Removing bison and regular fires have changed what little native landscape we have left immensely.

I agree with you, and yes, that makes me a hypocrite because I use chemicals. I'm in the middle of big ag country. It's hard for me to very worked up about my chemical use when I see giant sprayers blanket every every square mile in the spring using multiple modes of action. Then the last 2...

That looks like a beautiful place to hunt! I envy being able to get that far away from modern noise.

They aren't arresting anyone that matters. They'll dangle that carrot in front of us like always but we'll never get a bite. Pretty soon we'll forget what we were chasing before this new carrot started dancing around. I don't think it's any coincidence this stuff comes out now. They are...

Here is one I built about 6 years ago on a narrower trailer. I cantilevered the sides to make room for shooting a bow. It works great.

Whitetail deer are an ancient species. It's fairly ridiculous the technology we use to try and understand their every move. I wish I could bring back the mystery of my youth. I have zero interest in having a drone remove what little mystery remains.

I've seen 2 snappers along the road in the last week. Is there a seasonal movement going on right now?

That's what goes through the roof, keeps it from getting too hot.

I still have it. Pm your address and I'll get it coming your way. Yes it is 3" pipe. I may have some double wall but it's down at the cabin.

I can't help but wonder if all this drone talk will be a mute point someday when everyone has access to a live satellite feed. That's a nightmare that would change everything.

Aren't drones limited to 400' ? Or did that rule go away?
