I think my favorite of his is “loving you is like frying bacon naked”

It depends on the laws. I’m not allowed to relocate skunks and I’m “encouraged” not to relocate raccoons. Possum squirrels and groundhogs we just take far away from where they were causing trouble and let them go. Sometimes you have to use lethal traps just to catch the critter like otters and beavers . We could legally release anything until 2005 when we were placed into the “rabies surveillance zone”

Less hang ups

I’m familiar with him, I believe he’s Johnny Knoxville’s uncle. Doesn’t he sing “if you’re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough?”

just caught this, what can you make with it?? Not soup ........ maybe drop shot it with a nose hook?

We’ve got snow blowing sideways and 21 degrees , windchills a tad lower than what we are used to but not bad. Snow isn’t accumulating And diamond rio on the juke box

If you pour sweet tea over it, they swim up and start licking the cubes

Got one this morning @Paul Roberts, should have another across town. I got a picture for you but it’s the wrong end of the skunk! Haha @roadwarrior, here’s the skunk hats and a coyote hat. I’ll ask my boss who makes them, we just send the fur

Holy crap!!!

Yeah I think we sat down and watched that whole thing and barely moved

Plum ruirnt

If your pipes are in a crawl space you should be ok. I’ve only had one bust in my life and it was running through an uninsulated garage wall to a hose bib in a condo I rented for a spell. We get some temps in the teens every year and I can crawl under my floor and it’s warm from the heat of the earth

I dry heaved a little while reading that, but I’ve been there in the “hurry”. We flipped a canoe once and a treble stuck in my toe, lure still tied to a rod that’s somewhere in the river. Had to rip it out while bouncing down the rapids (foot still underwater ). I bet if more than one hook had me, I would have been in a bad spot

Thats awesome

Are you launching anywhere on the upper end? People are catching big smallies up that way but then again they always do, just few and far between for keepers . Also there’s lots of spots up there to maybe fill a limit then go for monsters

I like the looks of that top hook

Weatherman may have been right! How’s the brown water supply? We can do a BR air drop if need be

We have some of each ! I have pictures somewhere haha

One of my fishing mentors, Capt Kenny, always claimed to be a smallmouth junkie. Hopelessly addicted. When he put it that way, I knew exactly how he felt. Sounds like you’re bit by the smallmouth bug and will be stuck chasing the proverbial dragon for the rest of your days. There are meetings for people like us, let me know if you want to join. Hello my name is Russell and I’m a smallmouthaholic

How you making out @roadwarrior? It’s pouring rain here with wind blowing it in sheets

Not that I can think of. Maybe when I first tried one with too thick of line or something. They will hold still on 10 lb mono

Hahah! The water is actually faily clear up here in Knoxville so green pumpkin may be ok. But that is subject to change between now and Saturday!

It’s funny because suppression of fires is the problem here, many bird species rely on a high frequency of disturbance and those are the only wildlife lacking in our area because humans have suppressed fire over the years. Every bit of open land is fescue and useless for anything but cows and normal backyard birds . you probably already know this but your bird feeder is most likely what’s feeding your mice. A bird feeder is the number one source of business for me

Give em hell mike!!!
