I don't think you and I are disagree or did I say anything correct, you just added a little more color to it. But yes, in order to use PR money, the state has to match it. If it doesn't, then they lose the funds and yes those funds can go to public parks like baseball fields as well. I'm not saying it's a perfect system, but many hunters and for sure the public don't even realize the millions that go into conservation projects solely from the sale of guns and ammo. Hunters don't even really put that much in if we're honest, it's the target shooters that do. https://wildlifeforall.us/resources/pittman-robertson-wildlife-restoration-act-explained/ (one of the better links I could find) surprised an official site wasn't on the main google search page.

Little do many know that there is already an excise tax on guns, ammo and hunting equipment. The pitman robertson act funds millions in conservation every year. BTW, there is no backpack tax for the hikers and bikers that use these same public resources. btw, guess who asked for the tax? GUN OWNERS. they literally lobbied for the tax to protect our hunting privilege's after market hunting nearly wiped it all out.

I did a population suburban control hunt once down south. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't call it hunting. It's good clean meat and a needed service, but it was kind of odd and again not what I really considered to be hunting. I would akin it to shooting a squirrel off your backyard bird feeder vs hiking into the woods and shooting one out a pine. Same squirrel meat, but different experience. iirc there was a show on tv 5 or so years ago that covered some guys that did just this and I think it was CT too.

Official 2022 Fall Plots Thread
Five Seasons replied to Five Seasons's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
I pulled some non-cell cams saturday that sit on my plots and was just overwhelmed with the amount of deer grazing. Just being hammered at night by doe and bucks alike. I am getting some solid buck activity here and there right before dusk and right after dawn so that will be my first week of october hunt plan before I leave the area alone till halloween. my fall plot is super patchy but growing very well. I'm confident with better spring and summer mowing I wont have the thatch next year and it wont be so patchy. -
belly meat?

don't underestimate #2. People love power. I see it in the youth sports volunteering that I do. Now admittedly I have several layers of direct reports in my real world job so I don't crave any extra power or authority in my philanthropy, but there are several (and I hate to point this out, but it's important) women on our board that are stay at home mom's or work lower level jobs and they absolutely feast on "being in charge". Like argue over shit that doesn't matter and enjoy the power trip. We all do the job for free except a free t-shirt or 2. I do it because football and baseball meant a lot to me growing up and I have 3 sons. Others I think have the power trip bug and nothing more.

I sorted on your most popular content my dude. Sure you slip in some random hunting stuff, I saw it. I honestly think you do it to take away the argument that all you do is post political stuff. So I sorted your feed based on threads with the most traffic and look what we got. What are going on here at 1am on a saturday btw?
-
so in the real world, are you saying that you shouldn't be able to shoot coyotes and bear out of season without a tag because it's not endangering your livestock? Or do you just like to have your cake and eat it to?

On KME's website I saw that they had a jig for curved heads. I've read that the staysharp is a good system but not as nice. I also heard on archerytalk that the guy who owns it is a poacher, but do your own research please haha.
-
I wouldn't reuse or resharpen used heads either. This was more about going the extra mile above and beyond factory sharp.
-
I've always shot mechanicals and plan to do so again this year, but have been doing a lot of research on high foc arrows and cut on contact heads. I don't think they're as necessary for us whitetail hunters, but the idea of blowing through a shoulder is intriguing. Anyhow, in my research i see a lot of recommendations out there to sharpen your heads even from the factory. Some of the jigs are pretty cheap at ~$30 and others up close to $100. Anyone sharpen their factory heads?
-
haha that's true too. My whole family has/had covid. Spent a lot of this week watching the 2019 season on prime and noticed the same thing.
-
let us know how the ammo thing goes. Something I didn't even think of and wonder how they'll handle.
-
I went last year and I think the year before. It's fun if you've got time to kill, but a far cry from the shows of old and I leave sort of saddened seeing on display what this twat of a governor and her molesting predecessor has done. I went to a show out of state once and it wasn't that much bigger but a lot cooler to see all the other options other states have and booths with silencers and other cool things we can't have. sigh.
-
I've never hunted out of one but everyone I know who does swears by them. The guys at THP seem to love them too. IDK maybe someday. All that aside, this made me laugh.
-
woah woah woah. Where did you find a truck for $40K??? don't burry the lead here! haha
-
that was my point. He said people don't hunt farms. I was proving that by definition this "preserve" is a farm. We're not in disagreement. I've never been against high fence hunting at all. It's not for me and our resident member could handle the subject a heck of a lot better than he does, but for me it's not hunting, it's grocery shopping on a farm.

Official 2022 Fall Plots Thread

this plot might be tricky to hunt without some kind of sweet harness and pulley system setup haha -
Sad but true. But if we're trying to optimistic, many other hunters buy land to save it from housing developments and improve that land. Probably fair to say that there are good and bad in every "group of people". So no? Not going to cite this? A quick copy and paste of a link should be all that it takes right? I mean... your posting history rarely if ever has anything to do with hunting my dude. Prove me wrong this fall.
