If somebody needs an assult rifle to hunt with, then in my book they ain't much of a hunter. Now I ain't saying I am God's gift to hunting, but I rarely shoot more that 50 yrds. 75 yrds tops. If I can't get any closer than that, then I don't deserve to harvest. I don't need any AR or AK or any of that junk either. A good .243, 30-30, or .270 in my book is all I need. But I ain't shooting moose around here either so I can see using a larger caliber but, certainly not around here. Now just where did you come up with these millions of hunters using Assult Rifles to hunt with?

Ya know there kido, yer right. I have been a tad hard on the little feller. I mean he as been here a whole 7 months longer than me and he doesn't mind sharing all of years of outdoor experience, knowlege, and wisdom. Being the "ancient one", I should of known better than to blind side him with common sense and actual time in the field. I guess I should spent more time at that fancy math school he went to. Just how long does one have to be a member of this board before he can call it like he see's it? It must be 7 months? Well there again, from the many post I have read by him it must be shorter time than that? Or does it depend on what side yer on?

Oh boy redbird you really showed me. I say to hell with Brian Andrews. Sounds like a big ol' crybaby to me. Moving outta state over a deer permit. What is he, your brother? You both sound a like. What freedom is he having taken away? If he and his cronies wouldn't have abused the system, none of this may have happened. I'd like to know how many permits were issued for his property. He ain't no more of an outdoorsman than you are. Sure don't sound to me like bobw and his father are mad at this. I raise a toast to you and your father bobw. Keep up the fine work and good luck hunting.

I am not insulting your intelligence, if you have any, you are. I see you are speaking for 75,000 land owners again. Well you might want to make that 74,998. Well, you may want to widdle that down some more. I know for sure that I and other family members and our friends, do not feel that way. Plus you would be the last feller I would ask to do any talking for me. If I need someone to do some talkng for me, I am gonna get someone who know what they are yapping about. Now where is that documentation at that you are so high on? You keep yapping yer facts but you don't show where ya get it? Tell yer friend to pay more attention. I have been driving for long time now and have yet to hit a deer. Maybe I ain't in such a hurry as you younguns.

What river did you catch them trout in? I don't want your secret sport or secret bait, just wondering how close it may be to me. Thanks.

You sure are an edgy one there young feller. We can all see that your point is on top of your head. Mine is at the end of my boot. Do you to get my point? I think, and I am in no way speaking for him, his point was that he doesn't think there is a deer "crisis" in the state of Missouri. I know I have never in all my years heard of a deer "crisis" in this state. And I have been here for many, many years. Why don't you provide some documentation stating that we have a "crisis"?

I just call 'em like I see'em Chief. And that one is an easy one. If my math was anywhere near correct and if not I am sure I will be corrected by the professor, it should be about .0227xxxxxxx deer per acre. I wonder how the number of livestock per acre compares?

Never had heard of that fancy name school you speak of. They sure didn't teach you any respect or common sense. That explains a lot right there. I guess we could look at your number 1 you got posted up there any number of ways. I guess you could say that they should have the right to fish any creek or river running through their property. But they don't. Or I guess I shouldn't need to buy tags to hunt MDC land. After all its my land too isn't it? I help pay to purchase and maintain it don't I? I am more than happy to pay. Anyway, I guess you can bad mouth them all you want. You look pretty stupid doing it though. I guess if you didn't hunt or fish it would make sense. I guess it is the new generations way to do things.

Bigredbird, I'm not sure where you got your education at, young feller, but that is where you and Missourians got screwed. Don't speak for me as I can do my own talking and I will tell you I haven't got screwed by the MDC. What kind of person are you to come on here and mean mouth them? You must like to fish and hunt or you wouldn't be on this board. That is also some pretty sharp talk in your post. Does your mommy know how you are talking on here? As far as the price of tags go, that is sure is some cheap entertainment. And ya know what, I don't have to get my hand stamped or pay to reenter. Just pay once a year and enjoy.

Thanks guy's.

Well, after reading what seems like ever post for the last couple of months I decided to join the ranks. I love to fish. I love to drink. I love to eat. I love to talk about all of them and a few more. I love to read Al Agnew's posts on fishing the east side of the state and I love reading Chief Greybear's on the other side. What a couple of great outdoorsmen we have here. I can't wait to be able to fish with them one of these days if they will let me. (How about it guy's ????) Now before I get into trouble with the rest of you fine contributors on here, I read and like what all of you are posting, their posts just remind me of my youth out on the creeks and rivers. I guess just relate a little closer to them. Boy I got to get into some of that trout fishing that some of you guy's are doing too. That looks like great fun. I have been paying close attention to Crane Creek post. Is that just beautiful or what???? I see we also have a couple of characters here too. Looks like they like to stir the pot if you will. I may have to give them a run for their money. What other fishing forums do you guy's like to look at? And a big thank you to guy's for letting me join.
