    Tasty mixed bag

    I heard that the crappie were really being slaughtered at a local lake so a friend and I decided to get in on the action. Saturday we loaded up the boat, bought minnows and headed for the water. Of course we didn't catch a damned thing. Around noon we packed up and headed to a smaller...

    RIP Mr. Lightfoot

    If he had a stronger right cross John Belushi might still be with us.

    Here's a bit of interesting trivia. This woman was the muse for his song "Sundown". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathy_Smith#:~:text=Smith%20became%20an%20employee%20and,hit%20and%20most%20lucrative%20song.

    Flooding

    The real cause is that the government decided that no place along the river was allowed to flood. Levies get higher and thicker and the water has no place to go but up. There aren't large flood plains along the upper Mississippi anymore. I slung a lot of sand bags back in 93. If I remember...

    As would productivity. Drug busts would go way down though.

    Who regularly hunts deer with a shotgun?

    I've used shotguns (shooting slugs) for many years. Frankly, I wouldn't even bother reading the chapters on shotgun hunting from a book that was published in 1986. Slug guns today are a completely different creature from the ones made in the early 1980's. And that isn't taking into...

    dougdelite: rifled slugs in a rifled barrel?

    Rifled slugs will fowl the barrel pretty badly. All kinds of sabots available out there. Here is just the list of slugs by Federal available on ammoseek. https://ammoseek.com/ammo/12-gauge/Federal-shotgun?ss=slug

    Spring Weather

    Stay safe. I usually don't get worked up about weather but I think this will be a day for the record books. 2 tornados in my area, both missed us.

    Have you seen the prices of new aluminum boats these days?

    You must be joking? There are certainly times when I wouldn't take a flat bottom out on choppy water but then there's water conditions I wouldn't take a larger V bottom onto either. I've run flat bottoms on the Mississippi and other large midwest rivers without issue, and on large lakes. You...

    I HAVE HAD ENOUGH

    Tons of robins and house finches here in southern Iowa. Ground squirrels came out of hibernation during the last warm spell. We bitch but this really wasn't a bad winter for much of the midwest.

    Have you seen the prices of new aluminum boats these days?

    There were plenty of 16' Jon boats for sale over the winter for $1200-2000, with trailer and sometimes an old motor. Maybe it's just this part of the country but I doubt it. If you have to have new you're going to pay for it.

    Talk me into Coyote hunting

    Between that and the hunting contests (AKA amateur hour), they've become increasingly hard to kill over the past decade or so.

    Anybody else shoot or hunt with a Model 39 lever action Marlin .22?

    My dad's first gun was a 39A. What a wonderful rifle. I had it for years until my brother decided he had to have it. I believe it was made in the late 1940's.

    Optimum magnification range on scope for elk rifle?

    Mine wears a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x. I can't think of a single big game hunt where a top end of 4 or 5x wouldn't have worked just fine for me.

    Deadheads - Let's see 'em

    I know. I never understood why other hunters shit all over you because you are hunting in legal manner that they don't approve of.
