I know it's late winter and a lot of places are not much fun to spend an outdoor adventure in right now. Here in the deep south, USA, the temperture has been fairly mild with alot of rain, we are still hoping for a brake, to beable to get out in the great outdoors. Oh yea, and use our knives.lol
Thanks Steve for the info, we are a large group and very powerfull, if we stand together.
I learned today that a father and his two sons, went on a hike yesterday in Arkansaw , bad wheather hit and they all died from exposure. Please, if you plan any outdoor activity, this time of year, plan for the worst. A bag with essentials may have sayed their lives. Food, water, fire starters, a poncho, a few things brought along for emergecies can really make the difference. I don't know all of the facts on this case but just wanted to remind everyone, how bad things can get out there.
Paul, thanks for checking on me, it's been rough but I'm hanging in there. This coming week I hope to get some lines set out for catfish. The recent heavy rains have flooded the bayous and swamps, which should get the catfish running. If I have any luck I'll report back to ya'll. Hey congrat's on the buck and turkey, Paul.
No fishing but I would love to get out and set some trot lines again when it warms up...it's been years. Harvested a small buck and a turkey a couple of weeks ago. The turkey was excellent with a recipe I used out of a wild game recipe book I got for Christmas. I hope you are doing ok Robert.
I was wondering if anyone has been fishing, lately? Last year I did really well on the catfish, this time of year. This year, however because of the lack of heavy rains, the catfishing has been poor. We have just got a 36 hour flooding rain that I am sure will help. The wheather controls so much of the hunting and fishing, some areas are too cold, some are too muddy and some the rise and fall of a body of water, keeps the fish from biting very well. If any of ya'll, dispite the winter time wheather, has been trying to catch some fish, please let us know. We would all love to hear about your adventure, good or bad.
I hope the wheather is good enough for everyone to get out and enjoy the outdoors in some kind of way. Those of ya'll that get a chance to get out, please post some pictures, for those of us that have cabin fever.
