does your state separate shotgun from rifle seasons (or statistics) for deer? here in PA they fall under the same season, the only firearms that have their own special seasons are muzzleloaders and flintlocks.The state publishes a harvest report the following year that is very insightful. For instance...
2019:
1 days of shotgun hunting across 2,395 acres, 80 hunters (out of 514 applicants) harvested a total of 8 deer.
11 days of archery hunting across 2,395 acres, 185 hunters (out of 399 applicants) harvested a total of 17 deer.
2020 (shotgun hunting not allowed):
11 days of archery hunting across 2,622 acres, 186 hunters (out of 356 applicants) harvested a total of 19 deer.
So a healthy interest in the hunt, both for shotguns and archery. As expected, there is a clear disparity in efficacy, which might be why there's less interest in archery. I can attest to it being much, much more difficult.
Maybe @Sandwich has been making worm paste milkshakes?That sucks. Been around any non-vaccinated makless freedom warriors ?
Massachusetts does not allow rifle hunting for deer (for population density reasons I can only assume), only archery, shotgun, and primitive.does your state separate shotgun from rifle seasons (or statistics) for deer? here in PA they fall under the same season, the only firearms that have their own special seasons are muzzleloaders and flintlocks.

Yeah, I mean this is going to sit on the trainer with drop bars for 95% of its life, then occasionally come out when I want for race @w00dy and his new babyphatI bought an old Specialized for this reason. And then I donated it immediately. It was AWFUL. Geometry, bars, tires, shifting, brakes. All awful.
The old days were bad.
I got on my old bike awhile back ('01 NRS) when I was visiting the kids in Montana... and couldn't BELIEVE how awful it was.

Yerp.It's not whining, ya old codger, just incompetence.
Dafuq you on about? You having a stroke? I rode that goddam thing all over the mountains for almost a decade. Shit, I broke a goddam coil Psylo riding that bike. I'm just saying, compared to "new" bikes (and I'd include my 2010 Reign in that), that old bike is a menace.Yerp.

No - the frame felt like it was made out of beer can aluminum, it was so thin...I was a Giant dealer for ten years, we warrantied a Dozen of those NRS’s. They were not, shall we say, stoutly built.
It stood for "Not Really Suspension."Wasn’t NRS ‘no return system’ or something?
Nice zipper Looks like your back got 3 more staples than my ankle didI have been up, switching between sitting and standing since 10 am this morning. I'm feeling much better this afternoon than I did this morning. Mornings seem to always be the worst.
But there's talk of sending me home soon. Tomorrow or Thursday.
I got the nurses to snap a picture of the incision while they were changing my dressing:
