    Interesting.

    About a month ago, ATC told me via e-mail that vaccinated people could spread the virus and that was why they would not recognize it. I guess vaccines got more sciency since then.

    If conservation land has been bought and paid for by hunters, why isn't it fair that only hunters use that land for a few weeks out of the year.

    Never mind. Closed minds, here.
