 :yeah:
If you trying to protect you herd then i'd call from several different spots around your area. If you going out by yourself I'd use a climber and put yourself in a tree, unless you going out with a partner.  :twocents:

 :yeah: :yeah: :yeah:

And do not be surprised at seeing cat for first time at like 20me feet.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.
