Hunting Washington Forum

I've never raised cattle, so my opinion aint worth much.

But I can't believe putting a guy on horseback (40 hrs/week) is gonna do much to deter wolves once they've gotten a taste for livestock.
Seems like just one more incredible waste of tax dollars to me.

Correct. Pretty much a dude getting paid $200k to ride around for 40hrs a week.

Where in Washington did you find a mountain so steep? That bear appears to be climbing straight up. He or she must be fitted with suction shoes, obviously borrowed from sasquatch.

Thanks guys. Originally thought of Oyster but the conifer part puzzled me. Thanks everyone, Piano, mr5 etc. I think I need to order some new books. Have been staying on the safe side, chantrelles, morels, etc. Using a hook that I picked up for wild edibles class back in college 1976. Been wanting to try the oysters, the boletes,etc I know there are a lot more water ones. Just have to do my homework. Slow down on fishing and hunting or at least share the shrimp hunting on those outings. Thanks again, I am going to leave this guy where he is or maybe share some spores with some different deciduous trees on my property.

Hate to start the argument but a spike is a spike and a button. Buck is another.  A spike was a button buck a year ago that didn’t have the genetics to branch.  Many of you have harvested sheds from the deer you harvested and they are replicas of the prior years antlers.  A 2x3 always just that.  A spike, we’ll always a spike.  Those that choose to harvest a 2 yo 4pt are harvesting the future studs.  My personal thought,  if you go to a trophy state do one of 2 things.  Shoot an absolute toad, or take an inferior gened animal.

While I don't think you are starting an argument, your facts, based on proven science, are incorrect. A spike is not always a spike. 

Great times and thank you for sharing. Love hunting the BigC and really miss doing it with my kids. Food and candy. Even movies between shooting. And thanks for the proof that mallards be doing fine, except in front of yo guns
