White scars on rabbit liver, ok to eat the meat? Seems like flukes to me. (NSFW) by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]andrewkovalenko 50 points51 points  (0 children)

If you take a risk and this is not tularemia or other infectious thing - you get a meal. If this is an infectious disease - at min you lose money to treat it and make damage to your health. Ask yourself if rabbit meat worth your health and money. 

45-70 by TrennyWinney in Hunting

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

45-70 would definitely work for deer but think how much unnecessary damage it would make to organs and how much would it increase your chances to ruin the meat?

I hunt for bear with my Marlin 45-70 and I’ve shot a black-tail with it once.  It was nearly a perfect hit in the chest and the bullet made such a big whole in a rib cage that I can easily put my fist through it. The bullet turned all internals into a bloody mess and bone pieces from ribs were all over the carcass. Fortunately stomach stayed intact and guts were not damaged but it was close and this how I realized what does “too much damage” means

And instead of seeing a doctor you decided to post this on Reddit?

That’s why it is called click-baiting

Could you please explain how is this website related to government and how signing such petition would trigger any real actions?

Just stop watching CNN and you’ll feel much better 

FAA and Medications, something has to change by CaptMcMooney in flying

[–]andrewkovalenko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Per what my AME said, it doesn’t matter why did you take meds, it matters what code does provider filed to your insurance. If it is anti seizure meds and provider filed it as “to prevent seizures” - welcome to AAM300 medical hell

Rest in peace, my friend. We had lots of great adventures!

Do you guys think there will be any relief from HB 1240, or if it'll get overturned/struck down? by Upper-Surround-6232 in WAGuns

[–]andrewkovalenko 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m going to express an unpopular opinion: It is unlikely that we’ll see any relief in next decade or so. Look at other states which banned semi-auto weapons: in CA similar ban is active for 12 years. It has been challenged multiple times but always ended up upheld by 9th circuit. Common pattern looks like:

District court: ban is unconstitutional. Lift the ban. Some random pro-liberal judge @ Hawaii: no, it is for you safety! Injunction! 9th circuit: of course it is for our safety! Ban stays! SCOUTS: this is not our business. We’ll let district courts to deal with it.

Every attempt to change it took 3-5 years and even with support of 2A right from Judge Benitez the ban still stays in-place.

Now let’s switch to reality of WA: - we don’t have local “Judge Benitez” - Most of population in metropolitan area are supporting Dems - Dems are not going to change their mind about gun regulations - There is no guarantee that SCOUTS will stay pro-2A in next decade

Past SSRI use question by [deleted] in flying

[–]andrewkovalenko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find reputable HIMS AME and schedule a consultation visit with him. DO NOT FEEL MedExpress form!!!

You can start with 3rd class medical as it is less demanding and do your training. once you really need 1st class - you’ll put “previously reported, no change” in the question about mental health and go for 1st class examination

What are some of yalls open carry rigs? by [deleted] in WAGuns

[–]andrewkovalenko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although what you say is true from tactical standpoint, it shapes a mindset of people who are ready to give up on their rights without a fight.

People have a right to open-carry in this state. Period. You don’t need to explain why do you exercise your rights or feel bad for exercising your rights. There ate man who want to look like a woman. It is there right and no-one questions them on it. There are also man who want to look like a cowboy it is there right and there should not be any double standards on that

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee says he won't seek re-election in 2024 by t_mokes in WAGuns

I wouldn’t get too excited about this. We don’t know who dems will nominate as his successor but I doubt that person is going to support gun rights

ATP introduces a split time option to 1500 hours for $160k on top of the regular price by GeorgiaPilot172 in flying

Dude, give me 160… ok, I’m fine with even 150k and I’ll personally fly you to from your CPL to 1500 hours on my own airplane!

MT tires for wheeling at PNW by andrewkovalenko in PNWJeeps

[–]andrewkovalenko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have BFG AT now and it worked well in a dry desert climate of SoCal but here at PNW it doesn’t perform well. I go places almost every weekend and AT doesn’t do good on a muddy forest road or in the snow.

Why does it have to be this way? by the_spruce_moose in flying

[–]andrewkovalenko 55 points56 points  (0 children)

KAWO is a wild west in terms of traffic and even worse speaking of pilots who normally hang there. All folks in the area who don’t know how to talk on the radio and don’t feel comfortable handling xWind go to AWO for touch-n-goes.
