    Texas strikes

    I worked with a guy who insisted we have 4-weel drive, a winch and two shovels. When all of them are exhausted and we're still stuck, it's time to start walking. That was his philosophy for pretty much everything in life. I guess you could call that determination. I usually called it being a...

    Trump DESTROYS Comrade Harris in televised debate

    Not much substance uttered by anyone but that was to be expected. The fun part was watching the dominance/subordinance aspect of the event. Where the dominant stared down the subordinate all night while the subordinate couldn't even muster up enough courage to make eye contact. Kind of reminded...

    Boom sticks are cool...but show off your bow!

    Back in the 70s I had a good friend that wanted to get into bow hunting but couldn't afford a bow. I told him about a local department store that had one bow in stock exactly like that one and it had been marked down in price about ten times, because no one was buying recurves. Everyone wanted...

    Great Social Media posts?

    Probably the most effective scent control product out there, since most of the human odor detected my animals comes from our breath. Still not spending any money on it though.

    Cheapest climbing sticks???

    I don't climb trees, so I don't know anything. But I don't think cheap would be a quality I would be looking for in something like climbing sticks.

    Gun vs bow

    I'm just the opposite of the OP, but I don't own a compound bow. I have always shot recurves and longbows. Nice recurves and longbows are more than a weapon, they are works of art. Shooting them accurately gives you a great sense of accomplishment and pride. A rifle is just a tool to put meat on...

    Weird Hunting Traditions

    I used to hunt with a guy who said he had to "draw first blood" He felt he had to kill something, anything, before he would be able to kill whatever it was he was hunting for. It wasn't healthy to be a squirrel, a rabbit or a grouse on the first morning of any elk hunt.

    Why is shed hunting so popular now?

    I picked up my first shed when I was around 6 years old and have been picking them up ever since. I haven't spent much time hunting for them, just picking them up as I run into them while working or playing in the woods. They would just end up in a pile in the shed until I had a friend who along...

    Hornets nest

    I edited my last post because in the last sentence, I forgot the 's' in the word boys. Funny how one small little typo like that can make one look like a big horrible racist.

    Hornets nest

    Working in the woods, I wiped out a lot of yellow jacket nests and a few bald face nests with "Bee Bopper" One year the government told us we had to use a more eco-friendly bug spray. Good thing we had some Bee Bopper stashed away because that eco-friendly stuff sure does piss them bees off...

    Storms/Clouds

    I remember reading somewhere that there are four types of clouds. Stratus, Nimbus, Cumulus and Big Ol' Bastards. That right there is a Big Ol' Bastard.

    Why so little support among hunters for growing game populations?

    Golf is a hobby. If you go to all the golf courses and ask the golfers if they would like a nice new beautiful golf course to enhance their golfing experience. You would get a resounding YES. If you then ask them to donate a bunch of money and spend a bunch of their free time to build and...

    Bowhunters - not a big impact?

    In the OPs original post, he states that the 900 tags account for 30%-50% of animal harvested. Another way of saying that is that the rifle tags accounted for 50%-70% of animals harvested. I don't know anything about Montana tag allotments, so I did a quick search, and it appears that on average...

    Communication in Business

    In the cases I know of that went to court, the first thing the judge does is order a survey with each side paying half the cost. If you do hire a surveyor first, there isn't any guarantee that you won't end up in court anyway. If you do end up in court and the neighbor has a case for adverse...

    Bowhunters - not a big impact?

    I actually agree with you on the fact that bow hunting has a large impact on wildlife. There does need to be an honest and detailed account of that impact when setting seasons and tag allocations. But this thread has degraded into the primal, "bow hunting bad, rifle good" BS. The fact is that...

    Bowhunters - not a big impact?

    I know that bow hunters do wound and loose an animal every now and then. However, I was watching this show on the TV yesterday about Montana game wardens. People were hunting cow elk with rifles. The nearest I could tell is that in Montana you drive around until you see a big herd of elk, then...
