i knew it

Pepe Silvia

have you seen the show 'swamp people' on this history channel? it's about people that hunt alligators or crocodiles or whatever as a living...and by 'hunt' i mean they set up lines with big hooks and rotting meat and come back the next day hoping one swallowed it down far enough or it got stuck enough to keep it on the line, then they pull the line and someone shoots it in the head

i started with the mishap with cheney & co
then i kinda got into how and why these birds are propogated
i personally do not hunt, and if you eat what you kill hunt away. As the golf courses take over any open area where we live, the deer population is being forced into less and less forest area. Hunting season has been extended here for that reason.
But sport hunting just to kill something that is bred to be hunted is, imho, abhorrent.

when I was a kid I grew up deer hunting but we always ate what we took then one year I got a buck that seemed like it was just looking at me in fear...that was my last hunt,give me jack in the box anytime.
I have no problem with hunting if you eat what you take but never did like trophy hunting and never thought much of the people that do it.

I have never killed an animal, and I never will, unless it's for my own self-preservation. I find hunting for sport a disgusting "tradition".

once a roommate had left a window open and a bunch of flys got in the house,he bought a swatter and one day i swatted a bunch then went back to my computer, took a sip of my water, took another sip and as i pulled it away out of the corner of my eye i saw....a dead fly floating in my glass! talk about karma

LG you rock ! so is that two things

I completely agree, it was bullshit "kinda" how they presented it...BUT...it is likely that a pack of wolves would eat you if you were bleeding profusely, were alone, incapacitated and sitting on the side of a mountain. It is very very doubtfull though one would allow himself to be in the situation to begin with....guess thats why its a movie. I love wolves and everything about them

I have had a pack of them right outside my tent bust into wild howling in the middle of the night. Holy shivers up the spine, even when knowing it wasn't a concern. Found their tracks less than 50 feet away the next morning. A couple different packs sang to my wife on her birthday just a month ago as well.

I had a pack of timber wolves do the same thing up in northern Minnesota. It was one of my friends first ever backpack trip and he was pretty freaked out and didn't get much sleep . . . although I'll admit it was a little unnerving even though I knew I didn't have anything to worry about.

I'm with you - went hunting wild goats once as a kid at a neighbor's place because they were being a pest on his farm. My mate shot and injured a goat but didn't kill it, so he had to slit its throat. The look in its eyes when it saw the knife and the noise it made while trying to get away were enough for me - that was my first, and last, hunting trip. We just superfixed the fence instead.

This was on the Superior Hiking Trail up near Tettegouche state park. I do love me some BWCA though.

Speaking of Minnesota, I'll be heading up there in a few weeks to do some hiking on the Border Route Trail.

I need to explore some Canadian wilderness... I hear you got a bigfoot or two up in there.

Cree Nations

there are a few, there is one less after last weekend. With the upcoming haloween holiday, i figured that this year I am going to do a little something differnt....sooooooo...... I found me a bigfoot, skinned him, ate his ass cheeks and left the rest to rot in the bush.
I think my costume this year is going to be tops.

Man, that movie sucked... It was Open Water 3, abandoned on a mountain.
I'm pretty sure that wasn't a true portrayal of wolves.


They shoulda just paid for their damn lift ticket.

Godfather.

I have a friend that use to live up in a small mountain town here in San Diego called descanso, he had about 5 or 6 hybrid wolves the he bred and raised that protected his house and property and when I went to his house to work on motorcycles I did not go through that gate until he came out of the garage to let me in..I never got bit but it ain't a chance I would take and nobody else did either.

I'd like to do a "the most dangerous game" sort of thing with Cheney, except that it wouldn't be any kind of challenge. I need someone who can run ten steps without having a heart attack. Volunteers?

Yep. We'll tell them too many hunting permits were issued, so we need to "manage" their numbers.
