re: Land buying question.

As a landowner who has taken a few deductions, I surely don’t think one should buy land for that purpose.

It look much longer than I expected, but this is the sentiment I get from the out-of-towners, mostly liberals, about the rodeo most often. I don’t really understand it. I don’t see anything improper with the event.

I’ve only been once but it was much less trashy than the LSU sporting events I go to often. Likely because it’s held on prison grounds and there was no alcohol.

So we would starve if we could somehow eradicate the tallow trees??

How do you get around the limbs? 2x lineman ropes??

The cost is a deterrent for me.

Timing may be important for some folks. I’ve yet to have a single tree survive my hack and squirt medicine and that includes some treatments in spring which is normally ill-advised.

What happened? The compulsion for instant gratification… For literally every generation in existence today.

For me they’re the easiest tree to terminate that there is. Google the Harper cocktail. 1 hack per 3” of diameter, plus 1. They’ll start showing signs of stress in a week.

If there are seed trees nearby that you can’t treat, though, you’re pissing in the wind.
Without a doubt, they would. But it’s a drug that most hunters can’t kick. And now they’re needing to get their fix during turkey season too. It’s sad.
Even if CWD weren’t a thing, my views on feeding and baiting wouldn’t change.
So there are no outlaws in the mgt zones?
I hear you, but they’re testing across the entire state, and it’s spreading every year. I contend the whole state is a “zone” under some means of CWD “management.”

It is entirely unreconcilable that the state allows feeding and baiting anywhere they’re concerned about having CWD now OR in the future.

As a strong opponent of baiting and feeding, I sort of wish they’d make this new baiting method the ONLY approved method. Make em do a little work.
I have no interest in traveling, mostly because I have more local interests than I can currently satisfy with enough money, time, attention, and effort. Why be bothered with other expensive endeavors?

I travel internationally for work and find it depressing and dystopian. Natural history is what interests me and there’s plenty of that right out my back door.

Much like daily Starbucks and annual $30k Disney trips, International travel has become just another luxury that’s become an expectation.
TD thread

Apparently the accused in the thread was arrested in July for kidnapping. He remains in jail. Search warrant has been obtained for his residence in pursuit of the other disappearances. Anybody following?

Unfiltered with Kiran link

That’s incredibly naive. You mean they get backdated.
It’s a tech company. What’s the worst that could happen?

Actually, finishing is one thing I want to avoid, which is what is attracting me to this idea. You can buy these fronts already primed and factory painted. I’d have to finish the boxes, but that’s much easier, to me. And with full overlay doors, that stays mostly hidden too.
