That would only be the start of it. Listened to a deal about alternate currencies and China wants to do their own. Not only to help keep money within its borders but the currency itself would be controlled in how you spend it. It would be coded so you can spend it on this but not that. They...

This pops up over a video posted above. Never seen this before. Im using Chrome browser so I’m curious if anyone is seeing the same. So I went to YouTube to look at the video and this disclaimer flashes up for one frame. I had to work at pausing it so I could screen shot it. WTH does that...

Brother in law did heavy woven wire around the bottom and a single hot wire out away from the fly pen His pen is mostly scavenged stuff, much smaller than recommended. My batting cage in my shed was bigger.

My brother in law has raised pheasants the last two years. Last winter was really mild, no snow and he did not hunt them. He had some birds around this spring. I should ask him if he ever saw any chicks last spring on the loose. He did pheasants and then quail this summer. We are having a...

Since it’s so rare there must be another step in the deal other than just ingesting. Or some folks have the right gene or whatever. Hope they figure out a cure either way, just sounds terrible.

I had never heard of prions until today. Article said they destroy surgical instruments they suspect are contaminated with. Dayam.

I text with the guy that has permission to hunt the farm next to me. At about 2pm the day before firearm season: “I still have to shoot my new rifle” At about 9am opening day: “I shot at a big one. If I hit him he may have gone onto yours”. Wonder if he sees any correlation between the two...

Had never heard of cjd. Looked at the Mayo article about it. Sounds terrible. Doesn’t sound like they know what causes it but they seem to at least suspect cwd and mad cow as being something to avoid. At least thats the way I read it. I always figure if what I stand to lose is more than I...

Happy Thanksgiving all!

I consider myself a duck hunter first and a deer hunter second but I’m always kind of surprised how oblivious guys who seem to have made an exclusive hobby out of deer hunting have never thought about this.

This is a great point. I got a phone call from an out of state hunter just yesterday. He had sent a letter to my neighbor asking him to hunt and for some reason my neighbor gave him my number. While I’m not looking to allow any hunting we had a pretty nice chat and I found it interesting that...

The airlines website is the best source of info. Lots of people fly with guns, they are used to it, I was surprised how easy it was once I did it. That’s going to be an awesome trip.

The only reason the Bears won that Vikings game is because the Pope is from Chicago.

This is a very true and fair point lol!

Damn French Israeli Gendarmes. They are the worst.
