If I had the time it would be so much fun to take my rifle and set up a few hundred yards away from some "bait" and do a little "varmint" hunting. 

I have several Leupolds, all at least 20 years old or older. I've noticed that the glass is not as good as the newer brands but that is just the advancing technology. I've been having fun shooting LR and I have been pruchasing several new scopes. For around the $1,000 range Leupold cannot compete. They offer no zero stops, limited FFP and matching turrets and reticles in that price range. So, I've been replacing optics with other mfg's and now have 3 Leupolds on the shelf that are backups or maybe something I can put on a budget rifle. I guess it is costs and labor but I am not going to spend my money on a product that I cannot use. So, sadly, unless things change Leupold has already gone out of business at my house. 

Here in eastern NC we get 6 deer tags with our license with a 4 buck limit (or you can burn all 6 of them on antlerless deer). You can also purchase all of the antlerless tags you want for $10 apiece. 

So, what are the chances of Weatherby presenting a custom rifle to our new President? When was the last one presented? Was it Ronald Reagan that got the last one?

That would be so cool!!

They are quite common in the east but rarely ever seen. I may have seen 4 or 5 live one's in my entire 50 plus years of roaming the woods. Consider yourself very fortunate.

With both the Democrats and Republicans stuffing ballot boxes for the Hillarybeast her election is guaranteed. This will be the most corrupt and crooked election in the history of the former United States.

So it it looks like we will be ok here in se NC. I think the Brunswick, GA area will suffer the worst, especially with the surge. Everyone near the storm be careful and stay safe.
