Culvercreek hunt club

what I program it to or what my wife and daughter keep bumping it up to...lol 66 occupied 60 at night and when not home Think i need a lock box for the thermostat

Gotta agree with BigGame on this. If I could only have one rifle it would be a bolt action .30-06. can shoot light bullets and varmit hunt....great for Whitetail with all the range you would ever need in the North Eastern woods. Can even use heavier bullets and take elk or moose. Any sporting goods store you walk into in the US will have the ammo...maybe not you exact ones but they will have them. For plinking, militaly surplus is readily available. oh ...and the reduced recoil stuff, from what I hear is great for this round....my 2 cents

Good luck

What deer?...what tree?...lol I did see that. I saw it before too. no girl but I think the email title was something like "dead deer walking"

but wow...guess we got way off topic there...lol...how about those Yankees

I agree but prime, choice and select grading (USDA standards)based on fat appearance, marbling and overall finishing is not going to happen in milk breeds. Besides the genetics the dietary intake is diferent and the dollars required to try to finish a dairy brred to a higher standard is not worth it financially. That is why they are used in veal....the preparation costs are not there and are worth it. That is why if dairy cattle make it to the market it is usually for the use in lean ground beef

;D unless we are talking ground beef

LOL...I agree gundeck----get that BAC up high enough that the virus won't live in that blood

I can clearly see you have no idea about the beef business. Veal is taken from just about any breed of calf that you could imagine and let me tell you most of them are not from beef cattle calves. Most are bull dairy calves. Reread my post ADK----I understand that veal comes from most all breeds...but USDA Beef does not come from milk producing breeds...so I guess you can't clearly see...lol

Man...I feel terrible you are sick. If you can't get out....do you want me to watch your stand for you? I will tell you if anything goes by...promise!! Scouts honor

Perfect example The fecundity of deer -- potentially tragic because of the artificial imbalances in nature -- can be illustrated again in the case of South Fox Island, a little more than 3,000 acres, about 5 square miles, some 17 miles from the northern Michigan mainland into Lake Michigan...Owners of the timberland who were logging the island [in 1962] convinced game officers to plant deer on the island. In September 1962, the Michigan Department of Conservation, now the Department of Natural Resources, released six bucks and eleven does. At least two died that winter, so no more than fifteen deer were alive on the island to begin its repopulation. In 1969, seven years after the first deer were planted on the island, the herd numbered at least five hundred. At least forty more deer had been taken by hunters. A special hunting season was established, as the DNR decided that the herd was too large for the available food. Hunters killed 188 deer that fall. Conservation officers believed the herd was still too large. In the fall of 1970, an even more intense effort was made to harvest deer from the island so that the herd would again be in balance with food supplies. The DNR issued licenses to 612 persons, who killed 382 deer, including bucks, does, and fawns. In the spring of 1971, a check showed that the island had 194 deer; a population that fall of 400 was expected. In eight years, the original 15 deer had produced a herd from which at least 620 deer had been killed and the herd still numbered 15 times larger than the number put there in the first place. If continued intense hunting is not practiced, the herd will double each fall. The island once could provide food for approximately eight hundred deer. Its carrying capacity has now dropped to possibly four hundred."

Hey WNY----how did those deer die ont eh island?---if bush is right they should have been able to put as many deer on there as possible....just stack them 3 or 4 deep and they will do just fine ???

and even better is comparing veal to milk cows----who are breed for their milk producing characteristics and NOT their meat value....IF Dad was a butcher for 30 years and sold milk cows for beef, I am surprised he stayed in business

There are several reasons to yard and food is not one of them. The instinct breed into them to avoid predators is one of them. there is safety in numbers and this is a learned and passed on behavior. The drive to yard up is also driven by a bigger factor. the conservation of energy. Ever walk on snow shoes or better yet with out them...in snow a foot deep? is it easier to break the trail or follow a person in front of you? or a well worn trail that several are traveling? If you read any articles on this behavior they will all tell you the northern range of the whitetail use this survival tool more than the southern ranging deer. I do not know what HIGh population area you are living in but, I don't understand your position and you inability to understand basic science. Do you totally dispute the notion that every environment has a maximum capacity? Factor in the human tolerance element that manifests itself in ways like displeasure with deer/car accidents and there is a need to control the herd above hunter satisfaction

Not better....just a much firmer grip on reality

Biggest factor effecting meat taste is the care taken during field dressing and how the meat is handled from field to freezer. I have said it before.....if you HAVE to eat meat well done....send me your venison...I hate to see it ruined

Congrats---and it is those kind of memories and time you do spend with him that will keep you close...no matter the distance

was kidding earlier in my posts. I think it is great! ditto what Eddie said---they can get her into something

WOW---an internet tough guy....you quaking in your shoes yet NY???...lol unbelievable!

I am living that!!

Mine as well.

It ia easy if you wish...I passed on 2 tonight

See NY...we can agree...lol

I am betting I can run faster scared than she can mad

Too bad...looks like a cute girl too. That has to be just like an eating disorder...there is just something off about that
