DR. Ed, how big do giant forest hogs get? Jim can you get through the metal detectors to get to Hawaii? Do you know of Lurch?

Be a hell of a loop to throw if heading that one. That’s the front half of a head’n and heel’n team Jim! :D:D

Good luck on finding hunting place. Some people take it for granted how fortunate we are here in the states.

Sorry, sick humor. Grand Mesa my old stomping grounds. Used to be bunches of elk on my aunt’s place east of Mesa, close to Molina, and at my folks west of Mesa a bit.

Everything’s big in Texas, oh:oops: I think I will say whoops and try to cover my bad taste in humor and say everything except elk herds and it’s sad, what here is in fences. 😳

I got the axis near Bourne, Tx. A free range hunt. The hunt was a gift from my peers when I retired. The only guided hunt I’ve ever been on and that felt really strange. Was way fun though..

Another axis hunt.

I grew up with people that considered a bird shot on the ground was about like an eleventh commandment violation. But since I took up longbows way many years ago the old adage “A bird in hand is worth more than two in the bush” makes way more sense. 🙂

Never tried driving down the road and popping them out the window with a longbow. Game warden would probably laugh himself silly and let me go :D:D:D

When I used to hunt CO and NM I always carried a blunt or judo just for fool’s hens. Mighty tasty bout anyway you can fix them.

Before the drought we had plenty of quail but I never shot a flu flu fast enough to catch up with the little buggers. Was fun though. Lot of times when oozing around looking for deer and I could here a covey twittering, talking to each other. The stalk would begin and even knowing where they were the flush would scare the s#%* outta me. Always the first one up be from where I didn’t consider one being 😉

David,

I pretty much hunt on my own anymore mainly for the reasons spoken of. It just hurt being so close to home.

I won’t go to archery tournaments that are mixed trads and wheels any more cause I don’t like to see and hear what has happened to “my sport”.

I won’t go on those pig hunts and I won’t get in those big groups of pheasant hunters cause any bird taken is so full of lead you can’t eat it anyway.

I know where there’s a shooting line for geese and I won’t do that either. Two reasons: another case of lead fowling 😆 and I never ate a cooked goose that I cared for so why shoot one. Might have something to do with mine having been cooked a time or two…..I was a hard headed Marine, did my best at what I did and was good at it but I also had a bad habit of saying what I thought. Not always advantageous por moi! Not even when asked was it wise 😉

I’m OK, just one more lesson in life learned. Never quit learning.
