Title: Hunting Season!!!
Post by: FX1 on September 03, 2015, 10:13:48 AM
Headed to CO to chase after Ralph the Elk with my bow. The dove season started on the first in Texas. I am looking forward to stocking my freezer and spending money in small towns that depend on the income from hunters like myself. Before this season i have already contributed $7100 on feed, licenses, small sporting good shops, the list goes on. Hunting is by far the best conservation for animals in my state. The fish and game department as done really well to boost over all quality and population for a natural resource that with thrive for generations.
Time to Hunt!!!

Good luck on your hunt here in CO! I'll start hunting the 12th. I usually bowhunt but this year I'm trying to take an elk with a .54 cal muzzleloader I built from a kit. Shooting a 224gr patched round ball.

At the Goodfellow Air Force Base, Military Police spotted six men with guns just outside the perimeter fence, and they dispatched security forces to meet the men, according to a GAFB news release.
The MP swarm came as a shock for the hunters, who had used Wildlife Systems Inc. to book an opening day excursion on the land adjacent to the base.

Be like the cool kids this hunting season, forced to quit your high paying job after taking your bow and arrow to Africa and wounding a nature preserve lion. Or maybe just shoot at any "big game" trophy animal that you aren't going to eat, with your bow and arrow. Makes ya feel like a real man, getting a kill like that and returning home to no job so you get to continue your adventures in the wild trying to feed yourself and your family with nothing but your instincts and a contract for a made-for-cable-tv movie about your dumb a&$ and your little bow and arrow :old:
Now kids, don't shoot anything that you're not gonna eat, unless it is attacking your family. Enjoy the nice live animals, don't need to chop off and hang their heads on your wall where nobody else can enjoy them. That's selfish. :furious

I had a USAFA dorm roomie from Alaska who would usually take a moose each year. He said quite a bit of the meat was pretty strong so he'd grind it up in a mix with beef and have enough mooseburger patties for most of the year. He had some shipped out and cooked them up in our dorm room... The whole floor smelled like mooseburgers for a couple days and our room smelled for a couple weeks. We eventually had a dorm inspection and washed/sanitized every surface and everything made of fabric in the room, and that finally got rid of *most* of the mooseburger smell.
He was the happiest kid in the dorms for those 2 weeks though. He intentionally flunked out so he could go home, that's how much he missed his mooseburgers.

My favorite is grilling the tender loins to rare/mdrare Lay them on top of home made garlic mashed potatoes.......top with a 1/4" slice of REAL mozzarella (don't melt keep cold) a big slice of roasted red pepper and drizzle it with a balsamic reduction that has a touch of cooked down raspberrys
It's crazy good

I like moose hunting in Newfoundland. No they arent the trophies of Alaska but they are nice animals and the hunt is affordable. Best of all they stuff themselves on blueberries, the woodland caribou too, and they taste delicious because of it. The woodland caribou is a handsome mount. They dont have the racks of the barren ground ones but they have nice head gear and beautiful white in the cape. A Lovely cape and mount.
These types that condemn trophy hunting? Do you think they ever wonder where that nice custom leather interior of their car came from? Or their shiny new boots? Or their man purses? I wonder, is there much of a difference between putting a dead animal on the wall or wearing one?
I know only one helps keep wild animals protected with habitat to live on.

Just to spoil your appetite ... :D Meat transfers the suffering and fear of the animals to the consumers, It's also bad karma. Empathy for all living beings raises the consciousness and purifies the spirit! Chimps love meat and are brutal, aggressive, and dangerous. Bonobos are vegetarian and are playful, loving and gentle. Chimps resolve conflict with angry force, bonobos with sex. Stress is a signaled response, triggered by the release of cortisol, a process we share with other mammals. Dying cells also send out chemical signals to communicate distress. Animal meat is full of these. The death of an animal is the equivalent of a cortisol orgasm, cortisol release continues for 15-20 minutes after death, and by the time the meat is completely dead, almost every cell would have released distress chemicals. What do you think happens when you eat the meat?
"This wholesale slaughter of animals is not necessary to prevent us from starving. Moreover, it is economically extravagant and ethically reprehensible. Most seriously, however, animal killing violates the universal law of karma, which is similar to the modern scientific principle of action and reaction."
"..the law of karma insures that those who cause violence and suffering to other living beings must themselves experience equivalent violence and suffering - immediately or in the future."

Yogi can frack off and the reason you dont see any birds, cats, or dogs in China is cause they ate them all. I think its swell the Chinese have such healthy breasts and crap holes tho I dont know what good it does when your national life expectancy is 101'st in the world out of 224 countries.
Im so tired of hearing about this GD Cecil I'd like to take my .375 HH and whack him myself. How many thousands of kids you think starved in Africa, or were murdered, since Cecil got whacked? Who speaks for them?
Who spoke for the white farmers who got robbed of their farms and thrown out by that Loon Mugabe who then went on to destroy a wild life Gem of a country by letting his cronies poach and get rich selling the meat and horns? And these fanatics here want to extradite some poor dentist to one of the most corrupt countries in the world for a supposed hunting violation and the bunch who would judge him were also the bunch who profited from the hunt?

I recently had a relative tell me how cool it was that her neighbor dropped her off some "real" chicken eggs from a friends farm. I assumed she meant "real" like a beer guy might say some local brewery has "real" beer as opposed to Keystone Light....
Nope, she actually meant "real" as in really from a chicken..unlike those factory made eggs you get from the store...

No elk this year. My father died on day 4 of the hunt and i made it back to texas in 10 hours. Really was a miracle that word got to me in about 2 hours. We had a sat phone but no one could call in. One of my friends neighbors in Co had a good idea on our location and ran up a 2.5 mile logging road and found me.
Sad hunt but i was with all my hunting friends so it was good to know they were their.
Plenty of elk but its called hunting not killing so in all it was a great adventure.

That's an interesting chart but it ignores some very important recent evolutionary changes regarding fire, hunting and cooking. Hominids, because of our biology are able to chase prey animals like deer and antelope until the animal is too exhausted to run anymore. Because of our big visual brain we can track prey for miles. And thanks to homo erectus we can fuel our big brains big caloric appetite with cooked meat.
And yeah, people should remove dairy from their diet.

My brothers and I decided to try to run down a rabbit in the desert, and it took a surprisingly short time before the little guy was worn out enough to let us walk up to it. We'd jog just barely hard enough to keep him in sight while he ran, and we'd walk whenever he stopped. Finally he just gave up and sat there. I wouldn't recommend it as a daily activity but I was surprised that it worked at all.

Well bow season in Texas starts on Saturday. More than likely i will stay in town and go to ACL instead of sitting in a blind when it 95 out side. My game cameras show some bucks coming to feeders but nothing huge. Never really been a huge fan of bow season but i do enjoy sitting in a tall tree a couple times a year.

This bow season has been awesome. With very little Acorns on the ground most of the deer are hitting our feeders hard. This has given us the chance to see whats on the ranch and try and take a couple of the older animals.
This weekend i had one get away. He is a old wise buck that i have been watching for a couple weeks.
I will upload the video.
