re: Best budget binocular (Edit)

I bought these Leupold BX-2 binoculars for my brother a couple of years ago and have been very pleased with them. He uses them for deer hunting and loves them

My family uses nicknames exclusively for the 3 boys. M-Foo, Krinkus, and Bill were our childhood named that stuck. All derived from mispronunciation of our given names

When everybody can do it, equally, you see who got away with it the last 30+ years.
The problem is that there is no equality. One individual wealthy booster can single handedly buy a roster a la Texas Tech. There were certainly some small payments being made before but nowhere near the unregulated millions that we are seeing now.
Nick Saban On What Constitutes The Best College Job
Posted by MC5601 on 10/30/25 at 12:07 pm

“That’s changed dramatically, the whole question of what constitutes the best job,” Saban told On3. “What used to make a job great was facilities, fan support, good academic support, recruiting base and being able to create value for the players. Now that has been minimized to how much money do you have to spend on building a roster.
“That is the most important thing by far.”
This unrestricted free agency with no cap has to stop. It's incredibly sad that winning in college football has become almost 100% dependent on how much you pay your players and nothing else
At some point, as a capitalist country, cant we outlaw socialists/communists from being able to run for office? It seems like this would be an easy solution. Their whole platform is anti American

I’d think the average starter home in a big city metro is closer to $300k -400k at this point? Hefty down payment even at 9%.
It’s a lot more than that if you don’t want a 1+ hour commute twice a day

I don't think any of those guys want to recruit and grind. Great coaches but it takes more than Xs and Os to manage a 365 day a year program

It's ruined the sport and created a myriad of issues. If the fans wanted professional football, they'd watch the NFL.

His sideline demeanor was bad. Always looked upset and worried.
That is fantastic. I literally laughed out loud

Another way to put it: a person with 2 acres has little invested in a resource so they have no reason to try to preserve it. They have every reason to abuse a resource as they are getting the benefit from other landowners.
That’s a great point

Then buy their property and do what you want with it.
I certainly would if that were the case. One of the reasons we sold our last ranch was to get a place with bigger neighbors. Last place had lots of 5-20 acre neighbors that shot everything that moved. New place has neighbors with 400-1000 acres and it’s working out better. Next step would be to high fence but at $70k per mile that would cost $350k and not sure that it is worth it

It's unethical to shoot a deer on your land if you don't spend as much money feeding them as the neighbors.
Unfortunately, the 2 acre neighbor tagging out every year is one of the reasons you see high fences popping up left and right. These guys abuse the resource and eventually they have nothing else to hunt because their bigger neighbors fence them out

2 acres would be about a square 295ft x 295ft. So a little over 98ydsx98yrds.
Exactly. It’s totally crazy that people would try to hunt on something barely bigger than a football field. Definitely not an ethical endeavor
Imagine if your lease or property was next to these guys and you are trying to manage for mature deer. In our area of Texas, it takes about 15-20 acres to support one deer. Me and my neighbors would lose our minds
So true. If you’re on 2 acres literally shooting off the back porch I do not consider that to be hunting. My parents live on 1.8 acres in city limits and that is considered a neighborhood. In my opinion that is dangerous and unsportsmanlike

If you’re really trying to do things the right way, I’d say you shouldn’t hunt properties less than 20 acres. In most places of the country it takes at least 10 acres to produce and feed 1 deer so that would be the ethical mindset
From a safety and recovery perspective, you want your hunting location to be at least 100 yards from neighboring fence lines and that would be a challenge on 2 acres
If I owned 500 acres and my 2 acre neighbor was filling his tags (5 deer per hunter in my county) I would be pissed. Larger land owners often spend thousands per year on corn, protein, food plots to grow and sustain the local deer population. Nobody “owns” the deer but those deer are only passing through the 2 acres on the way to their home range
What you can do legally and what is ethical are often two different things. My mindset is all about sustainability and conservation of the resource. As land continues to be fragmented, these challenges become more and more common. City people often think they want to hunt their 5 acre parcel and it causes many safety and environmental issues
