Well the good news is you can’t choose what shipping service a company decides to send their products to you.
I’m sure it’ll happen but between this and Amazon steadily going downhill I’ve more and more just gone to get things after seeing they’re in stock somewhere.

Ahh, anecdotal stories about why companies suck in entirety. I can’t get enough of these. Are there any more companies who in your opinion should “eat a weiner”?
I’m sorry you work for a company that sucks fricking dick. Maybe bring up at the next town hall that if customers routinely hate you and have to pay to replace packages you deliver to the wrong place, you’re going to be replaced by some startup with drones that gives even one frick about customer satisfaction.

I honestly wouldn’t have even been mad at FedEx if the drivers had stolen the shite, same if someone had yanked it after drop-off, only so much they can do about that.
The thing that pisses me off is that they have the technology to know exactly where the package went, factually know they fricked up, but instead of fixing it they’re content to ignore it. Tells me all I need to know about them as a company and I’ll go out of my way to ensure they never get another dime from me.

If you are able to see where it was delivered then why file a complaint?
I used to think people were too hard on you here but I’ve learned over the years you’re an actual fricking moron. I had no way to know where the packages were delivered until I filed a complaint, just pics of a random door, and it’s not this lady’s responsibility to deliver my packages.

She knew she had planned on stealing them.
She hadn’t touched them, I wouldn’t have blamed her if she chunked them in the trash, not her problem and I thanked her. The point is that FedEx knew exactly where they’d left the packages but didn’t lift a finger to resolve their frick up, just assumed the business who shipped or I would work out who would eat it between ourselves.

Two packages set for delivery on Thursday. Get notification that they were delivered, but nothing. I look at the tracking, photo shows someone else’s door with my packages.
I immediately open a claim, respond to an automated questionnaire explaining the pic shows wrong house. 36 hours until I get an email saying my claim has been updated - click the link and claim has been closed because they determined the package was delivered correctly, but there’s also a link now to a GPS pin showing where the package was dropped off, my neighbors house two miles down the road. No way to dispute, says closed if you try to open a new claim, and that I should contact the seller.
I go there this morning and knock, lady immediately points towards her patio at the two unopened packages. She apologized for not bringing them to my house before then and I assured her that I was just happy to get my stuff cause FedEx didn’t care, not her fault.
TL;DR - Mistakes happen, I get it, but FedEx can eat a dick for putting forth zero effort whatsoever to fix what they themselves proved was their fault.

The issue with that is this is a misfolded prion that occurs in cervids. It's been occurring since there has been cervids.
This isn’t a known fact and is a big reason why people are tempted to throw money at it. CWD first appeared in captive mule deer at a research facility. Entirely possible that it didn’t exist in that particular form without some deer farm adjacent frickery creating it, and the widespread implications on wild populations aren’t known. I agree it’s been around a long time without a confirmed jump to people or wiping out all deer, but those are still valid concerns.

I hate to call it a scam, it’s a problem that needs to be addressed, but unfortunately the way it’s being addressed right now is to dangle a bunch of federal funding in front of state agencies if they can demonstrate that it’s somehow worse or more of a threat in their area. So you have a free for all of bureaucrats trying to yell the loudest and justify their own existence.
re: Varmit rifle ideas
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 2/14/26 at 7:23 am to SenseiBuddy
Few years back I put a savage 12FV 22-250 in a heavier Boyd’s stock and bedded/pillared it. It is a heavy setup but the bullet holes touch at 100 yards. It would be too much for squirrels but everyone loves shooting it.
re: 300 Win Mag or a 7mm PRC
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 2/12/26 at 8:53 pm to DownshiftAndFloorIt
It can be done with a roughtech heavier profile tikka but they are still a bit svelte without an aftermarket stock that’s gonna be $$. I love my tikka and I will build a long range rig from one, but it takes planning. After putting 300 handloads through my superlite I can say with confidence that weight is your friend shooting distance.
re: 300 Win Mag or a 7mm PRC

I’m all for buying a new gun but your 270 with a 140-150 gr quality bonded or monolithic bullet is more than capable of killing a nilgai out to 600 yards. There are relatively few people on earth who should be attempting to shoot an animal past that, and no offense intended but if you were one you probably wouldn’t be here asking.
If you’re serious about stretching it out on a live animal, a ruger American predator isn’t the gun. I own it in 6.5cm and it’s built to be a light weight whitetail or coyote daily driver, exactly what the name suggests, not a dial-a-turret tack driver. The recoil in something like 7prc or 300 win mag would be offensive.
I would look hard at something from Bergara or a Weatherby 307 that’s gonna be closer to 10 lbs decked out in a rem700 footprint, meaning you can easily upgrade any part of the rifle down the line if you want. I would pick 300 win mag if you don’t handload just for the ammo availability.

No form is going to make 3.5” buckshot a joy to shoot. You chose that life.
That said, 3” TSS out of a 20ga used to be something I dreaded patterning until I learned not to fight the recoil. You need to soften your shoulder and get behind the gun as much as possible. Same goes for anything above a 308 in a sub-8lb rifle, the more tense you are in anticipation of the recoil the worse it is, the gun is literally bouncing off of you rather than you moving with the gun.

re: Wildlife & Fisheries Notice Of Intent

Can you elaborate?
In 2022 MS established a special velvet archery season with the stipulation that reporting and CWD testing was mandatory for any buck harvested. Simultaneously, the deer permit required on top of an already expensive all-game license increased from $5 to $100, with the increase supporting the cost of CWD testing. In 2023 with data gathered from that testing, MSWFP secured federal USDA funding for CWD surveillance and continues to apply for more. There’s some $70MM up for grabs at the federal level.
Louisiana is proposing a special archery season within CWD control zones. The testing is expensive. I speculate you will pay for Louisiana’s petition for their piece of the federal pie through a quiet license fee increase of some kind.

It’s not about what anyone actually wants, it’s an excuse to raise fees to pay for state sponsored CWD testing, then when it’s found all over to ask for more funding to address it.

I got nothing on this one. A few came through one of our ponds but didn’t stay. The good news is they don’t seem to stay in one place too long. The bad news is they’re too smart to hunt effectively, and are furbearers in most states so regs are tighter.

Crawdude will be along shortly to give you the resources available, there’s plenty available to help.
As someone who is the defacto manager of several ponds from an acre to four, best advice I can give you is don’t fall into the trap of thinking you can ever achieve balance in a small pond, especially if you want trophy bass. It is not a natural system and you will never be able to set it and forget it, they have more in common with an aquarium than a large lake. It’s not backbreaking work but you do need to keep up with liming and fertilizing and especially removing fish if you want to see it thrive.

re: Deer Food Plot - Spring Planting Suggestions
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 2/4/26 at 8:21 am to Woodsmaster
Add a white clover like durana to your fall mix (or go seed it in now).
Spray with clethodim in early march to release the clover before the fall wheat overtakes it.
Top seed with alyceclover and joint vetch in may. They will mature as the white clover wanes in the heat. Those three will cover you until you plant again in the fall. I don’t see a need to till for spring/summer plots and it’s usually too wet to get equipment in.
