  1. Congrats what an exciting time. Babies you change their diaper and they change your life. Its awesome
  2. Every time I see people recommending cavitron buzz baits I cringe. I've purchased two neither ran true and couldn't be tuned to run true. The lead head on both were loose out of the box. I emailed mega-strike no response. I've tried to contact Bobby here but either his box is full or he doesn't receive pm's. Its the main reason I quit using the attractant, gotta stand behind your product.
  3. I want to try JJ's, done the mega-strike, its like petroleum jelly, I know you aren't supposed to use any petroleum based products. I even mixed up some garlic and Vaseline once just to see what would happen, not much. I use spike it regularly and believe it helps, I will be ordering some JJ's next week.
  4. No fair no links, peer reviews, I've come to expect more from you. Lol in my defense there are just times that I must prove that I can be the biggest and most arrogant butt, I thought I might lose that title on this one. Maybe I'll start one on out of place artifacts that's always fun.
  5. Horror Dead alive Bad taste Low budget horror Puppetmaster Phantasm Evil dead Under rated Near dark Tales from crypt movies Night of the demons 1 & 2 These were from my son. Danny deckchair Romantic comedy (my recommendation).
  6. What is your demographic? Young 18-25 young adult 35-26 etc. reason I ask is my uncle is a huge movie buff he is 74 my son is 25 and a horror movie buff, it would just help in recommendations.
  7. get some 3 or 4 inch curly tail grubs, riverside makes them in smoke, you should be able to find them locally, an 1/8 ounce jig head and go fishing. you will catch a bunch of smallies, there is no better bait for sheer numbers. As you begin to get your confindence you will change to tubes, craws etc because you will catch better fish on these, but for sheer numbers you can't beat the grub.
  8. I figured he was a college student. Deleted my post, and apologize When I was in high school I quit playing sports because I had a pack of beagles and chased rabbits, I went rabbit hunting almost everyday from November to March, sports interfered with my fun time. I did work, but kept that in check too. Between your homework load work, school, sports and social life every hour is accounted for I'm sure. Do yourself a favor drop something, go fishing with your Dad, spend time with your girl, kick back and be young. When you are married with kids you will know what overwhelming responsibilities, busy and exhausted are. Really consider taking some time for u now. Good luck On a side note: I hate too see young people stressed like this, comes from being to busy. My first wife had my daughter on something every night of the week,.it wasn't good for her.
  9. Since u tore it out to the studs you should have an idea how bad the rot is spreading if any. If not spreading and you are reasonably sure there will be no water intrusion to the house, I would just leave it till spring. If you are worried about water intrusion I would cover the windows with plexiglass, provides protection without boarding up the house. Imo bondo and glue are just not worth the money and time.
  10. Lol the only reason to watch Sunday night football, a sight better looking than Hank on Mondays
  11. Ok enough of that silliness here some links to different videos, 1. the unknown primate dna, the Dr's name is Kurt Nelson from the University of Minnesota, the evidence comes from the Snelgrove Lake area in Ontario Canada, the footage that deals with this specifically comes in around a minute 30 seconds http://www.history.c...g-for-sasquatch 2. The Snookum Cast which is interesting, this supposedly shows the body inprint of a Sasquatch, looks like a mess to me, but the biolgists have some interesting things to say about unknown primates, and why this inprint did not come from an elk or other animals in the area. http://www.history.c...testing-bigfoot 3. Of course what bigfoot discussion would be complete without the Patterson Footage. This is not the link I wanted to provide where they discuss the muscular definition and the soft tissue injury evident on the beast in the film. But it is a short discussion of the film and it is the full footage not the shortened one people have seen, oh and btw they examine the original 16mm film not a copy of it http://www.history.c...igfoot-evidence 4.This is one of the National Geographic documentaries it is very long and I didn't review it, it does feature Dr. Jeff Meldrum an anthropologist from the Idaho State University and a recognized expert in the evolution of bipedalism, and other professionals and I'm sure a couple of quacks thrown in too. I'm not sure if this is the one with the forensic scientist talking about the dermal ridges or not, this video mentions 15 different dna sequences that can not be attributed to any known animal yet show primate sequencing, but it is not considered conclusive proof because there is no body of a bigfoot to compare it to. They also answer the questions concerning bones and fossils, why there are none. Did you know there are no chimpanzee bones or fossils? Just providing the link. http://channel.natio...behind-bigfoot/ I managed to find an article from Nat Geo that validates the dermal ridge, also documents the statements by Jane Goodall will provide quote and link. Now, Bigfoot advocates are increasingly turning to forensic evidence to prove the existence of the giant creature. Investigator Jimmy Chilcutt of the Conroe Police Department in Texas, who specializes in finger- and footprints, has analyzed the more than 150 casts of Bigfoot prints that Meldrum, the Idaho State professor, keeps in a laboratory. Chilcutt says one footprint found in 1987 in Walla Walla in Washington State has convinced him that Bigfoot is real. "The ridge flow pattern and the texture was completely different from anything I've ever seen," he said. "It certainly wasn't human, and of no known primate that I've examined. The print ridges flowed lengthwise along the foot, unlike human prints, which flow across. The texture of the ridges was about twice the thickness of a human, which indicated that this animal has a real thick skin." Meldrum, meanwhile, says a 400-pound (180-kilogram) block of plaster known as the Skookum Cast provides further evidence of Bigfoot's existence. The cast was made in September 2000 from an impression of a large animal that had apparently lain down on its side to retrieve some fruit next to a mud hole in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington State. Meldrum says the cast contains recognizable impressions of a forearm, a thigh, buttocks, an Achilles tendon and heel. "It's 40 to 50 percent bigger than a normal human," he said. "The anatomy doesn't jive with any known animal." A few academics believe Meldrum could be right. Renowned chimpanzee researcher Jane Goodall last year surprised an interviewer from National Public Radio when she said she was sure that large, undiscovered primates, such as the Yeti or Sasquatch, exist. taken from article at Nat Geo http://news.national..._bigfoot_2.html I wish I could find the other show from Nat Geo with the dermal ridges that was facinating, but anyway there is evidence of something bipedal, what it is has yet to be resolved. Now here is a question for ya, do I really believe or have I just adopted the Devil's advocate role??? I will confess that I'm not a member of the bigfoot community or any cryptozoological community/group
  12. 100 bucks won't buy one seat ticket at the Panther games. Not even nose bleed seats, the cheapest i've found is 160, needless to say I have never been.
  13. First not all lakes are creek fed, second many smaller reservoirs are spring fed or only have one creek feeding them. So your lake may not have an area as described in the article. From reading your post it is describing an actual creek feeding into a cove or bay, that has a large flat formed by runoff.
  14. Rot is a chemical reaction, basically oxidation of wood. I know u can't replace them yet, the longer you wait the more likely the rot will infect other areas, especially the wall framing. Injecting the wood with bondo or glues will not stop the rot from progressing. U could always cover the windows with plexi to provide protection and still have the house appear occupied
  15. I've had two pairs and since being married none! One dark grey for fishing and one amber for shooting. I was amazed how the amber lenses really made the woodcock and grouse easier to see. They were also great for ultra clear water. Enjoy them
  16. Not hijacking the thread but aren't Berkley power products bio-degradeable. Also isn't there a company making soft baits from animal proteins?
  17. Hooaah To make ya feel better it was National Geographic, Dr Jeff Meldrum professor of anthropology at Idaho I believe. The primatologist was staff at NG. The lab was in Ontario. Not peer reviewed I don't think, as there was not enough material to have multiple labs duplicate the findings. It was a televised on Nat Geo, they had field biologist using footprints to speculate on population and using the size and measurements from the casts they imput this into a computer program which formed the classic bell curve when graphed, which according to the biologist illustrates a population of living creatures and not a hoax. A forensic scientist an expert in finger prints and foot prints examined casts that had dermal ridges (think fingerprints) his conclusion was that all of the casts he recieved were from an unknown primate, as the human dermal ridge on the foot run in a certain direction and form specific patterns. The same can be said for every specie of primate, in other words you could give this scientist a cast of a mountian gorilla, a lowland gorilla and a chimp and he can identify the specie from the dermal ridge pattern on the foot. He examined over 100 casts and never had a duplicate nor did they match any known patterns. The show had all types of accredited specialists with reputations on the line. Most concluded there is enough evidence to support the theory of a living population of some type of bipedal primate in the North West and Canada. These weren't backwood ignorant people rather all recognized as specialist in their field, and everyone is risking their professional futures and their personal reputation to publically declare their findings. The Washington stuff is from the late 80's early 90's when I was building homes, was in the publication put out by the North American Home Builders Association, possible Bigfoot population was cited as reason to deny an application to develop land. After some further searching this is a county issue Whatcom county in Washington, the county passed law declaring bigfoot protected within their borders, here is the link http://www.whatcomco...res1992-043.pdf I don't think your classification of Dr Melba Ketchum as a twonk and complete sham is honest. She is one of the pioneers in DNA testing, he lab was used to identify remains from the 9/11 disaster. She enjoys a good reputation in the field of DNA testing, paternal testing, etc, your biased classification of her is the reason that many in the scientific will not even consider the possibility that an heretofore unclassified primate exists in North America. Here is the link to her company and bio http://www.dnadiagno....com/staff.html Science until late 1800s declared there were no great apes anywhere, the mountain gorilla wasn't discovered until 1902, obviously these animals were around for centuries but scientific arrogance refused to give any credence to the wild hairy man of Africa. Famed primatologist Jane Goodall is on record as stating that it is possible that Sasquatch exists. As far as I'm concerned the traditional scientific community is too close minded on anything anymore, there is no true empirical experiments, rather experiments are approached with a preconcieved outcome and then worked backwards to prove a theory, instead of looking at the results to form a hypothesis. There are numerous scientific blunders that have been proven false, Piltdown Man, flat earth, heliocentric universe, etc. I choose not to remove the possibility, just when we think we know everything we find out we don't. Too many native American accounts, too many foresters, biologist, police officers, ppl who would be considered professional and reliable have encountered them. Makes ya think.
  18. I like a dark Dominican blend, I don't have a favorite brand as I don't possess the monetary means to go full blown, lol. I've smoked 40 dollar cigars, I got lucky and knew the manager of a cigar shop at a resort, and she let me "test" that was awesome. There are a couple of tobacconist here where I live and they have a house brand of Dominican made cigar, run about 4 bucks a smoke, I also enjoy smoking a pipe have a few Savonelli Church Warden pipes that are awesome, in those I like a light shag cut blend, called Honey Smoke.
  19. I was really bored the other day and came across a show Ancient Aliens, their theory is that Bigfoot is an alien, if so that would make them wookies like Chewbacca
  20. Washington state has declared Big Foot an endangered specie and use its existence to thwart any development. Additionally there is dna samples from an unknown north American primate that is closer related than chimps. I've never seen one but believe they are real. Its to bad that the idiots on TV make it a mockery with their Squatch calls and silliness.
  21. I really hate to bust your bubble, but WV did not choose to leave the Confederacy. The people of WV did not request state hood during the war. Most people who fought fought on the confederacy side. We had asked to be annexed from VA prior to the war. WV was made a state under an executive order for the sole cause of bringing the number union states more than the Confederate states. WV is the only state in the continental 48 done this way, TX never applied for statehood either TX is a state by treaty with Mexico. I wouldn't advise telling a true mountaineer that they're a Yankee.
  22. No bass will ever test your drag like a Snook!
  23. got off of my phone and on the computer, here is a link to the spinnerbait I referenced, I've caught more bass on this type of spinnerbait than all others combined. http://shop.assassin...rbait-CS-08.htm
  24. I chalk it up to luck and being rewarded for taking the kids out. Btw rock bottomed rivers are noisy anyway.
  25. My all time favorite is a pro clacker, impossible to find locally. Do a search you'll find it, its the weirdest spinner you'll ever see. Perfect for stained water
