I don't get "catch and release" and all. I must be stoopit or something.

Actually it sounds cruel to me.

When I caught that lovely bass I wanted to take it home and cook and eat it. It was big enough and all for the "law" (thank yew very much I was impressed too--ya right).

That's what we did when we were kids when my Da brought home bass and pickerel (bony-assed fish but tasty).

My bro made me put it back.

Now I love God's creatures and never want to hurt a soul but that guy was made for LUNCH in my book.

I love the beasties too Kares, but they taste soooooooooooooo much like dinner it's hard to not eat them.

I have read atlas shrugged, twice. Once in my senior year at high school, once last summer.

You are joking right? Pickerel don't have any bones if you remove the row of Y bones, they are like pike that way.

Step dad John went out at 4am, he was back at 6am with these 2 birds.

We will be eating them on Mothers Day up at the lake with Marn's folks.

And we will be splitting a pig with them shortly.

exit wrote:I use hunt and fish,can you call falconry hunting?.I don't have the time anymore for falconry after 22yrs of hunting with them.The best bird for hunting was my red-tailed hawk which took everything,hares,rabbits,ducks,pheasants and the odd snake.Fishing i still do but mainly lake fishing in competitions, only got a 1st once though.We don't fish to eat though the fish are weighed and return to the lake.

If it hunts, it belongs.

I have a red-tailed hawk here that TAKES stuff too, like CHICKENS.

I had to totally enclose my birds after a red-tailed hawk mutilated one
of my hens.

It didn't even take it. It just tore the neck meat off the chicken and
left the carcass. If it weren't for federal wildlife protections (and the
hawk's status with Native Americans), I'd be having some hawk chips
and hawk dip.

Recently I also saw a Cooper's (or "Blue Darter") Hawk watching the
wild bird feeder too.

That's life in the country though. Nobody said it was easy.
