Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game First antelope hunt imminent.... advice?

I have the hookup. A gal here at work brings me jerky and sausage each year. She says her Dad gives it to her but she and her kids don't care much for it because it's ... you know ... wild. I wish I knew more like her.

At my old job certain non-hunters were always watching what I carried into the building and waiting for the hunters bounty.

In Saskatchewan hunters could donate their waterfowl to a local meat pantry. I think a nearby one was located in a COOP building. Drunk hunters staying at our motel would make a big waterfowl display on their tailgates in the parking lot mid-morning, let them bake in the sun, after they slept it off they would gut them and drive them to the meat exchange for drop-off. It always looked to me like there was more going into the freezers than being taken.

Remember the free cheese? At certain points they couldn't give it all away. I heard that the quality of the free cheese was top notch. That it was actually better than the good brand names sold in supermarkets, yet because it was free it got treated with suspect - like it was a government plot.

I'm always suspicious of the intermediaries in handouts. I don't trust government ones. I am far more favorable toward churches or, for example, Red Cross. Sounds like Coyote Hunter has a pretty good way of doing it. Probably gets quite a bit of it to recipients who would actually appreciate it.

You can thank me later,

oh wait you are not into that, you are a meat lover.

In college, in the 80's, a kid brought home a box of food from from some sort of food bank to our little hippie house. It had a brick of that government cheese in it- we called it Ronnie cheese, after the duffer-in-chief. It was waxy and insipid. Maybe they improved it since then.

Ate a lot of zucchini, apples, and other gleanings that fall. And pussy. Good times. Sigh. To be young.

If "we" really cared about substances that are being consumed in our society that are destroying "us" mentally and physically, from the kids on up, here's a hint. It rhymes with "booger". Nanny-staters like irfubar should be all over that crap. But that would be too logical.

Alamosa,

I moved to Montana years ago as a young man with a wife and two young daughters. It was tough supporting a family on Montana wages, I was a hunting fool and kept the freezer stocked with game meat. Raised the kids on it. Store bought meat wasn't in the budget.

Had co-workers who would ask when I got an elk where was their meat. I would laugh and say when you help me pack it off of the mountain I will share it with you.

Never could find an elk next to the road as many seem to, so a pack was always involved.

Game then and now is a precious commodity.

Last year I hunted for twenty days, hiking 8-10 miles a day and never saw an elk. Found tracks the last few days of the season, put a small herd to bed in the north timber. Returned to the adjacent park at first light hoping to catch them out feeding, all I found was fresh wolf tracks.

We used to be able to buy over the counter whitetail doe tags as many as you wished in different counties. Now you have to draw a doe tag in certain units, other units allow no doe tags at all.

A good friend who grew up here killed a bull every year until the wolves arrived. He had a cow tag last year and could not fill it.

This being the campfire I am sure somebody will say you are a lousy hunter and blame the wolves? maybe but I used to be a "lucky " hunter before the wolves.

These experiences formed my opinions regarding the value of game meat.

If "we" really cared about substances that are being consumed in our society that are destroying "us" mentally and physically, from the kids on up, here's a hint. It rhymes with "booger". Nanny-staters like irfubar should be all over that crap. But that would be too logical.

WTF are you talking about? booger? I am not even going to try and guess and play your retarded game.

As far as nanny-state , there you go projecting again. Your place of chosen residence defines nanny-state;

The vortex of retardation , you own it.

I am waiting for your sidekick CoyoteHunter to chime in , but he is probably to busy arguing with MuleDeer and schooling him on ballistics and reloading?

That's just karma for how you Montucky boys used to lord it over the rest of us. "Welcome to Oregon elk hunting".

But good job with the girls. That's locovore at its finest. I fed my girls a LOT of deer, elk, grouse, pheasant, turkey, and peacock. In fact for many years it was pretty much all the meat we ate. Don't even get me started on my views of the (lack of) ethics towards animals in factory-farm scenarios.

Rhymes with booger. C'mon, use your words. You can do this.

Your views towards towards drugs- at least from what I've seen, feel free to elucidate- are straight outta the nanny-state playbook. You want to tilt at the RIGHT windmill? Rhymes with booger.

Well if nothing else, you're super flexible.

lmao

My bitches are for everyone's enjoyment, not unlike slave's MOM.

Just a big sexual charity.

Care to donate? Slave donates his meat.

I'll donate this. Nice pair of birds.



Hopefully this won't set off Mr. "sanctity of the hunting forum". Personally, I think if young guys knew this was what bird hunting was like, we'd get more new hunters.

Dibs on Ms. Trampstamp!

I think I'm a total [bleep] for posting that pic on this, a hunting forum, and I sincerely hope one or more of you sanctimonious know-it-alls will give me a talking-to. THIS IS YOUR TIME!

Taxidermy time ... I definitely want to mount that!

Tom

JeffO,


That is your best contribution yet to the campfire. Congragulations

Like, totally. I get that man. I just hope you weren't permanently scarred by eating that insipid free cheese, what a total bummer! Stick it to the man!! Give me liberty or barring that, cheese!!




No worries brah! If it sets him off I'll just like totally tell him to chill out and take a bong hit. That would be sooooo awesome!!!!

I remember when this used to be a family friendly website.

My family disowned it. We're giving our money to the cracker barrel relief fund.

I don't, but I've only been here since 2007.

I stopped one time at a Cracker Barrel. Outside of Missoula....


Inman has probably banged some skanks out in the parking lot.
