    That other Rinella fella

    The “focus on hunting for meat” sounds good, I have some of that sentiment myself. But there isn’t enough wildlife to feed very many people as a % in the country. There is a very, very small contingent that actually “hunts to feed their family”, and anyone on this forum that hunts out of...

    What a clown

    Things can get sideways when killing an animal, and this was handled poorly. Beyond stupid for them to have the video made public. When things go wrong, delete the video...that’s the #1 rule of the internet age. Buzz is being overly diplomatic with just a “clown” rating on this one.

    Social security by the numbers

    It’s almost like the federal government should stop reckless spending, and dare I say, be more efficient. At the very least have the balls to fund annual spending/benefits. Shouldn’t be that hard; figure out income, make a budget. If income and spending budget don’t align, make an...

    Screw Worm has returned

    Yes, two things eradicated and came back to us from across the border. I guess open borders aren’t good for people or flys. Although, the screw worm issue isn’t exacerbated by a bunch of anti-vaxxers. Still, only 6 official cases so far; the one in NM the dog was in Mexico last week...

    Screw Worm has returned

    No doubt it’s likely going to be a little rough in the short term, and there will be a run on spray and meds as panic sets in. So far the facts are there are only 5 reported cases, though it will surely increase rapidly as the summer progresses and monitoring increases exponentially. It could...

    Screw Worm has returned

    So there is 100 million/week available out of the Panama facility currently. Those are shipped to a dispersal facility in Edinburgh (Moore AFB) and will be used to spot treat as outbreaks are reported. A facility in Metapa, Mexico will soon be capable of producing 100 million (perhaps...

    Screw Worm has returned

    The USDA completed a distribution facility for sterile flys in South Texas earlier this year, the production facility they are building (also at Moore AFB in Edinburgh, TX) will have the ability to produce 300 million sterile flys/week…in 2027. There will be huge wildlife losses before then...

    Screw Worm has returned

    I’ll give a listen. I was talking with a few old timers this afternoon that remembered when it was bad down here 65 years ago and telling about doctoring calves when they had infestations. Nasty stuff.

    Screw Worm has returned

    The New World screw worm has returned to the US after a 60 year absence. Two cases this week in South Texas, both in calves. Bad news as fawns will hit the ground in the region starting at the end of the month, and an untreated infestation is pretty much 100% fatal for the host animal...

    Son headed to State Championship Bass Tournament

    They struggled at the state tournament. Caught a bunch of fish but not enough scoreable fish to place.

    Honey Hole Found

    At the confluence of No Name Creek and RoCk cREeK you will find the best hunting in the lower 48. Might be one man already there though, and he is a legend.

    2026 Colorado Draw Results

    Was expecting my daughter to draw a first season elk tag, last year it drew down to 2 points, 3 points wasn’t enough this year. I guess it will be OTC elk in CO this year unless Nevada’s .01% odds come through tomorrow. First world problems.
