Well another very short Missouri rifle season is gone and once again the local rags are putting pictures of the superhuman 6 year olds who,s egotistical Dads say killed a 20 point buck at 300 yards with a 223.The one I liked the best was the 6 year old girl on TV channel 10 from Springfield MO whos Dad was bragging and then the 6 year girl blew him out of the water with the following statement.."my daddy held the gun while I shooted it"I guess me and many others morals and common sense standards are to high for those simple minded jackasses that try and teach a kid how to kill at 6 years old..I had this stupid idea of trying to teach my 6 year old how to read and write and good and bad..But what do expect from those morons when the MDC is promoting this crap under the guise of teaching kids early..Pure bullshit--They start this brainwashing with so called hunters ed.Pure "commies"the whole MDC.Lets get these kids thinking the MDC is always right-the MDC is there for your good-the MDC takes care of all the land and water-the MDC puts all the fish and deer and turkey on the land..
THE MDC IS NOT YOUR FRIEND IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM..
Afew years ago someone put an ad in a paper for 6-7-8 yr olds to win 500 dollars.All they had to do was bring their deer rifles and hit a paper plate at 25 yards 3 times.
Guess how much money was paid out.Not a penny.Only 5 morons with thier kids showed up..
The rifles and various ammunition were placed on the table and the KIDS were told to load and stand and fire at the paper plate..The 6 and 7 year olds could not read or understand what ammo went into their rifle.They did not even know their rifle when laying with the others.The 8 year old who thought he was so much smarter than the others jammed a shell of the wrong caliber so bad the rifle was taken home to be worked on..Point is people the MDC does not give a dam about really being safe and knowlegable or this would be included in a hunters ED class..They want that money as soon as they can get it no matter what age.....

Elk belong here cattle are the intuders
Its finale.The MDC is going ahead with its elk stocking program.I hope for the best for everyone,BUT knowing most game departments its all about MONEY..I will bet they will have some ridiculous type of hunt someday and once again will violate the constitution and try and charge the property owner to use their own land..
Going back to my work with Elk out west our problem was the Elk populations were getting smaller and the hunters had been trying to tell the bigwigs for years they knew the answer,but everytime the Game dept would come up with we do not have the funds.Absolute Bullshit ..
A group of hunters called their bluff in the Newspapers and said they would pay for the study.The claimed problem was the forest service and BLM and State needed to get the cattle out because they were eating the Elk out of house and home.What they did was run a 8 ft fence before the spring migration for miles where the elk and cattle would be separted..After 2 years the pictures were stunning..The side where only cattle had access looked like the aftermath of a nuculer attack..Vegetation,trees gone as high as one could reach water holes stomped shut and full of their crap and stunk to high heaven..The side where the Elk had access looked better than it did before the test and there were estimated almost twice as many Elk sometimes..The hunters had proved their case..Also in the study it was found that cattle eat as much as 10 times as Much as Elk sometimes and their droppings were about the same compared to what they ate.Also Elk and deer will almost never go wadeing and crapping in the water holes.They will stay around the edges.The cattle would go right into the springs and lay down,defecate,and the act of them walking would close the springs shut..Due to lawsuits from cattleman it was almost 20 years to get them out and much of the high country has still not come back to where it used to be..People seem to forget that ELK are the residents here and cattle are a foreign introduced species..

The rest of the story
As most people know who have half a brain know it is never the ones who are in command-the higher ups that know whats really going on.They are too busy playing politics..
Now going back to rest of the story on how this rancher stopped elk from knocking down his fences..As mentioned before this rancher discovered elk can't really jump like a deer can so rather than build higher fences (which is costly)he looked at the worn ruts in the ground left by the elk to see where they cross the most and for 50-60 feet he did the following..He actually lowered the top strand of wire 2 inches and replaced it with a strand with NO barbs for the elk to get hung on.Instead of fixing the wire tight to the post he just ran it thru a loop,and to keep it very tight there were some very strong springs on the end..I think you get the picture.The elk could clear the fence easy and if some did come down on the wire the springs would give and NO BARBS would not snag(or injure)the elk.On other places along his ranch he would simply open the fence when the elk migrated in spring and fall and put the cattles some where else for a few weeks..We went to some town meetings and told the people to give it a try and next year almost no calls..Also for informative purposes in the several decades with the elk there was never a fatality with a vechicle.There were a few wrecks and alot of them were caused by peoples dogs chasing the elk accross a road..
Now our next big-big problem had to be solved.The elk herds were declining -WHY
Our next blog will try and explain it and probably hurt a few feelings

It looks like fall is finally here and I am ready for it.September electric bill is half of what the rest were this summer.Seeing more acorns now,but so far I have not seen a decent buck and that has me concerned..That is not right for my place..Lots of does and fawns.Several with triplets and one with 4 and one he/she with a fawn and as of today Its tiny little spikes still had velvet.
Lately I have been reading some real garbage in the papers about the MDC bringing Elk back..
Before I retired to Missouri I had worked on and off for the Game Departments in Washington and Idaho with the elk and one of the most notable "whacko" comments from all knowing citizen was that elk can jump 7 ft straight up..Bad news fella,Elk don't jump..We found that out years ago and I still have some video I shot years ago to back it up,but from where I come from everyone knew that..but what a lead cow will do is rear up and come down on a fence that she can not step accross and that is where our job was to solve the private fence problem..Our elk migrate up to 100 miles and there are ranch fences along the way..Everyone involed was trying to think of how to do this and that with the elk when a letter came to elk feeding headquarters..
Normally the higher ups would not even bother to read them,but this letter made so much sense and so simple..It was one of those shake your head and tell yourself "why didn't I think of it..This man had one of the largest migratings herds in the country and said he hasn't had fence down for years..Next time the answer...

Well here it is almost fall and every thing is starting to change especially the critters..Leaves are coming off slowly,most of the fawns have lost their spots,the bucks have rubbed off the velvet and the first part of the rut is here now that the week of the full moon is here.It seems they all turn nocturnal too,and last of all the hummingbirds are heading south..I do not know how they do it but come April 15 they come back and Sept 15 they start back..I have been seeing some acorns but not the way they were 3 or more years ago and thats where you will find the deer.
I have also been seeing something I absolutely do not want to see and should not see if people gave a dam about their dogs..dog packs of 3 to 12 killing and chasing everything they come accross.It seems just a waste of time to tell the owners IF you can find them,so folks around here just shoot them and then people they go running to the sheriff complaining...Seems some people are so stupid you have to spell it out..Keep your dog on YOUR property and you will have no problems.

Its time for dog control
For all you dog lovers out there like me I have a question for you- especially the ones with hounds and other large dogs..Do you keep your dogs penned up or do you just look the other way while your dogs disappear for hours ,all night or even days..or are you the type that "bitches"when someone tells you what your dogs are doing.Are you the guy that always says it can,t be my dog it wouldn;t hurt a fly..Where in the hell do you people get off letting them dogs run and terrorize people,animals and property and when someone shoots the dam dog you want to sue..I,ve had 3 dogs in my life and they lived a combined total of 58 years because I watched enjoyed and took care of them..
I have searched the internet on figures for the amount of animals that dogs kill but really got nowhere..but in my opinion they probably kill more game than all hunters put together and no one is doing a dam thing about it.Its always after the fact that something gets done..MAYBE
Once again the MDC has put an article in the papers that is pure bullshit and if I had known I would have donated to this 81 year old mans defense..They say that the only people who can shoot a dog is CATTLEMEN...and then they said that MO statue 578.012 says that you can not kill a dog..Statue 578.012 is the cruelty to animals statue..starving -poisoning-no water etc is cruel,but shooting one is usually the final option when all else has failed..
Now on the other hand MO statue 273.033 is the statue that gives you the rules to kill a dog if the sheriff or MDC does not do its job...
So here is my message to all you so called dog lovers.If you REALLY care about whatever pet you have- keep them home cause I and everyone else don,t want them digging my garden,chasing my critters or chasing me..When that happens they are GONE

Hows this for dumb and dumber
Once again your feeble minded MDC has sent an article to all rag newspapers who blindly print their crap and as usual they sign the name of some local moron conservation agent who never wrote a word of it..Here it goes word for word-
We have state statues pertaining to removal of plants from state and couunty highways and roadway right of ways..In general it makes it illegal to dig or remove any plants or plant parts from those right of ways..OXYMORON #1--However they do allow the collection of seeds,fruit,nuts ,berries,edible wild greens or flowering parts of plants for personal use or educational is OK..DUH aren;t they plant parts??As conservation agents its our job to protect these resources..
Alright Mr MDC agent I,ll tell you what to do.Go lay on the right away and see if those county and state bush-hogs don;t remove you and your plants and if you survive give them a ticket for removing plant parts..

Help Fido ate my neighbor
Well here it is June and all the real give a dam hunters and conservationists are looking over the new crop of Deer-turkeys etc..Now the real problem arrises.How many will make it thru summer that the family pets will kill..We have asked the MDC this question and recieved NO ANSWER..Now isn't that strange.The MDC can come up with all these so called figures for the amount of deer and turkey and how many are killed by hunters and cars but not for Dogs..Cats..
The answer is most likely they kill more game than any group and when a person tries to control this unwanted killings the MDC not only will not help but there is a good chance they will protect the owners of these killer dogs..In just the last few weeks I have seen and heard of some terrible things that these Dogs have done.In Ozark county they killed and ate their owner..They captured about 20 plus dogs..A woman showed me photos of a pack of at least 10 dogs --pitbull and hounds that ran a Mama deer and fawn right in front of her car and she almost wrecked.Then in her words(I never knew a little deer could make such a screaming noise and they tore it to pieces..She said her and her daughter opened the door and yelled and honked the horn but they payed no attention.I think its long past time that our state officials and law enforcment stop protecting these people that don't give a shit about their neighbors and if they shoot your dog on their property thats too dam bad.Keep your dog at your place..Maybe after awhile you will keep your dogs penned up..I think its time for the MDC to close the use of running hounds for anything..Missouri only has postage stamp size property and National forest so those hounds always will be on someone elses property.Once again I say this MDC is rotten from top to bottom and needs to go..We need people that care about the critters and the hell with the good ole boys..

Hard winter for critters
Well it looks like Spring is finally here..and as I expected the deer and other critters had a rough winter in my neck of the woods..Two years ago it was a bad freeze that killed off the acorns and in 2009 the ice storm broke all the top branches off that the nuts grow on -so food was hard to find ..I watched thru the winter deer and turkey eat things I never seen them eat before especially the pine needles-even cedar boughs (yuuk).As suspected squirrels had a big die off..Looking around the place where I would normally see 20 in an hour I saw one..Some of the deer looked awful thin and I hope it does't effect the fawn production..Well today is the weekend of the so-called youth turkey hunt-you know -thats where the 6 and 7 year olds take a 12 gauge shot gun (that would put a 200lb man on his ass if not held right)and kill a 30 lb bird at 100 yards -at least thats what the picture in the paper says and its sanctioned by the MDC so it must be right..They know all,see all and are never wrong and they put all the critters here in Missouri..but not to worry the MDC will fix everything..Just look up your driveway they are coming to help..

This rule does not apply to landowners
The other half brought home a MDC phamlet the other day which occasionally I glance at,but this time the wife says to me look at this and tell me what you think it means..I did and I must admit again I had to scratch my head on this one.So I,ll print it and see what you think??
Artificial lights may be used only to hunt bullfrogs and green frogs,or to hunt raccoons and other furbearing animals when treed with the aid of dogs..Using lights or any night vision or thermal imagery equipment to search for,spot,illuminate,harass or disturb other wildlife is a violation of the wildlife code..This rule does not apply to landowners on their own property..
Well to me that means the MDC has no right on private property and they know it..What do you think??

People are Brainwashed
It seems that you tell people something enough times and long enough they start to believe it..that folks is called "brainwashing"and that is the reason for the Constitution of Missouri..but as usual the lawyers and our Representatives totally abuse it..There seems to be alot of people who want to do something with the MDC but nobody it seems wants to take back their personal and property rights..Its always we should get rid of this guy and that guy..YOU CANNOT do it that way..The whole entire MDC needs to be gone from top to bottom...People have seemed to forget that ALL the conservation is being done by the private citizens-NOT the MDC..I am sure you have read about how many deer and turkey we have..My question to you is when the hell did anyone from the MDC come on your land and count?????I don't even know for sure how many is on my land but I sure as hell know more than the MDC does...People need to study what communism is and then take a good look at the policies of the MDC..It is run like an communist agenda..They have only one goal and that is to take over total control of all private property by useing your money against you.PLEASE PLEASE read and understand the Missouri constitution..and demand all Judges abide by it..You have the right to hunt and fish anytime you want on YOUR OWN property and you can go naked if you feel like it..and by the way if you read the dictionary "POACHING" is defined as stealing anothers game..

Does anyone give a dam anymore
Howdy-I sure hope that some of this blog is getting someone out there riled up enough to go and check out what the MDC is trying to do to your constitutional rights..Why is it the older I get the more I notice the younger Generation does not seem to give a dam about nothing else unless it concerns cell phones-texting-computer games and something to do with electronics..I know there are exceptions out there but I have not found one yet..I most definitly blame the parents for that..The same parents that put this country in the shape it is because they just could not wait to save enough money for what they wanted they had to put it on a credit card..Well I have bad news for them you can not put your constitutional rights on a credit card..Since there is no such thing as REPRESENTATIVES of the people anymore we may have to get rifles out and go back and do it the way the pioneers did..I have not spoke too one person who even knew about RSOM chapter 252 so they surely did not call up the MDC and say OK you can have my constitutional rights..Now people are going to have to fight to get them back..There was also in August 2009 on the same day passed RSOM chapter 590 which is the formation of a civilian review board which basically is a watchdog for law enforcment abuse of powers..This can help against the MDC because they have given their agents the same powers and more than the Sheriff...We most assuredly need some way to stop some of the ABUSE the MDC is giving private properety owners...If you know of an incident where they MDC has abused their authority there is a site called Ozark property rights congress in Mountain Grove..Tell them about it..www.ozarksprc.com

THE NEW HEAD OF THE MDC IS JUST ANOTHER HOSKINS
It looks like we have a new Guy at the top of the MDC..Hoskins you won't be missed..After reading his letter to the readers in the Missouri conservationist it appears the only real difference between Robert Ziehmer and Hoskins is their age..Right off the bat he starts in by saying how great the MDC was in responding to the peoples wishes and taught ethics to many thousands of people..I get the feeling he does not have clue to the meaning ethics..When this MDC was created the people who made the constitution of Missouri with forthought worded it so the MDC could not ride roughshod over personal and property rights..Since then the MDC has raised themselves to the status of some sort of GODS..and when your state representatives rubber stamped RSOM chapter 252..they want all and every constitutional right you have and if people don't get off their dead asses and do something there will be a war..Did you know that in part of chapter 252 the MDC claims the ownership of the meat in your freezer and that mounted deer head you have...

Send the Missouri Dept of "commies" the bill
Well can you believe it-2009 is gone..I would like to think the people of Missouri would like to start the new year off by taking back their rights..which I have not given up by the way..One resolution for 2010 should be that since MDC claims all ownership of anything that walks crawls or flies that they should have the same responsibility as anyone else when it comes to damage caused by something you claim ownershipship too..you pay for the damages..If an armadillo comes and damages your yard send the bill to the MDC..they own it...If you hit a deer send them the bill..People you have to read RSOM chapter 252 and ask your representatives what the hell were they thinking by passing something that tramples the constitution..Hopefully we can still find an honest Judge who will uphold the peoples rights and not some scumbag lawyer judge who goes to the highest bidder..By the way in this country and others there is something in the law called-CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION which means the landowner has possession of wild animals on his property...
