    Jim Shockey rips Canadian officials after bear attack and deaths of mother/infant.

    GENESIS Chapter 1 Verses 26-28: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27: So God...

    Badlands mule deer

    My source is every genetics book ever published. Google population genetics/genetic diversity and educate yourself. If you have a population of 10000 individuals and a population of 100000 individuals and you remove 15% from each population, which do you think would better preserve genetic...

    Badlands mule deer

    More deer equals a stronger genetic base which translates into a stronger preservation capability of superior traits in both body and antler size. Smaller populations are immensely more susceptible to genetic loss, less capable of recovery from say a harsh winter or disease outbreak such as the...

    Badlands mule deer

    I'd like to see what would happen to the mule deer populations in the badlands if our illustrious game and fish removed the restrictions on mountain lions for say 5 years and let them be hunted like other predators. I would find that VERY interesting.

    Spearing house

    Search "Gator Giggin'" and you should find a thread about a spear shack I built. Take a look and if you have questions let me know. It's OK for 2 people, but DEFINITELY NOT for 4. Two folks can sit side by side at the hole and spear with the heater at the far wall behind you. Any closer and...

    What Shot Size To Use for Ducks Hunting

    Over small water bodies I use the cheapest shells I can find. Most shots are real close so magnum shells aren't needed IMO. Big water and field hunting I use either #2 or BB in 3 inch mag as I can get in geese as well, but also the shots tend to be 30 yards or more in those situations. At...

    Bunghole Class

    When the pellet pusher comes through the pelvic opening the wangdoozle usually comes out with it provided all the surrounding tissue has been severed. Pinch the wangdoozle and pull. The dingleberries usually stay on the one side while the wangdoozle comes out the other. Pinching it prevents...

    Badlands mule deer

    Private or Public land seems to be the hitch pin to finding mature mulies. Most of the guys that I know that hunted private land took mature bucks while the public land guys often settled for 150ish bucks. Lots of hunter pressure on public land starting with stick and string and continuing...

    Processing Your Own Deer

    [/B] Good for you!!! If you don't have a place for them to hunt, give me a call/pm. I got a pretty good place for youngsters just starting out in deer hunting. I'm planning on building an 8X8 little house on stilts this summer. Should be a good winter project to design and gather supplies...

    Processing Your Own Deer

    Just call me Major Obvious. However, it amazes me sometimes how little deer hunters know about the quarry they pursue. Unfortunately, many just shoot deer, gut deer.....poorly, take deer to locker plant, pay locker bill, put venison in freezer, let venison sit for a year in freezer, throw...

    Processing Your Own Deer

    My method isn't even close to this. 1. During the field dressing process, cut around the bunghole instead of through the pelvic bone so I can hang the deer from the pelvis and not use a gambrel. 2. When the deer is hanging from the pelvic bone, I cut the skin along the inside of the hind legs...

    Chips are a bad idea.

    Using deer hunting as a modem of introduction to hunting for a youngster is probably NOT the best option. I started my daughter out with turkey, duck, and goose hunting. Motion and noise were not that big of a deal and birds are a bit more forgiving than deer. I could see the birds from a...

    How do you ice fish?

    Wind and species being chased dictate my methods. Nice days with sun and light wind after perch, no shelter. Wind up to 20 mph and chasing perch, a flip over. Wind over 20 and crappy weather or when I'm after snot rockets means I'm in my permanent.

    Our Ice Fishing Blunders

    Went out on early ice with a pop up 4X8 home made shak with 2 two trucks. Set up and everything was great until the shack moved a bit. When we tried to get out we realized the weight of two trucks pushed the ice down to the point the trucks slid on the ice, right to the door on the one side...

    Safe ice locations for this weekend?

    No such thing as "Safe Ice". However, most smaller lakes seem to have between 4 and 8 inches. Be Safe and check the whole darn way out and back. Unexpected ice baths......SUCK!!!!!!
