I've been seeing a lot of talk about the EU having issues with vaccines produced in the EU being exported outside of EU. A lot of that seemed directed at UK and the issues around Brexit.

Nice! Cyprinella species are becoming some of my favorite minnows.

If its that big of a PIA. I'm thinking that you may not have it holstered correctly🤔🤣

Pete you're infatuated with those razor fish😅!

Posted these from a trip in VA I believe in the US south forum. Actually found it in the North&East forum.

Looks like inshore lizardfish.

Did this pork dish before. Brined with peach cider/chicken stock, salt, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and cardamon brine. Cooked in grill pan, then in oven, glazed with sweet chile glaze. Served with glazed parsnips. Maple syrup and brown sugar, powdered ginger and cayenne. Also took a spinach and arugula salad mix and wilted it with a little oil and minced garlic then Salt and pepper.

I knew first 😝

Congrats Phil. Mystery fish solved since that ain't no redfish! Must have been a great fight!

Best way to id is for Phil to catch one and post photo

Pudding looks great buddy though many may question if Dewar's White Label is really scotch

I didn't see a Torpedo in any of those photos

Sounds like a great and eventful morning. Those are more likely to be Crevalle jacks since they tend to harass the inshore fish. Nice speckled trout! Is that your first FL trout? Good luck on more fish!

Congrats Jeff! Nice fish!

Keeps the trailer from blowing up 😅

Sounds like a good day. You two do seem to get stuck a bit😅. Congrats on a great pickerel!

Congrats to Chiefs. Unlike the Packers, they can't fall into the fourth biggest blunder, Never give the ball to Tom Brady with 2 mins left when the game is on the line 😅!

Does Pete need to get one to bring or will you bring one of yours?!?🤣

@Lance34 persistence paid off. Congrats though you do look a little close to Bernie but he is wearing a mask🤣!

Pretty sure that you caught one in that same spot last time we fished it together.

Looks delicious Marty!

Great hunt Marty. All the hard work that you have put in over the years and your scouting paid off on this "easy" hunt. Congrats buddy!

Recovery efforts prompt MDC to remove peregrine falcons from state endangered species list Peregrine falcons were removed from the federal endangered species list in 1999. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Conservation Commission gave initial approval at its Jan. 22 open meeting to remove the peregrine falcon from the state’s endangered species list while keeping it a species of conservation concern. The vote came after a proposed status and regulation change from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC). Peregrine falcons were removed from the federal endangered species list in 1999. Peregrine falcon populations plummeted nationwide during the 1940s through the 1960s due to the widespread use of pesticides such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) in their food chain. The peregrine was placed on the federal endangered species list in 1970 and on the Missouri state-endangered species list in 1974. Peregrines were removed from the federal endangered species list in 1999 due to intensive restoration efforts. Peregrines have remained on the Missouri state-endangered species list since. According to MDC Urban Wildlife Biologist and Falcon Recovery Lead Joe DeBold, MDC’s Peregrine Falcon Recovery Working Group has been studying the world’s fastest bird and has determined that the state’s population and distribution of peregrine falcons warrant the delisting as a state endangered species. “Our Missouri peregrine falcon recovery goal of 12 breeding pairs in the state was exceeded in 2013 and now stands at 14 known active breeding pairs distributed across seven counties,” explained DeBold. “Peregrines will remain a species of conservation concern in the state. If the breeding population declines below seven breeding pairs, MDC will work with conservation partners to determine if expanded monitoring or protection is needed.” While human activities once harmed the birds through the widespread use of pesticides in their food chain, human efforts have also helped bring them back. “All of our 14 peregrine breeding pairs in Missouri use artificial nest boxes in our urban areas around Kansas City or St. Louis,” explained MDC State Ornithologist Sarah Kendrick. “They seem to prefer the nest boxes over natural nesting sites in the state on rocky cliffs and bluffs on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. This may be due to an abundance of food in the form of urban pigeons.” Kendrick added that two breeding peregrine pairs have been documented successfully nesting since 2012 along the rocky bluffs on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River north of the greater St. Louis area, so peregrines may start using natural nesting sites in Missouri. In addition to the bird’s removal from the state endangered species list, MDC is proposing a regulation change to the Wildlife Code of Missouri that would allow the limited capture of young migratory falcons for use in falconry. The allowance for falconers to capture a limited number of birds is based on authorization from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The proposed regulation change would allow a statewide total maximum of five permits annually for the capture of one young, wild, migrant falcon. Only those with a Master Falconer Permit may capture a falcon. “Only hatch-year or first-year birds from northern breeding populations that migrate through Missouri would be allowed to be captured. Adult falcons will not be allowed to be taken for falconry,” explained DeBold. “All peregrine falcons hatched in Missouri are banded with metal federal bird bands. If a peregrine captured in Missouri for falconry has any sort of state, federal, or other band from Missouri or elsewhere, the bird must be released immediately.” MDC invites public comment on the status and regulation changes for peregrine falcons March 2-31 online at mdc.mo.gov/about-regulations/wildlife-code-missouri/proposed-regulation-changes and by mail to: Regulations Committee Chairman, Department of Conservation, P.O. Box 180, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0180. MDC will then review all comments received and present a final proposal for a final vote by the Commission this summer. If approved, the regulation change will become effective Aug. 30.

Looks good @rps. I strongly prefer the cream based chowders to the tomato based ones. But it's got shrimp (aka seafood) and that to me is a second to bacon in making it a great meal

Simple classic - chicken parm with spaghetti.
