DS,
Hey bud, don't get too carried away with this. I'm not trying to start a frigin movement for craps sake. And I'm surely not trying to kill the old bird.
Do you really feel that just because somebody passes some written test, they should be given free reign in the woods to fling sticks or...
ElkhntinMD,
Glad to see it and it is obvious you've weeded out some of the idiots. DS, I'm not trying to take away anything from anybody that can hunt ethically. I don't claim to have all the answers as to how something like this could or should be implimented.
Maybe I'll feel different...
I'll just make one more comment and then I've got to get my kid to wrestling.
There would be, or could be, issues or draw backs to any kind of testing. No, I don't think any test should be at moving targets. We teach newbies and young to stay away from moving shots. On paying for it, maybe...
JB,
I know what you're talking about and will not even attempt to say that this type of testing will make a person ready for all hunting situations. What it does is makes everybody that wants to hunt at least have a frigin clue. I'd like to see a tougher test myself. Your example of doing a...
Calihunter,
I'll say this one more time. My CONCERNS are that the controls measures will not be kept in place to keep from fugin up the wild elk population. We're supposed to count on the honest business practices of these people? We've already seen cases that scare me a bit. That's where...
Moosie,
I brought this up and spoke to two F&G commissioners about it. Both of those guys said they'd be in favor of it because it would show that we're willing to police ourselves a bit.
When I brought it up I used an example of PASSING VS NOT PASSING. My example was to throw 5 arrows at a...
1-Pointer,
I read the article and happen to agree with the comments in it. I brought this topic up before on another site, with regards to bowhunting, and had differing responses. Most seemed to like the idea but there were a few that used the "I can't hit paper, but watch out if you're a...
Moosie,
I don't really care if some schmuck wants to go behind a fence to kill a big fat bull elk. Nothing personal Moosie and I'm not saying you're a fat ass.
My problem with them is the fear that the controls will not be there like they should be, and the repercussions.
I tried my best to provide you people the true results of the "Bullhound knows it all" poll. My polls have clearly shown that we don't want the wolves yet nobody will listen to me.
Danr & calihunter,
I kind of enjoyed Greenhorn's analagy. Sorry, I kant reed fast enuf or think fast enuf to cum up with such witty remrks. Besides, ifn I waste to much time learning my a,b,c's I aint got time to beat the wife.
On a serious note........Oh hell, I guess we're going to have...
Danr & Calihunter,
Just one Dumbass country boy here that has absolutely no knowledge about nothin. Got my head in the sand soes I can't see nothing. Well, ceptin the part about the courts ruling that I143 is as legal as it gets and, by the way, doesn't infringe upon any "humans" right...
Well well well......... I can put the poll issue to bed right now.
We had a statement meeting this morning at 6:00 A.M. Prior to the meeting starting I decided to conduct the very official Bullhound Knows It All Poll. I asked all in attendance (ten) if they supported the wolf reintroduction...
I added a bunch of units up north when I filled out the proposal questionaire.
I discussed the idea of retrieval only last year at some length with Clower and Irby. Make it clear that you can retrieve game with your ATV but cannot have it off of major roads to hunt. You don't need your...
Dan,
uuuugghhhhhhhh............
I like you alot better when you agree with me
by the way...........I don't think I'll be asking questions of you or Ithica in my next poll
Ithica,
As far as your statement that 50% of people in Idaho wanted the wolf reintroduced, I call BS! Do your own poll. Talk to as many people as you can. Ask the question directly. I know that when I do this, I can't find one in ten that thinks the wolf should have been reintroduced...
Dan,
Maybe you're right. Maybe I presume too much. I'm going by what I see for myself, and hear from other people here that are in the woods alot and spend their elk season in Wilderness areas in the Northwest. What I see and hear tells me that there are more wolves out there now than any...
Ithica,
I just read the article you provided a link to. It's pretty obvious that the Richert character is all for the wolf and probably doesn't see any detrimental impact coming due to the reintroduction.
I'd like to ask you, Ithica, if you could give me your opinion. Should the wolves have...
Ithica,
Please fill me in on all the changes in the plan. I didn't mean to avoid any questions. I do not know exactly what the population of Mountain Lions happens to be at this time. Maybe you could enlighten me? I do know that our state is trying to address the cat issue and bring the...
By the way. I said earlier that when you see sign, there are wolf around. When you see wolves, there are alot around. I saw a total of 6 wolves on two differrent ocasions last year. I wasn't trying to find them. There are about 18 confirmed packs as of last March. For those of you that...
