Scale'em, cut the head and pec fins off, gut'em, pull the dorsal fin, and deep fry the rest. Ate LOTS of panfish that way with my grandparents and loved every one of them. Nothing wrong with a wire basket full of 8-9 inch bluegills and a pan full of fried potatoes. Now I'm hungry.
There are always a few trees that don't do well in the summer heat and dry that start to go a bit yellow. I have a couple in a tree row that look downright sad right now.
Hell, every time I go duck hunting the whole sky is FILLED with UFO's. They are flying and I don't have the faintest clue what their identity is. Seems to happen more and more with people too. I see'em.....but I can't identify'em. Oh well, time to have a drink and not think about it. (Grin)
If anyone cares, a good solution of dawn dish soap and water sprayed on the underside of plant leaves does a bang up job on aphids and other insect pests that get doused. Works good on tent caterpillars as well if you soak the webbing with the solution. The soap breaks down the waxy layer that...
Never been tossed out of a boat before, but I've broke through enough thin ice to know that cold water is not something I like to be immersed in and it's damn dangerous to boot. Thoughts and Prayers for strength to the family and friends of this man.
Politicians never met a tax they didn't LOVE. Too much govt stupidity is dependent upon fleecing the people through property taxes. Where will they get the carte blanc to "inspect" your homes if not for the guise of property tax assessments and record everything you have done on your own...
With the DISMAL winter we and the critters just endured, it was nice to see a little life. It was just a single, but it was bouncy and made me smile. I don't think there will be a bumper crop of fawns or even an average one, but I hope I'm being a "chicken little" here and enough does were...
That would be a job with NO UPSIDE. Regardless of what you do, some landowners and members of the public will think you satan incarnate. Saying no to depredation claims by landowners won't get you regular permission to hunt in a state with all land posted. Nuisance animal control is looked...
I pray he finds the help he needs, but I would rather he skip the felon tattoo if possible. Not making excuses for what he did, but that one sticks with a guy. I'd say with fair confidence that a good percentage of NDA'ers have done their fair share of stupidity with the help of adult...
I like the abrasion resistance of floro over straight tying to pp. The rocks where I fish chaff and nick the pp making it a fuzzy mess, especially the knot. IMO, floro is much more resistant to that and so I think I have to retie much less. It could be just an aesthetic thing and a fuzzy knot...
