[quote]Landry doesn't have the balls to attack LSU football.[/quote]
I don’t think he realizes that he has attacked LSU football. To my knowledge football team is not on field for anthem. (Correct me if this is wrong) I guess he is suggesting they have to change pre-game…?

It took Landry 3 months to prove he is as dumb as I thought he was. I hope I am wrong but he will likely “chase cars” his whole governorship and accomplish less than nothing.
The sad truth is that nobody in either party come close to beating him. Says a lot about our state.

I fought my weight for a long time. I finally got my head right and lost 60 lbs about 10 years ago. The weight is still off and I am in my 40’s and recently completed my first marathon.
These guys give a lot of good advice on diet execution and exercise.
I’ll add one tip from the mental sid...

Can Frey play center? Seems like a pretty athletic guy. ...
Seems like Ack is settling in as the Closer

Role seems to fit him well. Moment doesn’t seem too big for him. Multiple pitches and enough velo to keep people honest.
Guidry got it done last year but with scouting report out on him now, he needs to have a second pitch to be effective. Hopefully he continues to develop that.
I’m assum...

As far as consistency with control/location goes, so far this season, it's been: 1. Holman 2. Anderson 3. Jump 4. Hurd
If I'm basing my pen on that, Kade would be my Saturday starter

I’ll run thru all my rig for ya:
Sights:
I had a black gold revenge 7 pin and shot it for several years. It’s a great sight and it’s tough as hell. Pins are brighter than anything I’ve seen. If you are just gonna hunt Whitetails , 7 pin is too many, but BG makes great products. My two cen...

I actually switched back to whisker biscuits on my bows from qad drop aways this year.
The qads are nice and shoot fine. The only issue is if I have to let down, the arrow rattles a little bit.
This cost me an opportunity at a mule deer this year and almost cost me a great whitetail buck. ...
re: Explain it to me like I’m 5 - Running edition
Posted by tomcatrav on 1/20/24 at 7:31 am
I’m certainly no expert but the best advice I ever got was:
Make your hard runs hard and your easy runs easy.
Zone 2 runs 2-3 x week has worked for me . I mix in some interval stuff intermittently.
Core workouts and yoga/stretching combined with slowing down most of my runs have limited...

Trigger job on Shotgun : Rec’s pls
Posted by tomcatrav on 1/14/24 at 2:57 pm
I recently bought a Charles Daly 101 single shot turkey gun. The gun is light and compact and should be a great gun, but the trigger pull is crazy heavy. I don’t know anything amount gunsmithing or trigger work, but I assume this is a fixable problem ? Assuming this is fixable , any recommendatio...

re: Looking for a decent quality set of Binos for my daughters
Posted by tomcatrav on 11/29/23 at 7:54 am
My thoughts:
Give the older one your Nikons.
Buy the younger one a set of Vortex bantam 6.5.
If you hunt a fair amount I would invest in a good set of binos for yourself. Buy the nicest ones you can reasonably afford. You generally get what you pay for. Depending on price range I would...
re: Big buck killed by little girl in Texas

Your “Seek -One” comment involves deer (plural), in the 180-200” range. That genetic is there. Just like big Midwest bucks.
Show me three other wild deer in the 200” range from this area and I’ll believe this one never saw a fence.

Incredible kill. Beautiful deer. That said I would bet a lot of money that deer escaped from a neighboring high fence operation. Would be an interesting DNA study for sure. If that is a truly wild deer, that genetic line should be studied. ...
re: Age and score on this 10 pointer.

I’ve got him at 145”. My guesses and math are below. 5.5 y/o or older IMO.
If you kill him pls post jaw and measurements so we can learn from our guesses/mistakes. Thx.
Main beams 20x2 =40
Inside spread = 17
Tines5,9,10,6 = 30x2 = 60
Mass 4/4/3/3 , 14 per side = 28
