Hunting conspiracy theories

[Sytes]

Conspiracy theories... CWD will (or will not)...

 

[BigHornRam]

Wild game can sense when you intend to kill them......or not kill them. My conspiracy, talk me out of it.

 

[Kaitum]

I usually hear a few new theories whenever I go home to visit family for the holidays.

When coyotes started becoming more common around NW PA, it was the state sending turkeys out west in exchange for coyotes.... Seems like a fair trade. Curious what the exchange rate was. Then fisher became more common. Well those were stocked to control turkey numbers as well. I no longer try to dispell the myths, I usually just nod my head and change the subject.

Dad and I know a guy that swears deer hide their sheds by picking them up and dropping them in the brush and says he has saw them do it. Of course the same guy couldn't find a 6-pt elk shed in a mowed lawn.

Get you a HECS suit man! Guaranteed to overcome that aura you’re giving off!

Once a spike always a spike.

Try and convince a 70 plus year man that's not true.

Well we did stock fishers in PA, not to kill turkeys, but good luck trying to prove otherwise lol!

They're ferocious predators but recent scat studies suggest they don't often kill turkeys often at all... but its the government and their agenda that did the study...

Caught this one on my neighbor's driveway last year in a fox set. Released unharmed since fisher season already went out. You could almost smell the turkey on his breath.....

I hear this one every...single...year

I really don't understand this, so they're saying a one year spike at 10 years of age will still be a spike? I'm assuming if this is the case that there are scores of spikes with worn down teeth littering hunters sheds?

Europe is correct,Lost Dutchman Mine does exist,we hunt the area with Sasquatch every year.
True Story!! 〽

The Five mountain lions that were tranquilized and released while still sleepy in Modoc county and a local found them and shot them all. Can't find any story to corroborate this.

That CA F&G transplanted Mule Deer into Mendocino County and that's why the Blacktail genetics are SO good there.

Mortally wounded big game animals won't go uphill.

Elk don't know how many legs a horse has.

Buck Turds clump, does crap pellets. (Have borne this out a couple times when i killed a couple bucks near their bedding areas, prove me wrong)

Yes there is people that believe that spikes will forever be spikes because of genetics.

<Insert elk, deer, or "x"> know when season begins and ends... and during the season, route to some unknown secret safe-haven.

Wait, that's not a conspiracy! That's my tag soup story!

Reloaders are normal people.

[Dinkshooter]

Not a conspiracy theory, but oft repeated falsehood:

“His teeth were worn to the gums.”
“Only had three teeth left.”
“Wouldn’t have survived the winter.”

No picture.

I mean come on, how hard is it?

Walmart even had cashiers at every register. You don’t see that where I live.

You lucked out finding a Walmart with cashiers in Dallas! I live here and that is a rarity!

Well really it was Arlington. The one across from the Cowboys stadium. I was there for a game.
