I promise this is the last post I Will make about the hearing that was held yesterday. After 3 1/2 hours of sometimes boring comments and butt-numbing chairs, my brain went numb and some things that were said are just now coming to mind. Several statements made by the BHA leadership were really germ...

Welcome back, OBH. Lotsa stuff going down this summer! Striper

Clem: I live in Central Alkabama (Clanton area), but we can help you by posts on this website , by phone, or you can come shoot off of my elevated back porch. Welcome aboard! Striper

Guys: There was so much said yesterday during the 3 1/2 hours of the hearing. It is hard to remembere al the details. I can tell you this: 1) There are approximately 70 days left before bow season in Alabama opens. 2) One thing I forgot to post was that the new Alabama Game and Fish regulations have...

Book: I'm sorry, guys this is talk between Alabamians. Pat Dye, great Auburn football coach was there. He supported crossbows. Archie Phillips, taxidermist and outdoor show host supported crossbows. Charles Kelley sat right behind me at the hearing. He was head of the Department of Conservation duri...

This is the argument I presented in favor of crossbow hunting this morning at the public hearing in Montgomery, Alabama. It was well received. Striper 8/2/2004 Gentlemen: The current regulations dealing with crossbows in the State of Alabama mandate that a person must be handicapped to the extent th...

The meeting started promptly at 10:00 this morning. About 40 people attended, and I expected the worst. The first speaker was pro-crossbow and presented a reasoned argument. For the most part, the anti-crossbow people were emotional, wandered in their spoken thoughts, and really looked pretty selfis...

Today, the Conservation Advisory Board is holding a public meeting today in the state capitol. This is a face to face meeting of Alabama Bowhunters (100's) and crossbowers (2). We'll just have to see if David can defeat Goliath! We covet your best wishes, this is an important day for crossbowing in ...

Woody: That (f) looks a little suspicious to me, also. Woody, I really appreciate your help in advising me how to proceed with a defense for crossbows in Alabama. I will present a statement tomorrow in the rehearing in Montgomery. As far as I know, Archie Phillips, taxidermist and moderater of an ou...

I just saw the posts about Polypropylene and Merino wool (bstout) and was interested to see if anyone has bought any of the so-called ultimate cold weather underwear called Under-armor. I read a revue in an outdoor magazine that indicated the stuff is really good. Any inormation, guys? Striper

WABI and guest. The same law applies in Alabama. No pistols in possession while you are bow hunting! Striper

RJ: We have 4 feeders scattere around our wrap around porch. We have 40-50 hummingbirds who spend the summer with us. I am now up to adding a Quart of sugar water to the 4 feeders every day. By the time they start their migration to South America, they look like pool balls. Striper

Gary: Jeannie and I will remember you in our prayers. Striper

Sandman: Beautiful pair of fawns! Striper

Shakky: I think there are at least 2 reasons people want the Exomax. Number 1- They anticipate going after heavy, big boned game. Number 2- It is the hottest thing around. I haven't considered buying one because with my messed up arm it is hard enough to cock the Exocet. It is like the Corvette. I a...
