    2019 Duck Pics

    There were a handful of us posting pics at the end of each season on here and another forum before that. Nobody did it this year to my knowledge but it had me thinking. I don't print photos anymore so they're just being carried around on a phone If I don't put some of them out there. Challenging...

    Any IV Algae Updates?

    A dog died after being in there, that's why it was closed forever and later tested positive. I tend to think the dog died of something else even though it tested positive but that might be the Covid conspiracy theorist in me. Scout and Cake were in it the day after that dog with no issues , we...

    Quail opener

    I shoot some quail once in awhile in my IV travels but I don't think I've ever driven out just to target them. Running little bastards.

    Desert Bighorn Sheep Application

    You will be in the draw right away, check back in April. Realistically your draw odds aren't much worse than someone with max points. If there is only one tag in the unit, the points don't matter. A 2 tag unit you have the same odds as a max point holder for one of the 2.

    Smith & Wesson Border Guard SWBG2TS Review

    I wouldn't use the Chinese knife as a reflection on current S&W knives. I think they licensed the name to Big 5 at one time which is their business model, saw the volume and took over sales to everyone. A $20 knife cost a dealer $10, the distributor paid $7.50 or less and the company is still...

    Desert Bighorn Sheep Application

    It's done for this year but the process will be the same if you've applied for deer. 2021 tags are drawn in June you apply prior as soon as you buy the new license. I would take a look at draw odds before buying a bunch of stuff for the hunt.

    New freezer

    The one I've had for 12 years is a Holiday brand chest freezer, 7CF I think. It was cheap, works great. An upright with shelfs would be much more convenient but I keep a lot of stuff separated in big reusable cloth grocery bags with handles so if I need to get to something on the bottom I'm just...

    New freezer

    Non frost free is the way to go for a dedicated freezer IMO. I can put game or beef from the steers we buy in mine for a year without vacuum sealing and probably infinitely when vacuum sealed, although I haven't tried more than 3 years. Ice cream sits in there forever without frost too. The fan...

    Wister condition

    The work done since last season was much more than recent years. There was so much to do it was never getting done in one year. If they can keep that pace things will get caught up or closer anyway. Some of my sweatline spots are probably places you like too and will be worthless this year. I...

    Wister condition

    Matt, Did you look at 115c and 513b? Is that not disced with all the dead tules and rows of giant dirt clods? Not sure what rolling a field is maybe that's what they did? Either way someone's breaking an ankle lol. There was a lot more work done than normal but a lot of it will be a short term...

    GoFundMe For Longbowhunter2 (Lizandro (Lee ) Miramontes

    In no way comparing this to losing a spouse but I got a medical bill today and it made me think of this thread. About 6 weeks ago my son woke up with extreme internal pain and I drove him to the ER. Turned out to just be a kidney stone that he passed by himself. We have good insurance and I have...

    Check this out on the Salton Sea.

    Giant shallow body of water in an extremely hot and arid climate. Worse case scenario for evaporation. Water supplies became more valuable and saw increased demand. Farmer's and the irrigation district made changes to reduce/eliminate ag runoff that formerly fed the sea. The Colorado River has...

    Check this out on the Salton Sea.

    I think it was about 30x18miles. I fished in 30 feet of water on the west side. You could go from Red Hill to Wister without seeing anything deeper than about 12 feet.

    Check this out on the Salton Sea.

    Sea of Cortez like Steve said. Tortuava/tortuaba. Orangemouth corvina in the Salton Sea got to about 37lbs commonly to the high teens. As far as the smell the sea had stinky places and times even when healthy. Massive tilapia die offs were common from drops in water temp and from low O2 levels...

    Quick IV trip with the kid

    That's awesome you got 10 whitewing. Shot a limit of mourning doves and a bunch of euros this morning but only saw one WW.
  20. Mud Pigeon

    First doves in 30 years!

    As many or more, generally a lot more whitewings. Hunter friendly, cheap licenses, not much farther and really cheap fuel.
