I suspect that the Pennsylvania case was declined due to the Texas case being accepted and put on the docket. It would be redundant to hear both cases.

Heck, they'd still be a deal at $50 shipping, considering they are normally something like $70 each. It's like turning down a brand new Corvette for $20,000 because the dealer wants to tack on a $5,000 surcharge. I guess I'm old fashion and behind the times. I would never pay $70 for this shirt. I could buy 3 ounces of silver for that money. Hey, I'm tight, too. LOL! I just figured at less than $17 each shipped, I'd check them out. By the way, I passed on silver at $14 an ounce earlier this year. LOL!

It is very packable -- it rolls up like a sleeping bag and has a little carrier that straps around it. I bought the booties as well for a little more foot warmth, along with keeping the inside of the suit mud-free.

I've decided that instead of wallowing in self pity over a farm that I loved dearly and lost, I'm going to improve another 250-acre farm that I hunt. I had sole permission on it since 2006 until this year, when the landowner's granddaughter started dating a young man and he decided to take up Indiana deer hunting. I figure it's easier to work with the "kid" than against him. We've shared deer sightings and he helped me move a ladder stand this past week. I've been mentoring him and explaining Indiana game laws to him -- a good thing, too, since he had plans to shoot a bobcat he'd been getting on camera. LOL!
My goal is to finally give food plots a shot after 26 years, as well as a little bit of chainsaw work to open some travel corridors blocked by tornado/timbering damage.

In mourning because deer hunting as I`ve known it for the last 25 plus years is over, in mourning because I`d made a bond with those two little pieces of ground, and in mourning because for all intents and purposes, my deer hunting "career" is over. I felt the same way in late 2017. I was contacted by the owner of 350 acres of land behind my house that I'd had sole permission to hunt for 23 years to let me know that the property was going to be heavily timbered and sold. I was allowed to finish the firearms season and took a decent 8-pointer within 15-20 minutes of the season's closing. I would have let it walk if it weren't my last day there. The loss of that farm and my mother's death 5 months later put me into such a violent tailspin that I walked away from a 23-year marriage and essentially quit hunting for 2.5 years. I finally got back into deer hunting a few weeks ago with the firearms opener. I had been an avid archer since 1989 (bowhunter since 1997), and lived for the early archery season, yet I haven't drawn a bow since 2017. Now, with right shoulder pains beginning to worsen, I may not shoot again unless I take the crossbow route. That's quite a fitting end for a guy who strongly opposed their inclusion in the beginning. LOL! I'm still trying to get my deer hunting excitement back. I, as well as you, will get past this pity party. Hang in there!

Good sale, I’m just not paying $18 for shipping. I guess you could do like Woody and order more than one set, since the shipping is a flat rate. I'll gladly pay $33 shipped for what would normally be around $150 shipped.

I assume this is good stuff? I figured for $8 each plus shipping, I'd find out.

Discount code didn't work for me. Hmmm, worked for me. It is supposed to expire today, but I figured it would be later.

Anyone here own a Heater Body Suit? After 25 deer seasons without one, I finally decided to spend the money and see if these things were simply a gimmick or if they really worked. My brother-in-law as well as a friend both swear by them, but I was still skeptical. I get cold sitting stationary in a treestand if it dips below freezing, even with my $600 Cabela's MT050 Whitetail Extreme bibs and parka. I finally got to test out my Heater Body Suit this morning. The temperature here was 25 degrees pre-dawn and rose to 32 degrees when I climbed down at 11:00 AM. I wore a polypropylene base layer, a hooded pullover sweatshirt, and my fleece bowhunting outfit. I didn't wear gloves. I sat for 4 hours in sub-freezing temps and didn't get chilled even slightly. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. I wish I'd have bought it years ago. I know this sounds like a commercial, but I just wanted to let you guys know that the thing really works.

Thankfully, if I pull the trigger on my muzzleloader, there won't be any smoke. LOL!
Good luck to everyone.

IMR also makes the 4198, I have NOT had good luck with the IMR version. I have a CVA Apex .45-70 converted into a .45 muzzleloader. I'm using 56 grains of IMR 4198 and a CCI large rifle magnum primer to push a 200-grain Hornady SST .40 bullet in a sabot. I can't remember the velocity, but it seems like it was right at 2500 FPS. It puts 'em in the bullseye at 100 yards, so I'm happy with it.

It has a nice, long handle -- which is a HUGE plus!

Very cool weapon system you got there! Thank you! I set it up as a single-shot with a side-charging handle. I installed the gas block backwards to cover the barrel's gas port.

Well, I held out until the last evening of firearms season to take a doe. I shot her 15 minutes after climbing into my ladder stand with a suppressed AR-15 pistol chambered in .300 AAC Blackout. The shot was right in the heart. I hadn't hunted much over the 4-day weekend due to putting brakes on my truck and running into problems. Did one side Friday night and ran into problems on the other side Saturday morning, so I ended up buying another caliper after the brakes on one wheel stuck on the test drive and smoked. I was just too worn out to get out of bed this morning. LOL! I did check the zero on my smokeless muzzleloader this afternoon after cleaning it. I must not have dried it out well enough, as the first shot was a tiny pop and I actually saw the bullet lob out in a short arc. LOL! The second shot was dead nuts in the bullseye at 100 yards, so I'm good to go next weekend. It's buck only for me the rest of the season.

Letting you guys know that going back to work after vacation SUCKS!!! The way to beat that feeling is to not take a vacation in the first place. LOL!
