The Whining Thread

[Gologit]

Folks hate to see the hunters coming but sure do enjoy the $ left behind.

Hunters might spread some money around but none of it goes in my pocket. Hunters usually cost me money...gate maintenance, signage, cleaning up after them, pulling them out of ditches, putting out their campfires, and the time it takes to explain to them, over and over, how to find their way back to the pavement.

I don't mean to cause you gummint employees any problems but when the hunters ask me where the deer are, and they always ask...sometimes they'll drive right up into the middle of an active landing and ask...I always point them toward state or federal ground.

There. Whine finished. :msp_rolleyes:

I have no soft spot in my heart for them.

I get real tired of the road hunters that come by here.

At least I no longer come out of the brush with someone drawing a bead on me.

 

[northmanlogging]

its this wizz bang (not bang wizz) that made me not want to hunt anymore, never been in the service but sure have been shot at allot

I took to wearing a bell when hunting season happened.

We get them all the time on our patrols. I have been stopped many times in the past by road hunters asking where the deer and elk were. I try to be as polite as possible, but generally I tell them in the woods off a gravel road hiding. Some places around here turn into a literal freeway after opening day.

The thing that irks the bejesus out of me. Is the folks that drive past 6 fire danger boards and endless prevention signs and claim they didnt see them. Didnt know they are suppose to carry water, tools and not smoke in dead grass. The ones that really piss in my cheero's are the ones that argue that having a camp fire in the middle of the road isnt illegal. Then you have to explain about the fire danger level, the laws, call the boss who calls the cops. People get angry, guns taken away, vehicles impounded. Its a long laundry list of bs.

I need a different job?

Nope, because it doesn't go on all year. Being a guy, you probably don't get the line of "You're out here all alone? " and then a lecture on how you shouldn't be, because being of the female gender, you obviously can't handle being in the woods. THEN comes the question from the same manly men, "Where are the deer/elk? My reply for deer? Same as your's. Off the road. My reply for elk? Downtown Packwood or on the highway. Then I'd drive on up to my job. Or find something nearby to cut and make noise. :msp_rolleyes:

Nah, just mount a cannon in your pickup bed. Water cannon would prolly work just fine.

Anyone else notice we been chewing on this thread almost a YR?

 

[HorseFaller]

Back from hunting camp and I really don't want to go to work.

Bought a pair of Viking rubber corks yesterday and took a staub through the side of them today. Not happy not one bit. It took some convincing too to get them exchanged. Corks should hold up to anything we throw at them.

 

[northmanlogging]

seeing an awful lot of red lately? Think its got anything to do with burning man? Or is it true that stupid people are breeding...

 

[Samlock]

Don't be too hard on Jack477, Northmanlogger. If you beat him, you beat me. He copy/pasted my post from last fall. Don't ask me why, but he did.

 

[northmanlogging]

Wasn't me... just seeing a bunch of red in other forums as well...

 

[Steve NW WI]

He was a spammer, they like to steal part of a post to make themselves look legitimate. The software does a decent job of cutting out the actual spam links, so they look like a normal post.

We paint em red for easy identification till the mods can come in and mop up.

Be careful not to get lost in the fog, Randy. It'll make no good excuse at home. I'm just supposing you have a new route to memorize and all.

Quite pleasant here. 60s and 70s for highs, no frost yet. I ate my first tomato from my garden yesterday.
There are two more that are almost ripe.

Now, can anybody tell me what I did with my ski repair stuff? I need to patch the hot tub. It is fall maintenance time and a crack had developed. No leakage. My plan is to use P-Tex, which is a stick of plastic that you heat up and drip onto major scratches in skis. It solidifies, and you smooth it down. I figure it will work in the hot tub--if I can find it. I found it when I wasn't looking for it, so I know it is out there....

As of 11:30 am PDT, the temperature had risen to 71 at the Eureka Weather Forecast Office on Woodley Island. The last time the Eureka office saw a temperature greater than 70 was back on February 6th, 2012 when a high temperature of 73 occurred.
