Study: Hunters Die After Consuming CWD-Infected Venison
fishinwrench replied to BilletHead's topic in Conservation Issues
I know that "they" say that fully cooking does not kill the prion........ but how is that? What other form of life on this planet can survive FIRE ? Oh wait, it's a PROTEIN 🤔 Guess that complicates things, hu ? Blinded by SCIENCE! 🫣 -
Yeah well, welcome to the club. 😅 Family don't get awarded court ordered judgements ! 😁 Just be glad that you don't get emails like THESE ! Gotta pay them to also get emails like THESE !

She might have debts of her own to worry about.

The Jehovah Witness gals are obviously not trying hard enough. If they REALLY want you to follow them, then they should TAKE OFF SOME FRIGGIN' CLOTHES before knocking on your door !!!! 😉👍

South Carolina Reports, Ongoing

My God, that's an ugly looking thing. The first person to eat one must have been in fear of starving to death. 😅 -
Queen of the crawdad boil 😳 Kinda scary imagining her in a courtroom, or coming at you with a broken beer bottle !
-
The part that irritates me the most is that everyone ignored the FIRST law that was broken......Which was underage kids aquiring Tito's Vodka and getting wasted. Could have been a really good lesson WHY there are such laws. But now it's ok for kids to be hammered and obnoxious....and everyone has to babysit their drunken @$$£s, and make sure they get home safely. 🙄

Those look sexy 👍 I tried for years to find the best (ace in the hole) Crawdad fly, and although it makes no sense to me.....as soon as I quit trying to split the pinchers, and added silicone legs I hit paydirt. I hope that your results are different, but here are my 2 best producers.

I don't wanna type for 55 minutes. And that's what it would take to bring you up to speed. 😅

Like going from a 2-stroke to a 4-stroke. Equivalent to a cupful of gasoline in a long day of fishing. 🙄

Very interesting to read and to think about.

I haven't tinkered with it yet, but one of my younger fly-flinging brethren tyed a batch of Clousers with the eyes further back on the hook, and left the back hair untrimmed out past the hook eye. He claims that when he strips hard and pauses it, the fly coasts backwards until the tippet goes tight.....then sashays side-to-side as it sinks. I told him that if he ever out-fishes me with it.....then he needs to come up with a NAME for it. 😉 -
Study: Hunters Die After Consuming CWD-Infected Venison

People have been known to die after eating Vienna Sausages and Pork Rinds too. -
Well there's a twist. I'll have to pay attention to that. I typically grab them across the head, gently holding the gill plates shut....which is the only way to immobilize a White/Hybrid to unhook them....and keep them from hurting me. 😅 @BilletHead Are you talking about squeezing the gill plates harder than you need to in order to just hold the weight of the fish......or squeezing them elsewhere? The whole vibrating fish thing was the very first thing I started noticing that clued me to the realization that......Some of these Whites aren't quite the same. After that I started looking at tongue patches, lateral lines, and counting fin rays.

The absence of salt would probably be the deal breaker, as far as the "charged" theory is concerned. Kinda reminds me of a Stalcup Crazy Dad with the fuzzy head. That used to be my #1 crawdad fly before I was introduced to the Mudbug. Caught a lot of creek bass on it. -
Dementia is among the saddest and most painful things for family members to cope with, but in alot of cases the person can function fine if left alone and nothing is demanded from them. Just refrain from asking them to remember things, and refrain from assigning them tasks.....and they'll function just fine. Constantly bombarding them with questions and telling them to do things just frustrates them. They are often way more capable than it appears.....if just left alone to do things whenever & however they please. It's when "caretakers" start trying to "help' is when kitchen fires, and flooded bathrooms happen.

😂 Points given ! 😂

Everyone acts all concerned about their Heart, Lungs, Pancreas, Skin, ect.... but what REALLY MATTERS is their Brain. Once you're nuttier than a squirrel turd your life is basically over ! Sad, but True.

Statistically......I dunno 🤔 For every one of those early deaths from Diarrhea/Child birth, or something similar, there are hundreds of old Whiskey drinking, Collard green eating, Pall Mall smoking, codgers with no teeth & 2" of hair hanging out of their nose.... that lived well into their 80's-90's and only visited a doctor if they got their arm, leg, or pecker caught in a combine. I know this because my parents were in the nursing home business. And they seldom, if ever, had a vacant room. What's the average life expectancy here in 2024 by all these folks casting shadows in the doctors office waiting room on a weekly basis ?
-
Consider yourself lucky. Doctors rotate through the systems in my area of reasonable travel, to the point that it's nearly impossible to see the same one twice. If there was one that I trusted and thought highly enough of, then I'd not be so leary about it. And it isn't just ME, I hear the same from LOTS of people. Just out of curiosity: How many appointments did you have to make, and how many miles did you have to put on your vehicle before you found THE ONE ? You say that "You took the time"......How much time did that take?
-
Now that's not fair. 😔 You say.... "according to ME".....as if that seldom if ever happens. News Flash !!!...
-
It's funny that they have Carp on the list, but no Buffalo..... I had a semi-argument with a MDC agent once that didn't know that Buffalo wasn't the same fish as a Carp. He said... "Buffalo is just another name for a Carp". 😳

What a jackass ! I hope you pummeled him.

No points for the lowly Largemouth? 🥴

Man this is taking me back 😊 Remember the old Toro lawnmowers that you cranked up......then hit a button....and it started itself? 😅 (when you were lucky) The old peanut truck was the STORAGE SHED for that POS ! 😂 When I remember how PROUD I was when I was declared big enough to MOW THE YARD.......it confirms the stupidity and brainwashing that was going on in my family ! 😅 Because we had a BIG FRIGGIN YARD ! If I ordered one of my kids to mow the yard..... they'd throw me in jail for child abuse!
-
Well I think the tires on that old peanut truck were pretty sturdy.....but still ! I'll tell you what the rear tires reminded me of......They were like the heavy lugged tires that you see on those old Willy's Jeeps, but bigger. That old peanut truck sat on our property for YEARS. The first set of titties I ever touched.....and the first cigarette I ever smoked, both happened while hiding out in that old truck. 😅
