Awesome shot, congrats!

I don't have a problem to a point with that Lance. But is the forest circus going to provide a means to help my uncle get game out of the field when he can't walk with a pack from war injuries but he still enjoys a good hunt. How is he to get game out of the field? Doesn't sound like he needs to drive off road, just needs some good friends and family to help pack it out.

I thought flying rats was pigeons not Doves. Both are...

Flying rat hunters have never been the smartest ones...

Time for all the motorized warriors out there to get a frame pack and some good boots...

Free fish Friday at the local Chinese buffet...

Always have a bag of cans in your truck, if they wont come down, have one heck of a target shoot below them.

Very beautiful coat... Congrats!

Recipe ??

Ok, enough! No more rain... I think there is such a thing as too much rain... My straw bales in the backyard are now sprouting...

Where is this "Magellan Rim" you speak of? Sounds like a great spot

This article in the Chicago Tribune, said they could have faced a year in jail, and a $10,000 fine... http://touch.chicagotribune.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-71923336/ I wonder if some of the people who were affected by this fire would have showed up to the sentencing, maybe the sentence would have been harder? Maybe the judge figured no one cared...

This conversation is just beginning... When G&F drop this crazy idea, we can shut down this thread!

Interesting that none of the people who wanted restitution showed up to testify in court "Prosecutors had reached out to nearly 60 people who could be entitled to restitution in the case, but none of them testified in court Wednesday on the extent of their losses. "

+1 for Bobby at A1mattress! He did mine last year ...

Sweet!

So, alI I had to do was post a few links with FACTS and SOURCES, and now I am the problem? And I am not a happy Camper? This is typical G&F, when someone presents the facts, that person is all of a sudden the problem... How dare I question the allmighty and all knowing G&F...

I don't know what the unwritten rules are, but the new rule should be no logos on the pictures you post...you can hardly see the animals anymore.

Great job, nice looking bears.

The ultimate Predator calling stand...

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department says only 2 confirmed cases in Texas, both were Mule deer. And these came from a region in Texas where baiting is not prevelant... http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/newsmedia/releases/?req=20120710a

Ok, I did a bit of keyboard investigation, and this is what I found on CWD being spread thru water sources. Basically many sources say there is strong evidence that suggests that CWD can be transmitted thru water sources. So this being said, shouldn't the department put a immediate halt to all wildlife water catchments, and begin draining all of the existing ones. If the department is so concerned with CWD, this is a major issue. Water is a much larger draw or attractant than any corn or grain feeder... The Center For Disease Control says: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/cwd/ Transmission "CWD can be highly transmissible within deer and elk populations. The mode of transmission is not fully understood, but evidence supports the possibility that the disease is spread through direct animal-to-animal contact or as a result of indirect exposure to prions in the environment (e.g., in contaminated feed and water sources). Several epidemiologic studies provide evidence that, to date, CWD has not been transmitted to humans" The Maine Fish and Wildlife department says: http://www.maine.gov/ifw/wildlife/disease/cwd.htm#howdodeerandelkgetcwd "Therefore, CWD is likely transmitted by direct contact with infected individuals, or by contact with contaminated soil, leaves, bedding, feed, or water. " The California department of Fish and Game says: http://www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/WIL/disease/cwd/index.html " Evidence suggests infected deer and elk transmit the disease agent laterally through animal-to-animal contact and/or contamination of feed or water sources with saliva, urine, and/or feces. CWD seems more likely to occur in areas where deer or elk are crowded or where they congregate at man-made feed and water stations."

So, if I coat my corn feed with salt, I eliminate the CWD issue...
