More likely "weed", today. It wasn't "up the holler down on Copperhead Rd.", was it?

Again, Stan, not an answer I'd expect from someone so "high" on Jesus. Can I interest you in a charter membership in the Fake Ass Gentlemen's Crybaby Club?

"Moonshine ?"

Close, jOe. I think that was the night we were making homemade limoncello. Might have been hitting the base ingredient pretty hard. I can't remember. That potato "vodka" is strong stuff.

Thanks, old colonel. Do you think there's a reason you're a Colonel and I'm a Lance Coconut?

ps jOe: maybe ed has a gun more in your price range.

Lonesome,

We all have a past. I once really enjoyed Steve Earle's music.

I said I would post this back here after I got an answer. An email from the GA DNR says that one must have permission to go on private land even to retrieve game. I asked if it mattered if you left your gun behind before venturing onto the private land ....... they said "No, doesn't matter, without permission you could be ticketed".

Geo., if you find that to be in error I'd like to know. Again, not a problem for me but I'd like to know for certain. I'd like to think the DNR would know what they were talking about.

Yes Marine there is a reason or reasons, but I don't know them.

Enjoy the limoncello, I have always liked drinking and it in the he right weather.

Dicey proposition. Earlier this year I called three different California wardens about transporting some game and the three wardens gave me two and one-half different answers.

Interesting. The Iowa DNR is quite clear, in their regs, that you can trespass to retrieve game that ends up on private land (without a gun). Matter of fact, if you do NOT do that, you could conceivably be ticketed for wanton waste. Most of the time, just sending the dog works pretty well for me. Although there was one instance where I ditch-snuck a rooster, dogless, dropped him in cut corn. Scrambled over the fence to pick him up and he came back to life. As I think back on it, it was like that scene in "Rocky II" where Mickey has Rocky chasing the chicken to get him ready for the rematch with Apollo. But I finally did catch up with that dodging bird. Lo these many years later, I'm thinking the pheasant would win.

Law is the same here in MN, Larry.

Best,
Ted

Nash Buckingham would not agree with the concept of leaving your gun on the ground- or, for that matter, handing it to a game agent for inspection without standing there and waiting for him to hand it back to you- a la Dec 1948 and the Bo Whoop disaster. Bunny hunting with the 1931 era Model 12 20 gauge (Thanks, Dad)we were approached by a Raccoon Ranger- he asked to examine our guns (why? do not know, so I racked out the shells, and with the action open and the muzzle up- I removed my glove and put my pinky finger into the breech and chamber- felt nothing but air- so I handed it over to him, muzzle down and butt first, again, with the slide open. He complimented me on my safe gun handling (Thanks-Dad and Grandpa too), then looked at my license- A-OK- he waved us on and we went back on our quest for Hassenpfeffer! That was 30 years ago-- I still do that with any repeating firearm I am handling- old habits die hard-!!

Hard to blame you for that Stan. Steve is an American treasure in my opinion.
