First part: Not just city people, all people. I expect wildlife management professionals to have a better handle on the issues wildlife face than the general population through better data and more interaction with that data. I included Montana mule deer hunters specifically to point out that...
I know about them, as I live in one of the main areas they come up from. They like having a place to work dogs without the oppressive late summer heat and humidity. Plus there's more public to spread out on (theorerically). I'm sure plenty stay for four, six, eight weeks working dogs before...
If we're adhering to an idea of science-based wildlife mgmt, then to me it's wrong for city goers from Denver to be in charge of wolf reintroduction in the same way it's wrong to let public sentiment in Montana impede mule deer mgmt. Science is supposed to stand between the wildlife and the...
Or the outfitter lobby is too powerful to get 90/10 through w/o a major concession that benefits them.
I just wonder how reg/special division is affected by a switch to 90/5/5.
It's such a matter of perspective. I roll my eyes at Wyoming guys on here *all the time* (even if I ultimately agree with their perspective). But let me hear/see someone from Florida complain about season structure or bag limit for Georgia deer and red lasers start to glow out of my eyes. (It...
Just my 2 cents, seems like the one instance I saw the most NR uproar was over the "big 5" changes a while back. There was genuine vitriol over that. With DEA it seems NR reactions are milder.
Also HT is only one forum, NRs on Rokslide for example seem to be more prone to bitching and less...
Maybe, but I would ask
1) is the level of availability there to allow it to become the next big thing?
2) will people accept it as a substitute for the DIY element that most seem to crave? A lot of folks have come to believe (I think) that it doesn't count if not on public land.
Not an...
I wonder what happens from here.
I have no problem with 90/10, 90/5/5, high price, low price, split draw, etc. I like random odds whenever they're available but beyond that I have grown to be a strict "state's rights" person on this issue, so to speak.
But I wonder with NR tag availability...
If one of those three you mentioned is the one on the south side of Ocala, that's my dad's old stomping grounds. I never knew it was there and still functional until we drove out south of town one day last summer. Pretty cool.
Honestly I just use the wind as I am firmly convinced that's 95% of the battle.
I wash my hunt clothes with scent free soap a few times per season and store them in a bag that isn't used for any other purpose. Also will leave them outside on a breezy day. But that's all the effort I put in...
As someone who is still cool but fading fast, I just want to say to all you guys that nothing is cooler than not giving a chit whether you're seen as cool or not!
I got my wife a dozen red roses from Publix, a sweet card and some Lindor chocolates with strawberry filling.
I told her "I know the rest of this stuff wouldn't count if I didn't throw in the chocolates."
