Even with the small sample size, there is a good bit of validity to this idea based on a number of similar studies done over the past 20 years that have more solid and similar results.

A good friend of mine is an ecotoxicologist and has looked at a number of pharmaceuticals in water and how they affect fishes and other aquatic life. Estrogens are very abundant in many waters largely due to medications that get passed through human bodies and enter wastewater treatment plants and eventually streams and rivers. This has resulted in a high level of intersex fish in some places with some waters having extremely high numbers of black bass having both viable sperm and eggs in their reproductive organs. In some more urban areas, these numbers may be upwards of 70% if memory serves me right.

Another chemical from pharmaceuticals is fluoxetine which is the active ingredient in medications such as Prozac. It is frequently found in rivers and streams around the world. Maybe this explains a lot of society today.

I asked a pharmacist friend of mine how this works and he dumbed it down for me and basically said our bodies need to absorb a certain amount of a chemical to have its medical benefits. However, our body can only absorb a certain proportion therefore medications have way more than we need to absorb to make sure we absorb enough. The remainder is passed through our urine into wastewater treatment and then passed to waterways after settling.

I have wondered how much some of this may be influencing the declines of muskrats across the country. I also wonder if blue-green algae may be resulting in some of the impacts on muskrats as well since the algae can produce neurotoxins under certain conditions.

Last year I started gathering acorns August 10th, so it could be right around the corner.

Interesting article I saw today in an ag publication.

Also, every winter we had a FFA rabbit hunt in Johns Valley. It was a long narrow open sage brush draw. We would line up across the draw and walk a couple miles shooting hundreds of rabbits as we went with shotguns. Good times.

You're bad, Kidd, lol. But I think Willie mispronounced "Christian". lol lol lol

Throw that crap in the garbage and put some poutine on that plate! You understand me?

Ridge runner your facts are wrong. Never baited turkey but have killed my 2 fall Tom's for several years. We are allowed 2 turkey either sex in the fall. Shot a hen once lot of years back but only the one.

Can't use a rifle here but don't need too. I have an abundance of turkey on the farms I can hunt. All it takes is patterning them. Strutter decoys with hens seem to work better for me in the fall then just hens or jakes.

Taking time to watch feeding patterns will help give you a good idea where and when to be set waiting.

Reminds me of the genius that setup multiple long distance companies years ago (when you actually made long distance calls) with names like, "Who Cares", "It Doesn't Matter" and multiple more names of common things said when the operator asked which long distance company you would like.
And they had well above average rates and no arguing that you were duped as the person said the name of the phone company.

Dude raked in money off of people who didn't care, that is until they got a bill

When interviewed the guy said he had no problem sleeping at night because the customer was given the option of choosing which company they wanted.

We have one of those vending machines in the hospital. Most stuff is just out in the open to pick up and pay for and I have not heard one word about losses.
I figured it would have been gone in 2 months or less from losses.

1 I will be at the Minnesota convention on Friday if that helps. I could bring anything.

There’s going to be another manufactured crisis shortly,,,

It’s the only way they’ll be able to justify extremely low interest rates/increasing money supply

I bought 15K at 274.00 18 months ago.. ….
