pyscodog PM Junkie Registered: 12/04/06 Posts: 16010 Loc: okla	I just read where Okla is trying to pass a bill that would make a hunting license good for 365 days from time of purchase. I think this might not be a bad thing. Buying a hunting license then tags for hunting get pricey. This may spread the cost out if you buy your license early in the year.I wish they would consider changing opening day of deer season to the end of October instead of the first so it isn't so dang hot. Also let retired hunters use ATV's on public land as most public lands don't allow it. Dragging a 150 pound deer out of the woods in your 70's is tough. Daddy always said, wish in one hand and crap in the other, See which one fills up first. _________________________ Stay away from negative people, they have a problem for every solution.

When Telecheck was instituted in Missouri in 2006 it became legal and practical to debone and quarter deer in the field and pack them out. I had used that method in western states to get game out of the mountains and it is just as useful in the Ozark mountains as it is in Wyoming. I hate dragging deer and haven't done it in a long time now and have no wish to go back to that. ATV's are illegal off marked roads on public ground in Missouri and I hope it stays that way. Using the backpack method of getting usable meat/antlers out if I can walk in I can pack a deer out much easier than dragging one in the rough, steep Ozark terrain. _________________________ Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Yep, that is how I do with the deer I shoot. I have not gutted a deer or pulled muscles in my back loading them in a truck in a long time. I quarter them out and get the back straps and E-check them before I leave The field. I always make sure I have my name and check-in info written on a piece of paper and attached to whatever I have the meat in as soon as I cut it up. As a kid part of the fun was showing off your deer at the checkin station, kids these days will never know...
