Hey I would feel the same about you if God forbid you end up in that predicament Rick. I know you though so maybe twice as much 😉.

Oneshot you aren't a zero you are our Hero! You do know many of us are rooting for you in the predicament you are in.

It's simply a brain fart. Very common deal over my way.

Les posted after you and I talked today. It's all good boys

You are so welcome. Actually, we think you are still newlyweds 😁

Happy anniversary! @ness and Mrs. Ness!

Good fortune and trip report for you and Susie. Well done Jeff! Good things happen to good people.

Depending on your trip north if you are going up 189/191 along the hoback river towards Jackson hole there is a smaller creek called Cliff Creek. It dumps into the hoback. I know from our trips in the beginning of August it's not very big water wise but it's full of finespot/snake river cutts. Get this we both caught whitefish in this creek. You ought to try this one on the way by. Just some more FYI Devin.

AH yes Devin, Montana says that the native challenge is too much like a derby and don't want the state to go that way. Yes very specific stocked lakes for the native challenge. It sucks so can't help you there but can give you places for just catching the Yellowstone and then way north for the west slope. We crossed the decide on the forest service road to fish upper la barge for the Colorado River cutt. Pretty drive across the pass. Expect some crappy roads, lots of sheep and sheepherders with their camps. We blanked on la Barge but that was in 2010 just after they poisoned that creek to kill non-native fish then restocked it. I will be interested on how it's recovered and how you do there. We found another place cottonwood Creek north west of Pinedale. I will have Pat help me find my maps for better information. If you go for your Bonneville in salt Creek not far from there is salt river. It was a very fun place for the snake river fish. There is a forest camping in that area too. One improved and lots of open camping in other places. Like I said will help you anyway we can.

I have some places on all three states. Includes two streams in Montana just north of the park for your jumping into Montana. I assume you have your cut locations picked out for those states?

You run into some of the nicest people😁

Was fantastic!

Greetings to our OAF members from starlight and the James Taylor concert.

Have I ever told you all how much we love temperate bass?

Its no trouble at all doing it this way. Pressure cooking just takes place of your stewing or long braise.

Pat got a shot of Neulasta to boost her immunity system. At that time, it was 5000.00 a shot. She had six of those. Insurance paid it. Cheaper to do that than her end up in the hospital and insurance pay that.

This was to me getting a person to think about introduced species. Our European honeybee was introduced. You like them and I like them. Some species work while others don't. Would you JD give up your bee hobby?

Another view to Exotic invasive species, Researcher says not every exotic species needs to be controlled (phys.org)

Tonight, on the outdoor channel are repeat episodes of Wildfed. I like this show and DVR it to watch when I get a chance. I just watched snakehead and Shiso. It will be repeated throughout the evening into the wee hours of the morning. It along with this discussion is worth watching. WildFed - Outdoor Channel (Need to right click at least on my laptop to open the link or google up wildfed and search the listing) I know some introduced species have found a positive niche in nature. Many have actually but why take a chance? if they were meant to be here, they would have evolved here. As many invasives that have worked out there is on the other side of the coin really changed things to the worse. If I ever get the chance to catch one, I will kill it and eat it.

@oneshot1 18 years ago, my wife was being treated for breast cancer. One of the chemo drugs she had was put into her chest port was called doxorubicin nicknamed the red devil. When the girls in the chemo lab hooked her up to the port and pushed that drug they were wearing a face shield, a special gown and thick rubber gloves plus other PPE. We both about freaked out. I held her hand, kissed her and slept close. I did not care my soul mate was suffering. I suppose some others feel different about such things. I'm with @Mitch f she cares about you and may be misinformed or smarter than I and knows something I don't. she wouldn't have stayed with you this long feeling not caring. This is the same drug that caused her to lose her hair. That did not bother me either. Before any wise cracks from the cheap seats, I was shaving my head before this. 😁

Here too at times. Worst of all when Pat or someone else is talking and looking the other way.

Ha we appreciate that 😀. Dignitaries? More like hobos.

Well let the harvest begin. Up to seven. Two came from this morning. Taste like chicken? Nope tastes like squirrel. Both of these were big ballers old bucks. I took a third one out of the fridge that was taken three days ago. Gonna be tough. Time to get out the insta pot. Salted the pieces, a little broth in bottom of the pot. Squirrel on the little rack inside. 25 minutes at high. After pressure release this is what we had. I heated up the peanut oil and Pat did a dry breading, wet in the broth from the pot and then another roll in the breading. Then I gave it a swim in the hot oil VID_20240603_152030592.mp4 Sides of some kind of bagged salad with the dressing provided. Need to get more of that, Some Thai sweet chili sauce for dipping. Ooh this hit the spot today. Like I said life is good in the Billet hood. Wowsers.

We have been eating good in the Billet hood. Just haven't been posting. Will add a couple today to the thread. A couple of weeks ago we did a pork rib roast in the trager. Didn't take long juicy with a tiny blush of pink. Pulled at 140, tented it then a rest. Did a sauce while it was resting. Dried cranberries in bourbon and butter. Geeze it was very good, Then last week a pair of pies on the trager. Some of the pork from the roast, pineapple, cilantro, jalapeno some tomato sauce and lots of mozzarella. Store bought crust as we were in a hurry that day. Temperature set at 450. Watched until the cheese peaks started to toast. Checked the bottom it was doing the same. Perfect! Today's meal on the hunting forums, small furry creatures 😁.
