You have to cook rabies? I thought the coon just bit you and it happened

Axius · 07-21-2016, 01:14 PM

.75 acres, neighbors don't approve when I poop in the backyard, should probably build a fence.

Shit on neighbors lawn and blame on non-existent dog?

Reminds me of a roommate I had in college. His dog would shit all over the house, but he refused to take responsibility for it and I couldn't prove that it wasn't my dog, so unless I wanted to live in a house with dog shit everywhere I had to clean it up. Good times.

Should have put food coloring in his dogs food. Problem resolved.

My solution was way more exciting. I baited him into assaulting me and threatened to call the cops - he had some items that would have landed him in quite a bit of trouble - after he was thoroughly pissing his pants I informed him that there are rules that go along with living there, and if he wanted to continue living there he would follow the rules. He saw the error in his ways, apologized and it was all good after that.

I really would like a place with a lawn someday, just so I can tell people to get off of it.

Weaksauce. I filled my roommates toilet with instant mash potatoes powder to get back at him for not following the house rules.

Good fences make GREAT neighbors.

I have just a tad over 80 acres and love it.

I know two things:

I can hunt all year long on my land and shoot whatever/whenever on my 250 yd range and,

If you are not with me on my land, you are against me, trespassing, and I have the right to defend myself especially of you are poaching (ie, carrying a weapon).

I get along with both the sheriff (and his deputies) and the game warden. Also, I get along with both neighbors who have sections compared to my 80 and who do not hunt. Hence, come the season of my choice, I get a little permission card from them and the warden is legally satisfied.

To make matters better, one neighbor had a small barn yard fire when I was out on my land, I stopped my hunt, jumped his fence (Remmy ADL 30.06 and all) and helped him put out the fire. THAT action got me hunting rights on his land. Word got to the other neighbor and now I take his 16 year old grand daughter out deer hunting whenever they are around. Dove hunting is coming up this Labor Day and she's been doing skeet this year in preparation. Her mom's great and will spend the morning with her dad (my neighbor) and then the afternoon my wife (both the mom and my wife are VERY easy to look at, IMO).

The daughter and mom may likely come out after some snow sticks. Daughter wants to hunt in the snow and her mom wants to try the hot tub while it's snowing.

Yes, life is good, even in the winter.

Deer hunting, is THAT what we are calling it now? So, on my van, I am going to try "Free Deer Hunting" next because "Free Candy" just isn't working any more

It is because you just aren't up with the times. Might I suggest this as your new graphics package...

I already got scolded for that when I asked about putting lures in my van "for little girls" and someone responded "how about 25 year olds instead?" Of course MKSixer came to my rescue and pointed at that that is a little girl to us fogeys
