    Fed checks arrived on time

    For those who have lost their jobs during this time, I agree the money will help. I believe the number of unemployment claims was up to 22 million recently. My question is why pay the other 200+ million people the same money? Find a way to help those that need help instead of just throwing...

    What Pistols Do You All Carry?

    .40 S&W Shield - It is very reliable, it fits my hand well, is easy to conceal, and is very accurate for a gun that small. I can comfortably place a clip full of rounds quickly in a 10" circle at 60'. That is plenty good enough for that guns intended purpose and meets qualifying accuracy for...

    Fed checks arrived on time

    My family doesn't "need it" either but it is coming at a pretty good time for us. My wife owns a small salon and unemployment benefits have been delayed for who knows how long. On top of that, my college student son has been without work for over a month so this helps bridge the gap for a while.

    Weather conditions south of Thermoplis / Antelope

    Rainfall? It's still snowing in Wyoming. Yearly precipitation for that area appears to be close to normal. As far as winter kill, the next couple weeks can be critical. Late spring wet snows followed by cold can sometimes cause the greatest damage. By this time next month you should have a...

    Depending on the size of the bird, you can fry as low as 250 from what I have read.

    Reusing fry oil

    I have only fried one and had similar issues but not that drastic. The oil temp struggled to get above 300 for most of the fry. It was cold outside at the time I did it. In the end, the bird turned out pretty good though as I just kept it in until the internal temp was about 155.

    If your stuck at home what are you and your families doing to pass the time?

    Here is something fun to make with the kids. My 11 year old was pretty fascinated. The substance is truly pretty interesting. There are several other videos out there. Just search Ublect or oobleck.

    2020 season

    If we are still shut down by then, I am for sure going hunting. Heck of a lot safer than WalMart.

    Reusing fry oil

    I reuse peanut oil but keep separate oil for fish or anything else that transfers flavor. The key is to keep temperature from getting too high. Once it burns, the oil is terrible to me. My fish oil typically lasts for several different Fry's.

    Bear season closed

    Everyone's points are well taken. This is a scary situation. I just consider the measures being taken as selective. If they want to shut it down, shut everything down.

    Bear season closed

    I understand your point, I just disagree. Hunters take risks yearly with their own health. I see very old people at 10k elevation hunting yearly. Doing that might kill them but it is their choice. As long as people aren't putting others at risk, they should be free to choose.

    Bear season closed

    I believe at this point all we can do is let our public officials know our disagreement and remember what governors did what at the next elections. Some states are encouraging hunting and fishing as a safe way to social distance, others would like us locked in our home.

    Gunnison now “locals only”

    I live in Nebraska for what it's worth. I don't agree with the wyo law either. My point is some government officials are specifically targeting sportsmen and showing a disregard for other activities/businesses that are at minimum equal risk.
