  1. Past hour
  2. One minute I am turkey hunting with a good caller and the next minute I am on a reptile safari with Steve Irwin!
  3. You would need one those radioactive suits with a respirator
  4. It was a fun but by day-4 of dawn to dusk sitting in a 14’ Jon - I was worn down it became a grind. Probably our best totals ever for the Bi-state at 117 / 44 / 53 / 32 for total 266, but also the most frustrating in that it was the best conditions but no two days were the same and what was there today was gone tomorrow. The first day spoiled us as we literally dropped anchor in a pinch point and never pulled anchor until we were done. That was the only day that spot was worth sitting on near Shawnee. Ended up splitting time between there and N of Bushkill. The most frustrating was Sunday - getting only 1 in morning where we just had 117 on Thursday! Moved a mile north and only two more. Pulled boat and trailered up North and first three hours moving around - nothing! Then just set up in my all time best anchor spot and said I will die on this hill I am done moving. First 30 minutes / dead. I decided to start changing things up in that gin clear water and high hot sun and put a 1/64 micro dart out behind a very light 1/16 ounce sinker and put it way behind the body and bam instant hookup. Had my buddy and son start doing the same and finally had all six rods set that way and all catching rapidly. Between 1 and 3:30 caught most of the 32 for the day and the front and clouds rolled in and it shut off - instantly. Picked at a few more and quit at 6:30 with last 3 hours sucking but should have been prime time. Equally frustrating is how many cookie-cutter 3.5# shad there are. We got several over 4# up to 4.74 lbs which was so close to any of the top 10 it's rediculous. The winning fish get smaller every season. A few highlights were twice landing two shad at once on double dart rig. and the best tasting freshwater fish I ever had - 19” walleye I have to say it is better then fluke. First one I kept in a very long time - the last ones were bigger lake fish but no where as good as this river fish.
  5. Thanks I was really happy with my performance I failed z wall my hand slipped on the last section it wasnt the normal holds they had 3 inch thick ropes and no foot holds for it! It was a pretty crappy penalty loop too straight up and back down the mountain.Ughh it was jammed up all over I was just passing people the whole time but spear throw was the worst jam up and the multi rig everyone wanted to use the higher up steps to start. A frame cargo was a long line I said screw it and just found a space between people climbing up. And a line for z wall. Other than that the hardest part is getting past people on narrow trails. All the practice for the hanging obstacles has really paid off I breezed through all of them skipping rungs on the monkey bars and rings. I have a wild idea to run by you mostly wild for me haha. I was thinking about running the sprint with you at blue and letting our kids run the kids race together. I'm still going to do the super the day before and I know how exhausted I was after doing it last year 🤣 so coming back the next day and doing the sprint might do me in haha. Maybe we can talk Mr @not on the rug to do it as well and maybe his daughter would want to do the kids race also.🤔
  6. Today
  7. Killer time dude! At 45 my goal is 2 hours for the sprint, haha. Any issues with the course getting jammed up at any particular obstacle?
  8. I think the time has come to join one. Who do you guys use?
  9. Tomorrow might be stoeger 3000 with 3inch heavy weight 5s
  10. Decided to switch it up today. Browning b80 20 guage shooting 3inch tss 7s
  11. Nice Snake and love that shotgun
  12. Well @rocky and I hunted again. We were as close to getting a bird as you can get without killing one. We had nothing of roost so decided to cover some ground. We found birds on a non huntable side of a road and decided to try n pull them acrossed. We got set up and right away they fired off. But they started to drift away. Told rocky they have a hen. Said I'm going to get aggressive abd try to piss her off. Couple quick cutts had her her start yelping i kept cutting her off and she was getting verry angry. Finally rocky says here she comes. Shes yelping and curring looking for the hen that was rude. She came into 15 yrds toms gobbling theyre heads off. She proceeded past us on the look. Perfect she's still yelping loud and the boys are quickly approaching she's still making a racket. Than 3 tandom dump trucks come down the road and the boys went quiet. Gave it a few minutes let out some clicks and the hen gets rowdy again and the toms start our way again. But as luck would have it she went back acrossed the road. Hot her fired up again but she flew off and the toms drifted away again.. found a few more but they went quiet fast.. tomorrow is another day.. did find this guy on the way to truck

  17. Because gun control has little or nothing to do with solving problems (other than the “problem” of Americans owning guns), marketing is crucial to its success. View the full article
  18. A great hunt! Sounds like a lot of fun.
  19. Everybody hates the blues until they are gone! I love catching bass but a change up is nice and their fight and ferocity cannot be beat. They could chew up my tackle all they want!
