I figured that some Mexican had told you a whopper about possums breeding bobcats to make chupacabras or something.

When you catch a white bass the walleye run is over.

Only one Deer rut and its only in the beginning of Nov.

You have to sit in a tree to kill a deer.

A number of years ago, the Pennsylvania Game Commission secretly brought in Western coyotes in tractor trailer loads and released them on Interstate 80 at night to control the deer population.

I believe there is only one deer rut, dates depend on region and it is caused by length of daylight. Just my humble thoughts. Some deer will start a little later than others of course.

You can manage genetics in a wild herd of deer or “cull” bucks.


Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

Yes but they do not go into heat untill the fall period of the year (in the midwest amd northern states). If not bred the cycle will repeat untill so, but will eventually stop. Nature dont want a deer raising young in the winter. A bucks testoterone levels peak at a certain time (the same time every year) as well. A doe will generally go into heat within a few days of the same time she started last year, again it has to do with length of daylight.

Rattlesnakes, game n fish transplanting them by dropping Mylar balloons out of the airplane. Story goes a rancher in the southern part of the state is out fixing fence and sees a low flying airplane pass by. Later in the day he came across a mylar balloon stuck on the fence. As he took the balloon off the fence, he realized he was standing right next to a small rattlesnake. He put two and two together and drove to the nearby Airport. Sure enough there's the game and fish plane.

Now my biologist friend (RIP) narrates the story as he told it to me. This rancher comes to the plane and he is HOT! Cursing and screaming like a wild man. So I get out of the plane and ask what's wrong. He tells me that he is on to our plot to endanger his livestock, pets, children and his very life by stocking rattlesnakes by dropping them out of the plane inside mylar balloons. Nothing I say can dissuade him but as the rant continues he mentions he ain't making any money at this and you so and so's want to see him standing in the soup line with your blankety blank rattlesnake program....so, I mentioned that if he needed cash, we were hiring. Right away the rancher asks how much do I pay. $5\hour. This being the early 1980's the rancher responds that sounds pretty good, what do I have to do. Well you figured out our plot and the pilot has to be away tomorrow so I am stuck flying the plane - all you have to do is blow up the balloons, stuff the buzzworm inside, tie it shut and drop them.

He said the ranchers eyes sprung open with about a thousand question that his brain wouldn't let him ask. All he could muster was a few muffled curse words and a slow saunter back to truck.
