What happened to the bird hunter?

That won’t last

Spend some time around beaverhead in 27. You'll be sure to see some Ron. Unit 1 is starting to get over run with them too near the 27/rez border. Just so happens that bighorn sheep inhabit the exact same place as the FERAL horses in 1 and 27. Would we rather see bighorn sheep or feral horses on the landscape? there are around 70k bighorn sheep in the country vs 9.2 million horses, around 50k of which are FERAL, not wild.

Man, this topic went south fast! Love it! I am a horse owner and grew up in a ranching family and I HATE the feral horse plague. Cattle are regulated. When a cow escapes, the rancher loses money. Does it still happen? Yes. There are a lot of people that make money rounding up rogue cattle and selling them because the have monetary value. Horses are not native, plain and simple. AZBH88, do you shed a tear when you see people mowing down herds of FERAL hogs? If horses looked like hogs, nobody would blink an eye if they were shot

Costco has good ones for around $20lb. Bought some a few weeks ago and they were fantastic

Glad I'm not the only one.

I don’t think it would help the highest point holders as much as you’d think. I’d bet that the majority of them either only apply for sheep or have burned all their other species points. All it will do is get the next wave of guys that have 15-20bps for elk, antelope, deer and sheep into the game. There are quite a few guys with 35-50bp’s for bison too.

Or friends and family....Guaranteed

There are 13 people with 20+ BP's for Javelina. if the "combining BP's" talk isn't just trolling, those people have been in the know about this potential proposal for a LONG time. there is absolutely, positively no other way that people would knowingly buy bonus points for 20+ years for javelina. I'd love to see a list of names of the guys that have those points......

I wanna know who the bastards with 29 BP’s for Javelina are

I have stopped hunting them as well because i can't stomach the taste. i've tried it every way and it always tastes like a javelina. The last time i killed one i shot a little guy intentionally, probably 25lbs live weight. i took extremely good care of it, made sure not to handle it much, touch the meat with the hide, etc. i took it home and trimmed everything that even remotely looked off and made a pot of HOT green chili out of the whole thing. It tasted fine for a few days but about day 3 or 4 it started to taste like a javelina again. I once boiled a skull in a turkey fryer pot. i cleaned the pot about a million times and stored it. 6 months or so later i caught a flathead and had a big fish fry in said pot. every single piece of fish tasted just like that javelina smelled. never again...

Where are you located?

Do you have the 22LR cylinder?

I’ve been shooting a .264 win mag my whole life. They are hard to beat. I load 130 eldm’s at 3300fps. Coues poison

if you want to keep it quiet, stay away from an AR-15. They are LOUD. Plenty of cheap bolt action 22mag and 17's being made anymore. Look at Marlin or savage. I have one of the first Marlin 17 hmr's ever made. probably got it around 2003? Shoots amazingly well and i've killed several coyotes with it out to about 200 yards.
