Can this be made larger?

[Mo1]

Someone mention on that thread about how Hilda hunts ducks

I couldn't help but think of that goose hunting story you told the other day

I can just picture Hilda getting dumped on .. ROFLMBO

[lodwick]

Thanks for the reckoning - it would appear the good old 80/20 rule is alive and kicking. ;-)

MM's, the DD's want in, I don't mind, but we should make a decision.

Deer are another problem when the mushy headed and Peta Hearted libs get involved. You have those really big deer in PA that can ruin a car or serious maim passengers/drivers who hit a deer at night.

The disease potential of too many ducks and geese in small water areas has been overlooked or avoided for a decade plus.

Many infectious disease doctors feel that our new flu each year comes on the backs of migrating ducks/geese from Mainland China. The birds pick up the viruses and keep them while they do a Trans Siberian/Alaska migration. Then they pass those viruses to the honkers and other Alaska waterfowl which migrate down south and to the east. When we get exposed to those viruses, we catch the new flu or at least pass it on to those we come into contact with.

Don't forget the West Nile Virus problem we have also

Yep the dear are pretty big and a big problem .. it is also hard to grow flowers or trees because they eat them all

Some of the neighbors have even put cages around their trees to keep the dear away

[lodwick]

Thanks Dave - is that a shrimp he's eating? bbl
Keep having fun with all of it guys. ;-)

[Mo1]

Ok .. got it .. Need to head our again .. BBL

One of the most awesome sights in North California is when a flock of several thousand Canadian Geese or Snow Geese try to land where your blind is. However, it only takes one experience to learn that you never look straight up at them.

As it seems that if you fire the gun straight up and hit one of their fellow geese, there is a rapid fire dropping of you know what by that flock.

I kidded my son about his first goose kill during his Father's Day call yesterday. Now he can laugh at it.

Besides the West Nile potential, there is the reality of Lyme disease and its relationship to Bambi safe zones on the East Coast. Most people don't die from Lyme disease, however, there are times that they are so miserable, they want to die.

About 10 years ago, we had an overage of Deer. They ate everything including 50 of my wife's 51 roses. Many roses in their prime, of about 10 years of age. When deer eat off the buds and you don't lop 5 to 6 inches below on the stem where the deer ate the buds, the rose will probably die.

My wife lost 50 roses, and we moved her one surviving trophy rose up on the deck by our door to keep the deer away.

We came back from a dinner party. A few minutes later our sensor lights came on. She was in the MBR, and I heard her cussing and yelling. A minute later she was walking by me with my 357 cursing the deer heading for the patio door.

I talked her out of shooting my 357 in town and waking up half of the town. I took a pellet gun as she slid the door open and popped the deer's butt. It made a world's record leap off the deck into and over the bushes about 15 feet away.

We had a bunch of friends who hunted deer with bows and arrows come over to pop these critters during bow season. They got 3 including the one I popped with the pellet gun. We got the back strap and it was great, should have been with a pure rose bud diet.

Our neighbors went ballistic and turned the guys into the cops who said that it was legal as they had licenses and valid archery tags. Two neighbors are still mad at me.

Could be a shrimp or the fish is one of those that gives birth to live babies. They swallow the eggs, and the eggs hatch, when the baby fish are big enough they swim out.

[lodwick]

Great story and info - thank you.

Won't you give to Free Republic?

[xsmommy]

i vote to be non-discriminatory and allow dads!

This chart can't be right. Are you telling me that 14 people from North Dakota gave a combined total of $5.00? What did they do, send in their pennies and nickels that they found on the street? California must have been sending in mostly Fruit Loops and Cheerios that they found in their couches, because the average Cali sent in about 3 cents.

[WIMom]

Post #3 was from the never never land auction. Texas won the funds from the unknown state and it was added to their total. I've posted several updates with the entire list, check this post.

Congrtulations to you and the entire team on a very successful FReepathon!

[Grampa Dave]

JL, this appears to be a live bearer fish. Look just below its left pectorial fin. There are two baby fish right there. The third one is on its way out of the fish's mouth.

Since most adult fish will eat their own babies, I can guarantee you that baby fish will not be calmly swimming around an adult unless it is a live bearer.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Right on, I figured something was up when I saw that. Thanks!
