I prefer blue cat, with flathead a close second. But spoonbill rules them all in my opinion as cats go.Bass, yuckCatfish yummy
Just spent a few days camped at 10,700' amongst spruce growth that would normally be teeming with pine squirrels. Only saw one and it was a runt. Noticed this previously at higher elevations but have also seen good populations at those heights in other places. It's a puzzle.
Really? Y'all eat those? Interesting, never heard of anyone eating them, other than the roe. They are off-limits here, strictly verboten to fish for or possess in AL: LINK
When I was just a kid my granddad would buy smoked spoonbill in the little river towns along the Mississippi River.
You bet. Only ever caught 1 in my lifetime so far. No bones. Ma soaked the steaks in butter milk for several hours, then fried them. Best catfish I've ever eaten.
Those were special times and special places for us feral kids ey Fred?! A couple of those places would trade you smoked fish for any you cought for a couple bucks.
Yes sir. In all honesty, if I’m going to be scouting, I’d rather do it with Mr. C in my hand.
That’ll be a good thing. Shouldn’t take much, Tom.
Same here Ed. We are getting daily storms around noon. Took me 3 days to mow. Found some apples squirrels have been eating. And of course hitting the feeders.
I’m really hoping these storms subside some when season opens. These have been any time day or night. Sometimes several each day. Mostly smaller storms that move along fairly fast but not before leaving lots of rain and wind. However, we have been getting done big time storms as well.
Hopefully I can get the Swiss tuned in. I know my mouth is watering for a mess of fried squirrel, sliced fresh maters, and a pan of cornbread. Gimme that, and 2 fingers of bourbon, and a Marlboro red, I'll grin at the firing squad with no blindfold.
I haven't seen them, carrying them, off but I've the seen shells on my shooting bench and a couple stumps out back. The hickories ate good size and falling off pretty heavy with these afternoon and evening thunderstorms we've been getting.
He!!, yeah.
I think you will like Swiss. I prefer it, other than the additional cost. I find it to be cleaner burning and very accurate out of Mr. C.
Even the squirrels like Swiss better. Since I switched over to it, squirrels now line up and say “Pick me, ETipp, pick me”.
