Certainly is a nice fish! Mepps spinners have also always been one of my favorite lures. A high school buddy of mine used to sell tails from the squirrels we hunted to Mepps. I wonder if they still buy them. I'll be retiring a few years down the road and I could generate some pocket money while...

My knee-jerk reaction is to join the crowd claiming that the average citizen does not need the type of rifle such as the one used in the recent shooting. But I have two problems with that viewpoint. One is that there are countless individuals who feel the same way about the guns that I do use...

You can’t lump everyone now rushing to buy firearms into the same group. I’m sure they range from the crazed to those just doing the logical thing, considering the circumstances. Putting aside the debate over whether these guns should be legal to buy or not, if you are on the side that does feel...

Many of these old fashioned techniques were not bad ones in the days before tick borne diseases, especially Lyme Disease. But the problem you need to be concerned with now is not the tick, it is the microorganism living within it. Anything you apply to a tick that is nasty enough to make it back...

Good point. That's why I'm trying my best to sit this one out. I'll save my views for my in-laws' house next week. I don't care if I piss them off. ;)

Exactly. There are so many issues that can be gone into and debated regarding gun crime but in this case a mother who apparently was struggling to control her son to the point of seeking outside help failed to secure her guns from him. The fault is clear.

Isn't it odd that we have the capability to find organic compounds on Mars but can't find a several hundred pound species within our own nation? ;)

Very nice!

I also avoid the woods this week, for the reasons Redneck stated, even though I’m a hunter myself. I much prefer waterfowling and the solitude of muzzleloading for deer. But I’d like to echo the sentiment that there really is little to fear from a safety standpoint. Getting shot by a hunter is...

I would think twice of even driving a 4x4 through that go around. I think some guys just watch too many truck commercials.

That's not so hard to believe. Only a few weeks ago I was just about to call the police after frantically searching the supermarket parking lot for my pickup. When I reached into my pocket for my cell phone I also pulled out the keys to my wife's minivan, which I had driven there. Just seconds...

Very cool. While I’ve never had this happen to me, I’ve had many other unforgettable encounters and experiences while hunting, having nothing to do with the kill, which would not likely have happened while pursuing other outdoor activities. Hunting often results in a more complete immersion into...

The trail system at Wells Mills County Park has been closed since the storn due to the large number of hazardous trees on the trails. The trails have been cleared and are open to the public again. The children's playground is the only section closed until the harzards surrounding it can be removed.

I did a little duck hunting in the local saltmarsh yesterday myself. If it wasn't for the damage to structures and docks along the road leading to the spot I put my canoe in I would have never known there was just a severe storm. Nature absorbs the punishment we received much better than...

I dodged the bullet Guy. Water came within three houses of ours. I had trees down but nothing serious. We just got our electric back last night so I've been off the web (no smart phone). Several friends and many neighbors lost their houses. I have three friends of my children living with me for...

I couldn't find my coloring books but among the stuff I just packed is a bandsawed decoy blank and my carving tools. I'll stay occupied, wherever I end up. :)

I'm considering sending them off and discreetly hiding out here anyway. I'd prefer not to impose on family or friends with two dopey labs in tow. ;)

Being a few hundred yards from the bay, I'd likely be pulling up stakes, mandatory order or not. With a wife and three kids to think of, it seems the sanest thing to do, mandatory or not.

Who pays for WMAs isn't relevant in this case anyway. The Parker Preserve isn't a WMA (nor are county parks). WMAs are also not closed to the public during hunting season.

Not much choice here. Just got mandatory evacuation notice.
