I don’t think DOW is a slam dunk. Chemicals business is getting hammered and that’s about all they got… and I haven’t seen a prediction of when the end of the pain will be.

If the technology improves and the barrier to entry becomes lower, turkeys will be different. Mark my words.

Make a belt or hat band or something out of it. For the first time in my life, I let a timber rattler go unscathed just the other day. They’re getting hard to come by. Cottonmouths get 9mm FMJs sent their way with extreme prejudice, however.

We will just have to disagree on the relevance of that analogy. I have no interest in swaying your opinion.

Again, it is shortsighted to make this a food plot thing. What’s more damaging to the landscape: responsibly used chemicals or unchecked proliferation of exotics and invasive monocultures? This one seems pretty easy to me.

Night hunting was and will be illegal and socially unacceptable.

It crystallized a little bit for me recently when I had this realization. What’s hunting gonna be like when thermal drones are $200? There may not be a turkey left in MS.

Wait. What did I miss?

Not to nit-pick, but I’m not spraying “weeds” because I mind them. I’m spraying them because deer and turkeys mind them in their unchecked state. Frankly I think it flies under the radar just how much our landscape has changed due to insufficient give-a-damn about controlling invasives.

No it’s not possible. Too many mistakes already made that managers are trying to overcome. Due to exotics, I’d contend that NOT using chemicals is mismanagement, if your objective is to optimize deer, turkey, and quail habitat in the Deep South. Without exotics, I think you could probably...

Bumping this because you guys are saints for sharing this! For some color: Sitka gear is a uniform for coonass deer hunters in December and January. SoBs down here think they need arctic gear when it drops below 40. With that said, the diagonal zipper and muff pockets they had on a couple of...

I actually do not kill rattlers or copperheads any more; I think the pigs have just about wiped them out in my area. Now I will go Dirty Harry on a cottonmouth… and did a week ago.

Just got a E5S for less than $30 before tax. Amazon has them for $35 with an additional 20% off coupon. Coupon only works for 1.

That’s the cleanest logging site I’ve seen.

I’ve been hesitant to post that here. It is an excellent episode indeed!
