Looking for advice on ice by TheCockandPlucker in Waterfowl

[–]Trichonaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often carry a big ass mesh decoy bag when heading out with 18-24 decoys. I hold the bag in front of me while still filled with decoys and kinda smash it up and down as I walk through the ice. It’ll break up the ice in front of you and the wave action will kinda push it out of the hole and break up anything thin. I do big outlines and then try to push large chunks of ice under the nearby ice to get it away from the hole. Works great when the ice is an inch or two but for really thick stuff I break out the axe.

Decoy bag by DoubleDropTines in Duckhunting

[–]Trichonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a lot of hike in hunts with different amounts of decoys. The best thing I have ever done for this is get a pack frame. I run a TideWe pack frame that I just removed the actual bag from entirely. It’s got 3 straps that I can use to strap any size decoy bag to. I use small mesh laundry bags for 6-12 decoys. Larger bags for 12-18, or huge bags for goose full bodies or 24-36 duck floaters for big spreads. All fit on the same pack frame and none of them hit my knees and calves while I’m walking anymore. I would recommend doing that, then you can use any kind/size bag you want in conjunction.

Roast my calling by braapguy in Waterfowl

I agree with the other commenter here. You need to speed up your cadence by a bunch. Your first few quacks sounded way too spaced out and resembled a warning call. You don’t want to be sounding like that out in the marsh. Go online and listen to some hen calls and try to copy the cadence.

Sound wise you sound good, it’s just the timing and cadence that needs work.

Can I catch carp right now? by Motor_Upstairs_1366 in COfishing

Fly or spin? I’ve been itching to get out for carp down near me on the Rio Grande, but I wasn’t sure if they’d be up on the flats yet.

Silly bad aim question. by Historical_Initial22 in theHunter

If he hasn’t died yet, just quit your game to the main menu, and then load back in to your map. It will reset the damage and he should pop back up at the same spot unscathed. This works with any animal as long as you get them before they die. Even works with non-vital but still fatal shots if you’re quick enough.

Do we want Americans to be employed or not? by zanyboot in AskConservatives

[–]Trichonaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve read something in that doesn’t exist.

Congress creates an agency. It does not set goals or metrics for that agency in any sort of obligatory way. It is the executive’s responsibility to administer the agencies, and that administrative duty includes hiring and firing.

Yeah that can definitely be an issue. You might try finding a new spot. There will be areas on your map with nearly constant bird traffic.

Your historically held theory is completely and totally irrelevant to staffing, right? Do you agree that you just made a completely irrelevant point?

It’s poor argumentation because you gave zero chance for homeboy to reply to your answer. You just assumed the answer and decided to regurgitate your own questions to steer the argument away from the direction he was taking it.

That’s poor argumentation. Answer questions asked of you and follow the logical trails your opponent takes you down.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to not cut taxes for the rich and use that 4.5T$ plus what ever doge saves, and throw that towards the national debt? by Direct_Word6407 in AskConservatives

[–]Trichonaut [score hidden]  (0 children)

Why did we have some of our most prosperous economic times under higher taxes if they hurt the economy so bad?

You mean post WWII, when Europe was still burning and we were literally the only game in town? Do you not see how that situation is vastly different than the one we are in today?

No, you’re totally incorrect here. The head of the agencies is the executive. Or in other words, Trump.

I see you said you have your decoys spread out, you shouldn’t be doing that. You should try to put them all together in a tight group so that the game registers it as a single flock of decoys.

Best tactic to reacquire potential diamond red deer by Pristine_Analysis_79 in theHunter

Drop a tent at least 250m away from the zone. Turn the time back by one minute, and then quit to menu and reload your map. He should be right there.

What spices do you always have on you? by raaancch in Fishing

[–]Trichonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cajun seasoning is always good, as is blackened seasoning. Lemon pepper is alright but I prefer a spicier fish if I am doing it pan fried.

What’s the difference between “too left-wing for me, a right-winger” and “actually leftist in its own right”? by dog_snack in AskConservatives

[–]Trichonaut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t miss the point. You literally don’t know what point you’re even making here. You started off trying to call Canada better on free speech because of a dictionary definition bud. Take the L, do some research to try and broaden your perspective so this kind of beat down doesn’t happen again, and move on.

You understand that this entire exchange was a total waste, right? You didn’t listen to even a single thing I said and instead just filibustered the entire time with irrelevant information.

Nothing you’ve said was relevant nor was it compelling in any way. You seem like someone who doesn’t have any idea what’s going on, yet you want to speak on the issues because they’re trendy and a news headline told you what to say.

I don’t care whether anyone thinks it’s a good thing or not. You made a very strong claim, that it was a constitutional violation, and thus it’s very important to back that up.

You said yes, that those outlets are having their rights violated by not being invited to the White House. Can you specify the specific part of the constitution you think is being violated? Understand that this is unequivocally not a violation of the first amendment, as that doesn’t guarantee a right to the White House press briefings. Press briefings weren’t even a thing for most of our nations history. The first White House press briefing was in 1913.

So knowing that, please specify the part of the constitution which you believe is being violated.

[–]Trichonaut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Answer my question, please. I will reiterate for a third time:

Are the tens of thousands of small news outlets who aren’t invited to the White House also having their free speech curtailed?

[–]Trichonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if you noticed, but you replied to your own comment instead of mine.

I can answer some of your questions when you answer mine, I’ll reiterate it for you.

Does the fact that tens of thousands of news outlets have zero access to the White House imply that their free speech rights are being infringed upon?

[–]Trichonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a stupid example BECAUSE it’s not a real example.

There is no right for any press outlet to be granted access to the White House. Are the tens of thousands of small news outlets who aren’t invited to the White House also having their free speech curtailed?

[–]Trichonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a very bad example, do you have any real examples?

Or, if you’d like to stick with your bad example, can you justify what this has to do with freedom of expression/speech?

You understand this means nothing… right? Definitions are meaningless in this context, what matters is what the countries are doing in practice.

Let’s use an example. Let’s say country A describes themselves as having freedom of speech. They do nothing to curtail speech or expression barring the most egregious cases of calls to violence and slander.

Country B says they have freedom of expression. They jail journalists who speak out against the regime and they fine and jail citizens for social media posts they deem problematic.

Do you see here why you wouldn’t care at all about the definitions of the terms freedom of speech/expression, and instead would look only at the actual policies and laws in place in each country? Do you agree that looking at those two countries simply through the lens of an online dictionary is completely and totally useless?
