    Fwp December commission meeting

    They used to, and I assume they still do if these get reported. They also test anything that gets reported as sick or found dead. But opportunistic sampling is not ideal. The sample size is nowhere near high enough to get the statistical power to draw any meaningful conclusions. It’s hard to...

    Fwp December commission meeting

    True, because again, once the environment is contaminated to a point it becomes a significant driver of infection rates, no amount of shooting can fix that.

    Fwp December commission meeting

    No, Canada did the same nothing everyone else is doing. But that’s a moot point. Even with 100% buy in from everyone, it’s too late. There is no possible way to shoot your way out of a contaminated environment that continues to infect animals.

    Fwp December commission meeting

    I’m sure it will come back around so you might not want to completely ditch the pitchfork. I know they were getting a lot of pushback from several angles. I suspect they will do more scoping before proposing it again. Though if there’s really a 25% prevalence in R6 CWD testing I’m hearing...

    I am pretty sure this one has been withdrawn already.

    First season success for my 10 year old daughter.

    This is so awesome to see! The pictures say it all. I doubt you’ll ever forget that smile for the rest of your days. Congratulations to all of you, and I hope you get many, many more adventures together in the years to come.

    EOY ‘23 - What Worked, What Didn’t?

    What worked: The new ACL. Wasn’t sure if having this done in my 40’s was going to mean I would just have to deal with something less than 100%, or if it would be more painful than before after hard hunting. One year later, that hasn’t been the case and it’s felt as good as ever. Relining the...

    Lever gun and a story

    Might have to pick your brain on these. It’s the focusing for sure.

    Lever gun and a story

    I think he’s got some old shotguns, but I’m not sure what vintage we’re actually talking. I would love to take mine after antelope, but I need a lot more practice for that I think.

    Lever gun and a story

    One like this is typically reproductive/hormonal abnormalities, but honestly we forgot to inspect the goods.

    Lever gun and a story

    And to top it all off, Hunting Husband was able to take this velvet buck a week or so ago with the lever gun he inherited last year as well.

    Lever gun and a story

    Figured I would put the final chapter on this thread. I spent quite a few days taking the old gun out. Last known time it went hunting was estimated to be sometime in the early 1950’s, so by my math it’s been nearly 70 years since anyone hunted with it. I do struggle a little bit with the V...

    What is your single top hunting season goal this year? I expect updates damn it.

    Update time- was able to get a deer with the old rifle. I’ll update my gun thread, but it was cool to carry it afield again after the last 70 years of it sitting in a safe. Will go back to working on the bow goal once the gun season is over.

    Pre-turkey outing. I think this little dog just might work out. Now I better get to cooking 😂

    Thanksgiving

    I’d say killing anything 2 months after getting a new heart installed is just about perfect. This is great! 👍
