I cannot blame them.

I owned a portable welding service for over 10 yrs, building pipe fence kept my family fed, I figured my average footage per year was around 20,000 ft, so I have a little experience with property lines and the like. I recall building fence near carthage a long a water way, the client wanted the fence to cross the ditch and butt into the buttress of the bridge. The county commissioner happened to drive by, he informed me that I was not allowed to cross the right-of-way with any private fencing. There were people driving from the road along the creek and making a mess, this was an attempt to keep people out. That being said I see many people (nearly everyone) fencing all the way to a bridge, but technically the right-of-way is government property. As far as legal access I have no idea, but I know you can not cross private land to gain access to the water. Too much open ended nomenclature in the law about this.

Thank you. I may call on you for advice someday. If you see an Altec man basket and mounting hardware laying around, please let me know. I may have found one but not sure yet.

It should be handy for loafing sheds, pole barns and tree trimming.

Not really, I bought this rig and drove it 600 miles home. I'm not selling the truck but if someone needs some help with something that you think this could do let me know. It has a 42 ft reach, max lift capacity of 29k#, 18" auger, 20k# wench on the front and 4x4. If I advertise as a "crane" things get super expensive so I can't do that. I hope you are getting my drift. I am also looking for a man basket and mounting hardware, which will add to it's usefulness. If I run it bouncing of the governor springs it gets about 7 mpg. It lives in Carthage Mo. so keep that in mind.

Beautiful pictures !

You don't need as many of those to make a meal.

Not only that you should see how many bass get netted from the streams and river around Carthage. There are folks from Southern countries netting bass with reckless abandon and keeping everything. The local authorities know about it, but cannot stop them. It's crazy over here !

I was not there when it happened, but I suppose limits were imposed based on the impact fishing/hunting had on the population of what game you are going for. At some point there were no regs' on anything, and I would assume populations got decimated. (I have a talent for stating the obvious) I bet we are better at reacting to improved harvest methods than we were 100yrs ago. Example: In my area you can hunt varmints with thermal imaging, and a rifle after dark. My neighbor has a 22-250 with a can and thermal (really nice set up) he put serval coyotes and bobcats to sleep last year after dark. He probably has 8K in that set up. I remember a day not too long ago when there was none of that allowed. I wonder how long it will be before there are no bobcats or coyotes? Then the varmint regs' will tighten Anywho, I feel like we are doing the same with sport fishing but I reckon we are reacting fairly quickly. I think hunting deer with armed drones is probably next, probably at night from the comfort of the truck or living room, probably just paint balls or something, "shoot and release" kinda thing, it will be too much work to drag it out of the woods and process it. Sorry for getting off the path. We used to catch fish because we like to eat them, we are way away from that now. Don't taste that good anyway😜

That's a drone

I bet the 3-S happens more than you think, there has got to be a breeding population of loins in Mo. if they can hold up anywhere iron co. should be a good habitat.

I back packed that area when I was young in the fall for 3 consecutive years, if they can live anywhere in Missouri and seldom be seen it's in that area.

I use a double uni because it's easy, the FG looks tough to tie. I have learned to not over tighten the uni. I'll try the FG again see what happens

My uncle lives in Alabama, I guess they are already there.
