Far Removed from Nature

[Mr. Smallfish]

I like my deer kept warm too....with gravy.

I heat deer up every fall when my .270 rips through them at 2800 feet per second.

              Yeah what a dummy.  The real way to connect with nature is on a 50000 acre man made impoundment fishing out of a $70,000 bass boat with more electronics than a best buy.  I get that its fun to crap on people for their stupidity...but lets face it, we are all as dumb as that guy if you ask the right questions.  Everyone likes to think they are in the "smart" half of the population.  Him and his group probably make fun of hillbillies who bass fish for a living. 

So, what's the over/under on too much to spend on a fishing rig? Who gets to decide whether my Ranger is extravagant or if another guy's $1,500 kayak is too much? After all, lots of guys spend $2,500 and more on yaks.

Or are you just taking a shot at bass fishermen who enjoy the comforts of a nice boat?

There are a lot of things that matter way more than the money you spend when it comes to pursuing your natural life.

I've seen plenty of deer nests in my days afield.  No straw though, only the finest fresh grass.

Most I see are on hillsides in the woods nestled in the leaves with their back to the wind.

All those nests were full of deer eggs too, I imagine.

I have weird non-nesting deer, they just lay down here or there for a nap and move on when the nap is over. Don't know how they ever hatch out those spotted fledglings with all that  moving around. Maybe I just never found their nests because they are so high in the sycamores. Spots blend in with the tree's spots, I bet that's it.

Yep, usually a pile of eggs in or near nest.  Black or brown about the size  of a big raisen.

My goodness how far are we removed from our surroundings.

Watching an early morning talk show this morning, one of the cohost said he had seen deer in his back yard and was so worried with this cold spell coming on he had purchased straw to make them beds to stay warm. 

He was asking how to construct deer nests so they would stay warm in 20 degree weather. The entire staff was really worried about the wild animals. 

This idiot was as serious as a heart attack.   
 

He was ready for it to get back to 80 so they would stay warm. 

I think the simple answer is you can’t cure stupid. 
 

 

 

May be time to change the channel?  Decent buck has been helping me out pulling my tomato plants, one less chore as I prepare for gun season.

Not my fight, but I didn't see any judgments.  I seen him make a statement to how we humans tend to boast our own superiority.  We tend to believe "my way is the right way" .  

 

In that fashion,  I believe as long as you are living within your own means,  and your family is sheltered and fed, buy whatever you desire.

        I don't care what you or anyone else spends on anything.  I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of claiming to be connected with nature while being a pro bass fisherman on table rock lake.  That is funny to me.  Its like when a big fat person orders a diet coke with their giant burger and fries. 

        Yes I am taking a shot at bass fisherman  but because it is the internet I expected some hyper sensitive individuals to start melting over a joke.
