I'd love to watch a team of dogs work like that too,doing what they love I've been thinking about a badger hunt Yeah it's alot of fun. Too bad so many people have a bad opinion of it through negstive publicity by the anti hunting groups. Every single person I've brought along that was against it came away with a completely different opinion. All of them said it was the most fun they've ever had hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to watch a team of dogs work like that too,doing what they love I've been thinking about a badger hunt lately I don't hunt because I have no patience. We have bear hunters around us up Nth no big deal. But when I pull into my driveway that is marked private drive and I have to wait to have a some bear hunts get out of the way so I can get in my driveway. After that I drive up our driveway to find 2 trucks parked to our yard with nobody in and their following the dogs down one of our lanes. That pisses my off. If I'm up there and you pull up our driveway knock on the door to say your you have some dogs running a bear. Be my guest. But being curtious just like asking permission on a snowmobile trail goes a long way. Edited May 13, 2022 by Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get on the guys in our group pretty hard if they don't respect landowners. 9 out of 10 times if you ask they'll let you get your dogs, if you don't ask you'll have someone pissed that will never forget it. It's stupid not to ask in Wi, if the owner says no you just call the sherriff and they'll come out and go with you to get the dog.

We've left to come home and they have the road blocked when their practicing with the dogs. Being a little more considerate would go a long way in mine (and my wife's) view. Their not all bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt the government is behind lymes and other diseases/sicknesses. Wether it's intentional or accidental I'm not sure, but I'm leaning more towards the intentional side 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen them once in 40 years here - until a couple years ago. Was in woods - creeks - rivers all the time too ...so would have known for sure if they were here.

I don't mind the regular ticks but the deer ticks scare me, hard to see and lymes is no joke. Probly need to find a live in tick checker but that's a whole new set of problems.....probly better to take my chances with lymes🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irv Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Not saying they are going to eradicate them, but possums/opossums are a good thing to have around. Many kill possums because the are ugly but they are 10 times more afraid of humans than we are of them. We had some I seen in our backyard a couple/few years ago but nary one since, since a lot are killed crossing roads too.

Hate to see them dead on the road, I think some people hit them on purpose. They are not very fast. Only seen a couple around....I think my foxes keep them at bay.
