  1. Your belief is more rational compared to some of the other crackpot conspiracy theories other members believe in.
  2. What a bunch of crybabies. It should have been an unsportsman like penalty when he first threw the glove. If you don't call the penalty I'd of put the glove on and gone to the bench and plowed him one. Guess I wouldn't make a good ref.
  3. $500 a day is getting up there. If you don't mind sharing any info on the spot or outfit would interest me.
  4. It's not that Tarpon are the hardest fighting fish, it's that they are the most agile. They will do anything to get off the hook. Think Pike plus SMB on steroids. Who is the Captain...I'd love to see the place you are going to fish. Good reasonable tarpon fishing is hard to find.
  5. He's got the lowest plus/minus at -6 for all Leafs...and that is a sheltered -6. He's a one trick pony. I just hope they don't spend huge dough on him and sign him long term.
  6. I have a friend north of Brantford who said getting one or two in a hunt was a good day. Seems that some places are more "dented" then others.
  7. It ain't exactly like that. As posted before...https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/11/151715-conservation-trophy-hunting-elephants-tusks-poaching-zimbabwe-namibia/ If you still think hunters will be the Saviours of the Elephant and Rhino I can dig further to completely destroy that myth. In Africa it's extra complicated. Hunters, like fishermen can be part of the problem or solution. You most definitely want to give hunters a seat at the table and have them onside with a plan anytime extinction is an issue.
  8. Yeah Teddy and other leaders in the US and Canada. There is a Ken Burns documentary on the US parks and another on the Roosevelts...both good and revealing on this history. I have no argument with you about hunters potentially and realistically being good stewards of game land. You could say that in a more tempered way without "shooting down" others to make your point.. Those FB loving youths with their stuffed animals and self affirming websites can be just as much part of the answer to our natural world in decline. Consider, hunters as a population are getting older and can be just as ridged and unrealistic in their viewpoint on the most pressing nature issue of our time, climate change. We need more communication as a society, not less. Have a good day!
  9. Well it is a lot more complicated then that. I just didn't buy your intro salvo that Hunters saved the animals of the world just like I woudln't buy that fishermen have saved the fish. Of course those with a vested interest in a population can make a big difference especially when they are integrated into a plan. But it's not an absolute that Hunters are required to protect animals and their habitat. ...ie Costa Rica. If NA is ahead of the game it's got to partially be because of the farsighted policies of the governments of the time to reserve huge chunks of land to create National and State/Provincial parks, and this at an early time when the all the wild life wasn't wiped out. Add to that list of "protected" land some private reserves and ranches.
  10. Oh so all local and international government attempts to save a species are totally useless but put it in the hunter's hands and the species will be SAVED!!!! Yup, letting them kill the animals is the surest way see a population explosions in species like Elephants and Rhinos. This must prove the law of supply and demand!?!??? Somehow I knew it was a little more complicated then this. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC helps sort it out. https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/11/151715-conservation-trophy-hunting-elephants-tusks-poaching-zimbabwe-namibia/ "But a closer look at trophy hunting in Africa shows that the industry employs few people and that the money from hunt fees that trickles down to needy villagers is minimal".
  11. Exactly! Every hotel has at least one 110 volt outlet in the bathroom for what is assumed is the hairdryer but can be used for other things.
  12. Muskies probably attack humans more frequently then Cuda. They have a very specific target in mind when hunting and it ain't humans.
  13. We got to talking about that at the dinner table...they are a separate species? How does the basic biology work in comparison to Horses, Donkeys and Mules? Just checked on wiki, A mule is the offspring of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare). Horses and donkeys are different species, with different numbers of chromosomes. So separate species can mate and produce offspring? Fish species seem to stay mostly true in nature.
  14. Had an argument with a Habs fan and then looked at some stats. The numbers says it all
  15. With Matthews he can strip the puck and he can do the puck on a string thing and make other players look stupid...incredible skills but he does this without breaking an egg in the carton in the corners (reference to don cherry). His skills will take him a long way but it's like he is too smart, I don't see any engagement in the physical part of the game which say Crosby has. The real animal hunger hasn't shown yet and may never show. Marner would skate through a brick wall, or fight Chara. There is a drive to this guy that Matthews can't touch. Did you see that one interview, he was nearly in tears about going to the 4th line. He is so young still yet fully invested. That back check in the playoffs on the breakaway...that is Marner .
  16. Nylander - pure talent, potential to put up big numbers Matthews - top 10 centermen, should be an ongoing top ten scorer Marner - combo of speed, vision, and possibly shot that could make him generational. He is the rawest of the three yet he is driving offense for his line as an undersized player. He doesn't have a Matthews or Nylander on his line so his job is tougher. He got to the same point total as Nylander so far playing mostly 3rd and 4th line for most of the year so far.
  17. I can picture Matthew's and Nylander's ceiling but Marner's potential still seems wide open. If he works on shooting he could be top 10 point wise in the NHL.
  18. -51 eh? Sure looks scenic, not sure if that is my cup of tea.
  19. I sure hope scientists and experts start talking simpler when they explain things because this notion that verbal diarrhea from public figures is enlightening is really starting to get old.
  20. Cherry, seated behind a plush groundhog toy, asked MacLean if he and his “left-wing pinko friends” could explain their fears over rising temperatures in light of the prevailing cold weather.MacLean tried to deflect the question, but Cherry insisted, “I’m just asking you, the cuckaloos are always saying there are warming trends — we’re freezing to death.” Here is the best response on Twitter
  21. I'm with ChrisB ...eppinger red devil but the shape of the lure like in this collection, 2nd row.
  22. The G&M recently reported outages with the online brokerages because of large increase of new customers. Surely a sign that this market is nearing the end.
  23. A good visual argument for life jackets. Only one of the 3 were wearing them. Your last thought on this earth as you sink to the bottom of the lake shouldn't be, it's his fault!
