 :hello:

Good times.  Looks like the Monday morning mod meeting can be called to order.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Sure glad the thread was pretty shredded. Take it to the Elk section next time, just my opinion.

In the mean time, I will say this:

While I don't spend as much time there as some, the Wenas has a special place in my heart.    Some of my favorite space to wander.

In my limited experience, birds are spread out all over.


Good luck to all.

Been birds in there for quite a few years. You just have to find them in small pockets.

Hahaha!  Tear it up! I leave the local birds alone.  Populations are low enough as it is without me killing one

Me too, and maybe why I am partial to the safety zone protecting a breeder population.

I was going to post earlier that is a benefit of the safety zone.  Gives the wildlife a place to rest and not be harrassed.  The land can only hold so many animals so at some point they will leave the safe zone, there will be a surplus and that is what we get to hunt, the surplus animals that the land can't hold.

It's the same with private property.  They don't stay on it all the time.  You have to own a ton of private property to hold turkeys or elk on it year round.  At some point they are going to wonder off that private property/safe zone or the population is going to get to a point that the area won't carry that many animals and some will migrate off.

I have witnessed many similar slaughters.  I  have witnessed the harvesting of hundreds of salmon in extremely short periods of time. Many times where the river bottle necks. Creating a trap. (poor things) Men on both sides of the river. People being hit by cannon balls, people fighting.  Sometimes i go to these places for a whole season and the slaughter never happens.  I do not believe these places should be shut down or turned into a safe zone.

Property and leave them alone. Hope the deer
And turkeys recover.

You have gal bucks on your property?

Is that how they choose to identify, and what is their preferred pronoun?
