Jeezus, reminds me of the old saying; “There’s old pilots and there’s bold pilots, but there’s no such thing as old, bold pilots”. That guy’’s flying is mighty sporty....

So, are they culling?

 

[Barneybdb]

Helicopters are good for fishing too, we used to fit floats to our UH1H's and go to some interesting places......

 

[1J04]

They obviously know they're safe right here because this guy doesn't let 'anyone' shoot Elk on his property, and the Rifle Season isn't till November. Usually 3 Herds hanging around here which totals right around 120 head. Only way to get'm is coming in from behind the property and hope they scoot over the line. Most locals stay outta that area because they don't wanna put up with the BS or get shot.

Seen another good Herd just a bit after this, but to far out to get any decent video for ya.

 

[Threadcutter308]

Agree 100%. Farmed Salmon is 'shit'. Period. I wouldn't feed it to the Raccoons. You fish above the fork around Norman Rd or further down by Stanwood? Just curious. Is there a Salmon hatchery on the Stillaguamish? Or just Steelhead? That's gotta be a different fishery since there's not a helluva lot of water North or South of 532. Reminds me of an area around the Nisqually

Ya, epic failure on that pen deal. That doesn't have to happen, and personally, I just can't support not only the risk involved in introducing accidental Atlantic's to the region, but the continued risk and multiple releases to date. Hate it.

Enjoy the vacay and don't be bashful. Few pics would be cool. Now stop screwing around and get back here and get your hook in the water.

Hi J, Back from vacation, came down with a head cold, so I may not go stand in the Stilly this weekend. Here's a couple of pics from the trip. Both are from the Helbronner Cableway, from Italian side, headed back up to Aiguille du Midi (France). View is looking south, at Mont Blanc, highest mountain in Europe @ 4808 Meters. One of the most beautifully stunning views I have ever seen.
This is my first attempt at posting pics, may skin my knee before I get it right.

(Actually, if you could point me toward the instructional post about how to post pics, I'd appreciate it, Thx).

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Either a great sunset over Schloss Nitrocellulose.. or Kim Jong Un just nuked Burlington. Which would be a real bonus. Because that place is like the bar scene from Star Wars.

Cheers,

Sirhr

 

[bogeybrown]

Man that's beautiful. I had that sunset yesterday, I called it an "LSU sky" :


As normal, the depth of the colors don't come through, but it was a gorgeous purple and gold off the back patio

Just one beautiful pic right there man. I'm not certain why it's so small for certain but all ya gotta do is post it up on imgur, right click the pic and copy, then paste it into your post. Sounds like ya had a damn good time.

Sounds like we really got some Travelling Wilburys amongst us.

Welcome back and I hope ya get to feeling better so ya can hit'm before they're gone !!!!!

 

[1J04]

Again, some beautiful submissions here with all these great pics. Love it.

Excuse my absence of late gentlemen. You know you've missed me. Not a lot of spare time to dick around as of late. Happens. Cleared for full duty starting tomorrow, so that's a bonus. Back to the grind in uniform for a week, then off for 2 wks to kill Deer. The Smokepole Boys are out chasing the Elk again before Modern Deer starts up. The Bulls are still hot and a friend got a pic of his Bull on the Hillside alive before getting into Sabot range. Thought that was pretty cool. Plenty of hands onboard for the pack. Lucky bastard.

I'm literally forced to make a blanket statement.

What did Propane ever do to you?

Absolutely appalled at your recent behavior. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Side Note: I gotta get that tank on video when venting it..........

Pss: hope ya get a canker sore.

Here's another one....The north side of Mont Blanc. On larger views, you can see the conga line trail in the snow and some climbers going up. This was taken from Aiguille du Midi station, about 11,500 feet in elevation. Many climbers start out here, climb down to the glacier, cross in front of this pic, then make their way to the summit. With that much sun at that elevation, it's one hot mo-fo on the glacier. Sunblock 180 is in order.

There is no way in hell you'd catch me on ANY of that Mt. Not even for a full curl sheep. That's cray cray.

Thought I'd share a pic of our Judges through the years. And a Flag with a lot of history behind it, obviously.


The first ole Codger, Nathaniel Bloomfield (1889-1890), and a few others were known as pretty ruff boys.

Will have some pics for you guys in a few days, about to start a 3000 mile roadtrip, Adelaide - Canberra direct then home via the scenic coastal route. Got a major Air Force re union happening in Canberra this weekend starting at the Australian War Memorial on Friday, that is an impressive place, will post pics when I can.

That is a stud of a goat!!! 6.5? Distance, Bone length, and most importantly name and address of the cute one 3rd from the left. That one's got a naughty look in it's eye..

Being from NOLA, a city laid out on a perfect grid amazed me.

 

[bogeybrown]

When I'm not battling Splitzilla, I've been enjoying a lot of evenings out on the river fishing and crabbing. Daunted by the exorbitant price of crab traps, I set about building one. It went in the water last night, so I'm like a kid on xmas eve wondering if it's going to work. Either way, it's an excuse to be out on the water, especially now that temps have dropped a few degrees below oppressive.

That trap looks good. Did you tie with wire or use hog rings?

Very pretty shots right there Bogey !!!! Good job on the trap. It'll fish.



Spent most the day up in my favorite little Deer hole. Geezus I love good glass. Without it I'd of never seen the Deer I did. My buddy was using my truck binos (steiner 8x30's) and when I pointed one out to him at just over 400 he couldn't see it. It was failing light, looking west at the timber line of the reprod patch it was walking into. Even knowing exactly where it was it was a stretch for me with the 8x30's due to lack of clarity, magnification, and washout from the light. They knocked down some timber up on the ridge so this place is just gonna get better. The natural funnels/draws which still have timber are a no brainer for movement and cover now.

Got some nice pics of the sunset again on the way out. I can't stop taking them.

That Timberline behind my fat head is where the last one we seen try'd to sneak out. This place is 'filthy' with animals.

Need some more moisture for the Shrooms.

Not these Shrooms.

These ones......... NOM !!!

 

[bogeybrown]

Thanks tnichols , the proof will be in a few hours when I check it. On top of an unproven trap, I put it in an unproven spot, so a few variables to work out.

MtnCreek , unfortunately no hog rings. I hand cut, bent, and tied that whole thing, and to up the fun level the genius at Home Depot in building materials had never heard of baling wire, much less hog rings. After a minute or two of unintelligible gibberish he pointed me to rebar tie. It wasn't my first or second choice, but my blood pressure can only take so much Home Depot so I ended up doing it with the rebar tie.

If this design works I've already got a few ways in mind to simplify the fabrication process.

On a similar project, Splitzilla makes so many scraps that I can't get a wheelbarrow to and from the pile anymore, so I build a hopper to throw all the shards, splinters, irregulars into to keep the usable stuff off the ground so I can just shovel the sawdust, bark, punky bits, etc right off the pad and into my compost/worm pile and keep all that good little stuff handy for kindling. I had some old Re-Mesh and chainlink laying around, so I just threw this thing together. It's tough to see, but there's an opening at the bottom like one of those animal feeders so the oldest/driest pieces are always available at the bottom of the pile. Now I can just chuck all that useful kindling in one place instead of hunting up off the ground where it's perpetually wet:



I threw a little 1/4" hardware cloth on the bottom to keep it a bit more "solid" but still allow drainage and airflow. I'll just throw a half-sheet of plywood over it when it rains.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Bogey,
nice crab trap.
Looks must like the ones my grandpa used to make.
My sister has a pic of herself back when she was 14 or so on his little Sears Jon boat. She used to go crabbing with my grandpa every weekend.

I got to go a couple of times but she got choice first.

 

[packratt]

For the hogrings and/or baling wire check your local farm supply store, Tractor Supply, Southern States, etc.

I see a nicely stacked "stash" developing near the back of the pic

So looking forward to this buddy! Be safe, have a great time, and report back when ya can. Sounds like an awesome trip. Enjoy brother!

Covered 900 miles today and managed to not add to the number of dead kangaroos on the side of the road, did lower the snake population by a few though.

 

[powdahound76]

Good work Barney. while not scared of snakes, I see little use for the poisonous ones when we have plenty that aren't dangerous. Just got a revolver specifically to use .38 shotshells in to kill rattlers here next summer. Just had a guy die from a bite/envenomation while hiking near Denver last week. I only saw 2 this year, didn't get a chance to kill either one unfortunately.

[bogeybrown]

I see a nicely stacked "stash" developing near the back of the pic

That was the pile a few days ago, I'm still stacking at the moment, but I burn 20 pieces or so per night so it ebbs and refills. I build those racks to hold a half cord per "layer" so if all of those were a true 16" in length that'd be about 3/4 of a cord or so. I've easily burned a face cord in the last month, and had at least a face cord of splits that were too punky or infested with termites to throw on the pile.

Compared to your stash that isn't even a kindling pile.

 

[bogeybrown]

For the hogrings and/or baling wire check your local farm supply store, Tractor Supply, Southern States, etc.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have a Tractor Supply just up the road. I checked my trap last night and it's working, so I'll be building a few more. Doing all the wire tying was by far the most time consuming part but I didn't mind so much on an experiment. Now that I know it'll put crabs in the bucket im going to hunt up some hog rings or J clips if I can find a small enough size.

 

[MtnCreek]

Using those cider blocks like that is pretty sharp.
