I don't think we'll ever secure it, because we do nothing to cure the illness, but rather spend all our resources trying to cure the symptoms of the illness. It's like giving cough drops to someone that has pneumonia in their lungs. On the drug side of it: there's a demand here. As long as there is a market for any item, somebody will step forward to fill that demand. You have to get rid of the demand. How? Beats me. Heroin use is up something like 400% over the last 10 years, everybody is doing it now. Soccer moms & dads with middle class office jobs. It's not a problem with only the poor. People get hooked on prescription drugs and when they can't get or can't afford those they move on to the cheaper stuff. Figure out how to fix that and you're a nobel prize winner for sure. On the labor side, what power have we to fix Mexico's corruption & economy? They have to do it or it will continue to be a problem. In the mean time, we'll just keep swatting flies instead of cleaning up the poop pile they're feeding on out in the yard.

PF Changs Oolong Marinated Seabass, With Catfish!
mattys281 replied to CatfishKev's topic in Cooking Wild Foods
Well, I guess thats a lesson why you should always stereotype people, so as not to offend someone. -
Good call. Can be used for carp fish or carp deer, take your pick.

Wages should be set by supply and demand, not the government. The cheap labor flooding across the border has a lot more to do with Mexico's chit economy and crime than it does with anything that is going on in the US. We're not getting flooded by illegal Canadians are we? The US/Canada border is less secure than the Mexican border, in some spots it's nothing more than a sign nailed to a tree. If Mexicans could earn a decent living an not have to live under fear of kidnappings, murder and extortion, they'd likely state put. They cross the border now because the potential reward out weighs the risk involved. The more I think about it, the more I think we don't need a wall, we need to start throwing sanctions and tariffs at Mexico until they militarize THEIR side of the line. That country does nothing but profit off of our soft leadership, and as far as I can see they don't even give a thing back to their people. It'd be really nice to see somebody other than the American tax payer foot the bill for their own problems at least once in my lifetime, but I'm sure this won't be that instance.

Mulepacker, if you can get in close, but not quite shooting close, you should really try calling to them. I have an 8 dollar fawn bleater that I always carry arround my neck with my compass and its brought dozens of deer from over 100 to less than 30. Just make sure you're well hidden and they are not already suspicious. If they're already on to you, it wont work, but if theyre feeding or bedded and have no idea youre around, I've had them come in so fast I thought for sure I was about to get ran over. Its worth a try.

The man does have an acute nose for money...... and hot tail.

Awesome buck, congrats. Those january deer are always bittersweet but now it frees you up to put in for Colorado mulies or otc blacktails in cali. Good start to a great year!

Im sure you guys hear some pretty funny/rediculous/radical ideas.

Casey, i couldnt argue with that a bit. Nobody deserves to be gunned down for fleeing that hellhole down south. That comment however seemed directed at everybody's opinion, not one persons specifically. I gotta tell you, I pay a lot in taxes. More than a lot of people even make. I have a right to know where it goes and to have an opinion on it. If somebody/anybody from the gov wants to tell me I shouldnt have a say in it, they can go pound sand, because its my money thats being spent. Aside from that, I have no problem with you and am sorry for my comment about a government employee. You guys have a tough job and im sure you are often handcuffed by pc bs coming from the higher ups in Washington. It has to be frustrating. Be safe out there.
-
Interesting. Thats also the same look the tax paying public gives a bottom rung government employee that thinks nobody else is qualified to have an opinion. Get over yourself.

I did it once at the place out in buckeye. It was fun but not terrifying like everyone thinks it will be. Really no more exciting than a fast rollercoaster.
-
Wow! What a woman you found. Im working on trying to get my wife more into the game, but its a slow process. Congrats to her on the fantastic first archery deer and congrats to both of you on the great family and new baby!
-
Man, you are getting some great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
-
Nice! Go put an arrow in one.

Armed people from another country crossing an international border and shooting at citizens of the other country.... is this not the very definition of an invasion? The fed needs to quit screwing around and let the military fight & win this war.
-
Nets are for fish, not deer. Thats a 191 inch buck. Awesome deer!
-
Sneaker: you are the man! Congrats on another awesome muley.
-
You had enough muleys already? We got on a nice 4x4 this am, but couldnt put anything together on him. Made two attempts to get In front of him and cut him off but both times we were too slow and ended up running right into him and his gals. He was quite the stud cruising around with 6 does all to himself. Nearest I got to him was 140 yards.

UPDATE: Hoghntr Jr has arrived and we couldnt be happier. :)
mattys281 replied to hoghntr's topic in The Campfire
Real happy for you hoghunter. Such an exciting time. Look forward to seeing some pics when the little man arrives. -
Awesome buck! Thats one to be proud of, big congrats!

I had that vortex spotter for one trip. Image was very fuzzy around the edges and it drove me nuts, so it was returned as soon as I got home.

I've only ever drawn 2 elk tags in this state and am currently sitting on 6 points. It gets pretty tiresome, no doubt about it. The last couple years I started going on out of state hunts instead of burning valuable vacation days on crap limited-op hunts here in az. Had a great time in Nebraska in 2015 and was able to tag out, and got skunked up in Colorado in 2016, but was able to hunt in beautiful country and still had a great time. If I don't draw anything good this year I'll either head back to Nebraska or maybe over to northern cali to try for a blacktail deer. The draw isn't getting me down anymore.

+1 Love to get a look at the guy who dropped that.

You should call an ambulance right after you start first aid, then the police and finally the lawyer. Calling your lawyer first would be used against you in court. The fact that this would increase your legal fees is likely why it was suggested by your lawyer "friend" in the first place. I don't think 'friend' is the right word for someone that charges you $300/hr for their advice and the pleasure of their company. I also don't think the comment was intended to literally mean you should let someone bleed out in your kitchen while you flip through the yellow pages looking for a lawyer. The point I took away from it was that if you're in a sticky situation, you'd best keep your mouth shut until you get to talk to someone who's job it is to help you, rather than sing like a canary to someone who's job it is to arrest and/or prosecute you.
