Why do we need to pay any taxes? Our government spends money they don’t have, they just print more and therefore devalue every dime you have previously saved. It wouldn’t hurt to take your money from them since they are the only people that can spend money they don’t have.

Congratulations Al, nice deer!

I have a 54” PSR and a 56” PCH. Most of my bows in the past were at least 62”. I have zero difficulty shooting the shorter bows as well as my longer rigs. And they are far more pleasant to hunt with, though I never really thought the longer bows were a problem before. For sure, for under...

Congratulations Al!

Dandy John! Congrats to all of the killers!

Per Mike Rex; Jesse did an outstanding job of articulating his points. Well done, Jesse!

No, they are extremely rare. Ask any anti-hunter, particularly the ones the DOW is afraid of. They are a frightening bunch and the very reason ODNR is afraid to get them stirred up by instituting a season on the short-tailed varmint.

A great man, some consider him a genius, once declared, “You can’t kill ‘em if they aren’t there.” I’ve got faith in you. Killing the last is a far greater challenge than killing the biggest.

In medical terms, is that what you folks call a gunt?

Maybe, or people are more aware. Having dealt with it here a number of times, I am thrilled to see more people taking notice. In ‘12, ‘18, and ‘22, I was pretty darn frustrated to know the scope of devastating in my neighborhood and yet no one seemed to care enough to report it. I see...

We had the same situation here in 2018. All the puddles, which were everywhere, created a lot of new midge habitat.

Doc Sims is a friend and neighbor. He told me earlier this week he saw his first case of EHD in 2000. He has been a practicing DVM since 1974. He said cattle that are affected by it enough to warrant a call to him are generally in poor health prior to EHD infection. It does not noticeably...

There is no doubt we could do better. The issue is there is no desire to do better from those that are in control.

I can tell you Seth and I did some surveys for metro parks. We did not work for 55/hour. It was a substantially higher rate. He enlisted the help of a GIS friend to lay out all the information in a concise format. It was very impressive finished product. The directors of the parks were...
