How many is "scores", 10, 20, 30????
Just curious. I see "scores" of "grill kills" on the highway between here and town everyweek. Everything from turkeys to buzzards. Bob

Connie and I are going to Vegas August 5-8. You guys could front me the $10k and I could check this thing out and see if it's something the rest of you might want to do.Of course I might need a little extra to cover other expenses. I could make a video and send you just for you to see if it's...
Subject: Kinda long, but good reading....... and sensible! Too bad this speech wasn't delivered to the freshman class.....so they could marinate in it's words during their undergraduate years...... Personal opinion, of course.

Back to buffalo. Got a real question, don'[t really know the answer but someone here might. Aren't buffalo in considerable numbers far more devastating to the streams and the range than cattle?? I realize that in the "olden days" there were millions and today there are thousands, but then they...
DS you'll be back faily close to me now. I get in lotsa Louisiana hunters around here that have had leases here for many years.A big batch from Shreveport. Also lots from east Texas and the houston area. Good luck on the moving. Moving is not one of my favorite things. Ol Bob
Howdy Marlands, most things get "screwed up" when uncle sugar gets involved and agriculture is no exception, right?? Nickel slots, hrumph!!! Hehehe. Ol Bob
Mark, I'm missed that entre-manure bit while ago. Could say am full o chit once in a while, hehehe
I've seen quite a few guys that have been handed farms and ranches from their folks, and they truly lived high and pissed them off. Some of the "windshield farmers and ranchers do have a...
Mark you have to understand that farming and ranching is as much a way of life as it is a business. My oldest son is a farmer and that is ALL he's ever wanted to do since he was a little kid. He farms some 2000 acres of irrigated cotton with just one hired hand. A pretty big job. He called me...
I don't understand where all these "textbook geniuses" get the ideas that being a rancher or even their so called "welfare rancher" is an automatic way of making a zillion dollars. Buzz said I didn't seem to have an idea about economics nor profit margin, etc. , well check out this not too...
Yep had it figured you worked for uncle sugar. Ain't never been no hand outs or subsidies taken here, just pay taxes so you can draw your wages. In the gun business ol uncle is breathing down your neck all the time requiring tons of bs paperwork. He never yet paid me 'not to sell guns or...
yep Buzz, do understand economics , have owned 10 retail business[ all succesful] plus have been am [of sorts] a rancher.Why do you guys begrudge a fellow for trying to make a living and turning a profit??????????Do understand govmint and private leases. Also on private leases do know that they...
Mr Buzzard, do you have any idea of what kind of capital investment a rancher has that is at risk whether he private leases or BLM leases. It doesnt vary much in either case. The main money is in stock and equipment. Do you have any of your own capital investment at risk in your job or...
That's a GOOD buy fellars. Pure dist whole sale for the gun is $736.80 and retail at bout a grand,plus he's throwing in dies and brass. Sure beats what you could buy it at mart mart!! Bob

Hell , lets just shut all them lousy ranchers down!!Maybe then these guys would enjoy paying $$20-$30 per pound for their beef! Or better yet maybe we could import more of that Argentine beef and send more of our money to our "friends" down there. Or even better yet maybe we could import them...
You didnt put the one on here that Michele sent me with your hands up surrendering to the bear.. Bob

Now here comes an old game ranchers 2 cents.The key word in that statement was :POTENTIALLY".Who determined they were potentially sick?? Did they test any to see if they tested positive???????????Likely not!Inocent until guilty?? If this farmer did actually "turn out" his elk, he was certainaly...
