Re:

And I've had my dogs hunted by yotes in ND and NE.as well as had two yotes circling a dozen pointers on stakeouts at night. The ranchers I stay with had one trying to break in the whelping shed with two litters and their mothers inside. Its not common but they are opportunistic if the chance arises...

Re: Eating venison while pregnant

Are you for real? If we eliminated all the cows and populated the countryside with enough Deer, Elk, Moose and Buffalo to supply red meat for everyone what do you think their impact on the environment would be? (hint - why did they push for the introduction of the wolf to Yellowstone Park)Come back...

Re: Coyotes and Dogs

Hmmm, been taking my dog to the country for runs and always see plenty of coyote scat and tracks, never been bothered yet. Maybe we have a good mouse population where I roam.

Re: Eating venison while pregnant

This statement is all I need to read to know you are repeating what you have read or heard and not reporting on what you know. That is not the facts in any way.

Re: Coyotes and Dogs

The Game Commission here in PA said just the other day that coyotes rarely attack dogs and I have to agree with them. There are rare occasions when wildlife of any kind will attack a dog or a person but it just doesn't happen very often.

Re: Eating venison while pregnant

Deer are safe to eat even in a CWD area as long as you are just eating the meat. But all of the meat we eat is healthful whether it comes from the grocery store or something you harvest as long as you clean it properly. And I am sure most everybody does today. That's what I read too but If I knew t...

Re: Eating venison while pregnant

I would rather serve venison to my family over store bought meat any and every day of the week. There are 2 areas of concern to me though and that is, where the deer harvested feeds and the lack of information on CWD and how hard it is to determine if a deer is infected or in the early stages of the...

Re: Ammo

:mrgreen: The mercury is a scary reality but not really within my control. Sounds like steel is the most economical way to go but I still have a few boxes of lead to put to use. Might also give the bismuth and tungsten a try as well just to experiment a bit. Thanks for all the help guys, hope I get ...

Re: Ammo

There is basically no health risks for consuming lead pellets, other than chipping a tooth, which will be the same with non-tox. That's not what I have read unless I'm not understanding what I read. I also know that lead shot is illegal to use when hunting over wet lands in my home state of PA beca...

Re: Meat & Bonemeal ---- YUK ! ! !

...I think I might start feeding table scraps and stop feeding store bought dog food. Pretty sure that no one will be breaking down your entryway door to stop you, criticize you or commend you. I do have a problem with that idea though...to be deucedly honest. I just don't have enough table scraps ...

Re: Meat & Bonemeal ---- YUK ! ! !

Meat and Bone Meal is a product that is seldom used in dog food though it is a good product used extensively in livestock feed. Country Guy made the comment that they fed scraps long before the companies decided they could make money bagging meat scraps. That had to be a long time ago as meat scrap...

I want to get away from lead shot for my bird hunting, can anyone recommend something that would give me the same performance that would be equal to what I have been using all these years. I use #6 shot for just about all my bird hunting, turkey included but I use 3" magnums for them. The reason for...

Re: Meat & Bonemeal ---- YUK ! ! !

Why are none of the commercial dog food bashers part of the legitimate scientic community, they are never subject to peer reviewer, never in the mainstream media? They are always a blog, an article in an obscure magazine, or some crude pamphlet. Is there a conspiracy? And it is always conjecture, t...

Re: Meat & Bonemeal ---- YUK ! ! !

For those of you who think "meat and bone meal" in the ingredient list is alright, you might want to reconsider your stance. AAFCO has finally admitted that rendered pets (with remaining phenobarbitol from euthanasia) tumors , infections , road kill and a host of other crap are used in the manufact...

Re: What do you feed your Dogs?

I very much like feeding raw, my dogs have plenty of energy when I feed them. Raw gives dogs the nutrition that they need to stay healthy and active. I don't understand why many people are against feeding raw. What do you think they ate back then? Do you think their owner bought a bag of dog food fo...
