First, I ever heard of that. Just wondered if anyone else has heard this.

In south Alabama the rut isn't until February in most counties. So they extended the season through Feb but didn't start it until the 25th of October. Gun season starts 22 November. No tags in Alabama, one antlered and one non antlered deer a day.
Roadkill, definitely go get a bow. Not only is it fun but it will by necessity elevate your hunting game. It's easy relatively easy to shoot a deer with a gun from 100ds. Try coaxing them in to within 10-30 yds. Expect to spend 2 or 3 more bills for the accouterments that go with the bow. Give yourself a $1000 budget and skip the entry level bows.

Not a big deal, you have a copy of the release, if everything is not how it should be just don't push. The rel could be signed when doing the paperwork and handed to the agent.

That's the problem Ice. The agents are showing up to close the door well before the D-7 Pre pushback message. The release you sign says you have all the paperwork including a FSR or EFSR. That comes at the time of the PPB message. I had a captain just sign it for me and hand it over whenever the agent wanted it.

And that updated weather and passenger count has to go. Seriously, with a WDR and an ACARS, isn't just an other tree that gives it's life for no reason?
