    Dirty, Do you mind if I plagiarize your comment and play it over and over at every Board meeting and other functions?

    Waterfowl choke tubes

    Many years ago we were in the thick of stuff hunting geese. I borrowed some shells from my partner. After a couple of shots I asked if he reloaded these himself. Yep, and they are hot he proudly says. Well shit... Bulged my barrel. Put up a two foot target, then backed up 40 yards. Only six...

    EHD

    Meat processor or do it yourself there is one thing obvious. The animal may not have shown any clinical signs yet but when you pull the hide off you will notice the blood under the second layer of skin is beet red. It doesn't go down into the muscle like an injury. An animals internal body...

    EHD

    It takes 8 hours to 5 days for an animal to die of EHD. If you in the mean time harvest that deer during that time frame it is safe to eat because EHD is exclusive to ruminants. Humans are not affected by eating the meat anymore than they are affected being bitten by a midge.

    Why don’t families get together anymore?

    Our family still meets and greets. Had some liberal nieces who got their noses out of joint over Trumps mean tweets etc. They are happy now with dementia guy in the Oval. Politics and racism can be polarizing topics. I like to poke the bear saying things like, Black is beautiful, and tan is...

    EHD

    West Nile and Zika viruses are mosquito borne and the major funding went that direction. Midge bites are not known YET to make people sick or kill humans YET. If it happens, watch the funding shift. Midge like most things have DNA with several strands of genetic code and single strands of RNA...

    Rooster Time!

    Raining pretty hard right now. Not one vehicle has passed by on this gravel road in an hour. Everyone is thinking the same thing as I. There will be better days.

    EHD

    Culicoides midge are small or nicknamed no-see-ums. NDSU doesn't have the tech to isolate the virus in blood, so samples are being sent to NVSL Ames Iowa. They are not finding new strains but are finding something that delivers a little more horsepower to kill. A frost will kill them and the...

    E2 Elk

    Yes, a taxidermist in New York State took in a head harvested in Wyoming. Caped it and threw the skull in a ravine out back. This happened almost 20 years ago before much awareness of CWD. The taxidermist like most, was a wildlife enthusiast and when a deer showed up later emaciated on his...

    lunkerslayer??

    It's OK. GST rode these guys like a fat farm dog. He went hard. There was much talk of censoring him or voting for the boot. I called GST and told him maybe he should slow down a bit. He said he wanted to be booted because this site was consuming too much time. He doubled down antagonizing...

    Bring out your dead!

    Another thing to consider is when a deer is bitten it can take three to five days to die of EHD. Blue Tongue however can take twenty days for the animal to die. That means the midge load hatch happened almost three weeks before anyone starts finding dead deer. People applying methoprene may...

    No sir that deer is not a tirty pointer but is actually a 57 pointer

    Last December I went pheasant hunting at a preserve. Well shit, now I suppose I am going to be banned from the elitist club.

    There may be over twenty-four different strains of Blue Tongue and ten different strains of EHD. It's kind of like people taking flu shots and the medical profession guessing at which strain is going to attack.

    It's OK Lunk, that is all these guys have is name calling. I am an avid pheasant hunter and mother nature has certainly dealt the population a blow. Out of all the dogs I have had, right now this English Setter is the best. He is getting shorted compared to the rest with few birds around. Last...

    Damn guy, you carry a grudge for a long time. I told you then and will say it again. I supported the app and the app only.

    Yes, it's the old HFH debate again. Some years ago in a room full Of Dick Monson types, the federal guys kept talking about how they need to keep this issue in front of the public. Social change is always about pressure.

    Actually it is a minority of hunters trying to exert their peer pressure. Speaking of peer pressure Dr. Allen, I am not vaccinated.

    Allen claims to know what lies in the dark hearts and minds of millionaires.
