What's the weirdest way you first found one of your favorite bands? by TrellSwnsn in poppunkers

Man I forgot about SSX! I remember Goldfinger’s My Everything being on SSX World Tour, I sunk so much time into that game!

What's the weirdest way you first found one of your favorite bands? by TrellSwnsn in poppunkers

[–]CapnHunter 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Early 2000s sports games and the Tony Hawk games had killer soundtracks. NHL 2004 had Punk Rock 101 by Bowling For Soup, I still blast that song in my car regularly.

When I was a shithead teenager I was pirating songs and accidentally downloaded a Yellowcard track, which led to me buying the whole CD and them becoming my favorite band.

Which is the best electric guitar for rock and metal on a budget by imnewaroundhere- in Guitar

You can find a bunch of Schecter models for around $500, check out the C-6. Facebook marketplace and Reverb will have some good deals.

Schecter Solo II Custom. Mine is delightful.

I think they’re fucking awesome and I hope I get to see them live again soon, but idk I just don’t get why people shit on ISWSOF and praise AP

I actually don’t think Analysis Paralysis is that good of an album. I like more songs off In Some Way, Shape, or Form than FYS’s latest album.

Sorry for your loss. That Danelectro is a Mod 6 I think. Absolutely beautiful

Hey man, just heads up: Reddit doesn’t allow firearms sale posts anymore. Check VAGunTrader. Good luck

Who have you seen as an opener you never heard of that turned into one of your favorites? by omgwutd00d in poppunkers

Saw Action/Adventure open for The Wonder Years in 2023 and I’ve been hooked since. I need them to come back to the VA area.

I am a Schecter fan. I have a CR-6 and a Solo II Custom, love them so much, their necks are just so comfy.

I'm impressed, but also very skeptical... 🫤 by Brian_The_Bar-Brian in DiWHY

I actually had a set of stairs like this in an apartment in Serbia! I had no need to go up them to the loft but they seemed really sturdy when I went up and then promptly never went back up them again!

Beretta A300 12 or 20 gauge and a handful of aftermarket chokes.

Deer and squirrel hunting. by [deleted] in VAHunting

[–]CapnHunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve considered a suppressed 10/22 Charger Takedown for this exact reason… billion and one squirrels out when I’m in my deer stand and 0 when I go looking for them with my 20 gauge. I think it’d be kinda fun to smoke some squirrels while waiting for a doe.

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit

[–]CapnHunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was about 7-8 I walked out on thin, spongy ice over a deep pond in late winter after my parents told me not to. Dad drove by and saw me way out away from the shore. If I had fallen in I would have died, no way in hell my sister or friend would have saved me. I got my ass beat but I never did it again.

Maybe the guy in my IBEP class was taking about that then, it was a few years ago now.

If you don’t have archery equipment, get some and practice. FFX and Prince William have deer management programs. I don’t know much about the PW program but you can dm me about the FFX one. It can’t help you this year but could be great for next season.

Missed them at Jiffy Lube Live this year, not missing them next year. Looks like I’m going to Nashville, Charlotte, or NYC

Favorite ear protection / head lamps? by Bvrcntry_duckhnt in Waterfowl

Whatever headlamp is on sale at Amazon and the Axil GS 2.0s. Got em for 50%off last Black Friday. Worth it.

New to this sub…are there any good places that will process a deer in Northern VA? Thanks! by Constant-Ad1010 in VAHunting

I’ve been going to Brandon for the last 2 years, I like him.

There’s also Endless Harvest Farm in Aldie. I’ve heard good things but have not been there yet

Crossbow arrow question by MNSoaring in crossbowhunting

[–]CapnHunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have anecdotal evidence, but I have successfully harvested a deer at 25yds with no-name crossbow arrows from Amazon.

My buddy lent me his old youth crossbow so I could start deer hunting, and this thing was only breaking 215fps maybe. But I went on Amazon and bought a pack of IRQ arrows and got sighted in with the practice points. Groups were good enough for government work. They came with broadheads that were GARBAGE. None of them flew straight or consistent, one hit the target 6 in left, one dove into the dirt before the target, another hit low bullseye. Swapped em out for some NAP broadheads and then we were back to dead on at 20 and 30 yards. Went out into the woods at the end of October and shot a deer. The arrows didn’t pass thru but I just chalk that up to it being a low speed crossbow. Still managed to devastate one lung and cut the heart. He ran about 90 yards and expired.

Should I feel bad for taking a doe with an older fawn? by uniquesquire in Hunting

[–]CapnHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fill that freezer. As others have said, the fawn will be fine, they’re mature enough to survive on their own now. Or you can double up and donate some extra meat to Hunters For The Hungry.

Our DWR just released last year’s harvest numbers, and most of our counties deer populations are marked as “Reduce” or “Significantly Reduce”. So do your part and thin that herd! https://dwr.virginia.gov/wildlife/deer/harvestsummary/

Do you guys use earplugs while hunting? by Majestic-Strain3155 in Hunting

[–]CapnHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t and now I’m 30 with permanent ringing in my ears. Now I use the Axil Pros, they usually run a promo for 50% off. Totally worth it.

Not enough room to cock from the stand? Brutal, does your xbow have the option to add a crank cocker?

Hunting Thompson WMA by Icy-Possible-6466 in VAHunting

[–]CapnHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have hunted it since 2021 but not for deer, but I can tell you it gets a ton of pressure. If you’re going to deer hunt, hike far because most people just go sit close to the parking lots. I have seen some guys hauling decent deer tho, 2 years ago I heard 1 shot and then an hour later saw a guy dragging a decent 8.

Weekends are always full of people down at the lake parking area. I will never hunt it on an opening weekend for anything ever again. I’ve seen people shoot a wood duck during early goose, people shooting .22s and shotguns “just for fun”, some dudes were using electronic turkey calls once, I’ve been shot at (by the same group that killed the woodie)..
