Had the pleasure of working for a period of time in Liverpool when I was younger. My office was in the Royal Liver Building. Loved the town. Great people there. Next time I am there I will look this place up!

As someone that runs hog traps, all traps do is educate the hogs. You never catch them all. It is never done. You just hope you scare/bother them enough that the rest of them move somewhere else.

22 today is different than 22 was a generation ago. My oldest is 15 and he doesn't believe the stories of what I was able to do at 15. And my parents were strict compared to most.

If you were finishing up your first enlistment you were given a whole lot more responsibility than 99.9% of the average 22 year old these days.

re: LDWF Votes to Expand Feed Ban Area

Got expanded to Catahoula, La Salle, Caldwell, Richland, and Franklin parishes. I was listening to webinar.

Also, the 25 mile radius has been amended. Now you can broadcast feed between a 15 mile and the 25 mile radius. Does not included piles or stationary feeders. Only electronic broadcast feeders.

Can someone explain this further? Are these new parishes no longer allowed to feed? What is this about 15 and 25 mile radii?

I don't hunt any of those parishes but that is getting close to where I do.

The show suffers from a lack of a real budget. It wasn't as critical when they were in the desert and the SAS was small. However, when you supposedly have 2 SAS regiments in the same place in Italy and you never have more than 30 guys in formation it really shows how small the budget it.

I enjoy it but I can't say it's the best show on tv. I think expanding the budget would really help the quality of the show.

re: Training a Feist to Squirrel Hunt

We’re going to send Gus back to him for 2-3 months where he’ll hunt every morning and afternoon and be finished. The entire family is already attached and we’re dreading sending him away for 10-12 weeks.

I will give you one warning of this. My mom has a mountain feist that would make an excellent squirrel dog if I had the time to work with him. He trees on his own. However, he has got so bonded to my mom that he won't go more than 100 yards from her. I could start walking with him and my other dog and at a certain point he will leave and go back.

I grew up with squirrel dogs and they can be highly finicky as to who they hunt with. Ours would leave other hunters and come home if my dad or I weren't with them. Just make sure you put a whole bunch of time with it before you send it back to training so it remembers you are its hunting master

We had some great ones as a kid. We always had two. An older dog and a younger one. That way the younger would learn from the older and pass it along to the next generation.

We tried a black mouth cur once and she was a great squirrel dogs and would hold on a tree for a long time. The problem was she wouldn't bark while on a tree. So you always had to keep her in sight.

We also had a Jack Russel once. I never saw a dog that hated squirrels more than her. She acted like the Tasmanian devil if she ever got a hold of one. Her problem was if you didn't get the squirrel away from her quickly enough she would consider the hunt over and try to take it home.

100% these.

I know some people have had trouble with wear but I've had mine for over a year and love them. My son even wanted a pair for Christmas.

We have the Sports so maybe that make a difference in their wear. They feel like wearing a sneaker but with the ability to walk in the mud without getting your feet soaked.

My dad and I built multiple box stands in the woods with just the following equipment: post hole digger, chainsaw and hammer. Those things are standing 20 years+ later. They don't have the straightest angles but they are safe. I don't think I could do the same by myself.

All of you dads who want to go play golf on the weekends with friends or go hunting and fishing with buddies or get home from work and sit on the couch and drink beer and play video games or watch tv and veg out need to work on making your children better at something so they don’t end up feeling useless or worthless.

You promote travel ball as the end all be all but put down spending time in the outdoors with your children? Travel ball has ruined a lot of kids love of baseball.

Spending time hunting and fishing with your kids is an age old proven way to raise healthy, stable kids.

There is also nothing wrong spending a little time playing video games with your kids or watching a tv show you and your kids enjoy. Everything in moderation is ok. Making your child hyper focus on one activity can be a big problem.
