two boats head on at 45=impact of 90, at 70+70 that impact is 140 - How fast do y'all reckon a bass boat has to travel in order to "launch"?

I think the guy that pushed so hard for the elk is retired/gone now but they will keep costing us for a long time more. Truth is reintroducing any wildlife is a forever project, they only need to be reintroduced because the habitat needed has become corn fields and lawns, so until we cut back the population to 1820 levels the critters that roamed then are not going to have enough suitable habitat without clashing with humans more or less constantly. Think how many $$millions deer have cost in car wrecks alone and deer are pretty good at adapting to human pressure. The otter have been a huge success, the few they started with now have populated most of the state and parts of the neighboring states. So they trash a few boats every day, only the boat people care about that.

So, does MDC pay for the damages caused by elk? It was in a field, might have torn down a fence to get there, destroyed crops; there were reasons the old time farmers extirpated them animals.

I had to look up "buffalo gnat" but I am quite familiar with black flies, they make all other biting insects look like amateurs. I'd bet a pump sprayer and some permethrin would clear them mites right out, mix it like you would for a chicken house.

I think they (Neosho) are the only SMB that I've ever caught, it's the "regular'' ones I don't know about.

about 9 1/2"?

Don't reckon I've ever had the mites on me, but I don't believe any crawling insect can walk or breathe in a full coating of baby oil. I know it keeps seed ticks and chiggers at bay, from many summer days spent cutting fire wood or picking wild berries.

Biggest fish (=biggest man) contest is my take away. Maybe it's just my perspective but everything TU seems blown way out of proportion, like the challenge of long ear on a long rod. Although taking catfish other than bullhead on fly or drum or carp hasn't happened to me yet, I haven't really targeted them. I've taken 6-7 species in an hour many times and have no idea of how many species total as often I'm not sure of or just don't know what they are. Like right now, I can't recall what makes a smallmouth into a Neosho smallmouth; I'll have to look that up again.

The guy is a retired MD and has been a fly fishing guru for forty years, teaches it at some university, very rare he makes a mistake and he was all over a hero that "caught his first trout on fly" with release; said the muscles all relax causing the pupil to center or something (iirc he gave the Latin for the cause) but every picture I've looked at it seems to hold true. I know from my days as fur trapper that eyes change completely at death, it's how you can be sure a critter don't "wake up" half way home. takes about ten seconds.

Something I read on the 'net but you can flip thro your live and dead trout pics too. See what you think. Henry said all fish eyes point down when they are still alive.

those are still alive though, pupil is looking down not centered

carp or koi the goldfish doesn't supposed to get over 18" and is also deeper up and down. It does have a dead eye as Dave said.

How do these "baits" normally hook up when they do work? where is the treble, in mouth, gill cover, face? do the fish bite these lures or get hooked by smashing into them? I'm trying to picture how much set might be necessary or too much, by design trebles look like they prevent really good hook ups inside the mouth?

billion each to all those reprogrammed Flight 77 passengers accounts for a lot of that

that would explain how George had time to rehearse and perfect his speech

fair enough, I didn't find anything in the user settings that would let me alter display colors/contrast, so it is what it is

Is there a way I can increase the contrast? every thing is washed out on my machine like reading through a fog.

Adult 'gills right there. I've only seen them that size back east, but I don't fish lakes.

If we accept that, then look at the numbers the risk looks very small, what? If only 1% were high risk and the numbers were the same as now the risk would appear much higher? that they would keep people from spitting on their hands ... if the social distance is great enough the germ carrying mucus will fall to earth through the force of gravity, maybe?

wonderful thing, that revolutionary war set us free

A few things, one is better treatment and other is the really vulnerable are past it, there may also be more truth in the reporting. We will never know what really happened here this year.

Some of us are more apt to die of flu than others are too. ~61,000 2017-18 season. Compulsory schools have always been a hot bed for disease, seed warts and head lice. In my youth it was polio and TB that scared us.

That seems typical of jails, early on the big pens were all hotspots of positive tests. Those fashion masks just keep us from sucking our thumbs and spitting, not from breathing in germs.

harankawas -karankawa something like that in south Texas were the most famous in The USA territories but Aztecs and Caribs ate their defeated enemies.
