Theoretically, this process can go on indefinitely, effectively rendering the jellyfish biologically immortal,[3][6] although in practice individuals can still die. In nature, most Turritopsis dohrnii are likely to succumb to predation or disease in the medusa stage without reverting to the polyp form.[7] --WP

Yeah, lots of shooting enthusiasts on both sides of the family, so I've always been around firearms and hunters.

I've usually only been a target and clays shooter, as I've zero interest in anything I don't plan on eating. With my ex wife, she didn't like the taste (though I think it was more the idea it was deer), so I basically pretended to hunt and not shoot anything, but current wife loves it, so I started trying again. We actually had venison chops tonight, as I'm trying to clear out the freezer.

I believe PA is having a hard time meeting desired harvest numbers, though I don't follow that news all that closely. My brother was talking to me today about picking up some extra tags because there were so many left.

There was an active beaver dam on our property upstate, and I saw the beavers moving around while up there a while back. I hope they are still there, they were really neat, and baby beavers are some of the cutest animal babies.

Kinda implies that you're interested in eating the targets and clays
