.270

is this an april fool's joke or what? you say you're a bowhunter, but a .270 ain't big enough? but a bow is? you don't recommend a .270 but do recommend a .280? they're the same thing. a .270 is .277 diameter, a .280 is .284. you know how little difference that is? basically nothing. and the cases are so near identical it ain't funny. they moved the shoulder a little on the .280 to keep folks from chambering it in a .270. if you try real hard, you might get a little more velocity out of a .280, but that has more to do with the increased bore diameter than it does with case capacity. hittin' em where it hurts is what counts. a gutshot is a gutshot, doesn't matter what you use. if you can't kill an elk with a .270 you need to stay home. don't be bashin' my .270. Lark.

a friend got his 3rd rifle pronghorn tag in 4 years last week. for the same unit i have applied for, for the last 14 years. don't sound like they work much to me. they increase your odds some, but it is still the luck o' the draw. Lark.

it just keeps gittin' better, i got a late bull tag too. man, i bet you guys are jealous o' me. tall, good lookin', rich, bullet proof and i already got a pronghorn and bull tag this year. it really stinks to be you guys. Lark.

i just got me a good idea. somehow i gotta get my cows listed as endangered species and then i can get hairy armpitted gals from back east to monitor em and watch em all the time and then maybe the stinkin' wolf/dogs and lions won't eat so many of em. i mean cows come from breedin' yaks and buffalos and stuff and domesticatin' em, so they was wild once. think it'll work? Lark.

wonder if they're gonna talk about these stinkin' asiatic doves and crawdads and while they're at it, them no good californy condors and wolf/dog crosses? interesting that they only want to talk about a couple things, when we have a bunch of em that need addressed. Lark. http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/031...ecies18-on.html

i-gotta-buuuull-elk-tag-and-yooouuu-dint-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, Lark. p.s., i got a spring turkey tag, a colorado goat tag, and we's goin' wild boar huntin' this weekend. i can't no more good news for awhile. my face hurts from smilin'. thppppppppppppppp, losers........

invasive is stuff that wandered in here on it's own. stuff that was planted don't count, except snowbirds, buzzards and wolf/dogs......... and anything else i might decide i don't like. Lark.

where do you guys "hear" all this stuff? anybody know anybody that actually knows anything? or are ya just listenin' to rumors? i mean i like rumors an' all, but i wanna know who starts em. Lark.

i dont' shoot farm critters. too afraid o' shootin' tlh's girlfriend. i bet more than one o' you jokers immediatley called the hotline when you read my original post tho. by the way, it's a colorady goat tag. it's good to have friends with land. Lark.

huh? then why did i already find out i got a pronghorn tag? Lark.

ok, how much you smarty guys wanna bet about my goat tag? Lark.

i wonder if any o' them cabelas permit putter-inners are wonderin' how the draw is goin'? i know i have a better chance than them and i know as long as i ain't heard "no", i still have a chance. Lark.

i think rembrant thinks too much. you're gonna give yerself a headache boy. anyway, that's what my uncle neanderthal jones useta always say. Lark.

last i heard there was a limit and a season on the asian doves. glad someone got some sense about it. they need to go on an all out assault on the things before they replace the whitewings and mournings. the grass is going to be a hard one to tackle. be about like these stinkin' salt cedars and tumbelweeds that we got in the late 1800's. look at what they have done. non native species of any kind are a real concern that need to be dealt with swiftly when their presence is noticed. my favorite is the crawdad. they want us to kill em all, but you have to have a fishing license to take em and last i knew there were legal and illegal ways to do it. i about whupped a game warden and chunked him in the crick at black river one day because he was going to give me a ticket because me and my kids were giggin' crawdads. he said we could only catch em on a line. oh well. what are the rules now? i know i think a little different than most. as far as i'm concerned, these stinkin' rocky mountain sheep oughta be eliminated too. especially in the desert. along with the desert elk herds. things change. they always do, but there is no sense in helpin' out a bad situation. Lark.

so after millions of $ (heck, maybe billions, i don't know), intense management by the azgfd, and all that stuff the net result is less deer, less hunters and a new $20 million bldg for em to meet up in. whadda ya do for an encore azgfd? oh well, we do have a lotta elk, at a big expense to the deer herd, and things like condors, wolf/dogs, asiatic doves, huge predator problems, no trapping (see: huge predator problems), etc, etc. dang, i feel good about this place. oh well, i didn't like the azgfd yesterday and now i like em even less today. this is really good info bill and folks need to look at it real close. Lark.

i saw a wolverine in colorado 22 years ago and they weren't supposed to be there. but then again, i did see a talkin' javelina too. so maybe i ain't a reliable source. Lark.

i always did like ups. like em better now. anything that increases my odds is ok with me. too bad the uso applications weren't on the same truck. Lark.

so what the heck is this all about? they try something? Lark.

well, after the fiasco o' me tellin' the clerks at the game and fish office that i was KGAINES and insultin' their mammas and stuff, they put up a sign with my photo on it with a red circle and slash through it and will no longer let me in. sorry sob's. i tried combin' my hair, takin' a bath, nothin' would fool em. then i thought of a good trick. i shaved my butt and walked in backwards and everybuddy in there goes, "HEY BULLWIDGEON, HOW YA DOIN'? AIN'T SEEN YA IN AWHILE". i am just entirely too tricky fer the average bunny sherrif. Lark.

i took a dump in bullwidgeon's truck. took him a week to find it. he thought he did it. as far as pissin' on the ground, the azgfd has been doin' that on our backs and sayin' it was rainin' now for a long time. i don't really even know what this thread is about, but it's interesting. Lark.

it doesnt' matter how crazy these guys are or how stupid we think they are, if outdoorsmen are gonna fight with each other and not concentrate on the real enemy, they're gonna win. i've been preachin' for years that while hunters, anglers, ranchers, loggers, farmers, sheepherders, etc. are arguing with each other about who has more right to the land, these anti's are sneakin' up with a big ol' bag o' $h!t to hit us all with while we ain't lookin' at em. anyone who uses the land needs to gang up, close quarters and fight the common enemy. not each other. differences in joint use opinions have to be either set aside or negotiated to an acceptable deal and the bad guys need whupped up on. too much pride will lose the fight. Lark.

like John Wayne said,"life is hard, it's even harder when you're stupid". this guy is in for a hard life. Lark.

it's about time they turnt somethin' loose that makes a little sense. a 4 foot tall turkey is pretty cool. now bullwidgeon can look one eye to eye................Lark.

my thoughts zakly. i'm thinkin' he's another hugger like the last commissioner this guy we have for a governor appointed. Lark.

i see we have a new commissioner. can't say i'm sorry to see golightly go. never saw where he did us much good. don't know what to think of this new guy. sounds sorta huggerish to me. with the way this guy we have for governor thinks, i have reservations.
