I have been cleaning fish with a knife for 55 years, recently bought a Big Bubba electric knife. Everyone was eager to see how it worked. I blew it big time on my first fish, too many spectators, was stressing me out so I put the electric down and went back to my knife. Few days later I was out on my own and brought a haul of northerns and walleyes. I picked up the Bubba and started again, this time on my own without a crowd. I went slowly and learned the knife. Presto I use the Bubba for almost everything except for pulling the y bones out of pike. Haven't mastered that yet with the Bubba, But I will get there. I am now completely sold on electric filleting knifes, wish I would have had it years and years ago! Sure takes out a-lot of the work!

Timber wolves were never native to Wisconsin. The red wolf was the indigenous canine. Tree huggers never considered that, or they knew it and introduced timber wolves anyway. Timber wolves kill for sport, not just for food. They will wipe out sport hunting in this state. That's exactly why they were introduced. By introducing another alpha on the food chain, pretty soon, one of our reasons for hunting, balancing the deer population, goes away and makes it easier to outlaw hunting as cruel and inhumane.

Not even close, any biologist knows that hunters high grade the genetics for antlers and body size minimizing the number of times those top end animals breeding while in their prime. Predators in the wild keep herds moving inhibiting them from over browsing areas increasing plant biodiversity something humans can’t replicate.
