Don't know how too rotate the pic, but me and my son off Caladesi island with a nice snook.

You all know I was able to buy the 10 acre parcel next to my camp. So know I border another camp consisting of 66 acres. I have never met the owner and in fact they didn't show up for the last two seasons. You can go online and pretty much find out anything about your neighbor in the tax map section for your county. I did this and got his address and sent along a friendly letter introducing myself. That was a week ago and I received a phone call from him today. He really appreciated the letter and was looking forward to meeting me in a couple of weeks. We were on the phone for 15-20 minutes and I felt like I knew the guy. Always like to extend my hand first and see what happens……it will pay off in the long run.

funny looking bunny !

Fresh frog legs. Cooked over the fire, in cast iron. Doesn't really get much better.

I have a pair of red foxes that come and eat the left over bird seed that falls from the feeder. I hear them barking at all hours of the day and night. The other day our cat and one of them were fighting on our rock wall. They both took off in opposite directions. I guess it was a draw.

i thoght all the deer were killed off by winter kill, coyotes, too many doe tags.... hmmmm Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Ok I will play ...

If they would only learn to cross the road at the Deer Crossing signs !

one thing I know for sure, lead bullets are definitely deadly to deer.....

Getting low on a couple of my favorite soft baits. My wife just asked if I would like to go to the Bass Pro Shops in Utica. Well heck yeah says I!! Leaving in just a bit. She does not hunt or fish but is my biggest supporter of all my outdoor adventures. I'm a lucky man! Since we'll be out that way, I'll stop at Turning Stone to let her play the Willie Wonka machine for a bit! A win-win day for us both!

Like the video. I would end it a little different like Paula said. Showing some of the amazing things you find at the end and how you pull yourself out of a bad day by going back to nature is a great thing, show more of it and have a positive message at the end will always help inspire your audience. Your Father and Grandfather where very wise and smart men versed in nature, glad to see them pass along there love for the outdoors! Showing some of what they taught you and how you enjoy the woods is a awesome thing, keep up the good work! Love your videos!

All you haters start hating. Going gourmet tonight. Read em and weep

Well I swapped cars at the Buffalo airport and went to Cabela's , only to remember I left my uniform in the trunk of the car I dropped off! I got plenty, but this one had a Microtec switchblade and a Strider fixed blade and a flashlight I use a lot in the pants . Store was nice ( I'm not a shopper by and standard ). Spent about half and hour , bought 600 rounds of 9mm. They had a nice price on Sig Sauer hollow points. Oh a decent knife counter , Benchmade, Spydreco and some Knives of Alaska , KOA are very nice hunting blades if anyone is in the market . It was a quick trip, I just got off nights and worked 38 hours in a row. 2 fires and a ton of other calls so I was a bit tired. One of the fires was a grow operation 150 pot plants up,in smoke..... Best smoke I took in , in sometime !!!!

I have done a lot of management for grouse the past 10 years and this year the added benifits seem to be an abundance of woodcock! The grouse numbers are up this year as are sighting while putting in food plots and some timber management. I have never seen resident woodcock here in 20 plus years I have owned the land. A few in fall for a day or two as they migrated south ,but I have 4 that I see almost every day I am out ( and they are different birds for sure)they don't chase me on the tractor like the grouse,but scamper and flit ahead for about a hundred yards then stand to the side as I drive by.. I don't really knkw much about them other than they eat worms.. but there must be a reason they decided to stay this year. Perhaps the forest floor thay was sold pine has broken down enough for worms to thrive.. I've looked for habitat info and foods but have not found to much ,but I welcome these funny birds!

TC and several others are posting their nice mounts from the 2015 season. If you can't beat 'em...

It faught good, took a live pin fish. Tomorrow out on a party boat for grouper and snapper.

I was thinking bikini's and a grill. But those pics are cool too.

BBQ pork chops on the grill. Steamed corn and chips.

Man that's a nice setup..............if'n a guy didn't want to dick around, THERE is a package.

I do like it, sorry I didn't state that

Salmon with fresh coriander. Smoked ribs and pork tenderloin. Gonna put on some venison sausage stuffed with apples in a bit.

Thank you for taking the time to watch and for the solid feedback.Your response let me know that at least the overall message is showing through. I will consider all the things you mentioned in the future. Facebook: Zach Byrd Adventure Hour

You might be putting out informative studies, but the conclusions that you are drawing from them are what I question. Again, if shooting deer with lead bullets is such a health risk, why hasn't anyone conducted a comprehensive and comparative study demonstrating the difference in lead blood levels between two sample populations: those who do eat lead-shot venison; and those who don't? The only study that even comes close to covering that topic was the 2008 ND study, which showed that people eating lead-shot venison still had lower lead levels than the US population as a whole. I'm agnostic on this topic as a whole; if scientific review demonstrates that there is a measurable health risk from eating lead-shot game, I'll stop using lead. But I do question the methodology and tone assumed by some here. If the science is settled on this matter, please show me the studies which settle it. I'm not interested in listening to someone preach from their pulpit. Edit: Also, I'd be interested in seeing someone chime in on the performance characteristics of lead and copper bullets. As I understand it, there are some inherent pro's/con's associated with each type.

I stopped at Cabellas in Mitchell SD, ( I though it was in Sioux Falls Sd) on my way to Sturgis in 2005. It was the biggest hunting & fishing store I had ever seen! The Cheektavegas store is nothing compared to the others. The only good thing is if you need something right now they probably have it.

I may sound like an ass but really I don't care for most contests. Too much emphasis on size and or score.. brings out the worse in people and what they do to win.. I like the youth contest as size doesn't matter it's the story and enthusiasm the kid puts into the story.. I really wouldn't have a problem if they banned them,but that is my own opinion I'm sure there are competitive people out there that just live for them.. to each his own.

A Glastron deff is a lower end Boat....Chaparral is a nice boat company. Compare hours on the motors....and age of boat and motor. Also ask the current owner for a test ride....they shouldnt refuse or they are hiding something...also ask them to be present for a cold start....don't let them have the boat in the running...just a few tips I can pass along. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Never owned either one but both have been around for a heck of a long time. A good friend had a 21' Chaparral that was a great boat. It even sunk in about 12' of water in Lake Erie, they had it running before the summer was done. Kids................ I'll bet Larry_302 can add to this query.

I don't care how strongly oppose people feel against a party or the agenda they believe in, their should be no room on this site for name calling. " United We Stand, Divided We Fall." Winston Churchill.

Seems like you can cut the part off when you are rowing and bad day at work. The wad is unappealing

Brother-in-law owns a Martins route, boy he cleans up. They are great rolls!

Don't expect many here to read the entire article, but for those who choose to, it explains a lot of the disagreements going on here lately in many threads. Pretty darn accurate IMO. I thought it was rather post worthy to open a few minds to new possibilities of working together around here. http://www.visiomundi.net/openjournals/index.php/wildliferesearch/article/view/8/html_8

Rob - Your original post was about a 25-06 . It will do the job . Good choice . Git 'r done !

I recommended the 260 as an upward move to the 243 for a recoil sensitive (possibly) lady. But to your question............ 6.5mm bullets are nothing to sneeze at.......I'd take a s/a 260 over a l/a 25-06 all day. Lots of information out there to compare the 260 and 25-06 if you want to dig. The 260 has better BC and you can get heavier bullets if you want. Just one little link to peruse...... http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/25-06-vs-260-deer-82124/ Bullets available for the 6.5mm..............(twice as many as the 25 caliber and much heavier selection) https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/category/categoryId/916 Bullets available for the 25 caliber............. https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/category/categoryId/915? In the end, it won't really matter at all for most of us here on THIS forum. It's all just for a good time!

Just saw this an hour ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk How much would it cost someones mom to buy that sandwich for them????? And how much time would it take to get it from Mc-D's to a persons basement, before it got cold?????

I would never buy a .260 rem if I did not reload... Performance wise, it is neck and neck with the 7mm08.....

Sorry to throw a curve in the great beers you all are drinking but could not pass up on the price.Bush 16 FL.OZ. at 1996 a case out the door.Not top shelf but are very cold and taste good after a long warm week.

Excellent report, thanks for posting!

You didn't mention the waterfowl lead ban, but someone else here did. Maybe some hunters don't know about lead ammo issues, but most non-hunters know even less. Posting what you did on YouTube will be used as more fodder for the anti-gun, as well as anti-hunting crowd. You're helping their cause. You are not advocating any regulation, but you are priming the pump for it, and I suspect you know that. You want the information out there in the general public so people will get involved and do your regulatory demands for you. I'm not angry at all. Just looking to expose the end game you are obviously looking to accomplish. Have you given any consideration to what a lead ammo ban, on the national level, might do to all ammo production, producers, costs, employees of ammo makers, military defense supplies, gun control, anti-hunting gains or anything outside of the ammo affecting raptors? I'm concerned about the unintended consequences of someone's single minded zeal. How about just posting your info where hunters will see it and keeping it out of the realm of people who hate all firearms and hunting? How about pushing hunters using lead ammo to bury the gut pile? Better yet, only shoot deer in the neck or head if using lead ammo? I have a real aversion to anything, anyone wants to add to the "Ban" wagon in this country. So far, every ban I've seen has created as many issues as it has solved. It just puts the burden of the issues on someone else. Sorry if this sounds angry. It's grave concern you're reading, not vitriol.

The branches add up pretty fast , I have a pile 30' long by 10' wide x 10' high and I just got started and that was while there were just buds on the branches. Got side tracked and have to get back at it soon.

These countries simply haven't had enough socialism. More socialism is clearly the answer.

Phade, I like the high and tight rack on that buck. Very nice mount by the taxidermist. I'm with ya TF, hoping to get a true wall hanger one of these seasons. Nice Euro Larry, good n wide!!! Edited to add my euro that I've posted on here before, why not!

2,015 bow. Killed the day following helping another member recover his buck..... I guess that deed was rewarded . 10 yard shot 100 yard easy walk to find it . Ok a Euro mount ,hope that counts.

It doesn't guarantee a season, it only gives the DEC the power to decide if ever they want a season.
