Then all of the commissioners in La should be kicked out after the pogy vote. It's a damn patronage position not a Mensa meeting.

Will Primos wants him out because ol baw isn't doing enough to curve CWD. So money set him up.

Crazy story here.
#1- he was definitely setup by someone that didn’t agree with him
#2- I didn’t know raising Free-Range crickets was considered baiting

Ok, lets be logical. The ONLY way this could have been discovered is by word of mouth. In no way could a game warden walk into a field and find that it has been BAITED with crickets.
that's my thing: the entire situation is preposterous. There's no way an leo comes onto property and says, "yep, they're baiting with insects." It's absurd. He had to be set up.

Hunters probably got busted when the green jeans spotted their cricket buckets.

If you’re gonna bait em even if they are bugging in an area you need a couple of the big boxes they drop at bait shops.

They definitely like some crickets and grasshoppers.
They home in on chirping crickets

Or so I am told

Guess you would need to build a large cricket corral to keep them in one spot?

Turkey trot lines baited with crickets was a running joke for a while on the Georgia Outdoors board. I didn't realize people actually did that.

BRB. Gotta rig up a pocket-sized cricket cage before tomorrow. Hit up the bait store for 9 crickets this evening.

Never trust a crooked cricket dealer, they'll flip on you in a second.

That's the craziest thing I've heard. No way it sticks unless they have some video evidence or found the crickets in some sort of weird turkey feeder contraption.

We are all supposed to search for bugs now to make sure we aren't hunting dirty. Someone hooked that old boy up within a month of his re-confirmation.

There's an ongoing beef between the commissioner and a former newspaper editor from South MS who has his own radio show on SuperTalk MS. The newspaper guy constantly brings up this guy on his show as "someone who doesn't follow the science" re: CWD. Newspaper guy had Primos on his show a couple weeks ago. That episode is HERE.
Then the commissioner fought back at the last commission meeting. That can be found HEREand should start at the point where he makes his statement.

Matthews and celebrity hunter wants feeding banned to slow the spread of CWD, Bentz wants to see a study that banning supplemental feeding actually slows the spread. No such study exists that anyone can show.

No idea. But if anyone could make a call for crickets it would be Will.

Will Primos is a sportsman , gentleman and a bow hunting extraordinaire. I am proud to call him a friend.
