Sounds like a freak occurrence to me. What is it, about once a year (at most) someone gets attacked by a yote? seriously. No need to demonize the species. Its a little ironic how much this same rhetoric gets used against hunters, and yet how ready we are to use the same extremist spin for our own in...

You guys are such homers.

No matter how much the republicans screw everyone over, you're so afraid of the word 'Liberal' that you'll never vote otherwise. It makes no sense.

Off Topic / Political Poop Tossing?

Hey guys, just thought I'd throw this out there. We're all political and with good reason, its tough times for everyone. These discussions get heated and sometimes offensive. Do they really belong here? Tagging the subject with "OT" still doesn't address the clutter that all this back-and-...

just a little note - i contacted G5 about the failure and they replaced the head, no questions asked. I love companies that stand behind their products.

Maybe i'm expecting too much, but i had a G5 S.G.H shatter on lose gravel after missing a target - blew off 2 of its blades. I guess if you go with these things make sure there's no possibility of rocks behind your target.
