You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

My wife is ticked off because they decimated a bush in the front yard that we spent a long time pruning/cleaning up in June. It looked great until the invasion happened.

Estimate our resident population to be between 100 - 150 elk. Within my sight last evening there were over 60. Not a lot of deer, but we have a bachelor group of about 8 nice ones, with 3 of them what I consider trophy class.

Assuming those are NM pics. Also assuming you won’t get to hunt any of them?

Well..... Our camp (536 acres) is in the village limits, but we have a 1.25 mile border to the national forest. If I can draw a tag next year then I know where they travel. I'm also working on getting an exemption from the village to allow us to get the NMDGF to authorize a couple of "Ranch Only" tags so we can manage the herd. We used to have the ability, but a cranky old neighbor was on the village council at the time and got our permit rescinded. I can be pretty persuasive and have been doing a lot of research. We will see how it goes.

My boss wants meat, I could harvest several as far as she is concerned as long as some gets delivered to Albuquerque for her and her family. Of coursem I need to buy a few freezers then. ha ha ha

Right. Because when they mow they also poop.


My wife wants me to wear a bracelet that belonged to her grandfather. It says, "Do Not Resuscitate".

I'm just out of large numbers of elk but get them through here every year. That is a great picture.


Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime
