Last post by nastygunz - April 11, 2025, 08:15:02 PMIt is mind-boggling the stuff that they are finding and letting the public know about. I almost wish I didn't know about the transgender opera my taxes paid for.

Last post by Hawks Feather - April 11, 2025, 07:48:16 PMBest way to not have anyone find out what you have done is to get rid of the people that are looking into it. If you have nothing to hide, why throw rocks at the one doing the investigation?

Predator Hunting / Ethical shot?
Last post by 1snafu - April 11, 2025, 10:48:21 AMI view that word as subjective. I've shot my share of coyotes in critical areas of their bodies. Yet a number of them hit the dirt like a ship anchor. Only to flop around a bit. Then regain their footing again & kick in the after burners. I've also made my fair share of "hail mary" shots. To each their own, when it comes to hunting. You know, every animal I've shot. Doesn't always die on the 1st solid hit.
Anyway one Winter day. I seen a coyote bedded down way out there amongst the hills. So I snuck in to the last hilltop separating us. Only to see that coyote now on it's feet & very far from me. So I did a hail mary shot on him. I elevated my sights at least 10' & around 6' into the quartering wind. Allowing for bullet drop & wind drift. Right as the coyote was passing through a barbed fence. My 1st shot hit it in the R-hind leg. That coyote jerked then passed on through the fence. Then it turned 180, came back through the fence & was flying towards me on an all out run. Around 300yrds it banked hard left. So now it is broadside. I'm leading that coyote in my scope as I laid prone. I shot my 2nd bullet.
Hitting that coyote broadside. The bullet passed through both hips/rump area. The coyote sat right down & started howling. Then it got up & was slowly walking broadside around 300 yrds away. I shot my 3rd bullet. hitting the coyote mid chest. It stopped then continued howling. Then it started walking again as it howled. My 4th bullet hitting it. Mid neck & sliced it's carotid artery. Now blood is squirting high in the air, coating that coyote with it's own blood. Finally the coyote tipped over on it's L-side. Blood still shooting up in the air like old faithful.
When that coyote finally died. It's whole body was coated in it's own blood. I thought good grief...As I stood up from my prone position. I looked back over my shoulder towards the farm yard. There stood the farmer smiling & his little daughter standing next to him. With her hands over he eyes. For a few moments I felt like a ruthless killer. Oh well

Napoleon abdicates the throne and is exiled to Elba
On April 11, 1814, Napoleon Bonaparte, emperor of France and one of the greatest military leaders in history, abdicates the throne, and, in the Treaty of Fontainebleau, is banished to the Mediterranean island of Elba.
The future emperor was born in Ajaccio, Corsica, on August 15, 1769. After attending military school, he fought during the French Revolution of 1789 and rapidly rose through the military ranks, leading French troops in a number of successful campaigns throughout Europe in the late 1700s. By 1799, he had established himself at the top of a military dictatorship. In 1804, he became emperor of France and continued to consolidate power through his military campaigns, so that by 1810 much of Europe came under his rule. Although Napoleon developed a reputation for being power-hungry and insecure, he is also credited with enacting a series of important political and social reforms that had a lasting impact on European society, including judiciary systems, constitutions, voting rights for all men and the end of feudalism. Additionally, he supported education, science and literature. His Code Napoleon, which codified key freedoms gained during the French Revolution, such as religious tolerance, remains the foundation of French civil law.
In 1812, thinking that Russia was plotting an alliance with England, Napoleon launched an invasion against the Russians that eventually ended with his troops retreating from Moscow and much of Europe uniting against him. In 1814, Napoleon's broken forces gave up and Napoleon offered to step down in favor of his son. When this offer was rejected, he abdicated and was sent to Elba. In March 1815, he escaped his island exile and returned to Paris, where he regained supporters and reclaimed his emperor title, Napoleon I, in a period known as the Hundred Days. However, in June 1815, he was defeated at the bloody Battle of Waterloo. Napoleon's defeat ultimately signaled the end of France's domination of Europe. He abdicated for a second time and was exiled to the remote island of Saint Helena, in the southern Atlantic Ocean, where he lived out the rest of his days. He died at age 52 on May 5, 1821, possibly from stomach cancer, although some theories contend he was poisoned.

Indonesian volcano erupts, killing more than 100,000
On April 10, the most powerful volcanic eruption in human history begins in earnest when Indonesia's Tambora volcano sends ash 20 miles into the atmosphere and boiling liquified rock starts streaming down its slopes. Its "cacophony of explosions" could be heard hundreds of miles away and, within hours, nearby villages ceased to exist, forests were incinerated and massive lava flows plowed into the sea, redrawing maps of the island.
The volcano, which had begun rumbling on April 5, killed almost 100,000 people directly and far more indirectly. The eruption was the largest ever recorded and its effects were noted throughout the world.
Tambora is located on Sumbawa Island, on the eastern end of the Indonesian archipelago. There had been no signs of volcanic activity there for thousands of years prior to the 1815 eruption.
So much ash was expelled that the sun was not seen for several days. Flaming hot debris thrown into the surrounding ocean caused explosions of steam. The debris also caused a moderate-sized tsunami. In all, so much rock and ash was thrown out of Tambora that the volcano sank into itself and its height reduced from 14,000 to 9,000 feet.
The worst explosions were heard hundreds of miles away, causing rulers to send out their armies in search of what they were sure was a coming military invasion. The eruptions of Tambora also affected the climate worldwide. Enough ash had been thrown into the atmosphere that global temperatures were reduced over the next year; it also caused spectacularly colored sunsets throughout the world. The eruption was blamed for snow and frost in New England during June and July that summer.
Ten thousand people died from the eruptions, most on Sumbawa Island. In subsequent months, more than 80,000 people died in the surrounding area from starvation due to the resulting crop failures and disease. A widespread cholera epidemic attributed to the eruption caused untold more death.
