Tough thinking about what this could do if it gets enough traction and was spun/sold to the masses within the idea it's so great, it has bipartisan support. In a political climate where there is none, it could be easily sold as the one thing that can be agreed on. Once that dam has it's first...
Just finished episode 2 of this series with Kim Thorburn. As someone who feels like a closet birder in the hunting community and a closet hunter in the birding community, many hunters would be shocked how many birders are actually great, well educated, open minded, common sensed people. Have...
Wildlife is politics. Been that way as long as humans have felt the hunger pains of empty bellies and needed to feed themselves. The idea that it isn't political, is, in and of itself, delusional. All for trying to manage off of the best interest of wildlife and the resources alone. But at best...
Really cool when the system refreshes at 8 seconds after 11, from 10:50 something, there's nothing left on the list from the reissued tags. How is that even possible that not one tag shows up on the leftover list?
People get shot in the whitetail woods wearing full blaze orange. Blaze orange can help, but it doesn't dig down to the root of the problem. In Minnesota if memory serves me right there's been someone shot off a horse and a running, moving 3 wheeler in the not to distant past. And most...
What a shame.
Goes without saying, don't shoot at sound, color or movement, ever, period!
With unit 71 there's no either sex muzzled loader tags i could find and there's antler point restrictions in place so you can't shoot a spike. So how did he know it was a legal bull or cow if he had...
Interesting stuff!
Gatekeeper, stupid question, were those bucks shot in the same general area? Genetics and forage growth are fascinating. Watch whitetails in a field behind our house and am amazed at what deer herds do when they are WAY over carrying capacity. Some deer are huge, others just...
What's MP's stance on fair chase methods, within forcefully advocating for subsistence acquiring food, be it mammals or fish? A lot of subsistence food gathering rarely resembles hunting to me personally. Not against it, just wondering what's ethical and what is not in MP's viewpoint?
What's...
Hunting seems doomed either way, this thread is proof of that.
If I had my way I'd lock the borders of mn down to any nr fishermen, especially those from Iowa. Stay in your own state and fish for the Iowa walleye, the bullhead.
Not really sure taking the dbag youtubers out the equation would...
Minnesota has lost over half its waterfowl hunters, and for good reason. There's birds to be had but little to no consistency.
Draw a circle within 2 hrs of the twin cities and forget about most of those areas.
The se part of the state has the Mississippi river, but it's crowded and prone to...
