  1. Never use water from a pond or stream, if it needs to be cleaned use tap or bottled water when you get it home. Water from a pond contains bacteria.

    chances are you wont get sick from it due to cooking the meat but leaving it hang after washing it in a stream can be an issue

  2. I'm not sure it's necessarily a threat, but as mentioned above by Stealthe3, anyone who plans to use a crossbow to hunt this fall should have to sit through a mandatory course. Or only make the tags available to those that already have their archery certification. I don't think a lot of the new crossbow hunters fully understand their limitations because a lot of them don't archery hunt. They could end up wounding more deer than killing because they are making poor shot selections. People need to be educated on their implements, that's why there are pistol courses, bow courses, and hunter/gun safety courses. There should be a crossbow course now too.

    I agree. I see an issue of over confidence taking long shots

  3. No you didn't sound snarky at all. I'm just saying it's frustrating for me that whenever I want to do something I basically have to plan it weeks ahead of time because of the travel time

    Time is always an issue when not living where your food plots are. My advice to you is focus on the late summer plantings, brassicas, turnips, radishes etc, for a couple of yrs. Gives you time to work the soil all spring and summer, then when you get the ph and weeds under control put in a perennial, maybe clover and chicory. With some help and mowing it will last a few yrs.
