I quoted you because you said reintroduced. They were never reintroduced. They were hunted out pretty hard and I am sure pushed back from their native range. Just like the whitetail deer, Bison, wolf, bear and other fauna. They were native to Western Missouri way back when. You are a smart guy. Do a little reading, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Coyote_expansion_past_10,000_years.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Coyote_expansion_by_decade.jpg

We will need to get an exercise program going. Some can be pretty high up.

Dutch it has been going on for several years up my way. Predators because fur is worth nothing because it isn't in style anymore. From opossums up to the top of the predator scale get them. Plus the spring flooding loosing hatches. The 80s into the early 90s it was great. Can you show me where the coyote was reintroduced or did someone tell you that?

I want two, One to tan and keep, the other for fly tying and both to eat

When do you want to go?

There are more tree squirrel species in North America then we all realize and a slam for taking those species. Here is a neat podcast, https://honest-food.net/hunt-gather-talk-podcast-squirrels/

A friend and member here before he passed RVconrad got a fly stuck into himself at Roaring River. He turned white and said we have to go to the hospital and get it cut out. You would have to know Ralph to know how he looked at things. Well I said just calm down and said 'I know a trick to get it out painless. Got a section of heavy leader and put it around the hook bend. Told him to push down on the eye slowly and it would come out. He was concentrating on that part when I gave it a quick tug without any warning. Out it came. He looked at me and I thought oh crap he is going to pound me. His eyes got big and he said that was amazing. Did not hurt at all😁. He thought I was a miracle worker like the thorn out of the lions paw. Neither Pat nor I told him that was the first time I had done it. 🤣 Ralph if you are reading this please forgive me ! Miss you buddy.

YES! I like it man .

Who is the savage with the spear Mitch? Is that you? 😲

You just had to ask and I had to respond, Sold 97 tails to Mepps. From last season all with an air rifle. Up graded to this one and now am over 50 for this season, Added two more this morning from a sit down behind the shooting sticks. 39 and 29 yards.

I bet so and I have met him.

Well they did not get dirty paws from being a boat mechanic.

Three of the four were cutting walnuts Friday morning. Can you yell which ones?

I think I still have an ugly fly stash Gavin

My dad had polio. When he had a pond dug I built him a dock before the pond filled. He used that dock to feed his fish. He wore braces on his legs and could walk out there. As time went on he lost more balance. So he started driving his four wheeler out there. I was horrified. He would go out there and gun his engine. Those fish knew it was feeding time and here they came. So fun. He passed 20 years ago. I miss him so much. Same pond where" Micah caught the Leviathan "

It isn't going to get any better the older you get either. Now I have a picture of you, your wife with the kids on Vespa's riding over the countries in the Mediterranean shopping for the right bottle of vintage olive oil. 🤪

I did finally although it took me reading your post a couple times before the light over my head went on.

And the confusion continues @ness. What was your salad dressing of choice with that meal? Did it contain Olive oil? Picture of label on dressing bottle please? .

Me too, perhaps he is using 10/40 Mobil oil on his salad he uses in his Vespa Lambretta as he is touring in France?

Hey Man good job, those will fish and catch. Like @Flysmallie said a diver/slider. When you start catching on your own creations you will be stepping into another satisfying level of fly fishing.

You know this is all supposed to be funny right? Yo can un wad your panties now.

THE TRUTH

Good grief man that has been many, many moons ago. I assure you I am much better now. Throw that thick thing away!

Neat Randy, Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I find flathead quite handsome. That is if you like the looks of a drill Sargent.

Found my friend, We have a nice collection of found points. We used to hunt them all the time. Still do if fishing or walking in the right spot. The ones I make and the ones we have found never, ever get mixed. I don't believe in passing off modern points as old ones even though they are all real just made hundreds of thousands of years apart. I do trade to other knappers to have their points and have some from the best makers out there. Would not and will not buy any point that is labeled as old. I have seen too much in my travels to trust anyone. I have however been given points from friends that have found and given them to me.
