Does Checkpoint Violate Our Fourth Amendment Rights?
It's important to put this decision in context, too. Tanner (the guy who didn't stop) was not convicted of anything--the charges against him were dismissed because the criminal court magistrate judge determined there was no probable cause. It's only after Tanner then brought a civil suit (you...- bts09

WY Pronghorn 2021
Congrats on the retirement! As others have said, if you’re a meat hunter, don’t overlook the antelope doe tag opportunities. Also don’t get too hung up on the doe tags being in the same unit as your buck tag. Some of the doe tag units are really easy to draw and will give you a better hunt in... -
Elk Coughed, Not Much Blood
Thanks for following up with us all. Sorry it ended this way for you, but count me as on the side of those who think you made a very hard, but supremely ethical choice to punch the tag and call it quits. Is it unethical to keep hunting in that situation? My take: I don’t care. I know punching a... -

Roberts Has Flipped on 2A
Definitely too soon to say he has "flipped" based on that article. CJ Roberts is the swing vote now, whether or not he likes it, and it may well be that his entire judicial philosophy is going to rest much more heavily on stare decisis than he would have thought/wanted when he took the bench...- bts09

Good luck. Remember to circle back after the hunt to let us know how you did. Folks will probably also be interested in how the doe hunt goes in 102. As tags get more and more scarce, more and more people are turning to the much less popular units to try to get out into the field (a member of my... -

Texas moves to a cubed loyalty point system
This, or more specifically, the lack of transparency, is troubling to me. For example, right now, the only information TPWD gives for these draws is the total number of applicants and the total number of permits available. For example, they would say last year for a certain hunt there were 1350... -
Texas piney woods whitetails
Howdy all, This year, for the first time, I leased a small (about 50 acres) piece of property in East Texas, a little north of Big Thicket National Preserve. I leased it from a timber company--so it's obviously not being managed for deer (or any wildlife). Because it's timber property, it's a... -
Grizzly Attacks in 2020 at Record High
I think this has to be a large part of it. I don't know if anyone has done numbers yet on just how many more people are out and about, but even in Texas where it's super unpleasant to be outside in the summer, I see so many more people in parks and what not than ever before. Folks are just tired...- bts09

Blue Lives Matter
Also true. But the point he’s making has to do with what would happen to those millionaires if they did. And the answer is, they would be better off than a poor guy like me.- bts09

Blue Lives Matter
Here‘s a fairly lengthy read on the topic if you’re interested. I can’t vouch for the source, which obviously has a certain political leaning, but the numbers seem to be in-line with generally accepted notions, principally, that black defendants get longer sentences than white defendants for the...- bts09
