    All federal waterfowl and wetlands research proposed to be eliminated from USGS

    If the bill passes with the cuts described I think the research has to be continued through taxes/fees. Pay (more) to play may be the way of the future. Especially for those making money off the resource, as it should be.

    There's truth in this statement. One reason CT has never had an early teal season is the state's belief that hunters can't ID a teal from other ducks.

    Turkey hunting,,,,,,,,,,, not really

    If he has spot lock he'll never get a bird. He'll be too busy fishing for eyes.

    NDR - Autoimmune disease, any Rheumatology visit advice?

    Another vote to check for Lyme, babesiosis, erlichiosis and several others. I've had Lyme too many times to count, as my job and of course hobbies, have me in the woods almost every day. One especially memorable case happened in November/December 2020, getting into the Dr was quite difficult as...

    Lubricating a Table saw

    No suggestion on oil as I use whatever light oil I have laying around to lubricate power tools. What I would suggest is to blow the crap out with a compressor before lubricating, and after use, to prevent gunking up.

    Must have been one hell of a screwup at the factory.

    NEW Duck Boss 16

    Looks like a very stable boat. I bet it doesn't draw much water. You'll gather a fan base with that boat.

    The importance of using the correct ammunition

    I agree, but it's not uncommon at small stores. Used firearms are a big profit center for gun shops, markup on new guns is typically minimal. I've seen ammo brought in with used guns intended to be traded toward the purchase of new ones. Maybe that's the primary return to stock route.
