I know these aren't fish

I know this isn't fishing related but We have more of these wild ditch parrots than bass.

It was a pretty slow day then we stopped by the old pheasant factory. A 300 acre plot of CRP. We had a girld from my gym along on her first ever hunt of anykind. She just couldn't figure out how my dogs could find those funny looking birds.

Mmmmm....mouth-watering is right! My family loves dark meat and traditionally we have served duck for Thanksgiving in lieu of the more standard turkey fare. However, once we decided to try a nice smoked ringneck, there was no turning back.. New family tradition. After less than 30 minutes, that hickory smell fills the house like the inside of a smokehouse. Mmmmm.... Only two weeks to wait!

 

[Rob LaMoy]

We only have released birds here Fatrap, and the limit is 2 per person. So by the time you're warmed up, you've limited out. Still, looks like a great day. Gotta love the CRP fields.

 

[Bill McElroy]

Not sure Jeff,...my brother just told me it's 3.5hrs from his house and he lives in "Mohnton" by Valley Forge,...so it could be your BIL's place!! I'll find out the name of the place!!

[Dan J.]

Man, that was a good hunt!! Now that's how you introduce a newbie! Great job!!

 

[Mikel Stephens]

[JAMES MOORE]

I'm jealous, I've been out three times this year looking for pheasants and haven't seen a one yet.

As far as I know Natalie isn't married but does have a boyfriend she fishes with. He Dad is buying her a ladies youth model shotgun for Christmas.

Had a great day on quail a week ago and believe it or not woodcock. We used to get some but haven't seen any in years. So far I've seen a dozen or so. Even shot one but the dogs wouldn't retrieve it.

I'd go and visit Rob for grouse next year but I'd probably have to sleep in his outhouse.

Mac, "Mohnton" is in the Reading area. That's where I work (Reading area, not Mohnton)! Small world...

 

[Bruce Freeman]

Mac: You going to check out the new Cabelas store in Hamburg when you are there.. Less than an hour from Mohnton I think.

[Staci Matheis]

.....dang.....even your birds are bigger than my fish.....

 

[Bill McElroy]

My mistake Terry,...he lives in Mohnton and works in "King of Prussia"...for Locheed.



Bruce,...we may make a road trip to that store on saturday,..depends if we need to get out of his house for awhile,...there's going to be a LOT of people there but it's a HUUGE house too,..so we may just have to go "get milk" or something!!!..,ahahahhahah....

 

[Jeff Farrar]

Mac,



Okay, let me know. If it's his place I'd like to give him a warning. I'll be up there myself that weekend. First, day of deer here is the following Monday.

 

[Bill McElroy]

LOL....no problem...

 

[Bob G.]

Mac,



I'll be in PA the day after Thanksgiving and plan on being at the new Cabelas on Saturday. Look for me if you're there. I've been to the Cabela's stores in Sidney and Kearney and they are an awesome place to shop! There is always some good deals in the Bargain Cave too!

[Rich D]

Jeff,



What is the name of the place? I keep kicking around the idea of trying one of those places.



Rich D

 

[fatrap]

Tox



you want me to save you some hatband material or you wanna shoot your own?



fatrap

 

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

I wanna shoot em', eat em', and flat tan the pelts for some projects that my wife does. She actually can incorporate them into wreaths and things that are super neat.

[Jeff Farrar]

Hey Rich,



Here is a link to his web site. www.warriorsmark.com He hosts the state championship. It's a blast. Big difference when you see well trained dogs work'em. He also has great sporting clays course as well as a 5 stand if you don't like to walk. Of course, I just link to fish on the ponds. Fish are big, just a little skinny.



Jeff

 

[Rich D]

Thanks Jeff!

 

[Mikel Stephens]

Hey TOXIC, Does you wife sell those Frankenstein-type Christmas Wreaths? I may be interested in hanging some dead parrot skin on my door this holiday season.

 

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

She hasn't but I'll ask her and maybe post a pic here of what they look like. They are neat!! Better to have a dead ditch parrot than a dead pine or holly tree branch!!LOL!!
