This sucks, I've only hunted that place a handful of times but I was sure glad that it was available to me since it's closer than other options.
Hopefully a property/housing crash happens soon and they decide to take the offer from the state for the whole property.
I know, but it'll give me a reason to hang outside at night with a thermal than killing time on ODT. Plus free meat in this economy is always a good thing.
Can also diminish accuracy if the overall length changes from one round to the other in rifles. Can be quite irritating trying to figure out those stupid flyers if the bullets weren't crimped properly.
Of course that issue won't show up if you load one at a time at the range. In the field is a...
Two article's that show that bear spray isn't as effective as one would believe it would be.
