Striped bass fishing. I no longer participate. Theanged. I am unfamiliar with the use of circle hooks and do not prefer them. I have never utilized them. The current size gap and length limit restrictions make it difficult for me to keep a fish. Consequently, I have discontinued fishing for them. Ideally, I would prefer a tagging system, similar to a Bass Tag, which would enable me to tag and keep the fish of my choice. I would be satisfied with a limited number of tags, and I would be willing to purchase them.

I had deer in the yard. It used to be just a couple around all the time with no bait. Probably 30 deer come around with bait. I am waiting for a buck. Their outdoor pet cat appeared to have been stepped on. I felt bad. I shot a couple of does and called it done. I did not even want the meat from those deer. I could not even open the fridge without thinking about the cat. The cat was my fault due to having too many deer around the yard.

I think right now I'm in that position where it's been a while that I could use a different job??

I almost joined the Army before I was to old. Electrical starting E-4 starting pay... I should have gone.

Not move
Not club
Not more friends.
Not hunting buddy
Not forum chat room

A different job.
You Make less.. but work all year equals the same money... and your happy.

Electrical work here is challenging. We're not all the same people sometimes in the Trade here. It's Different here. Electrical work here is best done independently. You usually have to investigate who you're working with to know what topics to avoid discussing beforehand. Like the dark kid at work once, he didn't smoke, was against smoking anything, and was anti everything. I didn't think he was one of those individuals. They wanted me to undergo a drug test. I told my company no, they asked about the dark kid they sent with me, and I replied that he didn't need a drug test. I thought I had him to talk to among everyone else. I think what surprised me was discovering his true nature and saying he was a certain type of person, which made him extremely mad, and that's what did it.

I understand. In his eyes, I was perceived as an enthusiastic hunter, fisher, and gun owner who also smoked marijuana. I gathered that impression. The situation didn't appear promising. Typically, I attempt to establish a connection through golf, but in this case, it was unsuccessful, despite my initial assumption that he might be an avid golfer, similar to Tiger Woods. I then tried discussing fishing, but that also proved unsuccessful. Consequently, I avoided hunting as a topic. When I inquired about his smoking habits, the conversation became more animated. I then asked if he was... I did mention that I wasn't racist and was attempting to be friendly. The previous day, I had given him a ride home in my truck after our safety class, but I struggled to find common ground due to my uncertainty about his background.

encountered an individual with anti-gun sentiments at a store. They inquired about firearms, and I responded affirmatively. They posed several questions, which I addressed. They mentioned having concerns stemming from unfamiliarity with guns. They inquired about trying shooting a gun. I provided guidance on how to proceed, emphasizing that experiencing it firsthand would provide clarity. Option one involved visiting a public shooting range, which would likely not be enlightening. Option two entailed taking a class, obtaining a permit, joining a club, and speaking up to try shooting a gun before deciding whether to own one. I consider this approach superior. They agreed. I recalled hearing anecdotes about anti-gun individuals joining gun clubs, obtaining permits, and ultimately becoming gun enthusiasts. I wondered if these stories inspired my suggestion. I offered to accompany them but noted that doing so would not convey my point effectively, emphasizing that personal experience is essential.

They take this class.. meet the class.

They meet the prosses. The cops.

Then they gotta find call and go to a club..

By the the time they shot that gun for the first time. It's a garentee I think there a gun person.

My hunting season lasted maybe 20 minutes. Saw a deer through the window, picked up my 1876 Winchester .45-60, opened the door, shot the deer, hauled it about 20 yards to the meat pole.

To be honest, I am not satisfied with the deer hunt. I am considering the use of bait, but simultaneously, I am hesitant about it. I am unsure why I have reservations about using bait. My options include installing more cameras, hanging on stands, or relying on luck during the two-week gun season. During bow season, I intend to hunt rabbits and pheasants. Following the two-week gun season, I plan to resume hunting rabbits. I am contemplating discontinuing deer hunting. However, I am hesitant to invest a substantial amount of money in cameras and stands without any guarantee of success. Deer hunting is the only type of hunting that tempts me to disregard rules, which is unsettling.

I had a buck you wouldn't belive in the yard.. I lost my mind everynight.

I couldn't do it... belive it or not. It was because if I did I couldn't look at it as a trophy in a way. And i was to scared to try. I kept thinking hoping for the daylight chance at it.

I watched a season of monster in the Backyard every night.

A herd of 13-15 reside in my neighborhood. In my back yard all night, generally bedded down, they leave at daybreak when work traffic racket picks up. This morning took the dog out and two were still hanging around. It was a nice 8 point with a funky tall upright rack and a doe, uhh, how shall I put this... getting friendly.

eta: too early for rut around here i would think, but it is what it is

I think the State should use dogs.

State dogs the Warden.. before the seasons they go in and run these deer out of these yards and all..

Mix them up.. stirring them around.

We can't do anything if these deer Are there anyway. Backyards..

The population around game land could be nothing.. all the houses around loaded with deer.

Only one dog. Warden nock on the door. Can we chase the deer away.
 
I think we have allot of neighborhood that want the deer chased away.

There nice yards and all.. the landscapers always get permission to hunt.

To be honest. I'm not happy with the deer hunt.

I kinda want to use bait. I don't want to use bait. I don't know why I don't like bait and here.

My options are.
More cameras?
Hang on stands.
Hope for some luck 2 week gun.

Bow season I want to hunt rabbit Pheasant.

Gun season two weeks then I can go back to rabbit.

I think I'm going to stop Deer hunt.

No.. I don't want to spend a bunch of money for cameras and stands and then you still see no deer. But I think maybe maybe I'll have better luck with all that and I'll like 2 weeks deer.

Deer hunting is the only hunting that makes me want to break rules to get one. I don't like that.

I'm too crippled up to go out and hunt the bush anymore. Bait here consists of the grass in your yard, and the shrubs. Baiting deer is illegal here. The biggest bucks I have killed are right here at home on my own property.

I suggest a garden..

Plant Turnips.. a couple rows.

Plant everything for them to learn it.. couple rows of tomatoes there going to chew them up so grow them like a forest...

Then when to turnips are ready I think. That's around when the bucks looking for food.. it's a time thing.

Only thing I heard work better than corn.

That's what I would try..

And get some apple trees started.

I don't know if either of these are options for you. But that's what I'd be thinking with more land and deer around.

No need for any of that, deer travel in herds here, and there are plenty available.
 
My son doesn't like to read. It's always a battle.. he just brought home all this school work he didn't do at school.

He just threw his school work and started a fight about the TV and phone.

He will test at a high level. So he can read. Math is a high level and he will do the math.

My wife works with him on it.

We're not school teachers here at home.

I don't know how to tell or teach him what he's not learning. That he won't be able to sit down and read a book and enjoy it. you'll always just find the info and skip everything else.

An apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
 
They tried to say he was Atistic.

I thought that was funny when he passed at the high level.

I was like that's good. Maybe we go to Vagas. Make a living playing with cards. Little Rain man



Was thinking of teaching him the Italian card game's.. maybe the Asian ones to.

They used to play that game all night at the hunting camp. I was a Rudolf, and they wouldn't let me participate in any games. I used to ask to play all the time, but they would say no, then offer to play Scopa instead, saying I could play Scopa. I would decline, stating I wanted to play Tressette. After winning at Scopa a few times and ultimately beating the group, one of them played me one-on-one in Tressette, and I won. He then stated that's why I wasn't allowed to play. I figured Grandma had taught me too much, which they knew.
