Shorts

Today's goal is to get to a funeral in downtown Lansing.

My friend's father died. It was not unexpected. His father was 102.4 years-old.

Investing in semi-precious metals

A pretty good price for a good product

An even better price but they might not work for you. 

The word of the day

The word of the day is "eye-ballie". 

Used in a sentence: Bucks use their nose to explore the world. Does are eye-ballie and will bust you in a tree-stand quicker than a buck will.

The iron law of supply-and-demand

It is my perception that women often do not feel "valued" by men. They complain that men treat them as a fungible commodity like nose-tissues (aka Kleenex).

It is also my perception that most of the women making those complaints are in areas that have a gross over-supply of women vis-a-vis men. To be specific: College campuses are now dominated by women. Large cities are magnets for women. Some professions like HR, education, advertising and the social "sciences" are dominated by women.

If you are a woman and do not feel "valued", consider finding pockets within your society where women are not in over-supply. Adapt, improvise, overcome. Leave your comfort bubble. 

Women start looking like this when they are competing with other women.

No man ever looked at this and swooned "OMG! She is gorgeous."



Nope. We are far more likely to say "Do you need your EpiPen or should I call 9-1-1?"

  1. I tend to notice that Does come out first before the Bucks around here.

    Maybe that's a survival thing as you say they are more eye focused?

    But they are looking for unusual things. Thus they tend to ignore that old man drinking coffee on his deck :-)

  2. I used to tease a good friend who hunts hard all season. We had does in the yard, you could just open a window and get a shot. Sometimes bucks too. No sitting in the cold at O-dark-thirty. I also have seen many bucks while out on the 4 wheeler. I stop, and they just stand there looking at me. Easy shot, if you wanted to.

    And yeah, those girls are… not attractive.

  3. (Most) Women make themselves easily replaceable :
    They copy each other, act the same dress the same, and say the same things. And yes, they for some reason try to make their bodies somehow meet a (terrible) standard of image in imitation of some lead cow in the media.
    If they were at all individualistic in dress, mannerisms, or thought processes, there might be something that made them stand out or be harder to replace in a day or two.

    There was a dude at the Indy 1500 Gun Show last week that was selling REAL silver bullets The silver was about 1.6 times spot price, but they were cast and sized, ready for reloading if you have a werewolf issue.

    1. That's wasteful of silver and accuracy suffers because silver is too hard. Just infringe the Pow'RBall patent but instead of a polymer ball in the tip use a silver ball. Works well on werewolves, vampires, and wights - at least that's what I heard.

  5. Our younger women are in deep, deep trouble. It’s all self inflicted too.

  6. I went into the Clerk's Office at the courthouse about 10 years ago and counted the last 100 divorce filings. 92 of them were filed by the wife with no cause. If I was a young guy I wouldn't get married now with a 90% chance of having her divorce me and wreak my life just because she wanted somebody new. ---ken

  7. From years ago experience, if you're in the stand after legal shooting light, and a big bodied deer comes out of the woods and runs everything else out of the foodplot...it's a doe.
    Don't ask me how I know 😉

  8. The RMR hollow points tend to separate lead from copper.
    The Idaho silver seem to work real well for me.

    1. Good to know.

      Are you shooting them into water?

  9. Women are only going to go rural when it is the absolute last resort, and I mean absolute. They want all the perks and props of civilization, the 24 hour amenities that only big cities can provide. My beloved wife was no exception to this rule. I managed to take the family camping just once. After that, it was kids and me. She refused to go anywhere that didn't have showers, flush toilets, central air and a real mattress.
    Many women will talk about nature and the environment, but when it comes to actually living the rural life? Only after the stores are bare, the power and water are out and they are starving will they consider becoming a farm wife.
