As someone who used to work in construction management and now works tools - I could see why you would think this. However, it's biased towards management and not the people actually doing the work. On the best job sites, issues are resolved at the lowest levels of the management hierarchy by...
I don't really follow this point. Do you consider the Lacey Act to be totalitarian or necessary to protect a vulnerable resource? How does a ban on the sale of antlers affect a person's ability to get out and shed hunt for all of the reasons you listed in your first post?
As an aside, how...
I can't believe that people are actually defending this sentence. The guy took a man's life, period, end of story. 90 days and a fine that cost less than the elk tag he was trying to fill? GTFO if you think that is justice. What kind of civil settlement do you think the family of the...
I'm surprised that no EE's have brought it up, but if you're going into the Power side of things vs. coding/programming, you can usually find a decent job at a utility. And, I'm pretty sure utilities are everywhere. Around here they pay better than almost any private employer and offer...
If your kid is smart and a hard worker, let him do what he wants and let him take financial responsibility for it. There’s absolutely no problem with hunting/fishing through school. Think about how many college kids party, sit around and watch Netflix, go to football games, etc. You could...
A third option for you to consider is a river trip down either the little pee see or waccamaw rivers. There’s fairly abundant public land in both places although you’ll need onX or some other mapping software to make sure you stay on public. Nothing like the black water.
I feel like an enterprising person could probably get enough other peoples’ info to make it worthwhile to fly out and do this. I’ll be on the lookout for ads in the classifieds next year to provide the service.
Maybe we should all donate to a conservation organization that recruits new hunters, so that there could be more advocates to improve the system that wasn’t designed for amount of hunters currently seeking to utilize the resource?
I got a ‘22 F-250 this year. I was one of those people who swore they’d never buy a new vehicle, but due to some business changes I had to have a truck. I ordered it in late January and got it early May. I’m not really brand loyal, but the fords have a large cabin and it was relatively cheap...
I guess we can agree to disagree. Intentionally prolonging an animal’s suffering for an Instagram post seems about as low as you can get to me. I don’t want to hijack the thread any further but it seems like some people will take up for meateater regardless of what they do.
You can go to his Instagram and read the original post about how he made a poor initial shot then ran it down to get another arrow in it. Then he posted this a few days later where he clearly says he chose to shoot it in the shoulder because it was a rare opportunity to see how the arrow would...
This still isn’t as bad as the meateater guy shooting an elk square in the hindquarter and then intentionally not putting out of its misery on the follow up shot in the bed because “he wanted to see how his arrow would perform.”
I wouldn't worry about it then. As stated above, you already meet the energy requirements, so I wouldn't worry about the expandable requirement. Where exactly in the Big Game Guide did you see that anyways?
