I hate that every bird, no matter the specieis, is a hormone-driven azzhole - especially the Blue Birds. God damned Blue Birds not only fight their own reflections in anything they can see their reflectio in, but shyt while they're doing it. It's that time of year when I have to put bags and rubber bands around all my sideview mirrors and cover all the windows on all my cars. On top of that, they sit on, and shyt on, the plastic owls I put out. Little Blue bastards. Is a 12 gauge 3 1/2" load of #5 enough medicine for a Blue Bird? Made the mistake of thinking a few hours uncovered would be okay.

Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

That I don’t get to hunt enough…especially when they’re being tough and it takes a few sets to get on a bird that wants to play the game.

To me, that's just a part of it. I've tested positive for Lyme's multiple times, been on the antibiotic regimine, get tested every year for it. I take precautions, spray my clothes, even wear a rhino suit if the ticks are bad enough... but sometimes...

Guy who parks next to you, gets out and hear the bird gobbling, runs out the ridge, slides down the hillside to wear you are waving at them, and asks you "you gonna hunt that bird?"

I had a fiance that told me "Love is perverse; it can be beautiful, but it won't." A few weeks later, she dropped me.
The weather during turkey season is just that kind of perverse, at least in NE Kentucky. It can be snow and 33F or 80F and a thunderstorm.

it is a toss up between ticks and chiggers, or starting the day out dresses for cold and by 10 o'clock having to peal down and apply bug spray....
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I only hate the spring season. Too hot and too many black flies. The fall season is nice. Cool temps, brilliant fall colors and no damn black flies ! I much prefer the fall for hunting anything.

Depending on what the weather is like in the spring up here, it's either still snowing or it can be warm and the mosquitos will just about carry you away. But whatever it is, I'll happily put up with it!

Here in Virginia, the opening can be very cold, all day, sometimes freezing in the morning. Near the end of the season in May, the mornings are mild, and it can get downright hot by noon, and the humidty is kicking in. I've left the woods soaked in sweat in May.
