Brother Dave and I were killing a cup of coffee,just a coupla minutes ago,while gawking at the Hunting Channel.

At the end of the segment,there was a piece on monitoring Whitetail numbers in I believe South Texas(had the tube on mute and was bullshitting,while gawking)and one of the means was a highly skilled pilot in a helicopter and a highly skilled marksman firing a net from same.

I figured it a great way to curb some traffic to the north,on our southernmost border. The Military good get in some good flight instruction as well as marksmanship disciplines.

Can't know how many a guy could tangle up in that webbing and then conk in the head,in a day's time but would have to think 25 doable.

Trophy Pictures could be taken post-conk and I believe there is much merit on many levels,for modest funds.

As skill levels progressed,the nocturnal roundups would become a breeze and I'd think capture/conk numbers would increase as well.

Thoughts,other than the obvious...in that it'd be superlative for unruly Canucks too?......................

It'd be a fun catch and release program, but could we mount a few??

mount em', and then take them to the taxedermist!

Whatever floats your boat...

Only the does. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I think you should get extra points for re-captures or should I say capturing ones that already have "conk" marks on them...but I guess that would depend on if a "conk" is terminal or not! If not a three conks and your out rule may have to be applied...

gonna have to tag those caught to figure who the recidivists are.

and put radio collars on 'em so we can track 'em back to their lairs ...

Once caught a tracking implant in the penile area that could only be removed through removal of said organ. this would help with the population problem and tracking of these folks.

Bullwnkl.

It'd be interesting to know what Stick and brother Dave could come up with when something stronger than coffee is in their cups.

Bet it'd be entertaining. (grin)

A barge full of scooters for starters!...heh!

So which border were they thinking about? With all the canuck comments lately, I'm wondering if they were thinking about our border <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

cripes that some funny chitt. I'm picturing Stick and the Brothers all toddied up conking ensnared Mexis in the head.

I think it'd be cool to fly via harness off a belly hook of a Hughes 500,suspended below the ship's belly.

One could contort any which way for a good poke and with some goggles firmly affixed,the only eye-waterin' would be from the tears of laughter.

Good thing I ain't a rich man..........................(grin)

I think one of those monster "Sky hook / Sky Crane" helos would fill the bill , dropping those big purse siene nets( miles of it), maybe.

Anything smaller, and you couldn't keep up...to many of 'em.

In that volume, dropping the loaded net from a coupla hunnert' feet would subtend to a "Group Conk".........No?

Nix the "group conk"...............a 3-400 yd Drag through the mesquite, Whitethorn and Cholla Cactus should be more than adequate, and would get decent results. Certain losses to snake and gila monster bites can be anticpated, however.

GTC

You now get to Command an Air Wing!

The 'Crane remains my favorite heavy-hauler and I'm embarrassed to have been thinking about the good of my Country,on such modest terms. Grapples have an application here.

I bow to The Master.....................

To paraphrase some of our finest from the sixties:

But, how can you "net" women and children?

Oh, you just have to lead them a bit less!

Smaller meshes.......................

That is why mehico has a poor olympic team.

Anyone who can run, jump or swim worth a S**T is already in the States!

Should read only the small does, nothing MUY GRANDE <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

gill nets, then the chollacalli drag ...

Sounds great to me, but, with bag resrictions we would only be allowed to have a taxidermist mount Juan a year. (grin)

I'm a simple man and believe a few hundred drones with mini-guns would settle the border problems nearly immediately. Low maintenance, good gas mileage, and the operators can run the show in temperature controlled comfort sipping coffee and reading the Campfire. They'll be fewer people smoked by the drone than get cooked in the desert so it's more humane too. I don't see a down side.

Just wait the ACLU commies would bust a gut getting all the legal arguments filed, they would all have fits of appoplexy. hey maybe it could be a win win situation get rid of two pains for the price of one? Naw that would be cost effective and make sense the government would never be able to do THAT!

I think North Carolina has their turkey restocking program done now. We may have some extra net cannons just gathering dust...

As an aside, those that are conked and kept, shopuld be sent back via catapault/trebuchet. Think of the possibilities. Catapault Day. Bring your toddies and snacks, kick back, and see if them illegals can fly.

The really bad one get thrown at a tall wall. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think that would qualify under the DNR's catch and release program.

Want to stop the migration North. Just fingerprint, picture, put the felons on chain gang rebuilding our highways and bridges.
Soon as the word gets out the river of illeagals would stop. Put the women to work in field kitchens cooking for the workers. The overflow of women and children could clean up our parks and roadways. Free medical would no longer be free, only for prisoners. When they served two or three years release them at border with knowledge if caught again sentance would double. Nothing but english spoken in camps. -- no
