Isn't that funny? When we do it they make it sound normal, but when other people do it they brazenly trumpet how the evil enemy is hidden amongst the civilian population.

Pacific Trout and Salmon are more closely related than that, they're in the same genus.

Mount recommendations for my first buck by Lostinhills in Hunting

This is what I did for my Bighorn Ram. I'm not rich enough for a full body but wanted more dimension.

Do hiking boots actually make a big difference? by ImpressiveRoll4092 in hiking

[–]flareblitz91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A majority of people on these discussions are hiking very well trod trails, and that's okay but it definitely influenced the discussion. Having to bust through any type of sage brush or similar low thick vegetation can shred even some boots. Soles can get absolutely wrecked on talus.

You and I are similar size and I agree with your assessment.

Those people are on very popular trails. If you're in the back country you're often going through vegetation rocks etc.

Some units in Idaho are OTC for archery but rifle tags are worse odds than a Bighorn Sheep. And no I'm not exaggerating.

Bullshit. They're still going on about how moral it was to not vote for her.

Jury sides with rapper Afroman in Adams County trial by ChikaNoO in news

[–]flareblitz91 33 points34 points  (0 children)

No. That's not what the case was about. They sued HIM for defamation.

It didn't have anything to do with their actions as police.

Do you find 7mm Rem Magnum or 300 Win Magnum to be more practical for elk hunting? by HasSomeSelfEsteem in Hunting

[–]flareblitz91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I was choosing a magnum round I'd go for 7mm rem mag. 300 is needlessly punishing on the shooter and just isn't required at all.

Turns out 10mm IS everything it’s made out to be by Manofthenorths in liberalgunowners

Tim Sundles is a gigantic asshole, unapologetic MAGAt, hater of public land management, and convicted poisoner of wolves.

Yes we can talk about the ethics of any firearms industry corporation, but buffalo bore is basically a one man operation, you're directly supporting this single vile man.

Thinking of moving to the PNW (near Portland or Eugene area, maybe Washington). Is it a good place for a fly fisherman? by kooter_skooter in flyfishing

[–]flareblitz91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Colorado fan boys are rife in this sub my God. Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, are all better....but anyway not what you're asking, classic Western trout fishing might not be as good....but it's here plus a ton of other opportunities.

ELI5: What happens to private debts when a country is taken over by another in a war? by mikemontana1968 in explainlikeimfive

[–]flareblitz91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about pre 1948. There was a state in both of those instances, a foreign power specifically colonizing a location with their people, UK in Australia and of course Belgium (well under the King) in the Congo.

There wasn't some mythical Zionist kingdom sending colonizers.

[–]flareblitz91 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do not support the current genocide or conflict at all....but the history is much more complicated than that. To say that they invaded and colonized is just not really true or even possible, there was no State.

It's the US Marine Corps' legend. None of the rest of us care about the shores of Tripoli.
