Just Gulp

I figured that was part of it - but that's exactly why I prefaced my comment with, "From a conservation viewpoint"... The conversation people are having is all about "why don't we have as many turkeys as before?" And the answer to that will have nothing to do with fairness. As @chenrossi says, too - who cares who kills the birds? 100 hunters kill 1? 1 hunter kill 100? It's all the same. One may not be fair over the other, but that is irrelevant to the effect on the turkey population. If it's a question of we are killing too many turkeys, then NJ needs to lower the quota (the number of permits it sells) - it isn't about how many an individual hunter can, or should, kill. That's not NJ's system. Now, if people want to have a different discussion - about the fairness (or not) of the current system - that's fine. But that has nothing to do with the harvest or the turkey population or why the turkey numbers are lower. The answer to that lies elsewhere.

7' medium action rod. 12lb braid. Most of your fishing is shallow. 6-15'. 1/2oz jighead. 3" gulp. Chartreuse. White bucktails 1/4-1oz. Don't worry about a cast net. But get a quality net to land your fluke. Don't lift into the boat. Slide them into the net. If you have a depth/fish finder try and find the edges/dropoffs/slopes. Depending on tide the fish will stage there.

I have a 14ft boat. I work near Absecon. I’m trying to get into fluke fishing. What rod nd reel set ups do you recommend. And style drift. Cast etc. thank you I’ll be fishing the bays near AC and near 7 bridges I think near old fish place

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the changes that (for example) Tennessee made a little over a year ago. I believe they kept open trapping seasons months longer specifically to coincide with turkey nesting periods. There were other things they implemented and from what I remember it was a bunch of aggressive moves to help the turkey populations. I'm not sure this would ever happen but creating a separate "nest raider" trapping season (without needing to do trapper education first) for use with dog-proof traps targeting raccoons and possums would be great. Those DP traps you could teach a 5yr old how to use and they only target the two most detrimental nest raiders known to turkeys. I'm not trying to disregard fox/coyotes, but one of the main reasons turkeys are so paranoid and skilled to see movement is a built-in defense to those predators. I personally have no issue with the trapper education course aside from I simply do not have time to devote a weekend to the two day training, plus I am not really interested in trapping anything beyond the nest raiders.

This week, SB 152, SB 194, and SB 214 received final passage in the House and will soon be presented to Governor Jeff Landry for his signature. These bills show the Louisiana Legislature's continued commitment to protecting our Second Amendment rights in the Pelican State.View the full article

I've seen more birds this year in 14 than the last couple. The issue is they have adapted to the houses during nesting season. It dosnt help that every senior has a bird feeder and put corn in their yard for wildlife. They have no reason to leave

Most of those guys want it to be fair. But those guys not harvesting wouldn't any way

Because it is not fair according to some. I did not take a bird this year. Still might during d but I let a few Jake's go and was close a few times on long beards. Spring harvests have very little effect on population. What we need to do first I'd push for habitat improvements than focus on predator control

It doesn't despite many still walking into a wall convinced it somehow does matter (looks something like this) .... Example, I've taken several people who have harvested birds I would have otherwise personally chased myself if I didn't have them along. I've been finding some new tag soup recipes in between taking people. So what's the only difference? Who shot the bird and got to put their tag on it, that's it. Rocket science!!!! Instead of me shooting 8 myself with the tags I have, 8 different people did on their 1 tag. Harvest is still the exact same. Math is hard for some to grasp I guess.

I make sure to do several things while I'm eating carnivore. I do these things normally anyway, but while carnivore I make it a point. 1- I incorporate a bit of organ meat once or twice each week. 2-I make sure to stay hydrated. For me, that means making sure I get at least 1 gallon of water per day (my normal amount) plus maybe another quart. 3-I use a ton of salt on my food. Usually a mix of Pink Himalayan Salt and some Celtic Sea salt. Each have different trace minerals. 4-I take my vitamins and minerals. For me, that's a B-Complex, C, D, Zinc and Magnesium. 5-I eat more meat. Seriously. Some days you just need more calories than others. I've really learned to listen to my body over the years.

I actually already have my trapping education certificate... took that 2-day class a few years ago. I even have a bunch of equipment already (snares, etc.). I just need to find the time to actually do it. So much to do, so little time to do it.

Congrats!!!

With the incoming weather, the guys are starting today.

Today, House File 2609, which bans certain firearm triggers, will be voted on by all members of the Senate.View the full article

TTT please read

I seem to have gotten rid of my grass issue in my clover but ended up with Yellow Rocket this year

@Buck154 Are you using bucktails and gulp?

No lime this year. Our pH is at 6.93

Looks good Rock

Nice cat

rocky how long did it take you to clean all the crabs? I like crabs but the work vs reward had stopped me from going to past few years

Nice. Fun fish
