Nobody likes a snitch, lol!!!

Aw chit JT-you know they outlawed them in Vegas!! Sorry, they're mine and I can't get any more-I tried sending off for another pair (was thinking maybe the ones I have are defective since no can see through Ladies' clothes) and my order form and money can back from USPS as "Undeliverable". I think the Gummint passed a law against selling them any more in about 1968 (probably some commie Viet Cong plot from Ho Chi Minh). Bastages!! You'd think for $1.99, they'd work after all-I do know I keep them next to my Napoleon Solo Spy Lunchbox/gun combo. I guess you sent off for Jethro Bodine's "Double Knot Spy" handbook!! I knew that was a ripoff right away (especially after I tried making my version of Oddjob's Steel Hat like Jethro did-it hurt my haid)!

Everyday is a long day. I own a pair of "X-Ray Glasses"-they cost me 2 lawnmowing jobs back in 1966 when I ordered them from the back page of my Superman Comic Book-I can see very clearly through Gummint's Cloak and its current desire to control every aspect of my life, I'm just disappointed that those same glasses cannot see through ladies clothes as advertised when I bought them .

To all others:

If you cannot think for yourself, please be sure to check if your gun is loaded by looking straight down the barrel with your good eye and pulling the trigger. To check your gas tank (boat, car, lawnmower or whatever), use lit matches to see the level of gas in the tank-you will know right away.

If you are stupid enuf to shoot at someone without intent to kill them, then WTF is a course going to do? I have always been taught "You cannot fix STUPID." Ignorance is another thing-ignorance can be cured-look at the ignorants that run their i/o ski-boat behind San Luis Pass-sure enuf, after one try, they learned. A stoopid person would keep trying to ski behind the pass; an ignorant person would only do it once. I do not think a law is needed to outlaw skiing behind San Luis Pass-some folks may, I do not.

Moral of this Post:

Send emails and letters to your State Reps and Senators as well as the TPWD and VOICE your opinion; otherwise, you may find a "new tax" on something you did not want taxed!

Funny how everybody got along fine for the past 5,000 years or so without all this crap.

(I didn't think, at the time, to shoot back)

Do they have tags for that?

I think you should take a boaters saftey course and a hunters education course. You learn what others have learned through experience and you are not the one with the bills.

Jerry, you can't be trusted.
We, with the Harvard degrees, need to take care of you for your own good.
Pointy objects like fish hooks are way to dangerous. And hey, hooks kill fish!
And that cheeseburger will shorten your misery under Our rule, so it needs to be a turkey burger with non-fat cheese.

Oh, and don't look at that man behind the curtain (with the Big Mac).

Ya'll need to come by for a cheeseburger and a beer and let's rebel together.....

No texting while Paddling, No kayaking in school zones. If you're stoopid enuf to kayak at nite w/o lights, maybe you should be dead anyway. Bunch of BS. GW's are not busy enuf busting Q-tips (outta state snowbirds) and folks w/o a license.

Problem is-look at Hussein Obama-elected by the Moron Majority-the folks that cannot act, think or do for themselves.

I see it this way-if you are stupid enuf to text and drive, I hope ya hit a bridge piling and die-period. If your drunk and wreck your boat or car, I hope you die. If you are a gangbanger and get shot, I hope you die.

If enuf idjits die, then the dead doomazzes will aid the remaining gene pool since they will be dead and cannot be bred!! Good riddance.

I don't need some gummint law telling me when to wipe my rear or nose, but apparently a majority of "sheeple" do-I wish they'd die also. Had the majority of idjits been dead (not just braindead) in 2008, BHO would not be POTUS since only morons and welfare dregs voted for the demogogue.

Wow. Long day?

A boter safety class and ALL that registration crap is all about taxing your a$s$ off in another form. its just about as insipid as requiring the hunter safety classes and ALLLLLLLLLLLL that other b.s.

I agree about no more taxes, though I do wish the stupid ***k that shot at me (over a deer herd and across a property line) had taken a hunters course. (I didn't think, at the time, to shoot back).

Here is a quote from Jon Leason of the Coast Guard Auxillary (for whom I have been recently corresponding, to schedule a vessel safety check, for a boat):

"I have not been following the tpw kayak developments as closely as you have. We can do a vsc on a kayak but it is not as meaningful. Operator experience, conditions and judgment can overwhelm whether or not the few required safety items are on board. A boating safety class is a good idea for new kayakers, sailors, and power boaters alike."

[Oleander Kayaker]

I have almost run over a kayak. I stopped and apologized but also pointed out that I could not see him, I had my running lights on and he did not.

Same yak you were hunting during duck season?
(just joking)


I agree that a safe yakking/boating course would be a good thing and government intrusion is crappy. Considering that TPWD is going to undergo cuts, funding a yak registration program would seem to be remote for the near future.

Rather then forcing government to intrude for the public good, a voluntary yak education/certification program would be one solution (like what the Coast Guard Aux., does for boaters with a vessel safety check). But succeeding with such a program is like herding cats.

[WestEndAngler]

What would the funds collected for registering a yak go too? What would it do for the Yaker?

Ask TPWD...?
