>saying boomers blame group think as a shitty tradition

Work on reading comprehension, because that's not what I'm saying.

>following a shitty tradition of blaming boomers.

If blaming boomers for a tradition, that originated in the boomer generation, that boomers refuse to let die, despite knowing it's a harmful tradition... is shitty, then I'm proud to be shitty.

"blaming" boomers? Lol.

Gender reveals being stupid and/or bad doesn't suddenly excuse balloon releases, and reddit sure as shit doesn't like those either..

Like, do you seriously think I wouldn't have something to say if the source of the littering was from confetti or some shit? And it wouldn't be just as popular of a comment? Know why? Cause littering is bad and your grief(or celebration) doesn't excuse you.

Keep trying though, I guess.

Grieving is not an excuse to litter. It's not like we're chanting it in the middle of them grieving. It's an internet forum where we're allowed to comment on things that we disagree with. In this case, "RedDit gRoUPtHiNK ", is just a popular opinion that progressive young Reddit is sick of seeing old boomers do out of shitty tradition. Sorry, not sorry.

Don't get me started on porcupines. They have desroyed so much of our stuff, its been a never ending battle. Insult to injury is that they aren't even good eating!

Our attempt to combat them this year is going to be to, instead of protect everything from them, and "exterminate" them, we are going to try to put a salt block out on a stump... Basically a sacrificial anode for our cabin, lol.

Certain parts, yes. But less so that they are only native to certain parts, and more so that only certain parts of the state are undeveloped enough for them to thrive. They not only need forests, but large swatches of forests. Unfortunately most of the state has very segmented patches of forest which doesn't cut it for them.

Best shot at seeing one is going to somewhere up near cherry springs/pa grand canyon/allegheny and finding an area within or adjoining a large section of undeveloped forest and then find a fallow field or an area that was recently logged.

Had one land on my treestand a couple years ago. Couldn't risk getting my phone out to take a photo, but it was literally 2' from my face. Pretty awesome.

More fun facts... They also make super awesome patterns in the snow. They basically dive bomb into soft snow and chill there for a long time and then when they take off, all you see is the pattern of their wings.

Crazy. We see them daily when we are upstate. Its remarkable how much they are essentially just tree chickens.

Their mating call is really cool too. A super low toned thump that gets exponentially faster.

when you are farther than 60' away all you can hear is the low tone. Travels surprisingly far.

Title stuff in PA doesn't happen at the dot. It happens at a notary and gets sent to Harrisburg for processing. If you are buying something registered in PA you have to have the person selling and the person buying go to the notary together and things have to be signed in front of the notary. As for out of state, things vary... I know for NJ, the owner just needs to sign a portion original bill of sale/title(from the dealer, not a random one). You then take that title into a notary in PA and they do the paperwork, you pay the sales tax and viola. I know MD and NY are similar, but might have titles...

That said... I would very much recommend calling a PA notary about this. The laws can be confusing sometimes, and they know them well. Its a very simple way to get the right answer.

Call a place near where you will be moving. Give them your situation.... Ask them what to do. They will assume that you are going to use them for the transfers, and you honestly should because they are giving you some knowledge for free.

Seriously. Don't listen to anyone on reddit, including myself. Just give them a call and you will have your definitive answer.

>it's a strawman argument

In order for it to be a strawman argument, one would have to view the discussion as an argument. I was having a discussion. And that statement related to the discussion. If you want to make it an argument, then so be it. Because a whole lot of what you are saying is wrong.

>assuming they would vilify hunters is wrong, they grew up around hunters and wish the deer luck and reprieve during hunting season-- we live right off the Appalachian trail. They just like feeling like Disney Princesses (just like hunters like feeling like Davey Crockett)

Most people that feed deer and treat them like pets are ignorant enough to think that they are doing them good. If these ladies are feeding deer as a favor to the deer, they are ignorant on some level, because it isn't good for the deer. Not shockingly if they are ignorant about that, they will be generally ignorant about other things that have to do with deer. Like hunting.

>there's always going to ve people who do it.

Other people doing it is not a reason to justify doing it. I see people litter all the time and not only do I not do it, I tell others not to do it, and I look down on those who do it knowing its bad.

>It's really not at all different from hunters who use feed lots

in the case of spreading disease, no... It isn't at all. But again, one doesn't excuse the other. I look down at hunters that use feed to attract deer as well and I'm not quiet about that either.

>whether they grow the food or are over in New Jersey putting out piles of corn.

Wrong. Growing food plots to attract deer is not the same as putting out feed. Food plots attract deer but keep them spread out. Piles of feed(which is not called feed plots btw), is bad for the spread of disease.

>Sometimes you have to let other people live their lives and feed a deer

I'm not telling anyone what they can or can't do. Ill leave the lawmakers(who in most cases listen to the experts) for that. But likewise, kindly get bent if you are trying to tell me to keep my mouth shut about having a discussion(or argument, as you seem to want) about how bad it is for the deer.

i cant comment on that, but I do know that there are a million more reasons to not feed the wild deer than genetics.

In many areas its illegal. Particularly with CWD popping up.

Whats ironic is these old ladies probably vilify hunters. Meanwhile, in their ignorance, they are doing more damage to wildlife than a hunter ever could.

🙄 I know its fun to shit on hunters, but no hunter is going to think that is a cow. Like yeah. There are a lot of dumb people out there, and some of them are hunters and there have been dumb things that have happened. But don't pretend that hunters, people that spend more time around wildlife than a 100 non hunters combined, are going to mistake a piebald for a cow.

A a hunter myself, that is a really cool sight. So... "rare" is relative, but these are not biologically rare. 2 in 100. 2% seems small but there are a ton of deer out there. However what makes the sightings rare is that not many survive, even to hunting season. They are easy to spot by predators, their mutations often don't let them survive past the fawn stage, or even much past birth. Their first winter is a much, much bigger enemy than the hunting season. So really, what is rare about them, is ones that survive.

Lots of hunters will debate on whether or not to shoot an albino deer, etc due to wanting to continue the rarity in the gene pool. That debate isn't really applicable to piebalds because the possibility of the gene mutation exists in all deer. Shooting them doesn't decrease the chance of the gene, be it to decrease the suffering and improve the health of the species, or otherwise... but many hunters will let them walk just for wanting the rare sight continue to be seen by others.

I fall in the latter category. I would not shoot one unless it looked to be suffering/starving, because I'm fortunate enough to be picky when hunting. I'm mostly out there for the experience and the meat, and as long as I'm on track to have my freezer full that year, there is no reason for me to shoot one... And admittedly there is a disadvantage in that I'd want to get the hide tanned, and I have other things I want to spend money on, namely expanding my arsenal of meat processing equipment.

Not worried about the registration or plates, just the title. But that timeline matches up with what the notary said, and will essentially be a week late for what I need it to be.

Although I'm sure things ebb and flow, so who knows, I might still have hope for 5 weeks vs 6.

ho_merjpimpson OP t1_j9l855d wrote

Thanks. Seems like it varies quite a bit. The day I really "need" it is march 8th, which would be 5 weeks after the notary. Its tempting to just go get it and finalize the title stuff after the fact, because the guy definitely seems trustworthy after a lot of discussion. His FB profile looks and sounds like a rich yuppy in Montgomery county that used it to haul daffodils around his property, lol... but I REALLY don't want to end up with an untitled machine, as we use it on roads and trails that require registration and insurance.

LOL. This is how it went in my brain... Look at old messages with seller... OK... On feb 1st he said yesterday. Carry the 2, March is next to February, March 31st.

Lol. I'm an idiot. January 31st is when he went to the notary. That stinks though. 3-4 months is brutal.
