Hey instead of whining, why not go to field D. I heard there are lots of 11 pounders there, and from what I can tell, no one has bothered to check and see if the dirt is still safe to walk on

Okay,I'll try field D.I heard it's only good there between 11:00 and 2:30.Anything other than those times and they stay in their holes.(I guess I could use my underground camera to find them though.
I heard that if you access field D just off the highway on the west side between the poplars it should be OK.Don't go near where Dave lost his boot that time,it's like quicksand.

I can't wait until the dirt thaws, so I can get out the truck and go trolling. It is always more fun, sitting in the truck, if you get hot you can jump out and go for a dirt roll, as long as the guy in the next truck doesnt see you in your honey hole and pull up right next to you.
Of course in that field, you aren't allowed motorized vehicles, cause of all the tree huggers, so you have lean out the window and push the truck around with a stick. Bah.

I'm not too sure who the "official" scorer would be in Alberta.I used Mike in Sask.when I lived there.
Just remember when measuring the gopher that you measure from tip of nose to tip of pinched tail.(you cannot include the intestinal trail left hanging after a shot)

And you should know that only 30-06 is allowed on that side of the meridian so what you were doing was illegal and immoral.....
Believe me I know the rules. I work for Jim SHOCKEY and Im a cop and you guys are all gonna be condemned to hell for mocking my 30-06
Now excuse me I can't stay here long. God and I are going to the Sportsmen show...but we have to pick up Chuck Norris on the way

Beside the new robo armed gopher, the gophers have hired, I heard there in the process of ordering the body scan system as well.  That should make it tougher for those road warriors to enter the field.

The guy in the Blue Ford Dually had 2 way radio's, and I am sure they were talking to someone in an airplane that was flying over. I saw a couple guys put their tin foil hats on, little paranoia after cabin fever?

Saw the wierdest thing out there, one gopher was showing another gopher what I thought was a bullet lodged in it. I thought I 'd take a closer look (with my spotting scope, not my rifle) and I noticed it wasn't a bullet, but a large BARBELL peircing, what gives, anyone anything about that?????

Hey, don't blame me for blabbing about the location. I learned about it on a website propogated by some jerk making untold millions while ruining people's secret honey holes everywhere! 
I am soooo, done with that place anyway. Left my groundblind out there for the season only to have it burnt down........
.....so while out there the other day cleaning up the mess from the fire, along with all the trash others have left, I saw something through my rifle scope that nearly made me spill my beer!
There they were, Ken and Gazelle, (Jeeble or whatever the hell his name is) strolling through the middle of my line of sight, hand-in-hand, using Ken's redesigned bonkers. The 'Gophinator1000s'.
By the look of 'em, this new design takes a minimum of 12 D-cell batteries to power, would make Jenna Jamison blush, and rumor has it were inspired from a drunken night parting with Ron Jeremy and a couple of french guys.

I taught Ron everything he knows, Jenna Jameson and I were the teachers
Did your order of the 12 Super Magnum deluxe turbo Geezleators arrive? Be sure to charge them for twelve hours before use, and remember what I told you last time, you can not have the 'personal massager' and the oven on at the same time, you only have a 200 Amp breaker!

Money? What money?? Who in their right mind would pay to see tha.......... um, nevermind. Some questions are best left unanswered.
Shucks, I can see it now (unfortunately). Ken + Jenna Jameson + Ron Jeremy observing behind glass. It'd be the porn world's version of King Kong!
PS I notice Geezer is avoiding this conversation like the PLAGUE.......chicken.
