i think id rather let the bear hit me than absorb the recoil of a .45-70. :-)

lol....nope. up here bears are shot on sight. wolves too. "poachers" (god bless 'em!) are doing what our federal government doesnt have the balls to do (at least in relation to wolves).

I think the ONLY way ANY animal should be on the dinner table, is as an entree.

Cats on the table, that's just unclean. First there is the hair. For Pete's sake, they use their paws to dig in a litter box and then cover their crap up with the same paws then sit on the dinner table?

Just plain disgusting.

Why would you put up with such a thing?

Different people have different ideas of what constitutes cleanliness... Hell, I don't even allow our dog in the house... If the weather if *really* cold, *maybe* I'll put him in a metal crate in the detached garage with a tarp over the crate... It's got to be around freezing though... That doesn't happen much around Houston...

Didn't you have a white Christmas a couple years back? We did!

We have a dog door, but no animals on the kitchen table or the bed.

Nathan,

I'd rather address that question privately.

I honestly don't know, Dave.

I can say I sat through briefings by the JAG on what could, or couldn't be done, before each "exercise".

Spdloader

i did and it got kicked back. apparently my smtp server isnt on your friendly list?

Hmm.

I joined up at the CCF, Can I email you there?

Cabin fever. They make such good company, it breaks my heart to put them on the floor. Hope the snow melts soon...

It's not a question of the government having balls or not. It's just that it's a democratic form of government, and most voters don't want the wolves killed. Politicians or officials who have "the balls" to go against big blocks of voters soon find themselves out of a job.

Earle

Mine too.

I caught a ration of crap today from a friend whom I had just told I had caught a rattlesnake from under our front deck and hauled it off and let it go a couple of miles from my house. "You didn't KILL it!?!" Why should I? It has it's place in the world.

I only kill 'em when I can't possibly remove it from where it is.

First rattler I've seen this year, 5 footer, beautiful specimen, could have been fresh skin it was so vivid in color.

No bears here, but this weekend I'll be in bear country on the Rio Grande out near Sanderson, Texas.

sweet!

absolutely. or you can just click here

to email me.

government is not about a popularity contest. government is doing what you know is right. "most voters" see the pretty pictures of wolves and think theyre cute and want to protect them. "most voters" have never see an entire herd of elk slaughtered with only 1 or 2 eaten with the rest left to rot. if you want to see it, go to

pan down a little more than half way and youll see some of the pictures i put up of what wolves bring.

which is applicable so long as there is a law enforcement officer watching. ive never shot a wolf, but i know that it happens. quite often.
