    Poison Ivy

    A weed whacker? Yeah, that likely did it... But definitely learn to ID the vine without the leaves, that gets a lot of whitetail guys messing around in tree stands. Good news is, it's pretty identifiable. If you see a "hairy" looking vine, avoid it. If it's a tree I think I'll hunt in for a...

    Hurricane Ida

    I'm afraid this one may reset the bar. Hope I'm wrong. But it's taking the track that everybody said would have made Katrina a worst-case scenario and is coming ashore stronger. Hope all HTers in that part of the world stay safe!

    Drought for the west

    Good night...I've stared down approaching wall clouds ducking hunting by myself in Mississippi that didn't have that kinda ominousness to em.

    First hand Covid symptoms

    Sore arm after the first shot of Pfizer. Felt like crud, but wouldn't even describe it as "flu-like" for about twelve hours, starting about 10 hours after my second jab. Also had some aches from my armpit running down my side for about 24 hours, which I am told was my lymph nodes reacting to the...

    Petition To Ban Import Of Game

    My thoughts on the petition are that it has been sent to a US Fish and Wildlife Service that does not have a confirmed director, or even a nominee. The acting principle is the former director of Montana's state agency. The last director appointed by a Democrat POTUS and confirmed by the Senate...

    Petition To Ban Import Of Game

    Am I taking crazy pills or was the thread started with a shared link to an article titled: Extremists Petition Biden Admin to Ban All Import, Interstate Transport of Game? If I am, then my apologies. Carry on.

    Petition To Ban Import Of Game

    The word "interstate" appears once in the petition, in a footnote describing the Lacey Act. In fact, the Service is bound by a 2017 DC Circuit decision saying they CAN'T ban the interstate transport of injurious species, thanks to the same folks that brought you the Everglades python explosion...

    First hand Covid symptoms

    I've resorted to telling folks I'm fine if I never hunt with em again if they're that mad at me for preaching the vaccine, but what I really don't want to see is them not hunting with their kids again...

    Ditching the Dip

    Dipped pretty heavy for the ten year stretch between 20 and 30. Was still dipping when I got engaged and she knew better than to try and force a change, but I knew I needed to do something about quitting. Then one Saturday night, I was alone in our apartment in DC and ran outta Skoal and didn't...

    Red tide in Florida

    Curious where you heard that? I'd take it with more than a grain of salt... The water has to get south. Crash course can be found here.

    CA energy issues

    The amount of heads in the sand on these kinda threads while numerous others document the mind-blowing scale of drought and number of fires burning across the West makes my head hurt. We have to build a better mousetrap, not sure which one is the best. But the one we got has, at best, outlived...

    2021 Colorado Draw Results

    Had 4 points, but went in with a party app that had us entering the draw with 3. Unit took 2 points to guarantee a tag last year, but over half of the 1 point apps pulled it as well. Much as everybody huffed and puffed about the creep, I guesstimated we had fifty fifty odds. Pulled our third...

    Offensive, I’m offended

    Some of these deep south boys and gals need go on and tell the one about the moccasin dropping outta the tree into the boat. High water in the spring chases em up into the greenery. Every southern fisherman I know has a story about about cottonmouths dropping out of trees during the crappie...

    Merganser Mount

    Pretty neat mount! Life's too short for crap taxidermy. I'm up to nine on waterfowl and all were done by Todd, Brad, or Shane Smith, except for the first couple I got when I was still in high school.

    TSS vs Lead - Efficacy for Youth Turkey Hunting

    The best turkey hunters I know all shoot TSS. Not because they shoot em at 70 yards or because they don't kill the majority of birds under 30 yards, but because they know that stuff happens and when it does, it helps to have the best. Toms hang up. Toms peer out from behind autumn olive...

    Non-resident Hunting and the North American Model

    Play this one out for me. The vast majority of critters wandering around these United States aren't on public land. The NAM has to consider more than how often I can draw a Type 9 in the Bighorns.

    Non-resident Hunting and the North American Model

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just announced that they're distributing over a billion dollars to states through WSFR via Pittman-Robertson, Dingell-Johnson, and Wallup-Breaux, based on excise taxes collected in 2020. That's up about $120 million from 2019. I don't think that letting other...

    Non-resident Hunting and the North American Model

    Sorta surprised that four pages into a discussion on the future of the NAM, more widespread adoption of legacy funds hasn't come up. Missouri showed everybody how to do it way back when. Course, everybody wants a piece of the pie now, but Minnesota showed us that can still work. Getting a tax...

    Non-resident Hunting and the North American Model

    I appreciate the new thread. First thing's first: when the House of Representatives introduces the Recovering America's Wildlife Act later this spring, maybe this month, call your Representative and politely ask them to cosponsor it. I won't get into all the specifics when the google machine is...

    And the Hits just keep on coming....WY now.

    No, I did. There's enough snark floating through this one without me cutting across your bow, apologies if it seemed I was; was not the intent. Just a reflection on the future of the NA. Shoot, don't thank me. I get paid. Thank you for doing the work (and speaking up for us NRs). I've got a...
