Yeah, it's a great flick. I also liked the fact that the lead role was played by Ralph Fiennes...a brilliant dramatic actor...and that Bill Murray (comedy box office gold) popped up in only a brief bit part.

Maybe you didn't throw it hard enough?

I don't do tree stands, and I don't think I'd like an 8 yd shot from even 20' up...but I don't know if the difference between that and 35' up is as dramatic as it sounds at first. At 20' elevation you're shooting ~10.4 yds at an angle of ~40° below horizontal. Even at that close distance the margin for error is significantly smaller than with a more-or-less horizontal shot. At 35' up your angle is ~56° and the distance increases to ~14 yds. A worse shot, to be sure. But the shot at 20' up is already bad enough that I don't know that the situation at 35' is is so much worse that it would significantly alter my shoot/no shoot decision. But I hunt from the ground, so I'm viewing this from a purely theoretical perspective and could be way off on my assessment of the difference between those shots, even if just from a psychological perspective.

I'm always happy to help other people spend their money. :grin:

Have you seen some of the land wha....er...pin-up girls that bluecat has posted?

LOL! +3.1415926 for that one.

This worked pretty well... http://forums.huntingcountry.com/forums/showthread.php?2427-Little-Bunny-Foo-Foo&highlight=rabbit+king

Yeah, but if the user is unstable too they cancel each other out and the system as a whole becomes stable. It's just like how multiplying two negative numbers produces a positive number. Yeah, that's it.

Did he have big pointy teeth and a mean streak a mile wide? Nice shot, Poot. I imagine that made for a couple of rib-sticking pot pies.

I solved that problem by bringing along a healthy 24 year-old son.

I know, right? I've been reading it for a few years now, and I'm still thirsty.

Five surgeons are in a bar when the discussion turns to patient preference. The first surgeon, says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered." The second, responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded." The third surgeon, says, "No, I really think librarians are the best! Everything inside them is in alphabetical order." The fourth surgeon, chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers...Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over." But the fifth surgeon, shut them all up when he said: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains,and no spine... Plus, the head and the ass are interchangeable."

I'm just glad I didn't come up short on that one.

This is an honor. First off, I'd like to thank all the little people who made it possible....

The little-known pint-and-a-half.

I think this post needs a poll added for those in favor of more drunk naked women.

I deal with cliques by simply ignoring the fact that they exist. But then again it's been just over 38 years since I was a school kid, and I didn't pay them much mind even then.

And while we're at it, here's a bit of TV history trivia I never knew until just now. Gene Wilder (RIP) was the voice of this 1967 Alka Seltzer spot:

This one too...

LOL! What a brilliant series of ads that was. I was only 8 when this one aired, but I remember it like it was only 2,496 weeks ago....

Maybe we should revive the "Why Kinetic Energy Doesn't Matter" threads and "Whisker Biscuits vs Everything Else" debates.

He's right, you know. Every time I try to order peirogies at Home Depot they jump to all sorts of conclusions about me. It's very offensive.

We'll get off your lawn now.

That strip club reference makes your post have more double entendres than a bawdy Vaudeville comedy act.

I think you're giving legislators far too much credit for logic, reason and being motivated by the desire to do what's right and/or makes sense. I suspect the simpler (and according to my good buddy Occam and his trusty razor, more likely to be correct) explanation is that there just hasn't been enough (or perhaps not any) lobbying pressure brought to bear on FL lawmakers to get them to pass such a set of statutes.

While explicit protection would be better, I would think that you could at least rely on trespassing statutes to cover private land incidents. Pretty good. Plus the constitutional protection you already mentioned. The penalty for violating the above statue is only a class C misdemeanor, but it's better than nothing. And of course, there's always, "Your Honor, I was in fear for my life." (I'm probably not being serious about that one, as far as you know.)

Mule deer are well known to be perverts. Unfortunately that page's link to the study in question doesn't work.

Looks like a misfire Bob.

You should have your own show on the DIY channel.
