Travel safe Rob, catch you on the rebound!   Dave S

It won't be long before Habib sues Jeff Dunham over the charactor "Ahmed the Dead Terrorist"....ho hum...   Dave S

You have a very large and very nice WMA right in your yard at Cheatham WMA. Big game, small game and I even think they have a public range. If you live in Ashland City, you're in the middle of some great small game hunting! http://www.tnwildlife.org Speificaly http://www.tn.gov/twra/pdfs/wmaseasons.pdf I hope this helps you out!   Dave S

Shaun, looks like a good pelt too! Gonna tan it?   Dave S

NICE!!! Good deal Shaun!! I've had no luck this year at all!   Dave S

You got it Buddy!! Them were the days huh?   Dave

Another "point" for our 2nd Amendment rights......NOT!   Dave S

I seem to remember that. Been a long time ago...   Dave S

My local gun shop sells those targets by the thousands. The Fort Campbell Soldiers are the biggest buyers of them. AIRBORNE!!!   Dave S

Stay with it. It's the Squirrels breeding season, and a "whole lot of shak'n going on" (or chasing in this case). Be persistant!   Dave S

Or a Turkey, or a possum or a......   Dave S

Welcome to TGO Ma'am!   Dave S

Sorry I came on kinda strong there DaveTN! Yes I'm a retired FF/EMT and current part time LEO, but I was laughing so hard I pert' near fell out of my chair!!! Good day to all!!   Dave S

Sorry Sir, but I currently work as an LEO! I love my self too and my job!! And will do whatever it takes to get it right!! Thank You so much! Dave S

That's good stuff right there!! Looks like the driver started to leave without his "bro" and "cuz" doesn't it? LMAO!!! Dumb #####!!!!!   Dave S

Not for free I don't. Most I know are charging 250.00 to 500.00 to get on "the list". And others with hogs on their property don't allow hunting at all. It's a bad situation all the way around!   Dave S

I personaly DO NOT do anything that my reloading charts don't tell me to do! Primers or otherwise. Someone else may have used them though.   Dave

Hunting "mast" trees right now is a bust. Nuts dropped from the trees a couple months ago. Squirrels are feeding on the ground, searching for fallen nuts, seeds and mushrooms growing under the leaf floor. Even digging up stocks planted last year. This is the time of year to watch the ground, not the trees for feeding squirrels.   Dave S

.....don't forget the biscuits!   Dave

I like my squirrel cooked with dumplings. The following recipe is killer and "those" folks who swear they don't like skwerls, will never know what hit them when they eat this stuff. You can sit back and snicker when it's all said and done! And have a "cold one" on me!   2-4 Squirrels (dead) and cleaned very well to insure all hair is cleaned away. 1 stalk of celery thinly sliced 2 carrots thinly sliced 1 can Cream of Celery soup 1 can of Cream of Chicken soup 1 can of Chicken Broth Water 10-12 cups (enough to completely cover squirrels. adjust as needed) 1 table spoon ground sage 2 packs of frozen dumplings (you can also make your own or use canned biscuits) Salt and Pepper to taste   1. Place chicken broth, squirrels, water and sage into a 4 quart or larger pot. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium/low cover and allow to simmer for about 45 minute to an hour or until the squirrels are tender. 2. When squirrels are tender, remove squirrels and allow to cool. Save contents of pot. 3. While the squirrels are cooling, add diced celery, carrots and both cans of soup to the pot. Allow to gently simmer uncovered. 4. When the squirrels are cool enough to handle, pull all meat from the bones. Return the meat to the pot and chunk the bones and shot into the trask can, unless you collect weird stuff of course.. 5. Bring contents of pot to a boil. 6. Using homemade dumplings (my preference, good recipes on the web) Canned Biscuits or Frozen Dumplings, Drop dumplings into boiling broth and cook until done. If using canned biscuits, pinch off bits of biscuits and drop into broth. Homemade dumplings can be rolled out very thin, cut into strips and dropped into the broth, or dropped by the spoonfull. When all dumplings are in the pot, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 15 mins, stirring occasionaly to avoid stick. Serve, salt and pepper to taste.   This is one of my favorite "Deer camp" recipes cooked over an open fire. It is also great cooked at home in a civilized kitchen! Ya'll please enjoy!   Dave S

Follow the same tactics you use to deer hunt. Go into the woods and sit down. Squirrels nest in the trees, but right now they are feeding on the ground. This time of year I like use .22 or .17hmr as long shots are not uncommon. Most times, a spooked squirrel on the ground will run away or up a nearby tree to get to it's nest for safety. Early and late in the day are best times. However, they can be seen throughout the day at times.   Dave

What he said!   Dave

I really like brewing ales, and lager is pretty good now that I got a temperature control for my beer fridge to keep the fermentation temps right. Brown Ale, Vanilla Beer and Marzen (October Fest style) are among my favorites to brew!. A 5 gallon batch typically makes 2 1/2 cases of 12 oz bottles, or one 5 gallon keg. You can't beat a good homebrew!   Dave S

Thanks for the fly pics....off to the tying bench I go. Asuming of course you don't mind me tying those flies.   Dave
