NFL Draft Predictions - a pointless game, but at least it has a $$ prize for the winner
No list here, but I predict the Vikings foolishly mortgage away their next 3 years of draft stock in an aggressive trade to pick the #4 (or even #3 🙄) QB of the draft, when they could have just taken advantage of the once-in-a-decade deep QB draft, and casually drafted Penix at 11, or even trade...- Pucky Freak

Stop Blaming Conservation Orgs
I would gladly make the same exchange, but crowding and poor draw odds appear to be in lockstep with a political environment unfavorable to hunting. True. Build it and they will come, though. More animals and more access creates more hunters and more advocacy for hunting. The best chance at...- Pucky Freak

Stop Blaming Conservation Orgs
What if hunter numbers are a function of access, and satisfaction of the experience? We’re already maxed out. It could be that the only ways to increase hunter numbers are to boost access and game populations. We can recruit 1 million new hunters tomorrow and in 1 year a million have dropped out...- Pucky Freak

Stop Blaming Conservation Orgs
Lifetime BHA member. R3 is a ruse. It primarily benefits gear manufacturers. Secondarily it benefits G&F departments, influencers, and conservation organizations. It’s not clear to me if it is a boon or a bane for wild places and wildlife. Some prominent conservation orgs have developed a...- Pucky Freak

The Devil's Lettuce
From the new HR lady: “I came from the private sector where Human Resources is employee-centric. What the hell is going on here?”- Pucky Freak

The Devil's Lettuce
I am not a sworn officer; I do work in public safety. Some observations “from the field” in IA: -DA’s/ by and large no longer prosecute MJ-related crimes, with exceptions of offenses associated w/ other crimes (e.g. sex offenders luring or drugging children), and cooperation in multi-agency...- Pucky Freak

The Devil's Lettuce
Similar to many folks who came of age during Prohibition, I was pretty well indoctrinated through the anti-drug messaging of the 1990’s, which included MJ. I doubt I will ever turn the corner on the subject. Objectively, I’ve seen many persons with medical conditions benefit from treatment with...- Pucky Freak

Extra Stupid Window Stickers
I got picked up by a car like this when I was hitchhiking in Georgia. The guy spent 10 mins digging out a person-size hole for me to perch on before I got in. Real nice guy!- Pucky Freak

2024 Turkey Season!
Wrapped up at noon, 15 birds seen, at least 11 unique. 5 jakes at 85, they seemed wary and didn’t come in. Toms were henned up the whole time. Earlier in the week I hunted one of my fall spots. Saw 6 birds feeding on the way in but I pushed forward too close and got busted. Later called in 2...- Pucky Freak

2024 Turkey Season!
4 AM wake-up call. Mile hike in with full packs. We listened to the roost gobbles for about a half hour and she fell asleep. I woke her up to watch a couple strutters through the binos. Hopefully later this AM they get restless and check out our decoys 🦃- Pucky Freak

yep. They look like they might be over ripe though. If the pores on the bottom have opened up already, the edible meaty top part can be too rubbery by that point.- Pucky Freak
