Interesting that the Republicans voted to fund a bunch of agencies that are fraught with abuse, waste and fraud.- nrpate05

He was your president too. Just work a little harder and pull yourself up by your bootstraps. No more Avocado toast either.- nrpate05

recession?
Normally I'd agree, but this one is pretty cut and dry. Trump threatens Tariffs and market tanks, he pulls back and it stabilizes. He threatens again and market tanks. People need to be held responsible for their actions.- nrpate05

Tariffs are inflationary, but I think Trumps tactic is to mitigate the inflation by crushing the economy to the point where people have no purchasing power and therefore demand is diminished. All his buddies can then buy stocks on sale.- nrpate05

Time for new shoes
The Coopers are solid. They wore kinda unevenly and made a howling noise if I went more than like 4k between rotations. But a great balance between on road and off road performance.- nrpate05

Colorado Mule Deer - First Draw Hunt After Years of OTC
1) I'm not sure I'd plan my deer hunt around OTC elk hunters, but I understand the tactic. There could be just as many elk hunters in a draw unit, although I suppose it is more predictable. 2) Since you're burning points, I'd focus this on purely mule deer. You'll limit yourself with having to... -

Big Bullets for Big Animals?
My heavy hitter is a 25-06 with a 100 grain TTSX. Full pass through on my elk this year. Why go bigger?! -

Colorado Elk Unit 41,42,411 1st Rifle
I hunted 1st rifle in 42 in 2015. Access is pretty simple and there isn't much high country that CO is known for. I was in elk everyday and should have filled my tag but it just never came together. I had a cow tag and saw the same bull bugling 3 days in a row that I could have shot opening... -

Elon on Joe Rogan
I used to listed to a lot of Joe Rogan. Still do every now and again when he has an interesting guest. It seems like most of the episodes devolve into the same things nowadays. Vaccines, MMA and how democrats are bad. I haven't listened to the Elon one, but if it is anything like the Trump...- nrpate05

USPS
The post office is the absolute worst. Everytime I go in there its like stepping back into the 70s, which I guess isn't that bad of a thing. I shipped a small package to a colleague on Jan. 20 in a town ~200 miles away. The package did an 800 mile triangle before getting lost. On Feb 9., it was...- nrpate05

Christensen Arms, what's the verdict?
I had to Mesa's and I've sold both. They both actually shot quite well. What bothered me was the bolt. It was super sticky on both guns - more so with certain types of ammo. I reached out to CA and they said they use a stiffer spring than other manufacturers and that it would break in over time... -
