Toothy critters too. The most teeth of any mammal.

Maybe next year. The knee deal and all that.

Shawnee with 9.9 on the back and trolling motor on the front but it wasn't in the water. Wife and a big white dog were with me.

If I was going to shoot one with a rifle, it would be a .22 LR or .22 WMR. Might still spray but maybe not. They really don't move very fast and are no harder to kill than a cat but remember there is a lot of fur on them.

I was in the long jon boat. We probably passed one another at least once. Or maybe you got in just ahead of me.

Boney SOB's are hard to clean, that is for certain. But, once you learn the trick, there's a tender loin on them that is pretty fine.

I did Hootentown to Kerr first weekend in May. A lot of flat shallow water between McCall bridge and Kerr. Zip for good camping spots. Gets a lot better below Kerr.

You're welcome. Lews and Pflueger both make 1000 size reels at various price points. Never had either one bind yet. I'm not a $200 reel guy or a $35 reel guy. Typically spend about $100 + - on a rod and about the same on a reel. You will find a lot of really good choices in that price range. Above, I can't say. Below, Berkley lighnin' rods are way good for the money if you ask me.

Keep trying with the cat food. I've caught several that way. Closer to den the better.

Nice fish. I went from Kerr about halfway to Galena. SM were biting but OMG the people, there had to be 300+ canoes, rafts, tubes, kayaks, jon boats what have you. You name it, it was there. We were camping about 2.5 miles above Galena and saw multgroups of way drunk floaters at 8:30 who were going to be paddling in the dark without a light. I was worried for them.

Flat head belly meat and cheeks. Go ahead and tell me what's better. Fish only gets so good and IMHO flathead stands up to any of the sunfish and the good stuff from the salt as well.

Shimano reels are fine as long as you don't them wet. Then they tend to get a little hitch in their get along. I've bought my last one and will be sticking with Lew's speed spins or Pflueger's from here on out.

Lower James has a lot of fish. Lot of people too so early or late is the deal if on a weekend. Shhhh. Don't tell anybody I told you.

There are a lot of long pools between Roubidoux Creek and Boiling Springs. You will get your arm exercise for certain.

Good luck, and don't worry, the tarp trick has always worked for me.

My favorite is the one I'm on at the time. They all have their pluses and minuses. One of the biggest pluses is how hard the place is to get to, distance between accesses and number of outfitters around. The harder it is to get to, the further between accesses and the fewer the outfitters the better.

Just lay it over it.

If he's living under the porch, near there. I've never been sprayed when the tarp is over the trap and skunk is in the dark and can't see you. But like the investment guys all say, past performance doesn't guarantee future results. P.S. Do let us know how this turns out. You may become eligible for membership in the Brotherhood of the Skunk.

I've got a 4 WD extra cab with the Hemi and get 22 hwy. between here and Nevada and back. 17 overall. Best truck I have ever owned but it's still new (7K ,miles), want to see how it holds up. I've been chevy man up until now. Test drive and price did it for me on the Ram.

So. Is questionable data better or worse than no data? I think that largely depends on how many data sources you have, the more sources the less likely error trends would vary far from the expected scatter and the far less likely bias is to be introduced.

Run the numbers to see how many miles it takes to pay out. Hint: It's a lot.

I am a skunk expert. Founder of the Brotherhood of the Skunk, an exclusive group of fellow terriermen who know from first hand experience. To deal with your skunk: Live trap with a can of cat food for bait. Tarp over the live trap to pick it up and transport. Trap and skunk into river. If the skunk can hold his breath for ten minutes, release him to swim in the river. Otherwise on the bank for buzzards, crows or worms. About the odor. There are three things I guarantee to work, nothing else will. It's July. What will work to remove skunk odor from the dog are August, September and October. P.S. Open the can of cat food. Skunks are illiterate and cannot read the label on the can of cat food. Even if they could I doubt they would be able to open it.

Weigh, photo, release. Super complicated, I can see why nothing like that would ever work for a tournament.

I thought you said you were using a tube. Still, stronger and multi hook set is worth a try.

The watersheds have more to do with water quality in Truman and LOZ vs Beaver, Table Rock and Bull Shoals, though you are right to be concerned about poor treatment from inadequate septic systems.
