Sounds like a great opportunity for you to get that forum started again. 😉

Welcome to becoming active in the forum. Always lots of stuff being discussed and actually some fishing reports 😅. Can't wait to hear and see your reports and contributions.

I seared off a venison shoulder roast (also a MD contribution) in a Dutch oven. Braising liquid is a cup of reconstituted porcini mushrooms in beef stock, a cup of cabernet, onions, garlic cloves, splash of worchestershire sauce and a couple bay leaves. Into 350 oven for a couple of hours. More to come 😉

Deleted double post🙄

Looks great Marty!

Homemade cream of crab soup with toasted sourdough bread for lunch.

A young boy is sitting outside of a candy store and he has a big cheek full of the candies that he just bought. A man walking by noticed the boy and stopped and said "Son you might want to slow down on those candies. You know that candy isn't good for you." The boy responded " Sir my grandfather lived to be 92 years old." "Did he live that long by eating candy?" "No by minding his own business!" 🤣

Sounds like some great and memorable hunts Phil! Thanks for sharing with us. As you can see just the story brought out similar experiences that other members had while out in the woods.

@LittleRedFisherman that looks like a great time. Congrats to you both on catching some nice fish! Sea trout are delicious.

@Ham might be stocking them in Norfork. You know that he likes to catch those 'gou . I like to catch them too by the way . So does Livie!

Congrats on a nice chunky trout eater even if it is a stinkin' bass!

Ok so.. you caught me🤣

Here's what I have for ads @fishinwrench. I wonder who else might have an alternative lifestyle🤣🤣.

Looks delicious, but I should not have looked at this. Now I am hungry

Yes you are and be thankful is all that I can say.

MapQuest says that the north route is about the same time. However, it has been my experience that Rt 160 is where driving time goes to die . Any time that I drive that road it seems like the trip takes forever to get anywhere. Though two out of the three Texas brown (Missouri) tarantulas that I have seen in MO were on Rt 160 within 10 to 15 miles east from the Rt 65 interchange. The last one was on Rt 65 at night about 5 miles north of the Rt 160 interchange. Pretty freaky seeing one run across the road in your headlights.

Marty @TRRANGER may be referring to lifestyle and not weapon of choice.

Not sure what would pop up if I goggled flexistripper. Seen lots of striped bass fly guys using short trash cans for line holding when fishing from a boat.

Don't you know that those are the worse cuts . I remember a comedian once doing a bit about a hijacker armed with paper. "Watch out he's got paper!"

Well he lived … So NO

Where do these people come from? Does this guy work and is he allowed to be in the building with his little outfit? Seriously should just stop these folks from identifying as something different. I know that I am an insensitive bast$#d but this is really just stupid.

Besides the fluke I would always love to throw topwater in the summer. Lots of creek fish caught on the Excaliber spittin image. I was hoping to catch multiple species back in 2013 all with the same lure. I did catch largemouth (too dark for photo), smallmouth, redeye (now Chattahoochee redeye bass), and shoal bass that summer before I lost that lure .

I prefer the Fluke in baby bass for smallmouth and LMB. I felt that I got better hook sets than with the super fluke. On a good day in my prime I may wade 3 or 4 river miles. Used to fish with my wife and the oldest kids when they were little. Once they got bored with fishing and began throwing rocks or splashing around, I could always go upstream to the next hole and catch a few more . Did have to teach my youngest to fish the fluke. Passing on the family tradition. She doesn't remember the smallmouth. Had to reteach her and she caught this largemouth on the fluke in Kansas this summer.

Congrats you guys! You should always remember your first deer. So glad that you guys got it done together. I missed being with my daughter when she tagged her first last year. I hope to be there when she shoots her first buck. Can't wait to see a lot more deer photos from you two!

I can vouch for quite a few, unexpected human encounters I have had while wading as well .
