Reminds me, you have to take the local conservation officer (warden in the US), out in the boat with you, light the dynamite, and when he says you can't catch fish that way hand him the lit dynamite, and watch as he throws it in the lake :-)
BTW, I am shooting both camera and rifle! |
Any chance you will be using the compound bow? |

Must be fly-fishing... I'm in! |
Sorry, shooting! |
Shoot! ';-)
With camera or rifle? Is it not trout season yet? |
It's always trout season. However, the authorities get upset if you shoot them with a rifle. Can't imagine why. :-p |
Get out of here! ';-D What other game fishes are in them streams? Any freshwater eels? Rudd? (No no... not the ex-PM from that small island on them West) |
Eels, yep. Probably other stuff too. I'm more motorsport than fishing, so sometimes find cars in the streams. They can be worth a few $$. :-) |

In the Lucky Country, bunnies are pests and cause millions of dollars in environmental damages and causing ecological havoc. In Europe, bunnies and hare is good tucker. Funny how food animals evolved to becoming a lap toy in many societies.
I love a good bunny stew with a hearty red wine stock. Anyway, since I'm already a bad boy of SS, I'm going to get some rye bread and polish it off.
Jeff, I do miss shoot with my 65ib Browning. Never killed anything with it, just love shooting the bow for the sake of shooting the bow |

I have taken several different species of animal with my bows, and like the fact that I don't have to dig out shrapnel. |

I always tell the neighborhood children to come over on Easter. I'm serving rabbit stew and they're welcome to eat some. The expressions I often get are priceless. Farewell to the Easter bunny ! |

Eldred, what does your epression "hare is good tucker" mean. I ask because my maiden name is Tucker and I hadn't heard it used as such.
Reluctantly I admit that bunny stew is tasty. My sister-in-law occasionally raises the cutest bunnies for eating, which just kills my heart when petting them, knowing their eventual demise. But the meat it yummy....(she says with mixed feelings). |

Tucker is Aussie slang for food. The term Tuck shop was used in the UK for a snack food shop, but is not used that frequently anymore.
