So, this is probably just the tip of the iceberg? Democrats and slush funds EPA, and the "Climate change" BS. There's no doubt that Biden and his crew are crooked, the public sector just a way to steal and divert funds....even if all they can be charged with is banking the interest. Anyway, read about it, and Maybe DOGE can sort it out?

Face book has a history channel. They had a thing on George Busch. George was ex CIA director and when Gov. got into all that trouble (illegal arms sales and few other things) They couldn't pin a dam thing on him cause he knew how to cover his tracks. He also served in the Navy and did good for himself till the day his plane got shot down and he lived but his two crew members died. There was like 3-4 different books wrote on that experience that day and not one of them agrees with other, he kept changing what actually happen. There happen to be a plane up in front of George that seen what happen and the rear gunner saw it all and it conflicts with what George said happen. The tail gunner filed a complaint but was swept under the carpet. Truth be known he bailed on his crew and let them ride the plane down to their death. Something else to think about, George was working for Gov. at the time Kennady was killed. And worked for Nixon as well.
They did a piece on Clinton as well and that fuck had dirty hands as well. [ February 16, 2025, 08:17 AM: Message edited by: TA17Rem ]

I don't think Greenlanders could handle the climate in Calif. so El Bee could concentrate on monitoring the increasing earthquakes there. However .... Greenlanders would feel right at home in Mini-Soda's weather and nobody understands either language anyway. Eh?

Minnesodatans have a certain walk and talk. I remember the mudflaps with red reflectors and the little suction cup American flags that would sell out on the 4th of July. Powderhorn park has an island from which they launch the fireworks to the adoring crowd, and they always act like they have never seen fireworks before in their life! The "Oows and Awahs" are delicious, if you can hear it above all the mosquitoe slapping, and retreiver barking.
They are a special lovable kind of hick, no bip coveralls, but they will roll their Jeans at least twice and the long sleeve plaide is the northwoods fashion statement and all ballcaps have built in earflaps. These guys are as trendy as any from Quebeck or especially Manitoba. You will see plenty Paul Bunyon's walking around with Blue in tow. Paul Bunyon is the State Flower along with the Lady Slipper. And a Saturday night fish fry; as long as it is with Walleyes, there is no other fish worthy of being et. Give the kids sunfish, they won't know the difference. Those were the good old days, a time warp for sure! Ask Tim, he remembers. ;D

I live in south central Minnesota on what was called the prairie. Thus the series "Little house on the prairie" with Micheal Landon. I grew up 30 miles east of there and you can still find the Sod house they once lived in. Laurae Engells Wilder wrote a few books on the life there be good read for Koko or whoever likes to read books.
Yeah many years ago the farmers wore caps with fold down ear flaps, but they didn't have cabs on tractors back then, came in handy on a cold day.
Buckled rubber boots was worn at one time now they have pull overs or just fancy rubber pull on boots. Mud flaps on truck was also used, they helped save the paint and windshields if someone was following to close. Telephones was the old crank and talk, then dial phones and now cell phones. seen it all. In my area we had so many settlers from all over Europe so the langue's was a little different or should say accent was different. Swedes, Norwegians, Dains, Germans, Polok's to name a few. Most of the accents is now gone.
The lay of the land here changes almost every few miles from flat to water ways and then hilly and even few deep drainages. My area has a little history like the last wild Indian was killed by a farmer about 20 miles from my house, we have what's called the petroglphs about 5 miles from me. Buffalo ridge which is red rock formed by the glaciers that came through here. The Cole Younger gang was captured about 15 miles from my house and when running back to Mo. Jesse and Frank James stayed at one of the family farms for a week to heel down along the river. Family-owned tree claims down along river as this is where the firewood came from to heat the homes back in the day. Look hard enough you can find parts of the old flour mills along the river. We also have a few water falls close by. When settlers first settled here, they were required to plant so many trees on their homestead and why you see such a variety of them around my area. There is a lake up in north central Minn. that 3 generations of family use to fish in summer as well as winter, you can go to some of bait shops and just mention one of the names and someone will speak up, lot of history there. When i was old enough to ice fish we would spend five days a week on the lake, come home fri. and return again Monday morning. Food for family and a place to relax, can't beat that. Up around the lake was many of the old Swedes and Norwegians and their accent was still strong and many that still could speak it. Go farther north and it gets worse you might say and people up there tend to live a little different and do things a little different as well. Kind of reminds me of the old country. So much diversity in my state compared to other parts of the country but stay hell out of the Twin cities that's a whole different world there with many who have lost their family values. Just lost souls now. At one time every town had at least 3-4 different churches and religion, nothing Jewish or Spanish though. and some towns had two schools. Public school and Catholic with Catholic catering from 1st up to 5th grade then they moved to the public school. Go out west you got cowboys stuck in their old ways and here same thing it's just we adapted and evolved. Family had horses as long as I can remember. Great grandfather owned largest livery stable in my area at one time and furnished all the horses or boarded them as well as buggies. I have a old picture from that time frame with about 100 buggies or wagons parked on street in front of the stable. Grandfather later got into delivery of goods and then started one of the first gravel and road building companies. Some was done by horse and dump bottom wagons and later moved up to trucks. In my area we also had alot of sloughs/wetlands and i lived long enough to see almost all of them drained and turned into farm ground but now many of those areas are now being turned back into idle ground. (CRP) I can't remember that last time I have been bitten by a skeeter but i don't go out and look for any either. LOL Back when we had all the sloughs, I can remember the sky in the spring or fall being blacked out by the migration of ducks and geese.
I can actually say i lived my life to fullest. "I done it all and lived it."
Little more history. My grandfather was a cattle and horse buyer/trader and one of the first to truck cattle and horses back east out of the western states. Ponies were bought and broke and shipped to mines in Penn., cattle shipped as far east as New York and few midwestern states. on his buying trips west, he use to bring wild game back from some of western states for us to eat. He was nominated twice for some Cowboy Hall of fame but not sure if he ever got inducted. Use to have some big picnics around that time with ranchers from all over the country. Later on in the years I got a chance to hunt coyotes on some of the ranches. Good times. I have a cousin now he kind of carries on the tradition of bringing cattle back from western states and as of late picked up a few loads of Brahma cross out of Oklahoma; they gain fast but have to keep plenty of bedding around on cold days.

Gotta love an area that has a rich history. Sadly, these days too many people can't get their faces out of their Smart Phones long enough to learn anything. ..... and that's a shame 'cause a ton of information is right there at their fingertips. Even more fun, stop in at a small town coffee shop and visit with a couple of local geezers & get them to talking. A lot of history and it's all being lost.

yep agree a cafe or coffee shop full of info.
Sat with some guys that new my father and they told me about some of his hunting adventures in the day. One in particular was when my father was a gunner in a plane thinning out the red fox back in the day when it was legal to hunt and shoot from a plane. They were just flying near town on a Sunday looking for a few foxes when they spotted one and went after it with the plane. This took place by a slough on edge of town and when the plane dived down and then to level off the plane did not respond quick enough and sure enough into the slough they went. They was lucky pilot could bring the nose up just enough to land ok you might say but still crashed none the less. Had to wait till spring get the plane back out. I saw a picture of the wreck a long time ago in my grandmother's photo album but when she passed my uncle in Maryland took all the albums with him which had many pictures of my father's hunts. They would hang fox scalps from the braces on the plane for picture taking. I still have both shotguns; one is a 16 Gauge double barrel and other a Rem./browning pat. mod. 11 I think. Has the big hump at rear of reciever. The guys at cafe also told me about the last legal wolf that was killed in southern Mn. by my father and his hunting buddies. And they talked about the days they had Jackrabbit and red fox drives in the area. Those days we had many sloughs and alot of wheat ground as that was main crop for sometime. Fox was so plentiful you didn't need a caller back then just walk one up and shoot it. My dad talked around friends one time talking about how thick our pheasants use to be back when he farmed. Him and some buddies would go out at night with a tractor and two guys would sit on fenders with pitch forks and either bat the birds or spear them with the fork when they flew up into the lights. Back in the day it was women's job along with the kids to pluck the feathers from the game birds that the men brought in from the day or nights hunt. I have also seen pictures of the piles of birds they had gotten with the women sitting there in chairs plucking feathers. The feathers were saved for stuffing pillows, mattresses or lining blankets. My Grandmother had a tanned horse hide on floor in her house they used it as a cover for when traveling in the wagon or model T's and then later on just left it in house on the floor for display.

Not sure Koko. From those I talked with plus a old newspaper article they called our wolf Blackie.
Speaking of wolves. Minnesota has more wolves than Montana and Idaho. As many years I spent hunting or living here I never seen one in the wild except for the year I worked way up north in our wolf area but nothing in southern part of the state. Why is that?
Oh sure we did have a few reports in last ten years of a wolf or two moving into southern part of state but far as I know they never stayed.
Kind of a funny thing with people when it come to coyote, wolf or cougar sightings. Get a call from a farmer that claimed he had two coyotes out in his field and when we got there, we would just find a pair of red fox running around. Would get calls on a big cat crossing road at night and would drive over in morning and just find where a coyote crossed the road leaving its tracks in the snow. LOL A person's mind can really play tricks on them. So anyway, where are all these wolves that supposed to migrate?????
Oh we have had a few bears migrate south last few years with a mother and cubs just 30 miles from my place, but they moved on heading southeast and also a few have been spotted on eastern side of the state in one of the areas we were rebuilding a road. Take bobcats as well, we have them in northern part of the state but never see or hear of any down in my part.

Another thing on wolves here in Minn. We have a place up north called camp Ripley, its the training grounds for our national guard plus others from neighboring states. Small arms fire is conducted there as well as Mortars, tanks and cannon fire. Its a nicely wooded area with varus types of northern trees, some bogs or sloughs ect.
Each year they give out so many deer tags to hunt inside this area, mostly bows, and are considered trophy hunts. (big bucks) Some dam nice deer have come out of there. Camp Ripley is also the core area for many of the Minnesota wolves. The camp has a nice balance in animals and why they still exist due to limits on big game tags. So what's the problem? Pretty simple in most cases Greed is the problem. Outfitters want more game for their clients thus more money for them. If their wolves getting out of hand, then reduce the big game tags and get a equal balance in the areas that have wolves. Guided hunts was meant just to be away for a local to make a little extra cash in the fall to help out their families, now its a fucken business and the outfitters are filling their pockets as bad as the Democrats off of our wildlife. Montana sells big game lic. for what 30.00 to locals but non-residents pay hundreds of dollars or thousands for a tag which some are limited to just one time deal. 30.00 for local Tag not going to pay for care of states wildlife, its the non-residents that are footing the bill. Do a google and take look at each state lic. sales from say 15 years ago up till now. The number of tags has gone up and up. Well, if the wolves are killing all the big game off then why are the number of lic./tags increasing?????? More greed! I don't have wolves in southern Mn. and the deer numbers here go up and down, bad winter or a surge in hunters from one year to the next and DNR adjust accordingly from one year to next on tags, maybe other states should follow suite.

All kidding aside, you have a rich history, Tim. Value it!
I’ve been to Camp Ridley, when I was about 10, Went with my uncle who was a Iwo Jima veteran, and he spent much time exchanging ple3asantries with the army folks. Other than that I don’t remember a damned thing about the rest of the day? I do remember he said something as we passed some GI’s in a Duceand a half: Yeah same thing, soldiers ride and Marlane’s walk!

The wolves in the UP of Michigan have decimated the deer and moose populations. Lots of deer hunters have quit hunting due to not seeing deer. A lot of hunters get nothing on their game cameras but wolves.
As far as seeing wolves, it's not a problem. I had one come into the camp yard in the middle of the afternoon and it wasn't afraid of me or my truck sitting next to me.
Here's part of a pack in the camp yard.

"A lot of deer hunters have quit hunting due to not seeing deer"'
That was one of the two goals the Antis had when they promoted wolf reintroduction. If you stop hunting you won't pass the tradition down to your children and grandchildren. They win by attrition. The other being to use the wolf as a cash cow to raise $$$ for the Anti organizations and the $$$ salaries of their Boards of Directors.
Same problem down here on the Rim; deer & elk numbers way down.

Michigan sold 585,595 deer lic. this season, 1% fewer than 2021. Harvest was down 11% from last year.
2008 sold 725,190 deer lic. 2023 sold 1,238,679 lic.
In 2015 the buck harvest in the U.P. bottom out at estimated 17,000, two years later bounced back up to 30,000 buck kills.
How many deer in Mich.? Just a estimated at 2 million deer and up 30,000 from a decade ago.
Mich. is second largest state for deer/car accidents with Penn. being the leader.
Hunters not reporting their harvests can alter or screw up the DNR estimates.
Back when Covid showed up there was a decline in number of hunters for few years.
Wolves??????
Wolves, more so than any other pred. are often blamed for decrease of deer in a given area like the U.P.. From 2009- 2022, the buck harvest through all seasons has fluctuated up and down in association with severe weather.
When deer numbers decline, it is not because wolf numbers have increased, and when deer numbers increase its not because the wolf numbers have declined. Weather plays a key part on deer survival as well as the logging industry, predation and few other factors many do not see. Wolves are not the main pred. of fawns, and fawn survival is what brings the numbers up and down as well as the weather. Other fawn pred. are coyotes, bears, and bobcats.
Now in southern Minnesota the top pred. is cars and coyotes, no wolves and no bobcats. Our herd numbers also go up and down according to the winters and wet or dry spring as well as number of hunters each year which goes up and down as well. As of late my area is seeing more bow hunters than ever, they all want to shoot a big buck and have a better chance due to the deer still being somewhat relaxed and they stick to their feeding and travel habits, come slug season many start to bed down tighter during the day or head for the big safe areas. The thing about living in a area with fewer tree's mostly open country you get a good chance to see how deer move about from one year to next and can get a good guess on whats there and its the same when calling or hunting coyotes you can see whats going on around your area. The guys in brush country can only guess as to what and why.
Come springtime each doe has a certain place it wants to raise its fawns, and it will use same location till day it dies and then its young from previous years take over. I remember one season there was a hunting group they was just mostly after any deer as they just wanted the meat. They hunted their area hard and filled most of the tags and they also killed the adult does, older bucks and even button bucks but let the fawns from that year go. Next season same big group showed up and they thought they could fill all their tags again. Nope it never happened they only shot a few deer reason being is they killed all the adult does or most of them that used that area so in a nut shell there was nothing to come back and replace them for some time, the area numbers is still not right. Those hunters fucked up a good thing by over harvesting there area and yeas the same happens everywhere if you see a increase in hunters in a given area.

LOL yeah i sort of did that make it little easier to comprehend, just put in the important parts. Wisc. and Mich. just across the big river Leonard and both states kind of laid out like Minnesota but on smaller scale. Google comes in real handy for research on subject and i went through more than one place and they all pretty much say same thing. You can access the DNR also for lic. numbers and harvest reports and find same results in other places. The point is not many look at big picture and its easy for them to just point fingers for blame or cause. I've hunted deer here for long time and if you want to shoot one or a big one for that matter you need put the leg work in and study what you have. Game cameras just tell you what's there at some point in time and often doesn't tell you everything, depends on how many cameras and where you put them. Interference from farmer or human traffic can change how a deer moves and when. Once first shot is fired here or even just a combine going through a field is like an alarm clock for the deer telling them to head for safe haven or lay low till its dark. Bucks won't come out of big woodlots till dark and shooting done with for day. As season progresses and quiets down a little in given area the bucks will come out of the wood lots a little sooner like 5 minutes before dark as as it drags on they start to come a little earlier. Most of my big bucks where killed 15 minutes before sunset and at end of each season i hunted. Slug and then muzzle loader and then bow. I patterned my deer every day if I had time to get over to them and when i hunted them i set up in a ground blind. Most now days sit in dam tree stand and some of the deer figure them out plus you have human traffic going to and coming from a tree stand, plus wind could be wrong as well. and you have vehicle traffic from hunters as well which warns deer of their presence. A big wood lot i hunted the deer would come out of the south side at times then the west side or even north side and they keep the pattern the same till something sets them off to go another route. I hunted just across a fence line on west side as that's only access i had or next fence line was to far from wood lot and deer wouldn't reach it by darkness. The farmer that owned land that i hunted on left stand corn in field and wouldn't plow up any ground till after deer season so most of the food was on my side of the fence and that's where they wanted to go as long as something didn't set them off. If the deer came out of south or north side of the wood lots i would drive over to that side and blow on my howler a few times. Deer would run back to woodlot and next day change their pattern to where they was going to feed that evening. It also takes time to get things just right and not many hunters could hunt all week where i could. In the areas with CRP the deer tend to just lay up in grass till dark but can get up and move early or a hunter can get in his tree stand in mourning and perhaps catch one coming by to head for the grass as sun comes up. I tried tree stand years ago and hated them as they put a limit on your success, and you were fucked if the deer didn't play along. I believe hunting in big woods is worse, yet you really don't have any control over how the deer are going to move or when, just make a guess and then hunt the entire season till one finally shows up for a shot. If they don't then well, I guess we could blame the wolves or the coyotes and bears for that matter.
Years ago, we just use to party hunt and make deer drives and that's how you get the numbers, but nobody wants to walk anymore or more than they have to. And some was afraid if they didn't shoot a deer they jumped, and it ran over to next property someone else was going to get it so now they sit in tree stands and try keep the deer on their lease. Tree stands can be good in big woods, but you need someone to walk around and get the deer moving or they just bed up somewhere till dark.
Little story from few years back. Had a hunter who would walk a 1/2-mile-long fence line to get to his deer stand by a creek and where there was some good cover for the deer, nice spot too. I would go out to my farm to feed the dogs around dark or just before as i didn't hunt deer any longer. I'd drive down this gravel road that took me past the bridge for the creek and i would always see this nice buck every evening along trees by creek not far from the road. This same creek goes to where the deer hunter sits in his tree stand and has permission to hunt all this land. Every day guy walks out and comes back at dark never seeing a deer. LOL All he had to do was walk in along the creek and take it to his deer stand and jump the deer on way to it but he never did and he never got a deer. The buck made it through the season and next year turned into a monster and laid up in same area and i thought he was going to make it another year. Slug season ended so now I could run my dogs and I ran them through this same section and the dogs bumped the deer and it ran off to another nice section about 2 miles away and laid up there. Bow season still going on and a bow hunter ended up getting the buck from that section. Nice.

P.S. funny thing about that fence line the hunter would walk in on. the section is about 2 miles and L-shaped with creek going through middle of it. The coyotes love this section cause its big. The funny part is I can never get a coyote to come in along that fence line when out at night calling. I have to call that section from the north or east side if im going to have any luck.

Wolf can go 3-4 days without eating, who says they have to eat every day? Wolves can eat enough to get by or get lucky and have a big kill and then stuff themselves or come back and feed later. Wolves also are not African lions where they sit on a kill till its gone. Who says they catch and kill a deer every day? There are other things to eat beside a fresh deer kill. Porky pines, some guy's dog that was allowed to run loose, road killed deer ect. Mich. runs 2nd in number of vehicle deer kills so plenty of food there as well.
Some expert tells you a wolf has to eat so much to live and think numbers are exaggerated.
Lets take a look at Leonards Tilly since she is related to wolves. How much in pounds do you feed Tilly each day? What happens if you give her too much each day and how does she react to eating when its warm out vrs. cold????????? I'll wait for answer before I shed some light on this..
