Don't forget...
Harry,,
Your IQ is slipping, previous days were reported around -6 and today I see you posted your IQ to be a -9. Not surprising coming from a low form of life such as yourself. No wonder your children do not associate with you. I mean this is what you said. I stand by my statement and pray someone pulls through. Harry, your a real prick, a lying prick. Are you going to answer my question? hmmmmm I didn't think so. You are a low life racists harry, "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... ...the outdoor critters. It's really cold out in our area (16F, -9C), and there's not much for our wild feathered or furry friends to eat out there. Why not buy a couple of bags of corn and sunflower seed for the birds, and a big bag of dry cat food for the raccoons, possums, squirrels, et cetera, and toss out a couple handfuls every morning? Brrrrrrr! |

Brrrrrrr! Ya wouldn't have to if ya didn't use poison and clip your "lawn" to look just like all the other girly man's lawns, who gotta compete to see who looks the most pussey whipped of them all. Let your yard grow up and you will create a natural habitat for the critters. There is no need to limit them, except for the ones inside your attic or walls. We are all farmers at heart. Don't start feeding them unless you will do it religiously. It will kill them if you start feeding them and then forget. I was looking at a pair of fat old crows huddled in a tree across the street as a blizzard blew yesterday all to hell. I stopped to think how they must be suffering and then it struck me; they aren't suffering. They have a coat of interlocking feathers which spills the wind, is insulated with down, the only part not protected is their eye lids and their feet, thickly calloused. They sit, waiting for a morstle to appear, for a mouse to disturb the snow as it cruises the soft snowy world looking for grass seeds, old mushrooms, frozen bugs, the odd blackberry or rasberry, etc. It is we who are out of place. Are you comfortable? This is the season for helping nieghbours. Who's the best potlatcher? Let's see the stats that show who can afford what. City by city. A christmas contest, mano a mano? Due New Year's Eve, a manic new contest? If you where borne where you are, that makes you a native, like a Bangla Deshian, whatever. Now, they need help. Where is the army when you need it for the good fight? Terry K Terry K |

I'm planting 3 million blueberry bushes this spring. I'm assuming (happily) that the deer and birds will get 90% of the berries, and I'll get maybe a few quarts. No problem.

Harry,, Wasn't it you who yesterday mocked THailand for having rat **** causing disease from flooding,, now you are protecting the rats with bushy tails ?? harry,,, are you sure your not on senile drugs? Have you taken your medication today ole harry? Better get the wife to bring over the paper cup again,, oops not the pee cup,, the paper one with the reds and blues in it.. Harry,,, it turns out that you are a crazy old man who lies a lot.. If this turns you on, or keeps you alive,, then that is good for you,, but you shouldn't keep lying as much as you are. Could this be the reason your children have left you for their mother? Promising never to associate with you again? I mean this is what YOU yourself said. But you have proven to be a liar before,,, I have proven that very easily,,, Just with your own words in the last two days. Lowest form of life harry,,, you appear to be a low form of life,,, a union isn't a choice for you harry,,, it is a necessity,, you are a minority harry, you belong to 16% of the working population. lol,,, "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...

Tom,
Well if you're gonna bring up squirrels.... Once upon a time I was eating some popcorn in my back yard. Along comes a squirrel. So I proceed to throw it a few kernels. It moves in closer, I throw it a few more. Next it maneuvers in closer still. Next it jumps straight up about three feet. Next I drop the whole bag of popcorn and jump back. Shame on me. Couple of days later I'm out there again with popcorn. The squirrel reappears. Sure enough the exact same scenario appears. This time I'm expecting it. Sure enough he does his jump but this time he goes away hungry. Damn squirrels. :-) Paul "Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message ...

Wife runs cat off. later there are at least 30 small birds and 1 dove on the feeder or the deck. They all bust ass out of the area. A Sharp Shoulder hawk comes flying through the deck area looking for lunch. |

I keep squirrel baffles on all our feeders as we got tired of the squirrels stealing the food. I live trap (havahart traps) squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks on our property due to the damage they cause. I would love to be able to release them all onto Krause's property. I kill trap mice and moles....worthless creatures other than food for predators. Perhaps Krause would like them also. The deer, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits and the like should be thinned out each year during the winter through a natural process....survival of the fittest. Feeding them only disrupts this process and causes over population. |

Harry,
In this neck of the woods (Michigan) We had some human fatalities when motorists encounter deer. I'm not a hunter myself but I can see the need for their work.

Not sure, but Harry's probably more concerned about stupid hunters than with
hunters in general. I spend quite a bit of time driving (to fishing spots) in rural upstate NY. There are thousands of private property signs, and the reason is simple: There are hunters who think that if they miss their target, the bullet or shotgun slug turns into a marshmallow and drops harmlessly to the ground. And, many of them don't obey the rules regarding distance from hunter to the nearest dwelling. A friend of mine has a couple hundred acres of farmland just outside of Rochester. He's found hunters crouching in the hedgerow 200' from the back of his house. Clearly, these people know they're trespassing. In some cases, they become argumentative and tell him that because they're being careful, he shouldn't have a problem with their presence. Sometimes, he finds his signs ripped down. In one instance, he and his wife pointed out a sign to a hunter. The guy ripped the sign off the tree, tossed it on the ground, and ****ed on it. A former neighbor, his brothers and their dad are hunters, but the right kind. Unfortunately, not everyone is like them. "Paul Schilter" paulschilter@comcast dot net wrote in message ...

Harry,
I can certainly agree with your privilege of not having hunters on your property. If you wish to allow nature photographers then that's very generous of you, perhaps more than I would be. I just make the point that the deer herd does need a method of managing their numbers. Not only for our sake (the motorist) but for theirs as well. If too many deer inhabit an area they suffer from starvation and or malnourishment. People and wild life just aren't too compatible, sort of a shame but that's what passes for progress. I'm sure the Native Americans can confirm that. Paul "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...

Harry,
All good and valid points except #4. If I had "No Trespassing" signs posted I wouldn't expect to see picnickers on my property. Paul "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... snipped My only real problem with hunters is their referring to their slaughter of animals as "sport." It isn't sporting to shoot an animal. I don't allow hunters on my property for the following reasons: 1. I am protective of the critters who live on and around my property. They are under enormous pressure from developers and motorized traffic. My wife and I - and our neighbors - like to watch the animals and think that there should be areas where they are not harassed or hunted. 2. I don't want to walk my woods and encounter empty beer cans, whiskey bottles and fast food wrappers. I also don't want ATV idiots on my land, or trail motorcycles. 3. As Doug points out, I don't want anyone on or near my property discharging firearms withour realizing their discharges travel some distance when they miss, and can be dangerous. 4. I don't chase off anyone armed with only a camera, or carrying a blanket and picnic basket. |

I have no objection to anyone walking the woods who is armed with a camera. The Coast Guard station just down the road had to euthanize about 25 deer this past year. The herd was just getting too big, and the young were being found dead of starvation. When we get rid of the natural predators, man must become the predator.
