To show just how important the 2023 recruiting class is and producing similarly at least every other year:
- Thread starter MSU158
- Start date
Being all over the road, I will go with:
1) Maximally preserving individual liberties (caveat a citizen's, as citizen was defined at that time), to preserve one's ability to live and pursue happiness in a manner that doesn't remove another's similar liberties.
2) Create a functional government that supports the preservation of the nation.
Which are achieved through limiting the potential for the newly established Democratic Republic to infringe on its citizens or approach tyranny, ostensibly through establishment of individual rights, constraints on government, and checks and balances within government.
How did I do, @IRONBIRD?
I annually read the Constitution every Constitution Day, and took an oath to protect it when I worked for the Federal Government.
To me it’s not so simple. Men wrote a document over two hundred years back declaring all white, land-owning men as equal.
The writers of the constitution owned slaves. Their version of equality pertained to certain white men only. The world has changed. And continues evolving. At least the perception of some of us have changed….. Our behavior towards others should also change.
The constitution was a good starting point for imperfect people.

I remember the good old days (two days ago) when whining about Carl and F** State was enough. Sigh.
But I'm one probably one of Trapper's cavemen, and not evolved (yet).
Most towns don't allow discharge of a firearm within their limits. Crossbows are legal in most states for urban/suburban hunters.
But a deer can run 100 yards even after a clean shot to the money hole with a modern firearm (head/neck shots and spine shot, which are low probability, notwithstanding). And neck shots ruin good roasts.
Bottom Line: The neighbors might not enjoy seeing the dead deer on their property or being field dressed in town.
Different people, different sensibilies.
Yeah, we didn't hunt " in town" either, and I lived on the outskirts of town.
Some people see a dead deer or one being field dressed (guts & glands removed) and they say "Eww gross. " We saw dinner.
Nope, it was one of Trapper 85's posts on a "fair fight" between man and beast. No matter.
In any event, I'm probably not as "evolved" as some of you. That's what I was talking about.
One of my East Coast friends says about me: "You can take the boy out of Iowa, but you can't take Iowa out of the boy."
Just the best parts.One of my East Coast friends says about me: "You can take the boy out of Iowa, but you can't take Iowa out of the boy."
Sad to say, hunting seems to be a dieing sport. And I understand an individual's ability to hunt without being landed gentry was of interest to our founding fathers.
In Central MD, some counties have unlimited Antlerless seasons. And landowners who reside on or make a living off their properties don't need a license to hunt on it. But one is required to have written permission to hunt or retrieve their game on another's private property.
It's pretty easy for me to fill the freezer, because I live in a rural agricultural county, in a wooded lot, under stream conservation, adjacent to an inoperable dairy farm's fallow field, which is under agricultural preservation.

YES
YES again
you did well
YES for a third time. I believe the Constitution be interpreted as written and any changes go through proper channels to be amended!
Just saying men wrote a document is a pretty poor wording for - Brilliant men working extremely hard to write the greatest rules if you will, to start a country of all time!
and please do not start with BS about how things were 200 years ago! The USA is the greatest country to ever exist. We have done more for the world then all other countries combined! Has everything gone peaches and cream? Certainly not, we too are not perfect. The thought of what the world could look like without what we have done is frightening!!!
I grew up hunting, fishing and owning guns. I appreciate that way of life.
Yes, this is a problem in Salida CO. Also, decades ago Jackson WY had to create an Elk range just north of town to keep them out. Same issue then. I'm not sure when they did it, but seems like its been there since the early 60's when I started visiting
BTW - There is no place within an evening's drive of the Clairton coke works that looks even remotely like the place Michael passed on his big buck.
@bnicolls likely lives much closer to where they filmed that scene.
The further this thread gets from the original topic and from wrestling in general, the more it looks like a BWI thread. If people would start posting gifs with no words, it may suddenly disappear from HR and appear on BWI instead.
I have shot deer with a rifle from a 4wheeler. I have shot deer with a bow from a quad. The deer dont mind them at all, in my opinion. Many times they just stare at you while you drive by. Im at the point to think its cheating and is more effective way of hunting than sitting in a cold stand all day.
A guy who hasnt shot a deer in 7 years, needs to do something different. Theres an old joke about hunting success and getting sex, but I dont remember it properly to try and type it out. But I think you get the drift.
After all the ped state stuff got off your chest, this thread became RL interesting. It wasnt what the OP intended, for sure, but it seems a similar thread pops off several times a season.
I live 30 minutes from the Capital. Deer are everywhere. Especially dead along the road. Cant go anywhere without deer jumping the highways this time of year.I spent some of my youth freezing my butt off in tree stands while bow hunting along the Cedar between Palo and Vinton. I can still remember being downwind of a can of buck scent too.
However, back in the day, it wasn't meant to be a fair contest. (Trapper's caveman) It was cheap meat for chile and stew in the winter, and deer didn't seem nearly as plentiful then. Now they're in everyone's backyard eating the flowers and veggies. You would think that an animal that's both tasty and annoying would see declines in population, but I guess not without predation.
They should have a program to take the deer out of the suburbs and feed the hungry. Would be easy to do with bows, but they wont do it for a host of reasons I suspect.
They have had similar programs in Des Moines in the past. Trained hunters taking out city deer.
Then let's change. We don't want anything that looks like BWI here.
Yeah, we got way more guns, but many fewer hunters. We need to introduce more venison recipes to more gun owners.
Hey dumbass. Nice to know I am still in your head. I hope it gives you nightmares. TBH, I never think of you.
BTW I was the source for my allegations. Aaron Brooks DAD asked for 300k from a D1 coach who asked the school I worked with. I was in the room and part of the discussion of "was it legal". The consensus was "maybe" but we are not going there. NCAA has ignored it so far. Now with NIL I dont think they care at all. No, I am not on staff at Iowa-- never was.
If you are going to attempt to virtue signal and pontificate (more like defecate) at least do some reading and get your facts straight.
The PSU fans always on Iowa board.... such weirdos ...... do you stare at your neighbors wife too?
Please don't flame the messenger but I know he left because of covid restrictions, so yes, I am crazy.
... Did not want to risk giving up another shot at NCAA. Many NE schools still doing the dance with covid BS--
Well, at least you aren't denying it--- there is hope for you yet. Now stop staring at the neighbors wife .... or in your case, their pets.... weirdo
Yes, believe those scene's were filmed in the Canadian Rockies
so your coach can't recruit not our problem I am betting iowa spends more on recruits than PSU does!LOL
Get ready for a whole lot more, the season is starting very soon! You all may end up missing the "political" threads once they all come back!!!
I wish I had more time to spend on this chat board and make posts before we get to page 7. It is why I don't post as often as I might otherwise. One part of the whole "injury free" discussion that gets tossed out a lot referring to PSU and degrading Iowa as having a culture that causes more injuries. I don't want to over-simplify or ignore the many complex causes of various injuries, but one main aspect that I have never seen raised has to do with the quality of the athlete.
Top p4p wrestlers who start out as better all around athletes can far more easily protect themselves and not place themselves in those situations where some injuries happen. When you can dominate your opponents, I contend that you will have far fewer injuries.
That being said, anyone can get injured. Things happen. Body parts fail.
Recovery after workouts is important. More injuries tend to happen when physically fatigued and technique slips a bit.
One minor example from my own experience is illustrative. My coach started wrestling the same day I did as a freshman in HS. He didn't know technique, so couldn't teach it. I had poor technique with TDs. My shots did not penetrate and I would be stretched out under opponents. My long arms and strength prevented counters, but there was a lot of avoidable strain on my shoulder that caused a chronic pain that increased through each season. When I got to college with an experienced coach I learned better technique, and have been blessed to have been injury free and no problems since.
When you start out at the top, your path is easier. When you start out lower on the ladder, more work, more hours of practice, more taking ill-advised chances, etc. are required to make it to the podium- things that increase the possibility for injuries.
