Clearly what is standard across the industry is insufficient to live off of, or else there wouldn’t be the requirement to tip in order for servers to survive. Anyone who is working should be paid a living wage by their employer.
My biggest issue with tipping is why should the patron be responsible to fix the failure of the employer? If being able to afford to live is dependent on the generosity of others, you’re being exploited. Form a union, force the employer to pay better wages.
The other side of the coin are the...
Also pretty new to it, but racking learning moments quick. So far my biggest downfall has been not waiting long enough after calling, by far. My most recent hunt, it’d been an hour or so since I’d heard any gobbling, so I was bugging out back to my car just to run into the tom in the woods on my...
I like the 336 for its handling and ergonomics. I don’t like the Henry tube loading gate thing, it just bugs me visually, and the Winchester 94’s top eject isn’t as simple for adding optics. Some might consider doing so to be blasphemy anyway. The Marlin is NOT light though. It’s both the most...
I’ve been trying to bag a turkey w/ my Rossi single shot 20ga the last 2 seasons. Had a chance at a Tom on the run last weekend, but hesitated and missed my chance. A mix of the uncertainty of the range, that he had spotted me so was moving quick, and that I had no follow up shot if I...
I was stationed at JBER 2011-2014, it was the 4/25th INF ABN back then though. Sadly, I hadn’t taken up hunting yet at that time, but there’s lots of land on post. Only encounters with grizzlies I’ve ever had were out on FTXs haha
Today’s the day! Can’t wait for work to be over so I can get out there and hopefully get a gobbler to come in. Working on convincing my wife to come along, too. She’s never tagged along for a turkey hunt yet.
Shame you’ll never know how good his genetics might have been. If it’s an area w/ otc tags, I’d probably try to target him specifically since he’s not doing the herd health any favors.
I think they could be used positively if one were required to have a commercial 107 drone operators license, and register with the state’s f&w, to use a drone for any purpose related to the locating of wildlife. I’d add that being caught using one without the above criteria being met would also...
going to use my little Rossi 20ga single shot w/ some Kent turkey loads. I took it out with me last year, but the toms just never came in so it hasn’t gotten to drop a bird yet. Hopefully going to change that this year. It’s just so small and light (under 5lbs) that it’s great for carrying...
