it couldnt have been coyotes, it must have been wolves, because they are a kazillion times smarter than coyotes,deer,bear,pigs, dogs and humans. folks these guys gotta eat, and they will eat. it doesnt matter to them if its your cat,dog or road kill, or trash. put a price on their heads and the population will drop. i promise especially in todays economy and jobless rates. jason

very sorry about your loss, my thoughts are with you and your family. jason

looks like a great time joe, glad you got into some fish, it's always fun to catch new and exotic species. Did your body go into shock when you arrived home to the cold and snow? jason

ok folks, im going to try to sum up the season of deer hunting in southern ohio. First of all it has been THE best season for me since my early days of hunting. Although i had less time in the woods than what i would have liked, many whitetails fell this year from my farm(200 acres}. Starting off the year was a friends son who came out to hunt with his father and friend, he hit it big with a 4 pt for his first archery kill, and better was he was going to have surgery for a torn tendon from a football injury the next week and was going to be done for the rest of the deer season. It started in early bow season for me, my first year of hunting with only a compound bow. It happened in october with my first compound kill, bout a 20 yard shot on a small doe. it was a spine shot and instant drop. .Next up was Todd, my friend that hunts and his son had taken a small buck. He was lucky enough to harvest a great 150 class deer with a bow during our early rut. I followed that up with 2 more gun kills, both with my traditions muzzleloader {i love that gun} just doe's, but man they eat good. i also made friends with the fella who owns the local tackle and hunting store this year and arranged a deal with him to supply mineral supplements and some ladder stands on my property for some hunting rights, and he ended up bagging 4 doe's this season, and his wife missed a dandy buck with a crossbow. another local took a 14 pt off our property that hasnt been scored yet but should hit th 160 range, sorrry no pics yet, but is a heck of a deer. the final chapter is my stepson,that missed a nice sweet 120 class buck, during our youth season,he is 8 years old and this is his first season of actually hunting. after the first miss i was determined to get him on another deer, i t happened during the first day of shot gun season, a doe and 2 fawns came through, he lined out with his 410 after several seconds he shot, another miss, i was as discouraged as he was, then after discussing it, he said that he couldnt see the deer in his scope, which was a cross hair type, so we switched it to a ret dot. all is fine, my buddy that owns the the hunting and fishing shop sells us one at cost and i try to sight it in,and the firing chamber brakes on his old h&r. damn! ok so this season is a wash,well i find a deal on Archery Talk for a cross bow for cheap, and buy it for him, 150 lb horton and we hit it hard for a couple evenings, not one deer showed itself, so we decide to go back and on his last evening to hunt, we hit a stand that phil{store owner} had put in and sure enough a button buck and large doe comes through and ethan makes a great lower lung shot and drops him. As you all can guess i couldnt be prouder, this was is last chance to hunt, because he had to go to his dads, this weekend, and was such a special time for the two of us. It made my season way worth while, the family wont go hungry for many years now that i have another hunter on board. sorry for the long read, but it was a special year of hunting for me. total for my farm, 3 bucks, 14pt,10pt,4pt 1 button buck 7 doe's jason

i say take out the old vigilante justice system, cant prove it, pay the price, what ever the locals see fit. there is zero excuse for not having a fishing permit. i head your all's way every year and dang certain i know all the limits and restrictions before i get there as well as any liscence that is required. Better yet pay the co's a portion of what they collect, no innocent person would be fined? As well as paying for their services and the govt getting their share. jason

that was the first thing that popped into my mind as well believe it or not. lol jason

make sure you take in the water fountain show at the bellagio hotel. the one and only time i have been to vegas, i came home with about 1800 usd more than i took, all on slots playing 1 $ machines at 3$ a pop.have fun and good luck jason

guys, all i can think is you all are thinking with the wrong head, yeah she might be a pretty blonde, but i have seen several of those in the great north,especially temagami (wow} i just cant believe that you all could be infatuated with someone who stands for everything you all disagree with. just blows my mind. jason

yeah and so is pamela anderson, but we all know how she thinks as well, they can all eat sprouts and tofu till there sick, just leave me alone to make my own choices. jason

i have a nissan xterra and couldnt be happier with it, not sure about the pathfinder, but they are similar. nice pike too by the way. jason

my neck may be red, but i am educated and try to pay attention to things that affect me and my way of life. the hsus is nothing more than a group of wackos just like p3ta. they are from the same mold, and i have nothing to do with fans of either one. research it for yourself and see, or set back untill your not allowed to fish,hunt or eat meat. jason

heres some trash for ya Carrie swindled by HSUS I used to be a fan until Carrie announced her support of H$U$. HSUS wants to end all animal ownership and is heavily influenced by P3TA. I will no longer buy anything of Carries or support her music. Despite the words “humane society” on its letterhead, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is not affiliated with your local animal shelter. Despite the omnipresent dogs and cats in its fundraising materials, it’s not an organization that runs spay/neuter programs or takes in stray, neglected, and abused pets. And despite the common image of animal protection agencies as cash-strapped organizations dedicated to animal welfare, HSUS has become the wealthiest animal rights organization on earth. HSUS is big, rich, and powerful, a “humane society” in name only. And while most local animal shelters are under-funded and unsung, HSUS has accumulated $113 million in assets and built a recognizable brand by capitalizing on the confusion its very name provokes. This misdirection results in an irony of which most animal lovers are unaware: HSUS raises enough money to finance animal shelters in every single state, with money to spare, yet it doesn’t operate a single one anywhere. Instead, HSUS spends millions on programs that seek to economically cripple meat and dairy producers; eliminate the use of animals in biomedical research labs; phase out pet breeding, zoos, and circus animal acts; and demonize hunters as crazed lunatics. HSUS spends $2 million each year on travel expenses alone, just keeping its multi-national agenda going. HSUS president Wayne Pacelle described some of his goals in 2004 for The Washington Post: “We will see the end of wild animals in circus acts … [and we’re] phasing out animals used in research. Hunting? I think you will see a steady decline in numbers.” More recently, in a June 2005 interview, Pacelle told Satya magazine that HSUS is working on “a guide to vegetarian eating, to really make the case for it.” A strict vegan himself, Pacelle added: “Reducing meat consumption can be a tremendous benefit to animals.” Targeting Meat and Dairy Domestic Deception It takes tens of millions of dollars to run campaigns against so many domestic targets, and HSUS consistently misleads Americans with its fundraising efforts by hinting that it’s a “humane society” in the more conventional sense of the term. Buried deep within HSUS’s website is a disclaimer noting that the group “is not affiliated with, nor is it a parent organization for, local humane societies, animal shelters, or animal care and control agencies. These are independent organizations … HSUS does not operate or have direct control over any animal shelter.” “Our mission is to encourage adoption in your neighborhood and throughout the country,” reads another HSUS fundraising appeal. “Even though local shelters are trying their best to save lives, they are simply overwhelmed.” That last sentence, at least, is true. But don’t count on the multi-million-dollar conglomerate HSUS to do anything about it. HSUS doesn’t operate a single animal shelter and has no hands-on contact with stray or surplus animals. In 1995 the Washington (DC) Humane Society almost closed its animal shelter due to a budget shortfall. HSUS, which is also based in Washington, DC, ultimately withdrew an offer to build and operate a DC shelter, at its own expense, to serve as a national model. In exchange for running the shelter, HSUS wanted three to five acres of city land and tax-exempt status for all its real estate holdings in the District of Columbia. The DC government offered a long-term lease, but that wasn’t good enough. HSUS refused to proceed unless it would “own absolutely” the land. The district declined, and what might have become the only HSUS-funded animal shelter never materialized. So what does HSUS do with the millions it raises using the furry faces of Fido and Fluffy? In 2002, the multi-million-dollar conglomerate gave less than $150,000 to hands-on humane societies and animal shelters. Worse, HSUS employees have complained to the press that their organization wastes its resources on fundraising expenses and high salaries for its chief executives. Robert Baker, an HSUS consultant and former chief investigator, told U.S. News & World Report: “The Humane Society should be worried about protecting animals from cruelty. It’s not doing that. The place is all about power and money.” Influencing Communities HSUS doesn’t save flesh-and-blood animals the way local “humane societies” do, but it does lobby heavily to change the laws of communities across the country. “HSUS was the financial clout that rammed Initiative 713, the anti-trapping measure, down our throats,” reports Rich Landers of the Spokane (WA) Spokesman-Review. “I pleaded [with Wayne Pacelle, then HSUS’s government affairs VP] at least four times for examples of HSUS commitment in Washington [state] other than introducing costly anti-hunting and anti-wildlife management initiatives. He had no immediate answer but promised to send me the list of good things HSUS does in this state. That was six months ago, and I presume Pacelle is still searching.” Like other national animal-rights groups, HSUS has learned that pouring huge sums of money into ballot initiative campaigns can give it results normal public relations and lobbying work never could. Along with other heavy hitters like the Fund for Animals and Farm Sanctuary, HSUS scored a big victory in Florida in 2002 when a ballot initiative passed that gave constitutional rights to pregnant pigs. HSUS donated at least $50,000 to the Florida PAC that managed the campaign. And HSUS won’t stop at initiatives aimed at livestock farmers and trappers. At the 1996 HSUS annual meeting, Wayne Pacelle announced that the ballot initiative would be used for all manner of legislation in the future, including “companion animal issues and laboratory animal issues.” Pacelle has personally been involved in at least 22 such campaigns, 17 of which HSUS scored as victories. These operations, he said, “pay dividends and serve as a training ground for activists.” ‹ Correspondence Calendar?? ›Login or register to post comments

not harsh just facts, check out what she stands for. jason

i could care less if she wakes up in the morning, she is a tree hugging P3TA loving, hypocrite. she is a fraud, making her millions off of Country music while supporting the hsus which is anti agriculture,anti rodeo, anti hunting,anti fishing. i change the station on the radio if her song comes on and could care less how good looking she is on the outside, she is ugly in her ways. jason

tb, you can still recieve qualifying points for your bench drivers and can switch up till a few minutes before the race. ie.... your pick is kyle busch and you have jimmie johnson on the bench, and then you hear kyle justed started his period that morning and is feeling bloated and cramping you can just switch to jimmie. . i hope this helps, glad to have you in the pool this year. after the deadline you can see who everyone else picks to by the way. jason

hope ya have a good time down there, look into swiping some peel and eat shrimp from the buffet or some calamari from the grocery store if your out and about, this has always worked for me. good luck and be safe. jason

im gonna go with wolves, a poacher would have probably took such a nice rack with them as well. jason
