Nothing like hunting and sweating and having your meat par-broiled by the time you get it skinned. When it's this hot all you do is spin your wheels and fight the yellow-jackets and they seem to be on the fight this year. At least they are at the lookout. Also the flying ants won't quit peaking. They swarm on peaks don't know why. Yesterday the other half was complaining big time and he had the little black ones that fall on you when you go outside and they bite big time. And hurt. -------------------- another long hot smoky summer coming Posts: 1105 | From: Intermountain region | Registered: Jul 2012  |  IP: Logged Kokopelli SENIOR DISCOUNT & Dispenser of Sage Advice Member # 633 posted September 01, 2019 05:33 AM                      The area where I hunt deer actually has very few hunters. What there is plenty of though, is clods idleing up and down the Forest Service roads and around the barricades on two-tracks; one guy driving and everybody else holding a bow with an arrow nocked. Our public image is being destroyed. As one gentleman I spoke to in a campground observed, "You guys don't want to hunt...… You just want to kill something." If this is how we are seen by the voting public, the day will come when we get our asses handed to us at the ballot box. End of rant. -------------------- And lo, the Light of the Trump shown upon the Darkness and the Darkness could not comprehend it.

That's a new one on me, archery road hunters! But, with the rifles, during the rut, at least, they kill deer. But, upon reflection, I have to say, my motives are possibly more pure than theirs. But, if that's how they want to do it is it up to me to question their behavior? Some people do this justification routine, it's okay if you eat what you kill. Well, I'm not much of a meat hunter, I trend towards trophy rather than stocking my freezer. My business, right? Everybody has their reasons, even those of us that hunt with those cute little subcalibers. <wink> Good hunting. El Bee -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

It was a great spot on the lookout to sit and watch it idiots drive by the deer never seeing anything. Yep, no one hunts it's to see how fast they can get ahead of you and scare the game or blow it out in all directions. It's very sad indeed. Seen a great bull elk the other morning in the neighbors field. LOL Other half said there were several trucks in the WMA down from our place didn't see one deer in the WMA but seen a lot in the fields above it. -------------------- another long hot smoky summer coming Posts: 1105 | From: Intermountain region | Registered: Jul 2012  |  IP: Logged Paul Melching Radical Operator Forum "You won't get past the front gate" Member # 885 posted September 02, 2019 05:08 AM                   Where I live we have Mulies not gonna even see one from a vehicle.

How did those washboard roads get in that condition in the first place? We could go on all day! Like the ones with the huge tires that like to get out after a good soaking and tear up the road, mud rooster tails, yuck yuck! ko ko, did you know that Safford was the Gov of AZ back around the Civil War?

He was the third Governor of Arizona. Funny thing; rumor has it that Safford, Thatcher and Pima were all founded by the same Mormon who had three wives that didn't get along. Had to be kept a bit of a buggy ride apart for the sake of marital bliss.

The heat shuts me out & getting tired. The flies & wasps are just out of control. Was pretty bad last year. This year is worse & they are in attack mode ? Maybe a sign of a hard winter. Dunno ? Dairy's all around & a feed lot just down the road don't help. No Idea how bad flies are in the big city ? it's probably perfect in the Peoples Repulik of Boise [ September 03, 2019, 05:03 PM: Message edited by: Dave Allen ] Posts: 1986 | From: Jordan Valley Oregon | Registered: Aug 2008  |  IP: Logged Paul Melching Radical Operator Forum "You won't get past the front gate" Member # 885 posted September 04, 2019 02:30 AM                   Dave and EW we have flies ,most years, there is nothing much around us no horse or cattle operations one ranch about a mile away with lots of live stock.

Years ago, Fountain Valley, Stanton and Westminster were full of dairy farms that were squeezed out because (mainly) cow shit stinks. Same situation closer to me, Chino and Ontario still has dairy farms, although some have moved to Barstow and Visalia while cashing in on increased property values. I always thought it a bit rich for people to knowingly buy across the street from a damned dairy farm and have the nerve to complain about the stink. Then, they democratically vote to out zone the farmer 100 to his single vote. And the assholes manage to still sleep at night. Anyway, where was I? There is constant maintenance of the manure, stack it up and although I'm not up on the scientific aspects of dairy cow operations, we do have a bit of an inside joke, being downwind of the dairies about 8-10 miles away. They mess with those mountains of manure and this bothers the flies which we call Chino birds. Next thing you know, where before we have fairly good vector and insect control, we know the reasons when suddenly, every time you open the door, the flies love it inside. And so it goes. Good hunting. El Bee -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

Member # 3102 posted September 04, 2019 10:46 AM                   Plenty of Kalifornia dairy men are up here. In fact, I think all but one of my many dairy farmer friends is from around here ? Maybe two ? We smell the feedlot but, not the dairy's go figure ? (edit) mostly, depends on the wind. Still not bad. IMO Flies come with the territory. It still gets on your nerves though. I think ? I have about 4000-5000 head of cattle within two square miles of here. Funny story a few years ago some lady came in complaining about the dairy 1/2 mile or so down the road from where she lives. I asked her how long she lived there. She said about a month or two. I thought to myself. Duh..Y'all didn't notice the dairy when ya bought the place ?

Don't know if it's a funny ha ha story or some type of "ironic" funny, or plain stupid funny. But, is the lady rare? She's as common and clueless as all the rest of the city types that never smelled cow shit every day, all day long, kind of unsure what that stink is? Backed up sewers, maybe? Then somebody tells her and she goes....DUH! I didn't know that? Now, thanks to AOC, she also knows that cow farts are ruining the earth's climate. Talk about reality striking! As sure as night follows day, clueless lady will be down at the city council meeting before long asking what the supervisors plan on doing about the menace facing the community. It would be funny, ha ha.... but next month she is organizing for windmills that generate a bunch of electricity all night long. (also, funny ha ha) Can't make this stuff up! Good hunting.

Member # 3102 posted September 05, 2019 06:35 AM                   Knock on wood so far most people around here are pretty cool. One of the other scenarios is transporting manure. There are manure tankers all over the place. We drive thru a moderate amount that spills on the road all the time. It's difficult to keep a squeeky clean vehicle. Gets on wife's nerves sometimes. To your point LB there is a country subdivision on the hill south of me with some pretty nice houses. Anyway some lady who drives an Audi raised hell with the county a few months ago about shit on the road & her car getting dirty. It got bad. A dairyman who is a real good friend of mine tried to avoid the area the best he could. But, an organic farmer has fields near her house & loves manure. If he spilled a little he would get back "asap" with a tractor & blade & clean up as best as he could. Still wasn't good enough. I think the county finally told her basically hey lady you live in the country !! Both of our county commissioners are farmers. They're getting old though it worries me.
