Answer by Jeff W
A good gun to buy is a Ruger 223 but I don’t think there cheap. I assume you’re dear hunting so you’ll need: a gun (with a scope), a grunt call, ammunition, a blind or stand, some type of feed to put out (I prefer corn), a good hunting spot (walk through the area you might be hunting and search for deer trails, oak trees because deer LOVE acorns, and place that supply food. After you kill a deer, you need to skin him then gut him, or you can get him processed by a deer processor. Hope I helped.

Paranormal TV? Anybody know?
Question by jimi: Paranormal TV? Anybody know?
I was watching Ghost Hunters “Haunted Hotels”, when 38 minutes into the show, a voice said my name. “Karen”. It was the usual growly, creepy voice associated with these events. I was STARTLED. I went and got my husband to watch it and give me his take on it, and he said he doesn’t hear anything. I played it over and over for him, blasting the volume, and he says there is nothing there. I fast forwarded to “Analysis and Reveal”, and NO mention was made of this verbalization. Like they did not hear it, or catch it in analysis, so apparently did not originate there? I have it on my DVR, I don’t want to record it on a voice recorder because it seems a little to familiar for comfort. OKAY. My question is: can these things travel through the tv and are these shows any at all safe to watch? Please some one respond. I am FREAKED OUT.
My son came and watched the segment with the voice, he heard it. We watched the segment and listened to it about 30 times trying to come up with some kind of explanation. This is what my son came up with: The DVR is a recorder, not much different from those used in the show. Perhaps the DVR recorded something on it’s own or rather something used the DVR to make a recording. A couple of interesting points:
1. The recording was made during a ghost hunting reality show.
2. The verbalization was not in context with the story line of the show.
3. After listening intensely, the sound is separate from they show, in other words, one can tell that the sound was “overlaid”, or sounds like an independent track.
Now, question and HOPEFULLY answer time. Is this thing in my house or traveling around electrical circuits? Why and how did it know my name? Why did it call my name? Once again, response gratefully appreciated.

I know a little about some of texas politics and i still ask, how did we ened up with bush?
Question by Ginger R: I know a little about some of texas politics and i still ask, how did we ened up with bush?
i moved to texas from oregon when i was 19 to go to college. in one of my classes a professor talked of political persons who have ran for texas political offices. i can remember one, brought a repoter to his ranch for a “honey hunt.”! he would get women from mexico, drop them off on different parts of his ranch and that night him and a bunch of other men would “hunt” them down! he also said “rape is like bad weather, you have to take it as it comes.” i love texas, but man, sometimes i don’t get ‘em. how in the world do we have a president in office that stems from this?

Answer by trickygirlb
The guy you are speaking of is Clayton Williams he ran for Governor against Ann Richards and lost. If he would have won then George Bush would not have been governor when he beat Ann Richards in 98 and there for would not have run for president in 2000.
BTW, I loved the great Ann Richards and wish she wold have won again, but in 98 George W. Bush won the governorship on the platform of legalizing it for Texans to carry concealed handguns. This was the same time that Florida was having problems with the carjackings from people running into cars with their cars, so it was a hot topic issue at the time.

can you eat the meat i know they’re considered pests but i dont like to kill for no reason can the pellts be sold
Best answer:
Answer by Larry
You could sell the pelts, but you may need a trapping license. You could skin them out and make rugs and wall tapestries for your house or something. I would also STRONGLY suggest you don’t eat them, they are probably gross and they may have some type of disease or parasite.

Q&A: I just don’t know what to do!?
Question by I find your lack of faith disturbing: I just don’t know what to do!?
Okay, well, we’ve been having some problems with our dog lately.
Here’s some background. He’s an 8 month old German Shorthair mix, we think heeler and/or jack russel terrier. Very high energy dog, and very willful and stubborn. He’s great with other dogs, and he loves kids. Despite his hyper, rambunctious personality he’s very gentle and patient with our 9 month old daughter.
So what’s the problem? My husband and I are NOT on the same page as far as training goes. I like NILIF training and I like my dog to have some shred of respect for me and do what I say when I say. I like a dog that doesn’t jump on me without invitation, doesn’t mouth, paw, or claw at me, and doesn’t walk right up to me and demand attention. I like a dog that, though excited, can sit still long enough at the dog park gates for me to unleash him and give him the verbal okay to run through the gate.
My husband thinks all of this is excessive and doesn’t “want him to be a robot”. Consequently we have a dog that is generally a good dog while I’m home but as soon as my husband gets home it all goes out the window. The dog starts counter surfing, stealing food from the baby while she’s in her high chair (he does not do this when it’s just me), sniffs at the trash and sometimes pulls something out, jumps, barks, whines constantly, plays with anything BUT his own toys, and is just generally an obnoxious pest. I quickly reach the end of my patience and he gets banished to the gated off stairwell or his crate so I don’t have an aneurysm and scream.
He’s a puppy, and I know that, part of the problem is I have little patience for rambunctious puppies, but I knew what I was getting into getting this dog, and I THOUGHT my husband was on the same page as me. We’d discussed training and all that before we even inquired about his litter and at the time we agreed on everything. We get the dog home and after a few weeks I found out we have wildly different ideas of what a good, trained dog is.
I’ve given him an ultimatum, either we get together and make this work or I’ll take the dog to the humane society myself. He’ll be reading up on NILIF training all weekend while he’s not out hunting, until his eyes bleed. We’re going to get into obedience classes so we’re both a little more on the same page. I’m really looking for more ideas to help make this more paletable for my husband. He just doesn’t understand that a stubborn dog needs consistent leadership, and that training him to obey his commands consistently is good for everybody.
He seems to think it’s just a puppy being a puppy and that the dog will simply grow out of it, but lately he comments on how the dog should be settling down by now. I don’t think he really understands that this isn’t a phase, it’s an unruly dog that is getting mixed messages, doesn’t know his place, and doesn’t understand what he needs to be doing.
Does anybody have any other useful links or advice for BOTH of us? I’m open to advice as well, I’ve dealt with some rowdy dogs before but I wasn’t living with somebody else at the time, so there were no mixed messages being sent and there was no confusion. Trying to handle this without turning it into a fight is taking enough of my will power as it is lol.
I’ve put an ad on Craigslist to rehome him, but I’m having second thoughts because, naturally, I love my dog and really would prefer to keep the little bastard. If I’m convinced by the end of the weekend that we can figure this out I’ll have the task of telling several people that I’ve changed my mind and that I’m terribly sorry for wasting their time. I feel like such a jerk, either way.
So yeah, ANY advice would be appreciated, since most of you seem level headed enough and I do value your opinions. 
No TD from me, either, that would just be silly and counterproductive.
@Donna – Ha! Glad somebody can relate!
@James – I stopped reading after your third word.
…okay I read the whole thing. I’m trying to avoid rehoming him lol. I’m asking for advice or links to helpful info to kind of nudge my husband toward not spoiling the dog 
Kona gets about an hour walk every day, and/or a trip to the local dog park where he runs nonstop for at least an hour. I’m thinking of kicking up his exercise, though, because it seems to me he may need more…
@Jen – She’ll be up on Craigslist before you can say Human Trafficking! XD
I like the idea of filming the “good dog” during the day while he’s at work, and filming his behavior after he gets home. I think I’ll start keeping a little video diary starting Monday, great idea!
@ms manners – So true. He’s a very understanding guy and he likes to say “but you know best since you’re home alone with him all day” but I don’t think he actually understands
With our daughter so far we’re on the same page. With children we’re very like minded, but I thought we were with the dog, too, so I guess we’ll see!
I may start handing him the leash when we’re out on walks as well, I usually have dinner on the table when he gets off work, but if I’m running late the dog sure could use a walk.
Thanks, getting a lot of help so far. I do want to compromise. I don’t want a robot dog, either, but I need a dog that is reliably obedient. Husband doesn’t like the idea of getting rid of him, though, so I think the rehoming threat has helped him see just how frustrating this is.
…Thumbs Up for James Dean because it IS a valid suggestion.
