The Purge: Hunters Edition

I’d stack up on roadkill owl feathers. Like a true felon. And maybe drop a few yards of Alka seltzer at a boat ramp.

I didn't even think about my fly tying supplies. I need to find a good supply of heron and wood pecker feathers that day too!

Ticks. Since we're in the realm of the imagination, I would pay to have devised a solution that kills all ticks, making them extinct.

I’m always hesitant to disrupt ecosystems at scale without knowing what will happen. But man, if we could lose ticks and skeeters, I have to imagine we can cope with the consequences! Let’s do it.
 
The major issue is ticks are a major food source for turkeys and other wild birds we all enjoy hunting……or could we just find a way to stop the diseases they carry?

Again, still feel sorry for you all that depends on Thermacell....STILL have not used mine. But I agree with you there, if its ecological possible/responsible, stinkbugs also can go join the dinosaurs.

But honestly, there is nothing I really want to hunt or massacred within my local area in 24hrs. Some of the response seem to be more 'dream' hunt, not something of a vigilantly mindset.
 
Well I'm boring and was thinking I'd just take a discount for elk and maybe bison because they taste good and I'm too cheap to go on out of state hunts but the bald eagle joke did inspire me a little.

I'm stocking up on Sand hill cranes, the ribeye of the sky, apparently!
 
To give an actual answer I'd probably just hunt my neighborhood. Lots of fat deer that don't run away like the ones in the woods do lol. Definitely not as sporting, but that would be a grocery run. Then I'd spend the rest of regular season riding the struggle bus as I do.

This^^ I've always wondered what they taste like. If they're considered sea cows, what cut would you try first? I'm on board for a couple ribeye.

Something tells me they’re tasty from head to toe. Or flipper. Or whatever. Gotta be bacon. Their muscles don’t have to support any body weight against gravity.

I remember deer so bold they walked out in front of traffic that stopped and waited for them in broad daylight - and they all had immense, crazy tv-special racks. They owned the place, and they were everywhere. Just the memory of it is painful when I walk out of hunter-filled woods having not seen a dang thing.

My little fantasy is entirely childish, impractical, stupid, dangerous, messy, wasteful, expensive and I don't even approve of it myself. But... Purge, man. Gotta admit the idea is ratting around in the "when I was a kid I imagined this" closet.

3 or 4 fully charged electric golf carts, couple friends, couple cases of beers, a 16ga, .22 pistol, feral cats, Canadian geese, and city racoons....

I kinda hate golf carts (it’s called walking, teenagers!!!), but I’d totally buy a golf cart for that kinda purge day… need one with the fold down back seat and add a little rack to the roof for Texas side by side hog hunting style. Driver and 3 shooters

I have looked across the sea of whitetail backs there myself. I would more go for a comfortable sniper post with a sweeping view of the cove and a dialed-in suppressed rifle with a spotter to call out ranges but maybe that's just more my style hahah

Placed a feeder in my backyard the first year I purchased my house to see if there are any deer in the area. If I had some noticed for upcoming Purge, I would put back the feeder and setup one of those giant net trap that you see in movies for the whole herd.

I'm making up 12 dozen arrows with rubber blunts and heading straight to the nearest sizable population of penguins. Uppity little bass turds. A bow hunt for feral chickens in Hawaii would be a close second.

I must say though, a cgu11 hunt over decoys and a snack launcher sounds like a big time though.

I'm purchasing a case of lead #6 shot and a case of doritos and heading to the nearest boat launch to shoot seagulls until I feel recompensed for all the times they've shat upon my head.

I always thought about the seagull thing. They're a nuisance, crapping on people's docks and boats... You throw crackers out at the beach, hundreds of them fly in.

They're too entitled. No consequences for their actions. Should be open season on them. You blast a couple hundred of them and they'll learn.

To avoid wanton waste, the marinas should take them, breast them out, add some garlic powder, and turn the meat into discount catfish bait.

Everybody wins... :tearsofjoy:

Edited to add annoying meme...
