90% of it is asking about which gun and calls to get.

:lol: :lol: :lol: We all know you can't kill ducks or geese without a Benelli or a $150 call

Did you know you can also pass shoot ducks 200 yards out with a benelli? :wink:

And thats without hevi shot. :fingerhead: :lol3:

We need to make a DHC hunt.

 

[WisconsinWaterfowler]

Back to work I go today. I just wanna live down in the ozarks forever. Become a logger. And make moonshine. There are plenty of ducks down there to keep me happy.

You do that. But we also need to go gator hunting with tasers. That would be epic.

I want to go gator hunting with just a piece of rope and a knife.

Let's do it. BUT I still want to whip out a taze gun and give that lizard a couple jolts.

It must be the autism coursing through your veins.

Tetanus shots cause autism now? Or just a jab at me in general, which if so, fair enough.

Do you have autism? If you do it's ok. I don't judge your personal choices.

 

[WisconsinWaterfowler]

If you two were talking in a room, I'll give you one guess who I'm going to be paying attention to.

haha fair enough.

I would listen to you Jensen. :lol3: By the way, still getting those emails from Facebook?

 

[WisconsinWaterfowler]

facebook bff's again?

Yup

Alright, I am sure I am going to get flamed for this, but while reading my field and stream I stumbled across this in the total outdoorsman article. Now I may be out of touch, but seriously this was 30 years ago in 1980, not during the great depression.

Is this for real?

Can't speak to Boatwright's story, but it brought back the memory of squirrels shot for my grandmother in the early '70s. I was in college and visiting with my grandmother, who'd lived by herself on a West Virginia hill farm since my grandfather's passing some years earlier, when she allowed that she sure would enjoy a squirrel dinner. At that time I'd not picked up a gun in the year or two since coming back from the service and didn't know that I ever would, despite the great passion hunting had been in my boyhood. So I hemmed and hawed, but dug grandpa's .22 from the closet and some shells from the cupboard, and went out "around the hill" to a stand of hickories populated by fat fox squirrels that never knew a hunter and shot a mess. Was nice to have been in the woods again and nicer, yet, to be come home with a hefty fistful of tails.

Grandma must have been watching from the kitchen window, because she ran out into the yard to greet me all aglow. And then her smile faded when she looked at my haul, and it came to me in a shameful rush that I'd head shot them, a sinful waste of brains and cheeks. Grandma, being Grandma, said, "No matter.", but I was mortified, peeled those, and went back out to shoot another mess as I'd been taught: through the ribs missing back and shoulders, wasting precious little of consequence.

Don't know if there's a statute of limitations on WVa game laws, but I'll admit I shot two limits that day, so Grandma had plenty of squirrel put up to last her awhile. Still, before I left for campus, she wondered aloud if it wouldn't be best if I came back and made another pass or two around the hill to thin the population some for its own good, or something of that kind. Which I did, time and again that winter, and every one as long as I lived in that part of the country. Even after she'd gone on to meet Grandpa. In fact, I never missed another season of hunting after that.

Won't say how long it took to dawn on me that wise old gal may have wanted to see me back in the woods with a gun, doing the thing she knew I'd loved, much worse than she wanted squirrel dinner.

You really lost that much interest in hunting after getting back from the service?

very dumb question WW :no: war really changes a man, especially if he had to do things that haunt him.

Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I missed the part where he said he got back from war. Don't recall reading that anywhere even after the second time.

 

[WisconsinWaterfowler]

I realized this quickly after I posted. And when I tried to fix it, I exited out and BAM! Eight new posts telling me how dumb I am. :lol3: I apologize for my ignorance, Rick. Thank you so much for your service. :beer:

Well I think I just set the record for the quickest thread lock. It was open for a solid minute tops.

:hi: let it go people. we all know who it was.

Actually MO and I were fighting about who it was on the FB DHC Chat. For the record, I won. :biggrin:

I'll let you win this time.

So quick to give up.You're better than that bro. :fingerpt:

Came across this yesterday. I thought I'd share.

Awesome!!!

Marijuana is a gateway drug.

A gateway to happiness and world peace.

Its weird for me to think about, but when I started in on this thread, it was only at like 150 pages or something like that.

I think I started on like page 3 and didnt get back on until like 950. :lol3:

 

[WisconsinWaterfowler]

I'm not gonna go back and look- was that the female Rick Jamesbitch?

I wouldn't discriminate.

Light tackle makes for sore fishing arms the next day.

I hear that. One of those big 4 year old kings hit a 300' copper and made the drag scream as she ripped off another 150'. Dragging in a 20~lb fish and 650-700' of line is a chore.

this is a question for bill herian as well as you Dan, you think the copper rigs are worth it? Jr and I have been back and forth on whether or not to sink the dough on a couple

You both continue to confuse and intrigue me with all your crazy yankee fishing terms. Peanut butter, cowbells, copper rigs.... :huh: I've seen just about everything the south has to offer but still want to see what all your talking about just for the hell of knowing.

Great lakes fishing terms haha.
