Hunting is necessary for other things tho, like for wildlife management.
Why is this necessary?

Look it up smart guy.
Oh I know the answer but disagree with the answer.

Why not? Cichlids will rule. I'll get him a wife first. My pleeks too

he'll die when the water gets cold, if not earlier.  also, it's generally considered a poor idea because of the risk of transmitting diseases to native animals.  if it was an animal that could survive in the area you let it go, it would also be generally considered a poor idea because of the risk that it might outcompete native species.

It'd be a science experiment. Perhaps a lake or pond would be a better idea? What about the plecostomus? It's in the catfish family at least.

Ideally I'd let him them go in a pond and see how that plays out.

it's not really an experiment since you would have no means of measuring its survival.  also it is a question to which an answer is already known.

Smart guy doesn't agree with science sys.  Don't waste your breath.

It has been a long time since I've felt a desire to go hunt at all. Lately, I've been thinking about spring turkey season quite a bit. It was always my favorite season. I think I'll see if pmsDad wants to go together this year.

So SdK is not ok with killing animals unnecessarily, but is planning a science experiment that will most assuredly lead to the death of his pet animal?

I too am itching for the gobblers.  Are you good at it?  I suck.  But I only hunt public so maybe that's the problem.

i hate waiting for animals.  all those animals that people typically wait to come to them, i just walk around until i bump into one.  or at least i did when i was still hunting on the semireg.

I like trying to find them and then even more trying to sneak up and kill one.  The stalk is the drug for me. 

I also like learning the biology and habits and using that knowledge to help me find them.

Sys why have you stopped hunting as much?

laziness and living in the wrong part of the world.

I greatly enjoy calling them in. The old family farm was a great habitat for them. It was quite easy.  They always roasted in one of the tree rows that separated the fields.

I hadn't heard about this issue with the Remington model 700s.  I always assumed them to be a standard, reliable, bolt action.  Pretty crazy to see how Remington has hid the dangers of these weapons.  If you have one make sure it's repaired.
