Open fields under fire in another state
A few years ago on opening day of dove season two game wardens came on our farm. They checked hunters twice and drove around our farm. They parked at every visible stand I assume checking for bait which required quite a bit of effort on their part. I was working and saw them coming out and...- VAspeedgoat

Any hog farmers on here?
Be aware that they can lift very heavy stuff. Don't give them any room to get a snout under anything. I would attach the panels to the concrete. They are probably the easiest animal to feed out. You can pretty much give them anything to feed them. Just figure the ration based on grain and...- VAspeedgoat

Bear over bait
I did a spring hunt in Maine with Penobscot guide service. I really liked our guides but only my son got a bear. They handled a 12yo very well and we're considerate of his age. It was a slow spring for bears that year. I think it's been over 50% the following years.- VAspeedgoat

Is he a Bot or a real person?
Not trying to hijak the thread, but I kept wondering. Was Europe real? If not I fell hook line and sinker but I felt like Randi, Panda and Europe were legit.- VAspeedgoat

Wool hunting clothing
Too cheap to spend the money for all wool. It's much better utilized as a base layer. There the natural scent elimination is so nice for extended hunts. The old adage of synthetics stink is still true though scent suppression helps. I do have a 3/4 length blaze orange vest I would never do...- VAspeedgoat

That is why I mentioned the forest warden. Not sure if that's the exact title or just what I call them.- VAspeedgoat

Camping Outside Designated Sites in Wilderness Area [RESOLVED]
This reminds me of the old arument threads about it being lawful/unlawful to park along the interstate to hunt. Topgun and Buzz would go at it for days. I think I would get the name and number of every game Warden or forest warden in the area. I'd also email them for confirmation and save it...- VAspeedgoat
