Yes things like that! I just didn’t know it would be so fresh on the mind Haha. My cousin worked at brushy mtn so I’ve heard some tales

I think you could have taken him! I would imagine you’ve wrestled worse........ The raccoon does have a distinct advantage up in a tree though hahah

For whatever reason I don’t do liquor drinks. Probably for the best! Haha

Mike carter used to run a lot of trips down there. I would guess the state park down near the dam or goose pond would be the most fishermen friendly places. They didn’t really take too kindly to out-of-towners at the local shops/restaurants when I was down there! Haha. There was a definite “you’re going to kill our lake” vibe

You will understand the McDonald’s scare in your 30s haha

Bottle jack indeed works

20 lb big game. I can barely bite through it

I think @A-Jay has used one of those and said they suck . I always just use the jack from my truck

I usually hook them with a 5/0 but have caught them with 3/0 in a pinch

A $20 lawn mower battery from wal mart will run electronics and weighs/costs much less than standard deep cycle

Reaction. If they had never seen a rat before they would still eat it

Haha! I’ve always worn them down to racing slicks very quickly

Wearing crocs on a wet boat launch is ice skating

Mooneye

I always throw a frog when fishing river smallies. Toads are the best! I never throw them on spinning gear though, gotta hammer down on the frog hook set

Buzzbait, popper, walking bait. Bomber long a or storm jointed thunderstick waked on the surface for honorable mention

They make bullet and Allison boats near my house. Crazy runs deep here!!!

That type II is a good one as well. Not necessarily comfy but will keep your head up

The clinch and pigeon (and little pigeon) are both really good, a couple of impoundments on the ocoee are excellent for spotted bass and yellow perch. Up there around Johnson city is some great fishing on the holston and watauga. Then there’s the Powell river, hiawassee, the Cumberland and all its tributaries......... Then on the plateau there a bunch of wild and scenic rivers loaded with fish in the middle of nowhere. Further south theres the sequatchie and Collins rivers, the possibilities are many

Wooden snap trap has been on the market for a long time for a reason, they are my favorite. Traps and poison do the same thing, you just have to worry about non targets with poison (although pets shouldn’t get into a boat and usually a cat won’t eat poison). Basically with almost all critter problems, getting rid as many critters as possible is the best solution, yet the last thing anyone ever tries. In summary, the best thing to combat mice is killing mice, which is best done with snap traps and/or poison. we would rather not even do mouse work but I swear you could make a killing doing exclusively mouse work, it’s a common issue that nobody really wants to deal with

I’m sure it works about 1 out of 100 times because everyone tries it, but I’ve been to countless jobs where they’ve tried them and failed. And that’s for all creatures, not just mice. My boss couldn’t even deter moths with moth balls when they started damaging furs

Ever-changing (dare I say, dynamic?)

I would agree about the Tennessee part of that post, the TN river is not ideal for kayaks and really can’t be waded anywhere. Its got several dozen or a hundred tributaries that are good for that kind of stuff though.

Ok I can kill anyone’s mice but it’s going to cost you more than five cents.......
