Sorry bud. Forgot that lawyers have no sense of humor!

HAHAHAHA. You don't sugar coat anything, Doe. It's great.

I think you would be better off with a .22, Squirrels are tough critters.

And you're a lawyer, so can't you find someone to sue over your equipment malfunctioning?

Let us know how it goes. You going out just with bow for turkey this spring?

Not going to make it. Looks like I'll be plowing or salting tomorrow. If I'm not working, I have a funeral for my grlfriend's friend.

Figure since we're talking about fair chase today, only 18 days and a wake - up until I leave. Can't wait.

I'm not defending the stuff in the video. It was sick.

That's frustrating. I know my bow isn't set up perfectly, but it shoots really well. Were you accurate before you started adjusting stuff?

On a side note, this just reinforces my dislike for Jimmy Houston, and other TV outdoor hosts. I don't like any of them, and I think that in general, they do us harm as a group. I love how they all act like such experts, while they have access to such exclusive / expensive hunts & areas. Put any of them out with any of us, on the public land, and small parcels that most of us hunt. I highly doubt they would be killing their 150" bucks in that case.

It was for a boar. The area was 300 acres. I have not hunted enough of these places to be able to say what is typical, but there is footage from only 1 operation, not enough to say that this kind of abomination is typical. The guy in the video obviously had an objective, to end ALL high fence hunting. It was the most disgusting, upsetting footage he could find, intended to get other sportsman fired up and to get them to gut react & condemn all high fence hunting. While I can't be sure what is typical of most operations, you can't assume that it's typical for high fence operations to be run as unethically as the one in the film. No sportsmen would condone hunting drugged animals, or animals trapped in a 3 acre pen.

I have to agree with 4seasons. It's not fair to condemn all high fence hunting because of one bad operation. This video is disgusting, but I think it would be disgusting to many high fence operators, too. I have hunted high fence before, it was a real hunt as far as I was concerned. I will do it again, too. I'm not fat or lazy, I hunt free ranging game all year, and I have a good set of hunting skills. If it's done right, I bet you could blindfold a hunter, bring him into a high fence ranch, then take the blinfold off. On a good operation, the hunter would probably not know he was even behind a fence. I know my opinion won't be popular, but oh well.

Nice looking dogs. Any problems at the border? Or with their gun laws up there?

Foghorn who?

Ridiculous. Isn't New Hampshire's motto "Live free or die"? Doesn't seem very accurate. More like "Live in fear, and don't defend yourself"

I did it 3 years in a row. Killed 2 and missed 1. I always hunted the first week, less pressured bears, and more of them. My friend was an outfitter, but he passed away. The new owners of the camp seem to do a nice job, but I've not met them. It's the Driftwood lodge in Shin Pond, ME. 207-528-2936

Cool, the beard looks nice hanging under there. It's a real thick beard too.

LOL. I'm lucky, I'm slowly converting my girlfriend to a sportsman. She used to be a vegetarian / anti, so I'm pretty excited.

Ouch!

Sent. Thanks 4 the heads up.

Thanks. I got my tickets today. They sold 600 so far, and may print more.

Congrats. Pictures?

There's a couple of guys on here who are finding them. There's a few threads about it. Wooly is our reigning forum shed champion.

I start it out in bacon grease, real hot, then back it down and simmer it in cider for awhile. It's good. It does pop a little, but I used to be so drunk by the time I cooked it that I didn't care. Now that I quit boozing, I stand back a little.
