I've caught several and they never fight. Taney gives me the option to go beat to go beat on fresh stockers if I want or chase the older, wiser fish. Here's a few of the ones we caught during a few January and February trips. They came during Lilleys tournaments or while fun fishing just before them. This remark of trout parks being a joke again is something I am trying to get through to guys similar to what some say about the outlet and then after Phil's remark so much crawfishing and back crawling went on. I started at Bennett Springs and I started at the outlet on Taney But soon graduated to Natives in their native Habitat. Taney Fish are fun and you have them dialed in but again it is and introduced fish and unlike anything I have been lucky enough to target and catch. I have not fished Taney in along time but will again. It is what it is but to downplay what others like is becoming really bad on the forum lately. If I have done it on here on public I am sorry but this is crap IMO.

Right now It will be like hunting in a national park. Yes I like the meat too. I spent bucks myself for big and small game but do you and others do it for the challenge or experience? I did and had lots of times not coming back with game. Bow hunting only, no high powered rifles. You and others know for what we all spend to chase and take a chance of coming home with game we could purchase meat cheaper. So is it right to call us that do not want to participate cheap or making it a big deal for voicing our opinion? Do I think it is silly for guys to spend so much money in boats and chasing minnows in places all over the country to catch and release? Heck no do what you like and like what you do. Heck I do similar things and spend way much more. Some of my best trips have been unsuccessful. I guess I just don't understand why you'd waste your time griping about something than has zero impact on you then. If one can afford to go out west and hunt, then obviously that would be far more enjoyable. For many, this is likely the only possibility they have of being able to hunt an elk. I don't see where that's a bad thing at all. If it's not your cup of tea, then don't participate. I think the bear hunt is stupid. Are there really that many bears? Not allowing bait or dogs makes it a pointless hunt IMO. I'm not up on my sand box griping to anybody that will listen about it though either because in the end it has zero impact on me. It's not my cup of tea and I chose not to apply for that tag and saved everybody the earful. I'm only saying this hear as an example.

I see the bickering happen a little bit on here, but it's minor compared to the bigger social media platforms. If fish grew antlers, it would really be bad! People are really passionate about head gear when it comes to deer. Shoot something less than 4.5 years old and you'll have all sorts of people jumping down your throat! It's a crazy world!

Respond where I was called out. Personally once and generically where others said some of us were cheap for the donation for a chance to get a tag. Why Seth did you voice your opinion and call some of us gripers and we did probably for doing that on out of state licenses?

BilletHead Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 PS @Seth, I have no hard feelings at you. Your Post just hit at a bad time for me this morning as I am in a cranky mood. You just drew the short straw. Carry on!
