Jose the spanish dude's latest work is awesome. He talked about hunters, non hunters, and anti hunters. When quizzed by an anti about how he could kill and eat birds, he simply answered mexican judo. When further prodded, he spoke in broken english, judo know where your food come from, I do.
bwt sure are prettier in the spring. but they taste the same at any time. go figger. travis

the thing about bwt, they frequent the same lakes in april they do in sept, and it just happens to coincide with the north mississippi crappie spawn. All that tasty stuff together at one time. BTW, the sun rises in APRIL as well.
Speaking of crappie spawn, I wonder if fly fisherman have no tolerence for bait fisherman. I wonder if all of them think they are on a higher plain than trollers? Are night fisherman automatically branded because the sun rise is the end of their day? The guys that buy stinkbait, not as tradational as the ones that make their own? I do know the crappie fisherman always cuss the bass fisherman for roaring down the lake, but I can't honestly say Ive ever seen anyone operate an outboard at anything other than WOT 95% of the time, so I always wondered what the fuss was. Always thought it cool, people on the bank want to fish as deep as they can, and people in boats always want to be as shallow as they can be. I credit that more to human nature, than fishing stradgey. travis

Oooooooo... Flyfishing for crappies during the spawn is a favorite of mine.
I think I released these into some foil with a little butter.
I quite reading the other thread. I think half of it was semantics. What wasn't doesn't matter cause I know why I hunt and am not going to change anyone's mind on why they do, nor do I want to. Hunt why you want to hunt and fish why you want to fish. Just make sure and follow the rules and if they change you should have spoken up louder.

Don't pick on Nash,
He probably killed more fowl in one season than any 3 of us will in a lifetime. He was a true southern Gentleman about it though.

How do you know he was a true southern gentleman about it? Because he said so?
He had one of the first 3 inch magnums with overbored chambers and named it bo whoop because of its distinctve noise and his prowness at long range shooting. Guess if he was alive today he'd be buying 3.5 heavyshot at mack's and have a sticker on his barrel that says MEATSTICK. Reckon it aint skybusting if you hit em huh?
He had private grounds in east arkansas & north mississppi (wapanocca and beaver dam). Ergo, he was the first rich memphis duck hunter to lease something up, probably for too much money on top of that.
He loved the summer duck. Negro workers poled him around in a boat while he shot wood ducks on the flush. Not seen many jump shooters appricated in these threads. Given his enjoyment for killing birds, I imagine the negro wudda been replaced with an envinrude given the chance.
Didn't he loose the most famous shotgun of all time? Bo whoop? I seem to remember the orginal fell off the fender of his car. Sounds like someone I want to hunt with, have a custom gun made for extra long range shooting and then leave da sonofagun on the car.
He was a tremendous writer, that we have proof of. And he was a duck killer, that we have proof of. But was he truely a southern gentleman about the way he killed sacks of birds? Or are we simply assuming that, because we like the way he writes, and history has a way of being kind to people who have talent. Just as our founding fathers wrote all men are created equal, and then went home to their slaves & wives who couldn't vote or own property, but are thought of as high minded indivuals, can we really just assume because the man could write he was a true gentleman when he whacked and stacked? Maybe its the accounts from friends and guests of his that we're to belive??? When is the last time anyone on the internet ever came out and said, we like to set up 75 yards downwind from people and skybust? Never. Because if your friends are with you, doing the same things you are, then I'm quite sure when the story is told none of ya'll look bad.
I'm thinking nash invented the 'if it flies it dies' sticker, it was just years before a pick up truck window was advabile to place it on.
I do not know is nash was, or wasn't. Having never shared a 'sunrise' with him, I can't honestly answer that. But if I had been invited to one of his incredible duck holes, even if I thought he was a bum I don't think Id made it a habit to tell people. First off, its not my nature to tell others if I didn't tell the person themselves. Secondly, I might wanna go back, and bad mouthing a big cheese is certain to get back around to him. Thats how it is when ya got money, land, stuff, whutever. Even when your being a dumbass, your friends wont tell you. And if you got birds, your friends wont tell others either. travis

well travis when you put it that way if you look close enough at famous and revered people in history it comes down to them just being people that happen that know how to do something better then most.
you make it sound as if nash was nothing more then a redneck with some cash, a dictionary and possibly a case of alzhiemers. which im going to have to agree. theres actually quite a few of our beloved outdoors icons with problems. the great deer tracking benoits of vermont that are featured in NA whitetail mag and a few others, are drunks. i used to work with a kid that was their neighbor, said they never went after a deer without at least a six pack in their gut. shot deer on posted property from the road and various other things. but they can hunt and they can kill. and now there famous and admired for being great hunters.
great men are just men caught in moments in time that were smart enough to seize an opportunity to better them selves and in years to come will be thought of as great.

History is told by thoes that write about it.Why the large amount of game was shot by so called sportsman is a mystery to me.I can understand market hunters in their day,but why would a sportsman want to kill 50 or a hundred birds in a day.Doubt that he ever cleaned and ate them.Gave them away,probably,More than likely many were wasted.Even today.we have a 15 bird daily limit on canadas,for the entire month of September.That totals 450 for the month.If they really want to thin the flock ,because they have been determined to be a nusence,then allow the sale of canadas at market,and drop the bag to 5,like the rest of the season.

Ed, i completely agree. Most great men thru out time, where simply men who could spin their own wishes into something that really sounded great later. They weren't bad men, but very few where anything but normal men. I guess my only point was humor, and to point out how hilarious it is for us to not have patience with another part of our flock, when they are simply focusing on other parts of the same sport. For some its a full strap, for others its the work of their dog, for others its the boat they made or the deek they carved. Thinking others are wrong for focusing on a different part than you have sure seems absurd, especially when giving an honest look at some of our 'heros' that have formed some of the deepest roots and tradations of our sport. Todays media darlings play to the whack and stack crew, which makes perfect sense... do you think the boat & decoy making people buy more stuff than the back window sticker crowd? The products make the videos & magazines, which sell more products. History will be kind to folks like duck commander (one of the favorite targests of this board). In reality, why shouldnt it. Hes not a bad guy, he just is a duck killer, and was the first to bring big time production to a video, and figger out how to REALLY make themselves look good (having 3 extra shooters off camera sure makes for shootinest hairymen dont it?). Hes even used his celebrity to witness to people and to preach. Not a bad guy in the scheme of things, and history will do fine by him Im sure. travis

MMMM! That pile of crappie makes want to break out the fishin' gear.....not long now..........
i had 18 different stickers on my old truck and my new one has around ten, 3 of which are ducks unlimited, one thats a big pintail, one H.S. Strut, one conn. waterfowlers assc., "quack addict" up by the cargo light and a few others. the truck is white so all the stickers are two. i love stickers so my shotgun has a du duck head on one side of the buttstock and a primos "speak the language" on the other with a waterfowler.com stocker on the forend, again white stickers on a black gun. im also looking forward to having a duckboats.net sticker on the truck as well.
