I wouldn't bet on that one being legal.

[kornsqueezer]

Nope. Not legal.

[Hoggwild]

I didnt think so neither...but wanted other opinions. Like I said, hes a everyday visitor. It'll be fun watching him grow next season.

[Hoggwild]

HA! Whichever park ranger is discussing the doe photo we harvested 10/30 at the wma and was at the office this past week....what is wrong with the photo? Word travels through the woods....Feel free to comment... PARK RANGER....YOU were not a GAME WARDEN who had spoke to us. Couldnt make it through the academy???? stay at the office and pick up the trash and horse crap. IM done ranting....

[Limbwalker]

stay at the office and pick up the trash and horse crap.

Totally unnecessary. Think before you hit the send button. Stuff like that gives all of us hunters a bad name.

A little respect goes a long way.

[Hoggwild]

I apologize, but you'd have to know the entire story behind it. We all know the Wardens visit these sites on a reguraly basis. But if you have a problem with a photo that was posted...WHY..WHY talk horrible about it to other people in the office while visitors are there?? THAT my friend is UNNESSARY in my book!

[Limbwalker]

There are always two sides to every story. I get that. But I also believe that two wrongs don't make a right. If someone wants to be dumb. Let them. Don't join in...

Us bowhunters have enough challenges as it is. We don't need to prove some people that would take away our pasttime right about us.

Many years ago, in this country, sportsmen were well respected for their courtesy, conservation ethic and contributions. I would like to see us get back to that instead of the "whack 'em and stack 'em" mentality that so many today have...

After Ive reread my "ranting" post...I let the heat of the moment get the best of me. And I, again, apologize.

And this young fella is a regular at one of our stands. But is he legal? I was going to let me daughter take him with a crossbow but can't make out if bone is pretruding threw the skin?

I'd let him go about 4 more years. That fellow is a nubbing buck. They are not very smart at first that's probably why he shows up everytime. He'll get smarter with Maturity and could be a trophy for you one day.

[Hoggwild]

Does anyone know if its possible to get a arial map with boundry lines of the WMA? And not that "map" they put in the booklet?

[kornsqueezer]

Do a google search and it will be close enough for you to pencil it in using the map provided.

[Hoggwild]

Was wondering if anyone hunted at Check Point 5?
We hunted last yr only near Check 3. Went and did some scouting near Check Point 5. But didnt know how crowded it gets on that side? There was only a handful of us who hunted on 3 last year. And can you drive back down onto the road at 5 during season??

[Archer23]

Gonna be heading out in the next week to scout...hoping to not see any rattlers or their poisonous cousins.

[Hoggwild]

havent ran across no rattlers..weve been scouting since mid june. ALOT of copperheads though, so watch out.
