The 'yote poulation is growing for a reason...once things equalize, so will the population...man, just continues to mess up the balance that Mother Nature has in place...if we left things alone and quit trying to play God, we would be better off!
Don't let you young children run the "back 40" alone, keep you pets inside at night and not running free, keep you chickens in protected coops at night, bring your livestock in and get trained flock dogs (like in the old days).
Then leave things alone to re-balance...we have too many deer, too many rodents (coons, groundhogs, vols, rabbits, etc), too many feral animals, and too many idiots that are too lazy to take minimal precautions, because it would take a few extra minutes of their time. But then they'll spend hours upon hours spending time away from the families, killing predators that are needed to equalize things, because deer and rodents are cute, and 'yotes are destroying the farmers livelihood!lol It's been proven that deer, rodents, etc, cause more damage to farmers income than anything else, so the basis for farmers "Predator Killing" is false!
And I know what I'm talking about, I was born and raised in South Chuck and live out in the County! But that's just my opinion and "everybody has one"!
Dale and I watched 40 deer last night cut through my backyard, out looking for food! I killed 22 coons last summer that were destroying my gardens, etc, over 30 squirrels, 15 'hogs, countless mice, on my little 2 acres across from a woods...that's just because they are way too many...and the damn farmers in the area keep killing the predators...amazing!
There, that's my rant for the day!

Never mentioned anything about the wife.. CJP

I still wish Mother Nature would Cull her also!

And yes Jeremiah, if left alone the 'Yote population would lower itself...the bad thing about man culling any herd, is that he does not know when to stop and leave things alone! Man figures if killing 1000 is good 10,000 is better...remember the Buffalo, Grey Wolf, Big Cats, Whales, etc, etc, etc.
Once the food (deer, rodents, etc) population lowers in an area, the predators will move to where it is high (which right now, is on the fringe of humans)...once the predators stabilize the population, their numbers ALWAYS DROP! That is Mother Nature's Way!
Man is lazy and not patient...we refuse to do what is right, we do what is easier for us...it's easier to let your pets run wild, your kids to run wild, your herds to free roam, same with your poultry...responsibility is a inconvenience, it is easier to blame a predator and eliminate it, than to work with nature.
We have screwed with Nature so much, she is going to bite us in the butt soon...invasive species (fish, snakes, wild boar, etc), super "bugs", Wolf/Coyote/dog hybrids, Poor water management, genetic crops/feed/meat, poor farming techniques, environmental and weather changes etc.....MAN, ARE WE IN FOR A RUDE AWAKENING!
But, we'll find something to blame it on, because Man is never wrong...we are the ultimate Species...But somehow Mother Nature always manages to show us how small we really are, and that she is still our Master!

Flannel
I have read Aldo...he understands...I do my best to try and understand my impact, and I also try to balance that impact as best as I can. I also teach my son things that should be taught...the young need to understand to respect Nature along with the other things in life...they need to understand how they impact their environment and try to balance things out as much as possible.
The bad thing is that you are limited with what you can do, but doing anything is better than doing nothing.
Anyone that knows me can attest I am not a leftist nutcase, actually VERY conservative...I just want to leave things better for my son...and I don't think that is going to happen...it makes me sad, embarrassed, and ashamed...hopefully his generation is a better care-taker of Mother Nature than we were!

Im in on March 7th with you guys.

Jab are you going to be there? If so I will bring a list of the Pen Making items I have. Like I told ya on email when I first started making them I got into it pretty heavy and I have tons of equipment and wood. Too much to just list on a message or email. I am getting rid of all of it except my lathe and my bobbins i use to make jigs with.

Shag if your there i hope you don't mind me sharing all my CJ bass info with ya. I am hopeful my computer and mapcreate software will work so i can print ya out some maps with my waypoints to show ya where things are at that I have found working the lake over for the last 10 years searching for my monster CJ bass.

Can't wait sounds like its going to be a blast

Yes I will be there and Jesse...I'm really looking forward to talking Bassin' with you.

Brent I'm thinking if the 4.4" Flappers are available on the 24th you'll have them by the 7th. That would be way cool, especially if by a stroke of good luck the ice was gone. lol

Great minds "Thought" alike! I picked the 7th, hoping I would have everything by then....after all these below zero temps, we would need some 80's next week to have soft water! lol

I just got back from the White Allen show. Due to the weather most of the vendors were a no show; but the folks responsible for the fish fry were there! So were several speakers as well as many more show goers than I expected.
