Most of the best outfits are running big groups for specks. We run some small groups but it's more hit and miss.

If you're going to process a ton of rabbits look into the broomstick method. I like it was better than simple blunt force trauma. My son raises meat rabbits so I've done my fair share.

That said there is a ton of difference between a quick humane kill and torture. Bury this bitch under the jail, in a different country.

I have a 60 gun and it's not enough if using half for ammo. I can barely fit 9 long guns and 7 shotguns.

So morals nor caring about teaching children and they learning matters as long as you get a paycheck huh

Their learning, that one is free.

For what its worth I've won tons of awards from the state for my test scores while teaching at one of the poorest schools in my region. I fail as many students as the rest of the school combined because I hold students to high standards.

But I have 20 years of experience, 2 graduate degrees and am certified to teach every high school science from 7th life to physics. I also keep immaculate records. That means I could lose my job and have a new one lined up and not have to move my family. A 1st year teacher doesn't have that luxury.

Bitch at teachers all you want but in the last 2 years I've fought with my principal because I was forced to allow a retake after I gave a student a zero for plagiarism. They claimed sophomores didn't understand that copy and pasting multiple pages was plagiarism and it was my fault for not doing a better job. When I showed them the material I used to cover plagiarism, it was suddenly my fault they didn't listen.

The next year it was an IEP student who had missed 37 days that semester, including 7 of the 10 leading up to semester test. When I wouldn't tell her how to do the equations on the final she grabbed her test, fled the room and gave the principal a sob story about how I refused to help. I was called on the carpet and only saved my arse because I literally had over a hundred pages of documentation of her refusing to do work, absence reports and every assignment she had turned in, as well as logs of when I contacted her sped caseworker letting her know of the problems. They still eventually allowed her to take the test with the help of the counselor, a former science teacher, where she somehow beat the class average by 17 points. She still failed due to her needing a 105 on the final to bring her grade to passing.

It's anecdotal for sure but this is what teachers are dealing with daily. Just today, I was working with students on covalent bonding. I'm able to get the self contained student placed in my class for socialization to be comprehend and say this is easy. But the "normal ed" girl who needed four opportunities to get 8-5=? as a fricking freshman, yeah I'm going to struggle with that one.

Teachers hate the current system way more than you do. But if you think you care so much more about the kids and their education than i do....quit your damn job, become a teacher and by all means show me how it's done.

All waders suck. I don't care how much you spend if your out very often they will leak. Chene, sitka, banded aspire, etc.... my hunting group has them all. My 1k waders may have leaked faster than my cheap ones.

Go to rodgers and watch clearance sales for your size. Order that and some shoe goo or aqua seal and patch as they leak. When they start leaking too much repeat the process.

Calling for a chance of snow early next week. That could change things a bit between now and then.

I've heard a ton at my house but haven't scouted much thr past couple of days. Where are you hunting?

Unless you shoot a ton of geese, look into a 20 gauge. For 90% of duck hunters you won't see a major drop off.

Also the 400 is ridiculously soft shooting.

Either way modern steel kills ducks as well as lead did.

Sorry man, not even close. Now Hevi XII or TSS is a different story but even modern steel isn't in the same category as lead for ducks. I'm not advocating for it but it kills way way better.

It was mentioned earlier, if you stick with the big 3 you can't go wrong. Unless you are absolutely tied to one gun or system I'll repeat what I always tell people shopping for a shotgun.

Go to the store, close your eyes and shoulder the ones you are thinking about and then open your eyes. The one that lines up the best naturally is the one you should pick.

Just picked up waders for my wife and daughter for 25 bucks apiece.
