Land lease scam

[EddieWalker]

I'm not aware of any state draw tags that are transferable, but I can't say that for sure. Washington has two species of bighorns. Rocky Mountain Bighorn and California Bighorn. You really need to be an expert or a serious collector to know the difference. The California is smaller, but we're not talking about very much. Most of the bigger rams tend to broom off the tips of their horns. 40 inches is the magic number that everyone shoots for, but it's very rare with Bighorns. The thin horns, like Dall, Fannin and Stone sheep tend to get more length, but lack the mass of the bighorns. The Desert Bighorn has more mass at the base then the Rocky Mountain and California, but tend to broom the ends even more.

A full curl is not uncommon. The value of the animal would be in it's score. Length of the horns with measurements of it's thickness are added up to give it a score. That number is where the value is if he was to sell it.

A few years ago, tags to hunt Desert Bighorns in Baja California were selling for $45,000 each, but included access to the ranch, room and board and guides. There were around a dozen tags a year available, and the waiting list was several years to get one. I know the Cabela brothers bought two tags and got some real nice rams, but of course, they can afford it and spend allot on their hunting trips.

My opinion is that our society has become too lazy. Physically lazy as shown by big guts and jiggling butts, intellectually lazy as shown by the vast hordes of ignorant people that send $10,000 to the King of Jujuballa so he can afford to send them $10,000,000 to invest. And lastly morally lazy where people allow scams to continue because it does not affect them. I'm attempting to be less lazy....

Good Evenin JB,
I certainly understand what your saying, and as long as you can keep yourself far enough away from the front lines, without increasing your BP then its OK to try and straighten this idiot out ! Dont get too deeply immersed in the whole thing that its going wind your main spring to the breaking point, is what Im trying to say !

BTW, if you know of any physically lazy people, this guy included, I have plenty of cordwood to be split ! A good days work never hurt anyone !

You know, I am more disappointed in the fact that he straight up lied to my face (well ear really) than I am angry. My BP is typically very low. 105 over 65 or some such. I'm more of a carrier for high BP than a sufferer (I'm the typhoid Mary of High BP - just ask my friends).

If it takes work on my part to get the guy some learn'n, then that's what's gonna happen!

Just in case I find anyone, is it splitting with a single bit, double bit, maul or wedges & sledges?

So if your land can generate that kind of income from Hunting ---How much tax will you pay for those STATE animals to run on your ground---sounds like you are the one that needs to be paying up!!!! TAXES!!!!

Good Mornin JB,
Well up to last year it was the old fashioned way ! Since Im closing in on 58 I weakened last year and bought a used splitter. Single bit wedge, 27 ton, 8 hp Honda, combo vert/horiz splitter ! But if you stay at it long enough you can work up a sweat ! Well maybe not today !

We use a 5hp splitter. You can still work up a sweat cutting, hauling, splitting, loading, unloading, schlepping and stacking over the course of 5 hours.

The wife got an eight point buck on Saturday afternoon.

Unfortunately it was with the car.

She managed to get the speed down before she hit the deer. No air bag deployment and no body damage to the car that we can see. Looks like the horns found a gab in the grill which pushed the AC condenser and maybe the radiator. We have a slight coolant leak. Danged lucky.

She was fine. The buck not so much. You could see in the skid marks where she ran over the deer. This was around 2:30-3:00pm.

Lots of people wanted that dead deer. We gave it to the guy who stopped first. My daughter wants the antlers. It will be interesting to see if we can get them back as we discussed.

The state needs to up the limit on the number of deer taken.

Later,
Dan

I think it was last year, but it might have been the year before. A guy hit a pretty big buck with his car. He stopped and got out of the car to inspect the damage to his car and to the deer. One of the bucks antlers had broken off and was laying in the road. A car drove by and caught the antler just right, flipped it through the air and the tines impaled the guy in his stomach!!!! He had to go to the hospital, but from what I remember, it wasn't life threatening. It was big news for awhile here, and I saw it on Yahoo one time too.

Ouch!

I've hit 2 deer. One with my old 89 ford F150 at 60 mph. The deer was stretched out running full and I hit it with the bumper flush. That sucker went 60' forward, rolled a dozen times and amazingly got up and vanished into the brush. The only damage to the truck was a little denting around the bumper bolts.

Other time was with my 73 convertible cougar at 75 mph. I was the brown blur coming and stood on the pathetic excuse for brakes but got him. The buck stepped on the space between the bumper and passenger side fender and caught the fender extention with his ham. Pushed the fender back about 1/4" and left a small dent on the extension. Was a bit of a pisser as we were on the way to a show n shine show.

Not too bad for over half million miles in Wisconsin.
