You should see the war face on our Dachsund/Min Pin cross. Small but mighty. In HER mind. The other dogs make her go away.

I don't think there are enough gangsta's out there with pits to give them the lead they enjoy. I'm going with neglect and no training for a breed that doesn't do well with neglect and no training,

We've got eggs running out our ears. So I decided to do smoked pickled Easter eggs for the upcoming family affair. My poor thumbnails are a mess, even after boiling them with vinegar and salt. 30 eggs to peel is a lot. Beech pellets in a tube smoker. Perfect day today for cold smoking. Three large jalapeno's sliced, a red onion, and a load of garlic. Just add eggs. They should be ready by Easter, no problem.

In general that's true. BUT there are breeds that have statistics going against them.

That's exactly why the Jack Russells are down to two old retirees here and there won't be any more. When they're young, they live to fight. Oneshot had stitches from his one. Back when I had working Russells the most we ever had - not counting puppies for sale - was thirteen. I had three fatal dog fights between them and more close calls. No more, thanks.

One of our easy favorites. There'll also be roasted carrots, steamed cauliflower and maybe a baked potato - sweet or russet, who knows.

As long as we're talking about memorably dangerous dogs - My main quail hunting buddy when we were growing up had a Collie - looked just like Lassie. She tolerated NOBODY unless one of her family was out and talked to her before anyone opened a truck door. I learned that lesson the hard way. Another one was some kind of dingo cattle dog cross - named Hog Dog for the obvious reason. She was fine as long as you didn't want to get in her truck. Another buddy had a Rottweiler. She ate her young. And then got moved on when the first child arrived and she didn't much like him either. Notice a trend here? Most of the dangerous dogs I've come across were females. And two of my female Jack Russells were pretty tough too. One of them actually learned how to get a snout bite and subdue coons and groundhogs. The other one just didn't care, took hold and stayed that way until dug to.

Lemme see: California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa. Still shooting to catch one in Missouri.😵 So 23. Wait. How can I forget Kansas. 24

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff. Think about it. That fish that got off had to be near 5, at least.

My seven year old grandson still thinks potty humor is good stuff too.

Good luck and pay no attention whatsoever to the post above this one.

You'll love it.

Nice trip. White was the thing for the boys trip that I posted earlier. Actually a white 3/16 zig jig, with red wrap. What seemed odd was the fish were all puking and crapping crawdad parts.

All of it with care.

No joke!!!! There are pictures of a big time frost they lived through.

They made it to Horse Creek today, about a half day early, thanks to good flow on the river. I've heard the fishing was pretty good. These are the nicer ones. They had something like 20 each both full days. So proud of these two and their love for this world we have to live in.

I'm not close enough and even if I was I don't have a stick big enough to learn you.

Always with the politics. Lets not ruin this thread please.

Works for the occasional problem - but there are just too many of them for that to be a solution.

For the life of me I cannot understand why a nuisance invasive species like black buzzards have the MDC protecting them. To the point it's a thing for Farm Bureau to help their members get permits to control them. And if I understand correctly, depradation permits are only given to cattle operations. Might as well start protecting Mimosa and Bradford Pear. vulture-flier.pdf (mofb.org) I understand the fact that Missouri's wildlife code is prescriptive - i.e. if the animal and method aren't listed in the code, it's not legal - but for real - these things are a problem. Ask a native turkey buzzard if you can still find one. The codes need to open season on them for everyone, everywhere by any method,. Come on MDC and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, get into the real world what say?

These are the two grandsons that did 100 miles in the Black Hills last summer. And now it's time for spring break. They're headed out for a few days on the river, it's a privilege to shuttle them. River is in great shape after just the right amount of rain. Check out the older brother's choice of footwear! The canoe was the older brother's HS graduation present. I knew it was a much better choice than another piece of disposable electronic gear and by golly I was right. See you on Tuesday!

He's no rookie! Nice gear with the right sized net. Wonder if there's a gaff somewhere on that boat? Like his tackle too. He's got a lot more stuff than little old me. I'm a 50 pound braid guy to swivel or three way. Then 20 pound mono to circle hook(s), weight etc. As often as not, I'll set up with a 3 way, probably two foot dropper for weight. On the hook side of the three way, two feet to first hook and then another two to the bottom hook. Quality 3 way, swivels and circle hooks are a given.

That secret is out. And it's no lie either. There has to be a pretty good release for it to get right.

When there is a decent rise on the rivers, they're on the move. Cut shad or a gob of worms. Anchor and fish the bottom downstream of the boat. No bites in ten minutes = move. The Osage is what I fished most.
