We both took the earliest appointments we could get. I do like that the mRNA vaccines seem to have higher effectiveness, but J&J was tested later in time where there were more of the various strains spreading, so it is hard to directly compare results. I would have gotten the J&J had it been the...
I get my first shot of Moderna tomorrow and my gf gets the J&J on Saturday. I've been trying to help friends get appointments too but it is a real struggle.
Oregon just changed their vaccine eligibility requirements, so I'm now eligible as of Monday (along with probably over half the state). Planning on getting it ASAP.
Legally? NRs don't need to have a larger say. From a business perspective it is typically a good idea to get input from your customers, and finding ways to keep your big spenders spending money is probably important.
It also varies from topic to topic. For example, if MT wanted to require...
Thank you everyone for this discussion. This topic can really strike some nerves and I'm happy with how (mostly) civil the thread has remained. Keep it up!
We've had a handful of threads pop up about how women are treated differently by the hunting community. Here is an article with some first hand accounts of how women have experienced hunting...
A number of people report long-term complications after covid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_COVID). I haven't read the medical research, but it can do all sorts of wacky things to your body, everything from brain fog to breathing issues to heart issues. Definitely talk to your doctor if...
Both of the above points are good.
I've heard of guys that add recoil pads in off season/warm weather to get a little extra length, but then take the pad off when bundled up in the duck blind. Most of the guns I've seen also include spacers that will get you at least most of the way to 15.5".
These ones? https://www.sitkagear.com/products/blizzard-gtx-mitten/optifade-subalpine
I've got the ones he was using in some of the trapping videos. They are waterproof, super warm, and very sturdy. I'm a big fan.
This might be a computer issue. Try closing any other open programs that you don't need. See if you can clean up some of your files on your hard drive (many video editing programs liberally use free space on your hard drive for temporary playback previews and not having enough space can slow...
Computer Science is a useful skill that can make you some extra money while being very flexible with both time and location. There are lots of bootcamps out there that give you everything you need to be productive.

You'll probably have to pick a different track.
On YouTube, once they identify that a video has copyrighted audio, they let the copyright holder decide what to do with it. Many are happy to just take the ad revenue from videos with their content and let the video go on, but others will block...
I have been pretty surprised at how wary the birds are.
Johnson was my second choice. I went to the little ODFW check in station one morning after they had assigned all the blinds just so I could talk with the wildlife managers. They pointed me to the lakes on the east side that are manageable...
Too late for that, unfortunately. Definitely a cool bird. One of them was significantly larger than the other - my buddy thought I accidentally shot a goose by accident at first.
On the day I drew the reservation blind, one of the blinds way down the lake was shooting at phantoms. I chatted with another guy who was there that day and had a better vantage of that blind - he confirmed that they were just shooting at things way too far away. I really enjoyed the reservation...
This is the first year since moving to Oregon that I really made an effort to go out. Deer + elk hunting was a bit of a bust, and the steelhead are still undefeated, but I've had some luck with the ducks at least. I don't have access to a dog or boat or private land so we've been fighting the...
