Still here.

Not trying to argue about all of this. I just honestly do not believe the new check in system will make any significant change.

There WILL be a few people who abuse the new system, but a new...

I was using one of those old climbing stands that essentially was just a platform with a sharp blade on...

I get what you are saying BB. Starting numbers have to come from somewhere.

But something in the way this study was done just does not clickwith me. For example, in the numbers you used in your...

Numbers are funny (especially to me). They are funny because when you do examples like the buck:doe ratio, everything depends on the numbers you use when you start.

Those are some pretty extreme assumptions, but it is interesting.


Here is the problem we have in my part of Virginia. When I was growing up I was told that it was not a good idea to shoot a doe...
