So we get rid of all the peoples, then what do we do?

Good Lawd, y'all still jawin' bout this $hit!?

So now the standard for legalizing something is going to be, "It can't be anything that could possibly cause two people in a hunting club to argue?" Holy sheep s##t Batman! Please tell me what could pass that standard? What do people in hunting clubs "NOT" fight about?

That's the same thing I was thinking about the "Hillary" thread........

Was there a particular issue that got the ball rolling? Was it the implementation of the 3 buck limit? Or something else? Personally I did not like the reduction in the buck harvest primarily because all the data we had indicated that it was not needed. Secondarily because the cab had 2 recommendations, one from a study group that they put together to get what I felt like was their desired recommendation of some sort of buck limit and they had a second recommendation from the wildlife section of the aldcnr, you know the folks that have been hired and have the responsibility of managing the wildlife of this state, to not make any changes to the buck limit. We know which they approved.
I don’t trust the cab or many in the aldcnr because of the way they did the bucks limit reduction. They had a desired outcome that they wanted, I felt like they created a study group that would make that a recommendation for that desired outcome, then ignored voices that were contrary to what they wanted.
Let me clarify that I am not slamming those that were on the study group just the cab.

I think the main thing that brought the baiting bill up was the ambiguous 100 yard supplemental rule. The hunters were not exactly what was legal, the game wardens had their own interpretations and the judges in many cases had their own views. I understand what my game warden said he was enforcing, 100 + yards and out of sight. I think a lot of hunters were contacting their politicians.

Yep, perfect

I'll also say that this is a VERY Tough subject. Some people want to only kill a big buck. They put money and effort to do that. They may have lots of money, they may not. Some people don't really care the size or age of a deer they kill, they just have fun doing it. Without writing an essay, baiting, I think can make most peoples hunting experience better. Will I bait? No, I'm fortunate enough to hunt family owned crop land. But I don't really have a problem with it. In an interview with a young Ted Nugent he said he was brown bear hunting with Fred Bear one time and they hadn't had any luck. Fred shot one of their pack mules in the head with a colt single action, ate some of it and used the rest for baiting bears. They ended up killing one. Imho, Fred Bear is beyond any of us as far as hunting goes. He utilized his options and did what it took to make his hunts enjoyable.

That's the same thing i was thinking about the "Throw n Mow" thread

If only Stephen Hawking could've figured out the definition of "area" for baiting/feeding and how that would work with Throw 'n Mow while improving antler genetics, we'd be good.

Boom! Exactly. Talk about a rambling wreck.

you still talkin bout this Matt????

Nah. I left CNC's little charade long time ago. Just was a fun poke there.

So what your saying is we should use the same standards on private and leased land, as those of public land?if you're a public land hunter it's a non-factor anyways. It ain't gonna make a difference either way.

doubt it. my point is, of course the people who have an advantage now. Dont wont folks baiting. Are you a public land hunter?[/quote]

From the late 1970's til 3 years ago I hunted public land. Does that make me a public land hunter? Or, maybe that gives me a perspective to see both sides of the public land and private land hunting fence. My point is the private land hunters have better hunting opportunities, be it better land, less competition, less pressure, better control of what happens on the property than the public land hunter and yet that is not good enough, easy enough, etc, etc, etc. No need to go any further, it's all about "fun" (fun meaning got to see and kill a deer every time one goes and spends their precious time in the field).[/quote]

Apparently it's hard to catch the point that private/leased land hunters have it better than the public land hunters. And yet it's not good enough. And I will leave it with that.

Aught to change your name to Ol Stick In Tha Mud
