Another big part of the CWD issue, many people think if the "experts" say it, it's true. There have been so many mistakes and falsehoods spread then retracted.

Yea, Mtyhunter is right, if hogs were my number 1 target, I wouldn't bother with a .223. We had a hog shake one off a couple weeks ago. Friend had never shot one, he shoots it in the head and it goes down instantly. He tries to get on one of the others in the bunch, but they were gone. I...

Besides the NDA, how many other organizations has the MDC paid to agree with its position on CWD? Why aren't they testing roadkill deer? It can't be the money if they have money to pay NDA, right? If the MDC has paid NDA $500,000, how many CWD tests could that amount pay for?

I'm sure you mean well, but many of the above talking points are nothing more than a guess. "Change is hard but necessary," "Significant steps have been made in understanding how to provoke an immune response, bla bla bla," need to "collectively re-think our relationship with deer." Does...

My thoughts exactly. How many times have humans, usually the government, thought they knew better than mother nature and in the end figured out their actions only made the situation worse. Sometimes these scenarios can't be undone. Here in Florida they decided to straighten out the Kissimmee...

Now it's coming out that MDC is paying tax payers dollars to the National Deer Association to help propagate the CWD mission. If you have to pay them for your support (Over $100K) what did they think about your message before the payday. If it was all on the up-and-up, wouldn't NDA be jumping...

Our blinds are as good as they get. I wouldn't trade ours for any mass produced blinds. That being said, nothing is as good as sitting in a tree to me. I enjoy 360 degrees of clear view, being able to hear the crunching of leaves when a deer is under you the wind in your face, all of it...

Way to go! I retired as Capt. of a Sheriff's Department. Started on a small City Department in 8/1991. Went to the SD in 6/96, retired 1/15/2024. Much like you I did it all on the street. Passed up opportunities to go to Detectives, etc. Was on SWAT 20 plus years, retired the highest...

My .338ARC upper with 10.5" barrel just came in. Supressor is ordered. Just waiting on ATF.

It's best when applied to actively growing smaller grass early in the growing season.

I don't look at them a nuisance hogs. I fill the freezer with venison with my bow usually. I winter in FL after deer season and enjoy killing hogs. I've already butchered 7 this winter. Tough to get them in the daylight, so a rifle with thermal is best. I run a thermal on a .308, but would...

Looking at an AR in 338 ARC, possibly a SBR. Going to suppress it for hog hunting.

I am looking for a short to mid-range pig rifle. AR platform. Would like to be able to shoot sub-sonic and suppressed, also would prefer a fairly short barrel. My gun expert buddy suggested a .338 ARC. I have never even heard of that cartridge, I rarely hunt with anything other than a bow...

I am in FL and am not near my GP drill notebook, but I'm thinking around 3#/ac.

Not necessarily. Tennessee vs. Garner.....
