wow... i was looking at the 2006 regulations. hand me a fork... i'll eat it. my apologies fellas. and to think, i missed a day hunting.

December hunts started on the 14th, might want to check the regs before making a post like that. Peace Word up to that. Jet, remove foot from mouth now. cut and pasted from the regs. 1106 Dec 15 - Dec 31, 2006 (11) 34A Antlered whitetail deer 150 i thought it was strange to wait until saturday to start bowhunting. maybe my regs are wrong. if so i sincerely apologize. -jet

i thought that hunt didn't start until the 15th? you may want to change the subject line of the post.

nobody likes illegal immigration. nobody. but i for one disagree with any type of government mandate that passes costs along to another entity. why increase a business's costs by mandating compliance with something the federal government should already be doing? last time i looked at my paycheck i already saw about 30% disappear. doesn't some of that already pay to secure the border? yet now I have to pay an additional tax in the form of a $7 big mac or whatever it turns out to be, because the feds won't do what they are required by the constitution to do? business owners shouldn't have to worry about who they are hiring, because the federal government is responsible to secure the border and thereby ensure a clean labor pool. this isn't about cheating and lowering costs by paying substandard wages, whether businesses do or not is debatable at best, it's about a governmental agency that refuses do it's job, yet continues to demand taxes as if they do. then they pass on an additional, hidden tax to have someone else do what they were supposed to be doing all along. i don't like it. and $5 big macs sell at sports venues only because there's not free market competition at the sports venue and they don't let you bring food in from where there is. stop illegal immigration. just do it the way it's supposed to be done, the way most countries, including mexico do it, not by mandating businesses. it's really quite easy, as i think TAM put it. use the tax dollars we are already required to pay to build a border fence (imported from china) and whatever else needs to be done, hire more agents, change legal immigration laws, build a virtual fence, invest in technology to help, quit securing the borders of south korea and germany and iraq and wherever else we are and use the most powerful military in the history of this earth to secure our own borders.

less profit for employers means less jobs for workers. simple as that. added costs to employers get passed on as increased costs to consumers. and i don't mean that illegals get paid less than legals. sometimes they do, sometimes they don't... it all depends on what they do. there are other costs with complying with this law that employers face (a la oxley-sorbanes) .... those costs get passed on too. people who think this law is going to solve the problem have no idea what it's like to run a business. they should try it. illegals are the scapegoat in a stalling economy. nobody was concerned or complaining when they were having their "investment" homes built for "reasonable" prices two years ago. hope you all enjoy your $7 big macs, while you buy all your chinese crap from walmart cos employers don't pay you a liveable wage. free markets always demand lowering costs, employers do it. consumers do it. this problem is over-complicated for this political cool aid you all are drinking.

i'm not sure about a 426 bull, this one scored 411 with a busted 5th tine. this is a friend of mine. they also showed the governors tag and got a 420+ bull.

i am new to the discussion forum, but have been reading it for several months. i was given my first coues in december with a rifle, but am a bowhunter at heart and am dying to get my first deer with a bow. i have been reading where you guys are making scrapes. can anyone give me more information on how to make one? i am spending the remainder of the january hunt in a ground blind near water tanks, and i was hoping to set up a few scrapes as well. i picked up at sportsmans this estrus urine and buck semen scent pack, but am not sure if it works or even goes into making a scrape. i'm grateful for any help you guys can give me.
