While I'm not sure that is economically viable, I do believe people here raise bison, and maybe some form of deer, but not whitetail to my knowledge, for commercial meat. Farm raised animals are looked at under a different prism than wildlife.   There is something to be said for a relatively safe public food supply. Ecoli, botulism, etc. come to mind.

Again, I'm not defending these laws, I'm simply trying to explain my understanding of them.   Are you implying we shouldn't have any laws that criminals don't obey? I'm not sure I'm following your logic here.   Want to see some tough laws to follow? Get a fishing guide. :rant:

There's some good advice above. I'd add Graf and Sons to the list. They have a flat rate shipping charge whether you order one box or a tractor trailer load. $7.95 I believe it is.

Beaver is a furbearing animal and not classified as large game.   Deer were all but extinct here not long ago. I do not recall any TWRA effort to repopulate beavers.

I'm not necessarily defending this law, I'm just trying to explain what I believe to be the logic behind it. 

My home county is devoid of navigable water.

I'm guessing this has more to do with wildlife protection and curtailing poaching.

Am I the last guy here to know about this place? WOW!!! :stunned: My wife isn't gonna be happy. https://www.knivesshipfree.com/

Secure your heater to your forehead with a bandanna. :up:

KY jelly is my personal favorite.   I once listened all day to a guy who was a bolt expert talk about bolts. The one and only thing I brought away from that fascinating sermon was "The larger your shaft, the better grade lubricant you need".   That's my extent of grease knowledge. :D Hope it helps.

That's a nice one!!!

I hunt and fish, so it isn't a thing for me. I'm probably ahead of where I'd be if they separated the two. I just think it sucks for people who only do one or the other.

  On the body carry is definitely better, but if you can't get em to do that, purse carry beats unarmed in my opinion.

Those are an interesting idea. I hadn't seen them before this thread.

You don't have to be a gun nut to practice a handful of safety rules.

Women versus men. Oh boy!   Men and women have differing thought processes. Women tend to make decisions based on emotion, while men are more likely to make the same decision with a calculator.   Women want to talk about problems while men want to either solve them or forget them.   On average, men are larger and stronger than women.   None of this makes one better than the other; I just want to point out they are, in fact, different.   Having said that, we are also the same in a lot of ways. 10 fingers, 2 legs, 2 eyes, etc. I never have understood the idea of a "woman's gun", whether it be for hunting, target shooting, self protection, etc.   My wife and I shoot and carry the same stuff. I always thought that if a 243 Win would make a good deer rifle for a woman, I ought to be able to use one to good effect as well.

My son and I each have one in 50 caliber muzzleloader and love them. I wouldn't hesitate to try one in a centerfire caliber.

One can easily make an AK full auto with a paper clip if he wanted to. This was actually quite disconcerting as my son was firing it at the time. He sure had a smile on his face after it was over, however.

The hunter safety course is free of charge!   A more apt name for it would be firearm safety course, as it actually has very little to do with hunting. I understand where you're coming from Blake, but here, if it weren't for the efforts of the TWRA, we wouldn't have anything to hunt.   When I was a kid, someone seeing a deer was rare enough it often got a mention in the local newspaper, and turkeys were non existent here. People had simply killed them out. Without regulation, this would no doubt happen again.

19 negligent discharges reported in one year? How many do you think went unreported? I know there's a bunch of LASD deputies, but at this rate, they probably shouldn't be allowed to carry a firearm.

The hunter safety program should be mandatory in public school if our government were serious about gun safety.   This would be much more useful than 12 years of diagramming sentences.

I got it from someone on here, but for the life of me, I can't recall who. Bought it in the Kroger's parking lot in Lebanon. It went full auto on me when the trigger pin walked out. A set of extra long pins fixed it, and it's been perfect since. It also came with a folding stock, original brake, bayonet, gas piston, and an assortment of other goodies.

I got a new pair of Leupold binoculars. I picked them our, so no surprise. You get what you want this way. I learned my lesson with the gigantic Poulan chainsaw I got for a birthday present a few years back. :rofl:

I'd be looking for a rash of the cr@p in the coming year.
