Since we were talking about camping and canoeing in the iPhone thread, I took it upon myself to start a thread for those who enjoy the great outdoors. Post places you have been, pictures, stories, yeti's, dueling banjos, animals you've shot or places you want to go or are going to in the future.
I am looking into Wyoming this upcoming summer. I'd like to check out Grand Teton and some other nature preserves/parks.
I shot a buck back in 96 and have killed many small animals
I have taken many shteins in the woods. None greater than on top of a mountain in Colorado
I ALMOST got drug overboard deep sea fishing in the Atlantic at 3am in 600 ft deep of water. The line snapped as I was on the edge of the boat
I cliff dove into a lake in Ontario and have cliff dove into the Caribbean Sea
I have smuggled animals across the canadian american border only to have them die in a aquarium
Your all a bunch of candy asses, I knew it!
Everyone is just pretending you're lost in the wilderness and no one can hear what you're saying.
going into the wilderness is gay

That's me doing a cannonball off a cliff on the Current River in Missoura.
I'd really like to get a kayak to kick the hell out of some Class IV rapids. Where's a good place to do that at?
No idea, google class IV rivers
I'll play.
Until I moved to Boston I camped, hunted and fished a lot. Camping more than hunting, hunting more than fishing. When I was a kid I went fishing all the time but that's because I lived in Michigan for a few years and the state is like half water so all anyone does is fish. I basically went hunting with my dad because it was the only thing other than sports and colorful language that we had in common.
I've shot all sorts of birds and small game as well as many many deer. I farging hate deer. They're just delicious overgrown forest rats. I'm hideously allergic to them, so field-dressing was always a massive pain in the ass because my face would swell up and I'd get hives all over my shtein. But I love venison and my dad is a super whitetail-killing robot from the future so I actually hardly ever ate beef while I was growing up. This had the outstanding side-effect of allowing my wang to work properly since I didn't eat all of that bullshtein, steroid marinated, beef that is causing girls to hit puberty at 12 (which in turn is causing the rate of statutory rape to skyrocket, fascists).
Sadly, I hate getting up before dawn, and hate staying sober outside even more so I won't be hunting again any time soon, but I would imagine that I will teach my children how to murder some tasty deer so that they have something to talk to their grandfather about.
Oh and I put my thumb in the butthole of some chick on the Penn State golf course once.

if that's not the great outdoors, I don't know what is
I shot a dove once with a BB gun. My grandparents neighbor cooked it for me when I was like 10. Taste like greasy chicken!
I'm a city slicker. And I live in Texas.
My cousins live in PA and they're rednecks. They hunt anything that lives.
Although I like camping.
Phreak's riffing like he's high on mescaline.
I grew up in Kensington and North East Philly mostly so I'm not really all the out doorsie kill furry animals for food type. I like my meat dyed red and dead. I don't want to see it in its original form. I just want it tasting good and drowned in bacon.
That being said I've been to several military wilderness type survival schools. One was a lesson in how to live off the land and avoid other humans and the other was just how to live off the land. Those schools really cemented my love of supermarkets. After a week in the woods eating snake, drinking pine needle tea, and whatever the farg we could scrounge trap and get our hands on I filled my shrunken stomach with bacon eggs and greasy hash browns till I almost puked.
Civilization > then Pseudo survivalist bullshtein.
My 2 cents...
I love fishing, mostly surf fishing because it involves drinking, on a beach. My inlaws have a place up in Houlton, ME way up where I95 stops and canada starts. Lake fishing is awesome, but all i want to catch is one of the landlocked salmon they have in the lake
Got into hunting this year, and didnt get to take down a deer, but i enjoy getting hammered the night before at the farmhouse we use, then getting up and waiting to kill a deer, i look at it as revenge for causing 3k in damage to my car a few years back. We go out for deer and bird, and the farm that we use is on the Sassafras River and really a sick property.

Upper Gauley River in West Virginia. They release the dams in the spring and it kicks ass. Class 4,5 and 6 with a 12 foot waterfall at the end.
Oh, and the outdoor stuff....I get out there once in a while.
Those are class IV?! Maybe I should start out with III then. Regardless, thanks for the hot tip - I'm sure I'll make it to the Gauley this summer.
you should start with this and work your way up grasshopper

Since I was a wee boy I've always been an avid fisherman. I fished everywhere from Maine to Thailand, and love just about every type, deep sea, surf, fly fishing, handling. If I had to pick one spot to fish the rest of my life, it would be the Chesapeake in Fall.
I've hunted on occasion, dropped a few deer in my younger years, but never really got the sport of shooting an unsuspecting target with a high-powered scoped rifle. Went one time with my uncle, and he taught me the art of bow hunting. This is a sport. It is also incredibly difficult, expensive, and time consuming, which is why I never got any good at it.
I still camp often, as a boy scout back in the day, we hiked about 2/3s of the Appalachians, and in the military years later I had the opportunity to realize how much I loved and missed backpacking in California, the Carolinas, and parts of Asia. We try to do it as a family now twice a year.

holy shtein, i thought that was Mike Rowe, pretty awesome. I'd love to buy one of those for Chain Pickerel, farging things are a pain in the ass to debone
Went hunting for waterfowl this past monday. We got out to the fieldblind at 630am, and did not get a shot all morning. Went back out in teh afternoon and shot a goose. The guy i was with does all of the calling, and i think he sucks since he hasnt called in a damn goose or duck all year, and he never switches up his calling. Anyone have any tips for calling?
I ended up getting the Mosin Nagant 91/30 rifle. Ended up being 90 bucks after shipping/fee's from the dealer. It fires 7.62x54r rounds. I bought some Silver Bear Ammo for it which is according to reviews out there pretty good ammo. We took it out at the farm and shot off a few rounds. These rounds absolutely shredded some trees from 60yds, enough that there was a tree limb that was 10 inches thick, and it hit the side of the limb, cutting a 1 inch deep channel all the way thru. Ready for zombies and deer
Shredding trees with firearms is always great outdoor fun!
It should be done with this:

I like killing big game fish. Tuna, Shark, Marlin Dolphin, Striped Bass. I try to get out 12-15 trips a year. We cavalierly break limit and size laws and have never been caught. We boated 36 striped bass on a trip last year and 88 blue fin tuna on a trip the year before. There is absolutely zero enforcement of the limits when you are on a boat.
Also, "The Great Outdoors" is a fantastic movie.

The guy I fish with spent 2.5MM on the boat. He spends another 50K per year in fuel, maintenance and dockage. All that is money back into the economy. If he wants to harvest a renewable resource, why should the government regulate against it?
so that the fish are still there when you're grandkids suckle dick on their rich friend's boat
Ignorant, racist, douchebag clown.
yea i have to agree. a big farg you goes out to stalker. this is an appreciation of the outdoors thread. karma will get you guys one of these days. your no sportsman

They aren't going anywhere. The way I figure it is; if all you tree-huggers are right about global warming, we ill be able to keep the boat up here an extra 10 weeks/year. Also, we will have more and larger tropical pelagic species in the NY bight.
there are reasons for limits dickface
It's all just theoretical bullshtein. A few supposed scientists relying on faulty, limited evidence take a guess and jerkoffs like you treat it like gospel. Sounds a lot like the global warming scare of today or maybe the new iceage insanity of the 70's.
Like I said your no sportsman. There are limits to all sorts of hunting and logical reasons for it. I fish and hunt, I'm not a tree hugging PETA supporter by any means nor do I preach it, but what you and your buddies are doing is wrong. Your a freaking poacher. Imagine if everyone else in the world treated wildlife the way you are. Like I said Karma's a bitch
Yeah, the whitetail deer and eastern black bear restrictions are great science.Also, a lot more sensible is a season per/person quota. In big game you have a lot more skunk days than over-limit days. If, in reallity you averaged out the fish caught per man per trip, the number would come out a lot closer to the limit. Also, recreational fishing has never put the pressure on the bio-stock that the commercial fishery has.
there is no exact science in restrictions, its impossible to predict nature I am not saying they are all correct with the regulations they have, but its the principle of regulations and reasons why you can't kill animals to your hearts content. its immoral.
I am saying that it is self-limiting. It's a big farging ocean. Somedays you catch a lot of fish, some days you catch nothing. If I went fishing for say Stripers 30 days last year, I could legally take 90 fish. If I happen to take maybe 50 all year but 20 of them are on 1 trip, what farging difference does it make? I am not limiting myself because some icehole scientist says to. Let the pricks catch me. I like my odds.
Wow. What a douche.
I hope you get those lovely fines, because sure seasons suck, but you gotta play by the rules.
not if you're rich, or if you swing from rich nuts, according to stillupfront
Good morning Dio. How are you today? You seem to really hate that Stillupfront guy.
My pops and I are going to look at 76 acres of land for sale in PA Thursday. Mostly wooded/big timber, a meadow or 2, a stocked trout stream runs through the land and the owner said he saw 3 bear last week. We have been looking for a cabin or some land for awhile now. There is no cabin, but to own 76 acres of Penn's woods would be priceless in my book. A camper/trailer could be put on it temporary, until we get funds for a more permanent cabin. I hope it all works out. :drool
Trout season starts in PA and Delaware on Saturday, and i'm going for the first time over in White Clay state park along the PA line. They're stocking it tomorrow, should be a good time. Gonna have my flask ready to go, i'm just doing a spinning reel, dont feel like learning fly fishing just yet. From what i've read, and people have said, the best place to focus on deep spots in the creek and holes before the rapids.
i get my fish from the grocery store. i find that the best place to focus is near the deli meats and frozen food section, just before the veggie burgers. and i don't even have to wear a silly looking hat with hooks stuck to it.
I'm foregoing the silly hat, i have to pick up some waders though, since they're apparently cheap at the sporting goods store, and everyone i've talked to said to spend the 30 bucks rather than take a chance with my rubber hunting boots. I will have a badass MOLLE backpack
i get my trout fried with rib tips and hot sauce
only equipment necessary bullet proof vest
Going up to northern PA April 16th weekend on Pine Creek for Trout. First time fishing for trout since I was a kid. My guess is there will be more drinking than anything that weekend. Can't wait!
i'm not a huge fan of trout. or maybe it's bass. i forget. regardless, i'll be grilling up some salmon tonight. thawed it yesterday and it marinated overnight in some teriyaki w/ fresh minced garlic and chopped ginger. :drool
I'm oddly not a fan of Salmon, just too strong a fish for me. I generally prefer white fish, i'm racist. The one thing that does suck about opening day is its super crowded, and we have to get there at 530am to get a good spot.

we took in 8 yesterday, though i'm counting one i got on shore, and it kicked out the hook and got away. We put one back. I caught one that was 15 inches, great catch, my first "Trophy" sized, though we just cooked them all up last night. Got out there at 6am, couldnt cast until 730, but we got a good spot on the creek.
Sorry for the giant pics, i'll adjust my settings on photobucket next time.
:yay
The water is still too fargin' cold down here to catch anything. There's been a few being caught in the surf but the river & back bays have been dreadful. I took my kid fishing this afternoon and didn't catch a thing.
Meh...

Back to the outdoors. I got into hunting two years ago since one of my buddy's had a place to hunt. It was a nice setup, 2 waterfowl blinds, 3 deer stands, a field pit, and best of all a house for us to get drunk as farg the night before. My buddy's cousin paid for all of this to the tune of 22k a year(the guy is ridiculously rich). Anyway, the farmers kept jacking the price up, to nearly 30k last year, and he said farg them and decided not to rent the place out. Sucked, but i didnt pay for shtein so not my problem.
He bought some place recently, apparently for over 8 million, huge acreage down west of Ocean City. Its off the charts, and i'm farging stoked for this fall. The land was owned by Lord Baltimore at one time, and this property has 3 houses on it, one 5k square feet, Yay capitalism. Either way it'll be fun to go down there for weekends this fall/winter.
I hate you.
I hate millionaires who build 5k square foot houses they never use.
Just because you can afford it doesn't mean the world can, icehole.
What's the world's pocketbook have to do with it?
'Afford' can have a broader application than strictly financial. Rich fargers can pay for whatever they want, regardless how it affects the world around them. Take a nice big plot of pristine land, tear a hole in it, cut down 40 acres of trees somewhere in Georgia for materials to build a giant empty house, pave a road to it, etc... The environmental cost to put up an ostentatious, unused hunting lodge pisses me off. It's waste, in a word. The world cannot afford waste.
Bu it's America, you're free to do whatever you want as long as you have the money and it's legal. And if you've got enough money, anything is legal. F everyone else.
He's looking for a caretaker to do everything year round, i want to know how much he'll pay because i'd do it in a second if its what i'm making. The property is mostly fields for farming, and he'll let farmers do their thing and only charge enough to cover farming tax. I dont know when the big house was built, but i'm sure we'll end up staying in one of the older farmhouses just so we can walk in muddy as hell, and not have to worry about damage. All i can say is this guy is just a normal dude, but if he wants something nothing stops him from doing it. He's about as down to earth as you can be for a guy with his money.
Yeah let me know, I'll take care of it if you don't
I'd be surprised if he paid more than 25k

I didn't think you meant fiscally. The world's already farged; no need to recycle or concern yourself with the welfare of future generations. Overpopulation and industry are going to burn through the resources sooner than later
Most of the timber for lumber comes from the pacific northwest now, for what it's worth. I'm not shore but I believe that Georgia has put a halt to a lot of the logging they used to do.
It could come from Brazil for all I care, it's a round farging planet and the waste which rich people assume is their birthright infuriates me.
Some of it does. Brazilian hardwood is some of the most expensive stuff on the market.
I built a bar outta' some Brazilian purple heartwood. No shtein, thats what it was called. Damn stuff's sawdust was almost toxic. Wasted a mess of blades.
It's not almost toxic, it is toxic.
Got pics? I'd love to see that.
Was a long time ago. Wish I had of taken some pics.
Up where my inlaws cabin is is a huge business for Pine and lumber in general. Most of the land around where they're at is owned by the logging companies, and the roads are logger roads, and are scary as shtein when a truck fully loaded rolls by at 50mph on dirt.
The view from my inlaws, across the lake is all logging company land, but they made an agreement to not develop it if they were allowed to put wind turbines up.
One of the things my Dad wanted when purchasing land or cabin with land was logging it. You can make thousands and if there is natural gas on it you could possibly make millions.
i still regret getting rid of property in potter county after my mom passed. my dad didn't want it and i was too busy getting stoned to care when he asked if i wanted it.

They're being processed right now at Hershey's Farm Market (http://www.hersheysfarmmarket.com/deer.html) should be ready by next weekend. I'm getting Sweet Bologne/Italian Sweet Sausage/backstraps/steaks/and ground venison made. Everyone who goes up either does their own deer or has it processed. No wasting going on, just packing a freezer.
i dont even know what that means...i may be too much of a city slicker to be in this thread
You don't just shoot a deer in the face then sit down next to the carcass with a knife and fork and start eating it. The processing is taking the deer and turning it into those different kinds of meat
so you throw a bloody dead deer in the pickup and head to the chophouse?
im serious - i dont have a farging clue how this all works.
Yes...or you tie it down to the hood of the pickup
Yep, you can do it yourself, but i'd rather pay the money to have someone who knows what they're doing make me some processed meats rather than just steaks and roasts. The part that weirds most people out is field dressing them(cutting open them and removing all of the organs).
How about you explain to him how before you throw it into your truck, you have to stick a knife into its just dead warm body, slice its under belly open and pull the piping hot guts/organs out out by hand so it doesn't spoil the meat! Now that's the fun part!

I've had that deer bologna, not sweet but made with pepper cheese. You talk about good, give me a stick of that stuff with crackers and beer during a football game, yummy. I miss my boy hunting since he joined the Navy, he was good for two or three with his bow every year.

The one buck I shot I hit him in the sweet spot, he ran about 30 yards down the hill and flipped over dead. By the time I got to him he wasn't breathing. Thankfully. White tail I have never really found to be all that good, it's too gamey. My dad went to Colorado for a few years and hunted Elk. Now thats good eatin!

yeah a i regret letting our property go. 17arces. it was actually in new york, west stuben county but our southern property line was the pennsy/potter country border and although the hunting was supreme there i never tried it. i sure did a ton of trout fishing at the lake though.
Yeah its true Dh though that wasn't my deer. the better the shot makes that shtein not necessary. I thought it was more amazing that it was a zombie deer than anything.

Did you pay extra for the kitchen phone with the 30 ft cord?
shtein that thing is older than MDS. Gotta go old school, cordless sucks in storms
I bagged a buck yesterday at our new cabin in Bedford Co. PA. We have 60 acres and I shot him at 3:30 yesterday afternoon. Drug him 20 yards to our driveway and loaded it into the truck. Too easy! He was a pretty big 6 point.
What season is it up there? Firearms just opened down here.
One of the guys on my job stopped by first thing last monday with a small buck his father had taken (bow) an hour earlier. Not very impressive, which was good because we did not need to hear the old man crowing about it all week.
Rifle just opened yesterday. Two buck I've gotten in my life came on the first day. Been lucky so far!
Nice Mussa, pics look sweet of the camp. I'm heading up to Flinton/Coalport Thursday morning. Guys i go with got 4 already opening day.

Wow 4 buck? That's pretty good. Good luck man! Still waiting on my meat...can hardly wait to try it. I found a beer marinaded bacon deer burger recipe that sounds really good.
Just 2 buck, 4 total. I actually got my Doe tag this year so I have my backup. I had my deer done at Hersheys Farm Market, the Italian Sausage and Hot Sausage were awesome. The Sweet Venison Bologna is off the charts too
since you're so happy with the sausage, feel free to donate the backstraps to me
Apparently i forgot the part it was first week, so no does. Just 2 buck. I ended up not taking anything this year. Had a buck with an atypical rack, basically a giant antler, with only two horns. It was missing the other rack, so without 3 to a side I couldn't legally take it. Doe started yesterday, I didnt see shtein all day.
Dio, I still have some nice venison steaks sitting here from last years take. I'm just gonna be lazy this year and take a few from the yard. I just dont feel like driving 5 hours next week.
Yeah it was that way in western Bedford Co. for Doe the first week. We just got the place in August so it was too late for the tags. Next year I'll def be getting a tag.
I cooked my first roast Friday in a slow cooker. The meat just fell off the bone, so good and tender.
Can any of you identify this snake? It's a female with four juveniles. Some kind of water snake, I think. Northern water? Eastern brown water?
I saw it this morning beside a creek in Cromwell Valley Park in Baltimore County.

Looks like an Eastern Kingsnake
http://www.dnr.state.md.us/wildlife/Plants_Wildlife/herps/Squamata/EasternKingsnake.asp
I dunno. browsing the site you linked to, it looks more like a Northern Watersnake than anything to me. The Eastern Kingsnake seems much darker, the white stripes more defined, and the coloration on the head of the Kingsnake don't match.
It's a northern watersnake Dio. Thus why its nest is right on the water's edge. Just as the site says, looks a lot like a water moccasin which as a kid we always thought they were.
Yesterday I found a bog turtle wandering across my driveway
http://www.dnr.state.md.us/wildlife/Plants_Wildlife/herps/Testudines/BogTurtle.asp
It's a crazy looking shell on him.

Also have a ton of these lizards running around
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m267/jeepwrang1994/IMG_20120317_153701.jpg)
That's a five lined skink (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eumeces_fasciatus). They're everywhere down Annapolis way (where most of my work is).
Nice Dio. I was thinking it was a skink. Funny the wiki says this
QuoteThese skinks tend to be most abundant on the coastal plain in the southeastern United States and along the Gulf Coast. They have now been seen in increasing numbers in the northern Chesapeake Bay Region of Maryland particularly along the shores of the Elk River
since thats exactly where I am. They're all over the deck and house. I had one get stuck in tyvek tape i had around the front door. It released its tail to get away, but it's entire back was stuck. Coolest thing was after i was able to peel him off the tape, it ran across over to my other hand, and stood on it for a few seconds, then ran off.

I recently saw a Garter snake, a ribbon garter, to be precise, catch a frog by the left foot and proceed to swallow the whole thing. I got some of it on video...wicked cool thing to see. If I get some time tonight I'll upload the videos to YouTube.
two short phone clips of a ribbon garter snake eating a frog, as mentioned earlier
yes, that noise is the frog distress call.

CRICKEY! You're a regular Steve Irwin.
Right before the frog was gone was the creepiest part because all you could see was it's face: an open mouth and moving eyes, inside an open mouth with moving eyes, being swallowed.
Yesterday I found a young Eastern painted box turtle in my mom's back yard, which is in Baltimore city, near Herring Run Park. How the farg it got there I don't know. I moved it down to Millersville, where I was headed on errands anyway, and dropped it in the protected Severn Run area.

(image too large, so click if you want to see it)
I was hoping the second video would be of the Frog getting away. Poor little guy.
I thought about saving him at the very beginning but decided to mind my own f'n business. Snakes gotta eat too. Besides, it was far too fascinating to interrupt.
So wait a minute.....you hung around long enough to see the snake get the entire frog down it's gullet but you only recorded it getting 1 leg? Dick.
Also, that turtle looks a lot like a red eared slider. Are you certain it's a box turtle? I can't tell because it's head is tucked in, but if it had any red stripes around it's ear area, then that's what it was.

Oh hi Steve fargin Irwin. I heard you were dead.
We're getting a lot of Steve Irwin and things up asses lately. I wonder if there's any way to combine those.
Not a red eared slider, I'm sure. And no, I didn't get video of the whole thing. I had to work. It took the farger like 20 minutes to get Kermit down the hole.
The wife and i planted a decent sized garden this year. The same day we get the garden setup, i saw our first groundhog of the year. After two weeks, i finally had a chance to eliminate that problem and did yesterday. Took the dog into the woods to make sure the deed was done and holy crap the ticks are bad out. Pulled at least a dozen off him ranging from regular brown dog ticks to 5 deer ticks that we could find. Scary as can be that they're smaller than a poppy seed.
That does look like a red ear slider. Box turtles are more tortoise like more round, that guy is more sleek and slender for swimming. IDK....
Speaking of outdoors I just drove through my dads property after work and saw a fox and a snapping turtle when crossing the stream.

So what did you shoot it with? My Dad shot a ground hog years ago and he grabbed his deer rifle for some odd reason. Well he aimed for the head and hit dead on. There was nothing left of the ground hogs head as you can imagine. Overkill if you will....
Yeah, I didn't want take out the big toys so i stuck with a Browning .22LR and subsonic rounds to eliminate that extra pop. Definitely didn't blow up like a woodchuck pinata. I would have left it alone, but every day he was creeping closer to the garden presumable to see what sprouted. F that. I lost half our canteloupe and almost all of our zucchini last year because of one of these fattys.

farg 'em. It's not like they're endangered.
My friend recently had to cull a big brave raccoon who spent to much time too close to the house. He didn't like doing it, but the alternative is unacceptable: Four year old goes outside to pet the raccoon at the back door....
He at least has the respect for nature to dig a good hole and bury the carcass.
I actually hate having to kill mice if/when they get in the house. Little fargers are just trying to survive I'd honestly feel awful killing a raccoon or something. But it's a necessary evil I guess.
a geccko got stuck in a glue mouse trap i had from my mouse escapades last year...he was going after all the bugs that the thing traps....anyway he was on there for like two weeks...and each day or so my girl would tell me hes moved...im like no way hes alive much less moving...then a week later she goes into the garage and the litle farger is gone...this cat a centimeter at a time wiggled his way off that trap over a almost three week period and made it out....pretty amazing
Dude's got a job to do, everyone needs to know about their great new low rates.
So I was out golfing at the course I work at the other day and hit a ball up near the pond on hole 12. As I get close to the edge I see a shteinton of crayfish everywhere right at the edge reaching up to eat grass. By far the biggest crayfish I've ever seen...I lived next to a creek when i was younger and there were always some small ones down there, but these things looked like small lobsters
(http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/582292_620667651961_667381402_n.jpg)
And shortly after I took this picture, one of the geese turned it's head to look up at the tree above and squawked...and some sort of hawk/eagle/crow took off and flew away like it was scared. Geese are badasses.
(http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/301792_620668016231_207001885_32051552_1075576811_n.jpg)
So...pass on the rot weiller and get geese?
Probably the best advice I've ever had.
They are mean mother fargers...especially when they've got some fresh hatched babies
I haven't seen trees on a golf course in like 3 years.
Our course is only like 6500 or so from the tips, but it's a little tight and there are a ton of trees that get in your way if you're not on the fairway. It plays really tough, a lot of the public play come in thinking they'll put up a good score and walk away with rough days.
Every year we get at least two geese couples who decide our parking lot islands are sacred ground. So that results in them getting 8 parking spots each. You have to watch out for them walking outside. My coworker was walking up steps from the parking lot and got more or less attacked. I just wish i had a camera rolling. So in summary. Geese while awesome to look at, are ignorant agressive pitbulls.
If you fight back they aren't so tough.

We had a deer die in our pond at the cabin. Not really sure how it got in there, but hey say wounded animals will go to water. Most likely the deer was hit on the road or clipped. So instead of wading into the pond and trying to drag it out, we put about 800 bullets through it in order to sink it. Well obviously that didn't work. Apparently the fatty tissues inside act like a plug to the holes. We should of bought defensive rounds to blow out the backside, but at the time I wasn't thinking correctly(ie drunk). Last reports were that it's all but decayed, only a small part of the deer was still floating. I guess we'll skip getting in the pond for the next few months...
Should of.
Drinking and shooting firearms.
We finally got around to ripping our dilapidated deck down. To recap, the idiot who built it 10 years ago didnt use pressure treated wood, but used Trex on top. As we were taking the deck down, we found 15 lizard eggs that were in nests in the crumbling wood. I have the eggs incubating in the garage, hoping to save a few of them.
Sounds like a Jurassic Park reboot.
I started fishing this summer. Fishing just wasn't something I did as a welfare kid with a single mom and no dad around, and I just never got a chance/got into it until this year.
Things have changed. I spent the summer fishing white perch out of the Magothy and Severn Rivers, and frying them up for dinner. Delicious.
Today, I went fishing for rockfish for the first time. We used a surface plug and I got my first two keepers. The small one was 21.5" and the large one, pictured in the link, was 30." One fillet from that fish is just out of the oven, will be eaten within moments.

Hard to be grumpy when you spend the day drunk and fishing.
Awesome Dio.
Finally got my second deer of the season. First deer was a large 5pt buck. Yesterday stuck a 115lb doe from 50 yds with my assault crossbow. Having 7lbs of jerky made, 10lbs italian sausage links, 3lbs Jalepeno/Cheddar slim jims, 3lbs Trail Bologna and the rest in roast. Really need to just give in and buy my own supplies to make this stuff
Good job, Rambo.
That's Jonathan to you sir.

For what, two deer a season? How many would you have to butcher yourself before you make back what you put into the supplies? Seems to me the guys who do this as a service are great value, particularly when you factor your own labor into the cost of doing it yourself.
Not to mention gutting and skinning a deer is yucky.

You're right there. As many deer as I've had by this year, I've been pretty selective. Preferably if I had the equipment to do the sausage/cuts then I'd save 300 bucks this year. Got a smoker for christmas, figure I can make my own jerky and save the 8.50/lb. The guy I go to now is priced a little higher than some places in PA, but he's closer. The main thing for doing your own cuts is you need to hang the meat to get the gamey flavor out. That part I don't know a good way around unless I build a shed.
You'd spend how much to save $300 and 8.50/lb.? What does the equipment cost?
With these winters we're having nowadays, you can't hang 'em outside; you need some refrigeration.
Anyway, put a :CF sticker on that jerky and send me some.
Meat slicer is only around 100 bucks. I have a meat grinder. Have the smoker, but like you said the main thing is having somewhere cold enough to hang it for an extended period of time. I have a small 5x3 shed that i guess i could cut a hole out and throw in an AC unit. on average it costs about 150 to get a deer deboned, and to get the amount of jerky/sausage that i'm happy with. In the part of maryland that I'm in, there's only one place that does the processing. Everyone else does their own. Like i said, good guy, but its 85 bucks just for him to take the hide off, and to debone the meat. If he was around 55 like other places I wouldn't even be considering this.

I'm gonna be trying a few recipes for some of my leftover steaks from last year. If it turns out well, i'll send you some. Still owe you for NFL Blitz for the OG Xbox
took a 20 inch rock today while rowing around perching. 29 nice white perch, the rock..and my friend gave me 8 jumbo crabs from his live box....gonna be a nice family dinner tonight.
time to start cleaning fish.
Awesome Dio. I've been slacking on getting out this year. I'm going out of Rockhall on a charter in a few weeks to hopefully get some good Chessie action.
Perch cleaned out to 41.5 ounces of delicious fee-lays. I'm staying in a nice house on the South River over Labor Day with some friends. I'm hoping to catch enough perch while I'm there to cook dinner for everyone (six adults, five children) one night but if that doesn't work out, I'll have today's catch frozen as a back up. Either way, we'll have a nice fish fry.
The guy I was fishing with caught a monster white perch yesterday, same place we were today (Severn River). 13.25 inches, 1lb 4oz. He took it to Angler's to get it certified.
Off to my Mother's for family dinner, bringing the crabs to steam off as an appetizer before burgers and hot dogs.
Went out rockfishing last Sunday out of Rock Hall, and had a blast. Went out on the Miss Caroline, Captain had us on the fish from the get go. Limited out in just under 45 minutes. After that we went jigging for perch and blues. I've never been put on the fish that way where it was a given as soon as your line hit the water it was fish on.
Word I hear is that it's a banner season for rockfish. I've limited both times I've been out for them this year. Caught my first croaker this weekend. He was maybe eight inches, not a keeper. Great fight and pretty fish. Getting ready to fry up dinner for six caught in the Rhode river south of Annapolis over the last two days. Took twenty one white perch so far. Good times.

That's what the captain said. We livelined spot, first time I ever fished that style. I'm hoping they may their way up north soon since the crabs never came in at the top of the bay. Rain has killed the crabbing season, but the fishing in general has been phenomenal. I personally caught 5, there was 8 of us on the charter. I had a sick 30 incher, but it had some nasty lesions on the side and we threw it back.
Last week in finally got a good sized buck that i've seen for the past two years. Atypical rack, 9 point, 8 points on his regular antlers, but he has a completely separate antler making him a 9. Maybe he was a unicorn? Either way, ended up with over 100lbs of meat and viddles. Going full redneck and getting him mounted much to the wifeys chagrin.
guess i should post this in here. this is the biggest fish i caught on my recent salmon/steelhead trip. 40in 26lb male king. caught in a run off of the main river in about 2 11/2 foot of water. 10 minute plus fight to land him and didn't use a net. didnt land any steelheads this year but i got my daily salmon limit (3) everyday and then was letting kings go.
if you've never tried salmon fishing during the spawn run you are missing out on one of the best experiences you can have in fishing IMO.

Nice, wasnt sure if you went to the west coast for that trip. I've attempted to fish for landlocked salmon up in Maine, but they're difficult to goad out after April.
yeah the fight these fish put up is amazing. these roll right in out of lake ontario. if you're lucky you may hook into an atlantic but thats rare. it's usually the kings, cohos, steeheads and borwns that are in the river during the spawn.
i finally broke down and upgraded my rig on the last day this year, bought a noodle rod (10ft)with a nicer shimano sedona reel. up till then i was using a 6.5ft ugly stick and a entry level shimano 4000 series reel. catching these fish was a challenge to say the least on such light tackle. the new set up felt great. my son nailed one the last day on the new rig. said it felt great. stoked for next year. may do a spring trip for the steelhead spawn.

do they say why wolves brought back the trout tho?

Quote from: ice grillin you on March 08, 2014, 09:05:44 AMdo they say why wolves brought back the trout tho?

I don't think so. I'd guess the relationship is not direct, but more beavers+more habitat to hide/feed in, less runoff=cleaner healthier water, etc. And yeah, more fish would mean fewer frog eggs--don't think trout eat whole frogs like Bass do--but there are probably knock on effects that improve the overall conditions for frogs as well...
Basically, I have no idea.
The part about Elk explains it
Anyone here following the White Marlin Open?
Quote21 BOATS FISHING FOR WEDNESDAY FISH DAY 3
The final 3 fishing days should be very interesting for a number of reasons. First, there is still almost $2,000,000 of unclaimed prize money. Second, because of Tuesdays weather forecast most of the 288 registered boats stayed at the docks and still have 2 fishing days left. Third, many boats have discovered where the marlin are. And fourth, the weather looks good for the rest of the week.
Only 65 boats ventured the weather today but boats that fished had as many as 5 white marlin releases. The Bar South out of Key Largo Florida brought a white marlin to the scale that was 3 pounds shy of or 70 pound minimum and the 1.1 million dollars that first place would have paid. The "Dream Time" out of Manteo, NC had 5 releases and weighed a 26.5 pound dolphin good for 2nd place and $1,500.
Other movement on the leader board included the "Judge" out of Cape May, NJ had two whites released and weighed a 29.5 pound dolphin good for first place and $15,600. The "Iceman" out of Secretary MD weighed the first wahoo of the tournament, a 66 pounder caught by Kenny Lord from Cambridge, MD and worth $15,600.
So the stakes for the final 3 days of fishing are very high and the weigh-ins should be busy. With over $2,000,000 still up for grabs, captains and crew will be using all their skills to find and hopefully land a billfish that could be worth it's weight in gold.
Watch the weigh in's live 4pm to 9:15pm http://www.whitemarlinopen.com/marlincam
They really need to invest in better cameras, boats start weighing in at 4pm.
no but the bass pro tour is on the delaware.
the boat with the Contender flags is my dad's buddy. Sick boat.
niiiiice
I went fishing a couple of weeks ago for the first time, night fishing trip a few miles out in the ocean (5:30pm-9:30pm)...they had a jackpot for $6 for the biggest fish caught...of course, I caught a Sand Bass, heaviest one on the boat, won the jackpot ($80)....rookie luck!
Pretty cool.
*P.S.
I was the biggest Hoyda when trying to get the bait (anchovies)...took me 5-10 minutes to grab one. A few kids that were on the boat made it look too easy. When I'd finally hold on to one, I kept hooking the fargers in the eye or their heads. I kept saying, "Sorry" to the bait. By the time I got that hook through the nose, the bait was dead....but still got a few tugs on the line. Good times! :yay
Smeags.... Next August the Bassmaster Elite series will be held in North East, MD. If you end up heading down let me know, same goes for anyone which probably is comprised of Dio. They're expecting 30k visitors, seems like a high # but either way should be pretty awesome.
On that note, a buddy and I bought a 16.5 princecraft with a johnson 40hp on the cheap. Picked it up for duckhunting, fishing, and just as something we can drop in the water easily. The boat was actually used by a commercial crabber, so it's got no frills, no seats. Does anyone know of a good placed to find used boat parts ie seats? Easternmarine has some nice stuff but I dont want to drop over 130 per pedestal seat.
yeah that sounds like a plan. will that be near the bay at ? my son and i have always wanted to fish the bay. could do that and check out the tour if its close enough to each other.
Down where the tourney will be I imagine they'll mainly fish the flats which is more of a Grass covered sandbar than what i would consider the "Traditional Bay". The tourney will launch from Anchor Marine which is just past town, and without traffic 7 minutes off I95.
Here's a pretty good breakdown of the flats and fishing for Stripers. Lots of smalls/largemouth/trout out there as well.

It would be a stretch and a half to call me a fisherman. Mostly, I harvest white perch for cheap food. I did catch a beautiful rockfish a couple years ago though. God damn that was fun.

i was watching it this weekend cause its in philly...and me and my wife were both cracking up at the fans....they don't do anything but sit on the shore in a some bleachers and scream and yell when the fishermen came back to weight their catch...a few dopes also go out in their own boats and follow their favorite fisherman and literally just sit there and wait for him to catch a fish then clap when he gets one....its creepy and sad all at the same time

So I went Body Booting on the Susquehanna flats last Friday. The Flats is a large stretch of sand bars between the susquehanna river and the north east river, which connects to the mouth of the Chesapeake bay. It's a pretty wild experience standing in 4-5 feet of water in a survival immersion suit watching thousands of migrators. Video starts out looking towards Havre de Grace.
Got in the water at 730, didn't get out till 1. It was calm which wasn't exactly the best conditions for waterfowl, but a heck of an experience.

do they have a good striper run in the area ?
yup, it's the same general area where i put up a link a few months back. In the summer I'm normally close to that same spot with boat anchored and drinking beers with 30-50 other boats rafted up. Its a party spot in the summer.
There's different spots on the flats that produce alot of good runs depending on the time and temp. They use the flats and the susky as breeding grounds.
Just up from there is Furnace bay which is is largemouth bass city. Lots of videos on youtube, but here's one with your boy Iaconelli.
