When handgrabbing in artificial fish houses(barrels, tubs, boxes, etc.), if you make sure that there is no air in the piece, then snakes and turtles will drown if they do manage to get in. I don't reach in logs or things like that because there is a chance of air pockets and some critter making it h...

Hey pewee,
I'm living up there and put some stuff out the other day. Checked it five days later and already had several fish. Get it out, they will come. I'll be on the lake Friday or Saturday.

Went this past weekend (Fri. and Sat.) and caught about 80 fish. Mostly 5-8 pound blue cats. Did catch one 26 pound flathead. The biggun's are gettin ready.

All of the above advice is very good stuff to put in your pack and smoke. Something that has helped me in the past is cutting. Give him a 8-10 second series of excited cutts. This can make him come running or send him the other way but in my eyes, if he's 80 yards out there and not budging, he's not...

I heard... Just talked to pintail on the phone. He said you busted one on the refuge. I might come to ya'lls place in a week or so and chase a bird or two.

go ahead and talk trash pintail. Haven't heard of you killing anything.

My prayers are with her

I busted one Saturday evening with 10 1/2" beard and 1 1/8" spurs (20 1/2 pounds)in warren county. A good three year old bird. Called up another bigger one sunday morn. that my buddy crippled at 28 steps. Found out yesterday that his barrel was pitted from shooting steel through it.

killed a banded woody in vicksburg in 1998 that was banded 45 days earlier in Sparta, Ontario. Pretty long trip for that booger.

hey duckkilla You damn sure won't see me in float row on Saturday... Haven't been there all year. Gotta guide two rookies at my lease Sat. morning. It's gonna be a guided wood duck hunt i guess, unless some birds show up fast. I do have birds now though on another of my leases. Lots of greys and wid...

Alright... Enough of this bull. I know Delta Dawg can't do nothin but fight the Mahannah crowd and kill two woodies and a merganser, if he's lucky. As for Duckilla... Once your sorry booty got married, you can't keep in touch. I haven't talked to you in over a year so quit running yalls big mouths.

North of Vicksburg
2 Hunters
12 ducks
3 Woodies, 1 grey, and 8 damn buffleheads

Saw about five big ducks total

Good cool morning, but no birds to speak of... Somethings gotta give sometime soon.
