Oak you being from Co know first hand that Cdow is not going to get off their arses and do anything to help hunting. I've hunted Colorado all my life and they are the least helpful bunch I know of. All they seem to be interested in is making money off licenses to pay the salaries of the...
Some good points MD4M. WH now we go throwing around that "welfare" word again concerning something that you just don't like period. I can't see what it really means here.
I've heard of paoching cases and illegal hunting cases where the offender has to pay replacement cost for the elak they...
Oak, only gave TB and Bruc testing as examples of how far breeders go to assure the health of their herds. Being an elk breeder is no inexpensive deal so most breeders go to greqt lengths to protect their business. I have no problem with breeders paying their own way for testing, fencing etc...
Oak, it is obvious that you have no first hand knowledge of how an elk farm works. It cost thousands of dollars a year for a farmer of any size to test for brucellosis[I had the first certified free herd in the state[, to TB test, [ I had the first TB certified free herd in the state], and to...
Glad my elk herd is not in Coloraqdo in that 5%-14% area. Hundreds of private herd animals have been destroyed over a single infected animal and tests revealed no other infected animal in the herd. Elk farmers have about 100% submitted to voluntary monitoring programs, which are at great cost to...
Del I only live a short distance from Abilene as you know. For only $10k I'll pull the boat to El Paso [ THAT'S HOW BAD I HATE GOING TO EL PASO] hehehehe Really wish I could help, but next few week ends are taken, plus there's fishing in between. Bob
Howdy Del. Sorry missed you post for couple days, but I just check in and browse every once in a while. Connie and I are going to Lubbock the 14th thru the 16th. BJ is graduating From Texas Tech with her masters, so I guess ol dad better be there. Is that the time you're talking about??Next...
I had an interesting pair that I sold just this week. A Winchester model 73 in 44-40 and a Colt SAA 5 1/2" in 44-40 with carved ivory grips. They were both documented by letters from the winchester museum and by Colt. Both made in 1907 and both sent to a man in Durango Mexico. I guess the real...
Does anyone else find it amazing that the government can track a cow born three years ago in Canada to the very stall where she sleeps in the state Washington??They can also seem to be able to track all her calves to their stalls.
BUT they can't seem to locate some 11 million illegal aliens...
The 9-11 Commission = a total waste of OUR money. It's purely a political move in an election year. That millions of dollars could be put to better use, like controlling our boarders. Bob
You could put a couple potbellied pigs back there and you wouldn't have to worry about having grass or flowers. PLUS you'd have a couple of great archery tqargets. Bob
Ain't it a wonderful day!! The sun is shining, bout 75 degrees, the bluebonnetts are blooming, the oak trees are putting on their "sunday clothes, the turkeys are strutting, and the SS checks come in regularly. Have a birthday in a couple days, and at my age you're just glad to wake up every...
Forecast is for 80 degrees this weekend, the river is running clear and full, and Ol Bob has a tank full of perch and gold fish. WATCH OUT MR YELLOWCATFISH!!! Bob has all him lines ready and his hooks sharp. Just for novelty the crappie should be biting too.
How many square feet of facilities in ALL schools is alloted to class rooms and how much is allotted to atheletics??How much are coaches paid in relation to classroom teachers? In no school from grade school level to college level do the atheletics departments pay their way. Are we trying to...
