“If you build it, they will come” -otter field of dreams

Oh yeah I also forgot, it’s terrifying to ride in a boat at 70 mph, especially when you’re not the one driving. And freezing

Buying golden shiners in Florida is a combat sport

we’ve had a couple 50+ and one 60+ degree day here lately, quite nice We need less of any moisture all the time. We are in a “drought” while some areas are still rebuilding from devastating floods. We all hope that never happens again but unfortunately it will, I wish we could take our constant floods and pipe it to somewhere out west

Next person that says shenanigans……..

While having 13 licenses from other states haha. What a rebel…..

330 conibear is the ticket, I’m guessing I posted that already somewhere on here. There is a season for fur trapping but if you tell the game warden they are killing your fish, he will probably green light year round permission to trap . It’s not like a mouse or raccoon where you put food in a trap and it will just walk right in. You’ve got to get the trap set underwater and somehow funnel the otter into it , placement is key. I would try that wet conveyance if possible, if not some sort of culvert/inflow/outflow would be best. They make stands for conibears that you can set in the water and slide the trap onto trapping otters is hard work with lots of coming up empty handed but not impossible, it not something I tried often in my former career but I’ve went with the real veterans many times, guys that wear overalls everyday and chew twist

I thought the same thing!!! Haha

Why would I? No sense in throwing away money

But NASA is in Huntsville near the TN river, Tom could have been the first bassmaster classic rocket scientist!!! 😂

You’re just renting it from the rodent generations

My new boss would put my head on a pike! She told me otter is her spirit animal when we were discussing an issue at a wetland. She goes “please tell me you never trapped otters….. wait….. nvm…… don’t tell me anything”

Now bob……… “can’t never could” their fur was currency 300 yrs ago, are we moving backwards as a people ? (Don’t answer that 😆)

Ha! I wasn’t that far off just spitballing

Alabama, TN, Arkansas , Texas, Minnesota, and Japan 😆

Awesome! Glad you got it back !

Bitsy flip

Now that’s a darn fine trade!!! It may be illegal unless the deer is de-boned tho (CWD era mandates?)

Luckily my in-laws do all this and just give us the finished product. I did buy my buddy a meat grinder that always give me venison

tow truck drivers this summer in Michigan

You say that’s insane, I say that’s Patrick walters

Can’t wait for the first event, I also enjoyed that open on Clark’s hill. Had no idea it was full of big LM

You should watch FFS in person some time , it’s way harder than just fishing. Looked like Chinese arithmetic to me, no way I could ever figure out where to cast give me a kayak and some nightcrawlers haha
