September 4 2020 and all the bucks have rubbed

Well here it is another year and Deer hunting has begun in some states..too early as far as I am concerned.. When you have game and fish Departments that are interested in nothing but MONEY this is one of the things Then a few years ago they started the kiddie hunt season and in many states they have a better season than your longtime hunters have and its resulted in many just quit hunting..Now in Missouri they have cut the rifle season down to 9 days which means a guy who can only get Sundays off has only one day to hunt but the kiddies now have 6 days of their own and all the regular season too plus they only pay a couple of bucks for a license..which now has created Daddy poachers.They put pictures of 6 year olds with rifles they can not possibly handle such as 6 year old Suzie 47 pounds with a 10 lb 308 and scope..Thats like a 200 lb man packing a 50 pound rifle...not this guy..Missouri says the youth must be able to hold aim and shoot by themselves.Now I just watched show where they showed this kid in a blind sitting in chair and Dad takes the rifle puts it on tripod and window tells the kid this is where you put ammo..then he tells kid how to look in scope-kid says he can not see anything--which I believe.A scope is usually fit to the eye using it...Then he tells the kid I will tell you when to shoot and where to put your finger..Kid was holding up wrong finger.Then camera shows nice buck and pans back to kid who did not have his hand on rifle.Then camera goes back on deer theres a pop and camera goes back and kids hand is not rifle and Dad is congradulating him nice shot and the kid is just giving him a stupid look...Theres no future hunter here.I,m sorry but I do not think there is a 6 year old kid anywhere that if you put several rifles and a pile of ammo on a table they could figure it out..If you can not read or write or understand why you are killing this animal its just wrong..

2020 and same story-no new fawns

I have 4 does who live close to the house and they are all related.One that is called split ear has been here for 16 years and she was mature when she started coming.Must be in her 20s..Yes deer will get that old if left alone and stay healthy..They were all pregnate and all had there fawns about 2nd week of May.Pretty simple to figure out.You watch thier bellies get big all winter then they disappear for a few days and them they start showing up again for their goodies and they are skinny..Its usually several weeks before the fawns start coming with them but again we wait and wait and no fawns show up.I have several cameras out to see what might be killing them..I have never found the remains of any deer so I rule out sickness and I only have a few of coyote and one bobcat..but this last year I have had a good size bear showing up..Camera showed him once on the deck..I have no Idea why he is here .There is no food of any kind around and he has not bothered the garden so far.I sure hope he is not killing them I would hate to kill him-but I might build a live trap..

Lets get rid of MDC they violate every part of the constitution

I will not go into this too deep because it would take hours to list but the MDC just like all other states is a government in itself using rules over and above our constitution..Lets start with something simple.Think you have the right of liberty and happiness in your own home and property..WRONG
 You had better read the Statues of Missouri 252 and if that does not scare the hell out of you just sign the deed to your property..Theres stuff like coming on your property to search without a warrant or cause..How about those deer heads MDC says they own them..Then of course you are told if its hunting season you must wear Orange even though you are the only person on the property..Whats the sense in covering your camo if you do hunt.You know if you are safe..You are not the bad guy..
The fact is wearing Orange has not made a difference nowhere in hunting accidents.The MDC and all states get there info from themselves.They manufacture it for their own good..The safest state to hunt as always is IDAHO and they have no Orange rules....One year the MDC listed 8 HUNTING accidents.They were ALL guys loading guns in their house or vehicles NOT HUNTING
  Are you even a little bit tired of those people using YOU to make their paychecks and not lifting a finger to help..
 In Missouri the property owner has always had the right to get rid of problem critters but a few days ago they had some article wanting PUBLIC input on letting property owners use night vision to protect their property..If you think I will put up with that BS I still have that bridge to England for sale...
  Once again another Government agency has screwed up and I am paying for it..The Corps of engineers has let the lakes go over the top which means the water is in places it has not been for years and has chased all the raccoons --possums etc up to me!!!!You can only imagine the destruction they do to a garden and fruit trees and fences mean nothing...I will say one thing ..Whoever invented that dog proof trap--Thank-thank-thank you..I can not think of another critter as destructive as a raccoon
and the dam things are so cute when they are babies...
 Now here is something that bothers--NO PISSES OFF a lot of property owners..The MDC uses big cities to pass laws they want.One big city can have more people vote than every county around it and they do not own 1 dam acre of ground but the bleeding hearts will vote something in that effects me and my property NOT THEM..ITS long past due that property owners should be the only one that have a say on what they own and pay taxes on...

Its 2020 I made another year and I am glad I hunt in Missouri

So far no Snow or really bad weather except for all the flooding I get from the corps backing the lake up...Its pretty sad when a state game and fish Department make regulations so bad and confusing national magazines will not put any information about it..The reason being they are so fractured and many the average person does not know what is open or closed.Just for example they have close to 100 different areas open at different times and antler rules.Insane!!! There is no statewide deer hunting.Some parts open some not..You have to buy a license for whatever weapon you use and you can only hunt with that...Non resident license are outrageous..Just an idea of what you are dealing with.These hunting books with the regulations are 11 1/2 in high books..Hunting 135 pages--
Fishing 133 pages Turkey 10 pages--waterfowl 50 pages...You need a license for deer--elk--fishing plus one for certain species like salmon--bottom fish--clams..and a lot more They will sell you a license for things that have closed season for years--like razor clams...and salmon fishing which has only a few areas and very few days you can fish..I will list some of the license cost in another post..
I guess by now you would like to know the state.   ITS Washington state..
 My long time friends and relatives whom all of them fished and hunted including the gals with me for all thru the 70s,80, and into the 90,s when things started going downhill ---not one of them does any fishing or hunting anymore..When we get together all we talk about is what the state has done to destroy the outdoors .. Even the resident licenses are way out of line ..
Now here is another kicker for deer hunting west of the Cascade range ..Almost 100 percent of the land is owned by huge timber companies and they have their licenses and rules where to hunt..Thats about another 50 to 300 dollars depending which one  you go on ..Unless you live in a cave you know Washington is as big as Missouri with many types of terrain to hunt..Last years deer harvest(kill)
was a measly 28,000 like the year before.What does that tell you??
