    It’s 27 in Minneapolis. Not that it’s all that cold. But that it’s all that; I’ve had enough of winter.
    Now which way to Texas?

    I am a hunter though would never use piss "lovethedrive " the piss hunters use is of deer, not humans typically of females personally my fair chase ends just shy of having stuff sprayed on me to remove scent or make me smell like a female deer. reason being never needed one to catch a deer though I also don't use deer blinds my uncle has taught me how to track though he learned more so in the military on humans in jungles he just applied it to animals we used to go on hunts together track deer and kill them same with turkey those were much harder I know he used to drive mostly in military but apparently he was some special forces prior had to stop due to an injury.

    If anybody wants a trophy Buck. Just go hunt the Black Hills. Never seen deer like that before. They got too many.
    When I drove a cab. Went into one neighborhood repeatedly. It was about a mile to the forest. In West Rapid. Definite suburbs. Sidewalks and all. There was a 13 point whitetail buck who really liked this guys front lawn. He’d always be there at 4am.
    I’ve seen groups of ~4 Mulies in Rapid. All of them over ten points.
    One year they had so many deer. Them getting hit by cars in Rapid, became a problem. Fish and Game had to go out and shoot a bunch. The number they took was something like 270.

    All the game in that area is enormous. Pheasants as big as I am.

    thanks for the advice on where the hunt I am certain a few hunters might like it I hunt for meat versus sport not against it because that is a business in Texas and other states everyone has to make money somehow never choose bucks, to be honest, some the best meat have been doe" s especially that backstrap now some times I hunt the males because they are an older deer and have one point one side and 2 points on another side deer will breed with there relatives like dumb hillbillies will because no one wants them. that said I do help a few my relative's lands remove troubled deer who are like that because they do sell hunts to selective clients.

    people say this but unless that's private land and no nearby homes they get violations all the time if they get caught some places require a minimum distance from other homes to discharge a firearm its nice you have game nearby but I would not like bear in my yard when I try to leave me and it would have a problem one us being dead when it was all said and done. I have no lands up north so no worries of bears though there are sightings of bears north us there smaller sized to ones up like Maine or that area

    I’m not joking about the deer.
    Gossip is... in years past. The ranchers kept the cougar population down. The cougars kept the deer population down. Now with less ranchers. More people building homes in the Hills. That is why the deer population is getting out of hand.
    It is ridiculous. Not uncommon to watch a 10 point buck walk by in Rapid.
