Thanks. My European farming knowledge limited to Clarksons Farm The over regulation as depicted on that show would make me end up losing my mind.

Well, I can go ahead and tell you that Tele check system is about as truthful as a politicians tax returns.

I actually think you’re onto something. If currencies crash, a bar of gold will be more useless than the traditional bar of soap used in that scenario.

Yeah, I agree the whole gold as a hedge against a crashing currency makes absolutely zero sense to me. I mean, what are you gonna do walk around with a gold bar and barter with the shopkeeper like it’s the 1300s. If our currency crashes the only thing that gold is going to be good for is beating...

So Europeans are able to farm at a mass production level without chemicals? do weeds or insects not grow in Europe?

They never respond when I bring up this topic lol. The reality is ky is one of the many “midwest” states (landscape-wise maybe not truly geographically) where baiting makes zero sense. If you take the state from far west to a good bit better than halfway east it’s an ag ground/wooded tapestry...

Every single state that borders me allows baiting. Some as recently as last year. So it’s impractical to say just go to another state. Rules change from time to time. I’m not sure I’ll have a platform where I can make a difference but I won’t quit trying. I’ll probably lose I know but I feel...

And quail…and hawk numbers are out of control but of course we can’t manag their numbers for some reason that I’m sure makes zero scientific sense

Msft trying to copy unh and get cut in half. Also this- 2009…the financial crisis. Not good company to be in https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/05/layoff-and-hiring-announcements-hit-their-worst-january-levels-since-2009-challenger-says.html

Got it. Was trying to understand the dynamic. Pretty typical it seems unfortunately.

I love these discussion, I appreciate the post! I’m the same I don’t hate anyone on here who baits despite my strong opinions on it. No one will ever convince me to bait but I like learning what motivates others who have differing opinions than mine. If anything maybe I can use that in real...

sorry I want to follow. What is your neighborhood like in terms of hunter? I know the neighbors bait successfully but what are they killing, mature bucks or not?

The draw is pretty close to “magic”. I’m pretty sure you know that too. You’ve even referenced your neighbors success with it. You think they are just heads and shoulders better woodsman that you?? How successful would they be if hey couldn’t bait?

Hmm yeah pretty much they throw a lot of good sense out the window. Now granted I’m sure you can’t smell like a gas station biscuit upwind of the feeder but I think the draw is strong enough to overcome a lot of good sense. I’m pretty sure my 75 year old female neighbor would not have shot a...

But you have a limit right? I mean why are we blackballing thermal hunters? What about guys who live through their kids athletic endeavors all fall and have no weekends to hunt, shouldn’t we give them the summers to get out and have fun? I’m being ridiculous obviously but to say we shouldn’t...

Shooting deer with a thermal at night would be a blast right? I mean people love it for coyotes so surely it would be as good if not better.

I get where you’re coming from and I do somewhat agree that there is a step even harder than a compound bow. But I will say for 99% of shooters, the ethical range of a compound bow on a whitetail deer, not elk, should be sub 30 yards. I know everyone wants to be Cam Haynes and Levi Morgan and...

Because that’s the point of seasons I assumed? It falls to my point, why have a distinction if there’s no inherent difference?

Yeah but you’re reaching. I’m gonna challenge that your kid became proficient enough to ethically shoot a whitetail deer at 40 yards in a day. Could he hit a target, I buy that but I’ve been bow hunting for 30 years and I’ve never attempted a 40 yard shot at a deer. Ive seen 5 year old stack...

My point is the distinction between weapons is what defines seasons. Archery/muzzleloader/rifle (gun). The crossbow is every bit a gun as it is a bow. The similarities with bow begins and ends with the projectile it’s fires somewhat resembling an arrow (ironically it’s not even called an arrow)...
