Thanks for addressing the situation and bringing a bit of professionalism to the thread, but also for allowing it to stay up.
Glad to see people holding other hunters to a high standard, but I feel that a lot of the clucking here could have been better directed elsewhere- it felt a bit...
Got text? I’m struggling to find it.
But by the title, this feels like a kiss to “make it all better”, when the “ouchie” is a sucking chest wound. Just ban the crap already- trawling has wrecked every marine ecosystem and fishery it has ever touched, including Atlantic Cod on George’s Bank.
Zebco Omega. It works. It’s not your 202, 303, 20-20, etc.
Edit- it was rigged up for the girlfriend, had to take a cast to make sure it worked. Oops 😅
But for hard water, the Zebco dock demon is an affordable option. Short, fiberglass, effective.
I agree with this. Because this further legitimizes using BMA access as a way for landowners to reduce deer populations, rather than cry for compensation after not letting anyone in during the outfitting season.

A few other major changes to this year’s hunting season regarding mule deer are:
Antlerless mule deer in Regions 6 and 7 can only be harvested on private property this coming fall, which is a change from years past.
Beginning in the 2024 hunting season, only antlered buck mule deer may be...
I know you’re being facetious, but…
The best job security for wildlife biologists is more animals to sell more tags and get more funding. Not pointless studies to keep the personal gravy train flowing while watching it all circle the drain.
Did anybody catch the bit about the whole “ran away handcuffed to the other side of the road, and said ‘you can’t touch me, I’m in federal land.’”?
What the hell is going on out there? Are they trying to make a live-action looney tunes? This whole thing reads like Barney Fife trying to arrest...
Almost been capsized repeatedly by them in a 14’ fishing boat. They have no business on the lakes I was fishing, and believe they should be banned.
It’s essentially them seizing control of the public resource by intentionally making it unsafe for anyone that didn’t spend as much money as they...
Um… not quite. 😅 4x4 by the skin of the brow tines.
Grew up in IL/MO, 5 years in Montana, in Arkansas for work now (pay is really nice), looking to get back ASAP (gf is still out west).
Last one I attempted was an 8pt whitetail in the snow. He went down. He got back up. Ran off. Heard a shot. Tracked that thing all the way to my brother, who proudly displays the rack to this day. I missed spine at 40 yards, but stunned the deer enough for me let my guard down. That experience...
Preferred method of the old timers where I grew up was to dispatch the turtle, boil a pot of water, tie a string to the tail, and then repeatedly scald the turtle. Loosens the skin to make it easier to clean, and also knocks the gunk off of them to reduce contamination. Then you can clean them...
