In some cases yes, in some cases no. We can't substitute our personal data analysis for every issue facing us in life. We have to take some things at face value or we will be paralyzed.

Yup. It was not a red-team/blue-team post. It was just a reminder that our "hunches" that align with our "beliefs" should always be questioned.- VikingsGuy

Seems like a good point in time to reflect on how our preconceived political beliefs turn us stupid. This is not partisan - it is all of us - it is both sides. Now is also a good time to take a deep breath and not use "beliefs" and assumptions as a guide to understanding reality.- VikingsGuy

Moving to the South?
I strongly encourage all to share far and wide -- MN North Shore is a horrible horrible place and no one should go there. Stay away! It is too cold, too remote, too buggy, too MAGA and there really isn't much water to be found in any direction. (on the bright side, the immigrants will...- VikingsGuy

Bullet Failure?
Call me simple, but sounds like the bullet did its job - resulted in a carcass not a wounded animal. I understand why we want expansion (or more like petal shedding in the case of Hammers) - and anything close to a semi-predictable failure to take animals cleanly would be a problem I would not...- VikingsGuy
