Can't we all just get along? I mean, hunting season isn't that long, after all. Multi-use land has
the best chance of staying open to ALL.

Although I don't hunt, I have to agree with you on this... you frickin' hunter! ;)

BTW, bag any good sized fricks this year?

And you would know that how? And six months is a long time, IMO.

But hunting necessitates the closure of areas to everybody else. Hardly multi-use then, is it?

6 months? maybe in BOHEMIA where you live, but not in my part of the world...

you take the good with the bad. Given up a few weeks in order to lower species population, as well
as providing sustinance to ones family is a small price to pay.

Not around here... the only thing to think about riding during hunting season is that you better be
wearing your flame orange when you hit the trails.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that I live in Bohemia from - Bohemia's a good 750km from here.

Of course, most of us just go down the supermarket, but I know how difficult it is to get
squirrel there.

You get points for hunting now? 2 for limbs, 5 for body and 10 for a headshot?

That's for sure ... every year they cull a couple of hunters from the population (always from out of
town for some reason).

Eff those hunters, man. I ride year round without fear or regret! First of all, most of the
hunters around here lumber through the woods on ATVs; not too hard to hear em coming! Second, most
of the hunters around here are so completely entranced by their ATVs that they scarcely get off
the things to actually shoot something. I'm more concerned with one of those dipshits accidentally
running me over!

[snip story of woe and humor]

Yup, as a dog person, and being around dogs my whole life, this story makes me laugh. The WLO is
going to bust when I give her a copy.

The LBS has a guy who brings in his dog sometimes. The dog loves to lay right in the middle of the
walkway by the parts displays. So, when you go over to ogle the parts, the dog is "available for
petting." And is not shy about informing you of this in the way that dogs do.

Except that this Shepard mix weighs over 100lbs. (My estimate.) That damn dog will just about knock
you over in his enthusiam over being petted. And if you get your face down near him, he'll let fly
the Tongue of Death. Mmmm, dog spit. Oh, and why is this dog perfectly comfortable lying on the
floor and ignoring everyone else until I walk through the door? LOL.

This elk thing is a great story.
