The last anti I had to deal with was at a coffee place and I was in camo. The individual called me a murderer and a coward. I asked them what makes them think I don't love the animals I pursue. They said "How can someone love an animal and then kill it?" I asked them to go to NDA and look up...
I'd reel in the poles and train your dock dog to jump in boats, get into the livewell, retrieve fish and take them to a secluded bucket of ice out of view from the boat ramp. (Grin)
Yikes am I in an EVIL mood today. Time to go muddin' and get this crap outta my system. Later Fellas!!!
I haven't had to resort to boat bouncing jigs in quite a few years, but if the verbal prompting doesn't do the trick and I have to, I usually upsize my jig a couple notches and aim for the motor cover. It makes such a nice "Thunk" when a jig hits it and it's out of the way enough to keep from...
This will get you an earfull from me. My tolerance for this has pretty much VANISHED!!! I've learned that a continuous barrage of questions regarding their parents, their upbringing, their fish finding ability, legal issues, rudeness, lack of any kind of thought process, bouncing jigs off...
I change every two to three years. Casting on the Sheyenne really seems to make the stuff fray really fast and in those early or late outings the "Line Fuzz" really holds water and when it freezes it really reduces the entertainment value of an outing. Also, the addition of the extra water...
Snows a plenty flying around VC yesterday. They sure can create a ruckus with their calls. Going all which a way so I can't say they are migrating north or south. I'd have to agree with Kurtr and have them cited for flying under the influence. (Grin)
WAY TO GO RAIDER!! You just jinxed us into getting a March blizzard!!!!! Old man winter LOVES to wait and lull everyone into thinking spring is here and then WHAMO, 2 feet of white and another months worth of sessions at the therapist.
Got snows in Valley City. Saw two separate bunches of about 100-200. Lots of Canada's on the move as well. Every time I see a flock of specks roll over, I just want to grab the gun. Have never even SEEN one while in the blind, but come spring their all over the place. :mad:
For some reason, large antlers of any species really, turns normally courteous, polite, considerate people into greedy, possessive, arrogant, self centered jerks bent on acquiring those large antlers for themselves. Game wardens and other law enforcement folks are by no means immune to this...
BOTH!! I'm going to break out the long rods and try muddin' a bit and then I plan on chasing pike with tip ups if that doesn't pan out. It's good to have options. (Grin)
All my expenses were covered by what I got for my fur so I'm going to call that a WIN for this year. I think if I took my fur check and figured out my hourly wage, I think I made about 17 cents an hour after expenses. LOL!! Still going to do it again next year. Got 15 this year on all NEW NEW...
Not a dumb question at all. It depends on where they are restrained. If it's around the neck I can control the head by basically reeling it in until I can grab the fox around the neck and hold it down so I can get at the snare. If they are flank caught, which is usually around the waist, but...
I don't have a particular love for foxes, but there aren't that many around my area. If I start to catch equal numbers of foxes and coyotes, I'm sure a few will end up in my fur shed. That and if the landowner wants me to take the foxes as well as the coyotes. The cool thing about foxes is I...
I'd gladly sacrifice a few coyotes, but I'd have to catch'em first. (Grin) Guess you have more eagles as well as coyotes. I've just had coyotes (or dogs) chew up my coyotes and I've only seen a few eagles in my area, so this would be a novelty for me.
I can't argue that white tail deer numbers are up or down anywhere in the state as there is almost zero data to support for or against either position. For that matter neither can you. The NDGF hasn't done a survey for white tails in many years as I said so anything YOU OR I say would be...
I like eagles a bit more now. Didn't think there were THAT many skunks out in my area to be battin' a 1000 on stink, but I'm learning new stuff on the line every day. Can't say as if I've been around a fox that didn't have skunk perfume so I wouldn't know what was normal and what wasn't...
Wasn't talking to you CH in that post. The extra loss was for that year only and that is only hypothetical and not fact, but is useful to illustrate the potential impact of one lion on deer populations with respect to tag numbers. I thought you were smart enough to pick up on that. However...
