You aint gonna believe this one......
 

Some of you may remember Big Country, he hasn't been on here in awhile but he got this at work two days ago. A guy who works for him came in and told everyone how his cousin shot a coyote locally on his farm with two ear tags. One of the ear tags supposedly said Colorado Fish and Game with a phone number. The hunter called the number and said he shot one of their tagged yotes. They asked for numbers or something and the guy said " wait, I shot this thing in Pa"
The Colorado guy supposedly said were not supposed to talk about this but Allsate Insurance Co has been buying them to release in Pennsylvania to help keep down deer claims.

Whats really hilarious is that this guy absolutely believed this story 100%

Wonder how far this one will go around here.... Anyone else heard this one???? If you bought it, I got some prime Florida swamp land to sell;)

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

So Bob, how much you want for that land in Florida? Hey, tell Mitch to get his butt on over here! :D:D

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

Bob, your in the insurance business aren't you? How many did you buy this year? Wait til the naysayers get ahold of this.:D

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

We had a choice. We're a little agency, so our budget only allowed enough for 25 coyotes or two mountain lions with an abbagoochie thrown in if we bought during the sale. I wont tell you where we released the abbagoochie but be very careful along Cambells Run Rd;)

BM,
I dont try to tell anyone with a butt that big where to put it, not even Mitch!;)

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

I knew I saw something strange while spotting there this year. :D

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

Hey 902, Just got word that we're getting an extra load of coyotes. Probably got enough for around 600 acres or so. Know of any posted ground where we can drop em off? Maybe a hog farm up near your camp?
We'll wait till they get fat on piglets and we'll call em in and win the big mosquito creek coyote hunt.;)

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

So Bob, I now know why Mitch hasn't been on, he is probablly up at the local burger king ordering everything on the menu! :D

P.S. I heard that the PGC is now releasing flesh eating cattle out in the woods of PA to try and take care of the deer herd. Could be a rumor, but I believe it :D

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

Ulysses.............any conspiracy information we need to know about this?:D

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

That's too funny Muzzyman88, too funny:D:D:D

No need to stock yotes.....too many as is...

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

as my daddy used to say : believe none of what you hear , and half of what you see.

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

That's pretty interesting but the way I heard the story,it had a State Farm tag on it.It's also a strange coincidence that in the last two years,at least 3 tractor trailer loads of coyotes have broken down on I80 and the turnpike.Considering the fact that's illegal to introduce game into this state,you wouldn't think they would put a tag on it to trace it back to the source.

People are nuts.I'm an Allstate agent myself and I can tell you for a fact that deer collisions have very little effect on my loss ratio.

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

Boy this is the best one I have heard yet.
Although I do belive that Ins. CO's are putting pressure on deer management for all the DEC's.

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

yall want some twolves over there we could package some up and send them to ya also get that one started

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

Insurance companies are not particularly worried about any cause of loss that they can quantify and rate accordingly for. They give half hearted lip service about bigger things but deer claims arent even a drop in the bucket in the big picture. I've been in the ins biz for 28 years and have never heard any company express any concern over deer claims let alone lobby against them

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

I'd bet you get more loss ratio from fake comp claims and worked up I got a buddy that fixes that claims.

How about the ...... if a doctor gives you advanced notice that you will be going on fully disabled status in a handfull of monthes. just enough time to get all your affairs in order with disability insurance and go out and run up as many loans that are fully covered by disability insurance against the loan, get as many credit cards with full disability insurance and run them to max and in 4 monthes time after the doc puts you on full disability........ well darn the timing. It's better than filing bankrupcy and was done all by the letter of the law and leagal and legit with a fully disabled status.

Not I on that but do know of someone that did just that. I'm fully abled and working.

that one has to be a real real bummer for you guys.

I'm sure you got some doosies of stories of bogus claims.

I feel for you insurance guys...... to many people looking for angles making every honest person pay more.

RE: You aint gonna believe this one......
 

I only deal with home,auto and life insurance.The vast majority of people are pretty honest with these lines.Just like everything else,a certain amount are always looking for an entitlement though.I'm just an agent not an adjuster or investigetor.Those guys have tough jobs.

BTBowhunter is 100% correct.Deer claims are a drop in the bucket compared to other losses.Until deer have the ability to sue motorists,they concern me very little.Insurance companies do not lobby game managers in any way and have nothing to do with game management.I've asked many times for someone to show evidence to the contrary and so far no one has been able to.
