''Acorns and slingshot , Man!
one shot to the  rod hand, and they're  done  for the day......''
 
we're more hardcore closer to the state line.  we used iron ore pellets from the railroad tracks.  they have a crippling effect and send a stronger message.
 

I seem to remember  baked potatoes raining down from above while fishing Elk once....

BeenThereDoneThat.


So why couldn't yinz put a pair of "Simms" in the water on either side yinzself. That would give yinz some room and when yinz catch a fish, put a pair in your spot til ya get back. Priceless!!!

Don't laugh, a few years ago there was an article about Guides and Well to Do people paying others to stand on the bank and hold a spot till they got there later! (Wasn't Erie)
 
I heard this year up on Oak Orchard Creek NY if you wanted a good spot to fish you had better be there at 3 am.!!!! No joke ..... Don't get light till 7am !
 
And these people laugh at women shopping on Black Friday at midnight !

I have been wanting to go back up to the streams for some time now i used to love it.  I last fished for steelhead in around 2003, I actualy forgot how to. Two years ago I took my son up to fish on a invite charter fishing and well we didn't go out because boat wouldn't start so my son said what do we do now. I said well lets take a drive to walnut and see whats up we got there and watch people fishing but we didn't have what we need to fish so we wen't up to PR's and picked a few things up went back and waited for a opening and my son was doing the best he could but you know he tried. Well some guys on both side of us wher really good at it and came and helped my so and he caught a coupe and yes we did take 2 home. But with the help of these guys and yes the where locals that new there stuff. I thanked them for the best fishing my son had fun that day. My son is in the Navy now and was home for Thanksgiving and all he wanted to do was go up to fish. Well we didn't be cause of timing and I guess we should of. But it scares me to go by my self now I to just want to have a nice day fishing not scraping with people.

i'm looking forward to it.  i can make hiram in 45 minutes.  
fact is, i worked not too far from there.  this will give me a chance to pick your brain about rugers and glocks.    sure appreciate the invite.

 
easiest best to drive to my house .
I'm right off I-76 exit 48
we'll go from there
 
pick my brain?
we can do better than that, Brother
I'll fill your hand with a dozen different pistols to shoot
(my range is on my back acre)

Nice setup!  You are a lucky man!  Good looking range.

 put a pond on it and i'll become a squatter...lol.

 
I've given thought to it for years....ever since we bought the place 30+ years ago
Gave a little more serious thought to it in the last couple years
 
Think I mentioned here before, I'd kill three  bUrds with one stone
a pond for bass to catch and 'gils to eat
Mountains of clean clay dirt to build a kickazz  three sided pistol bay berm
and LESS GRASS to mow (not one of my favorite chores)
 
I did some more serious  research on pond building this year and counted some beans on costs
 
I've got some pluses going for me
I'm sitting on top clay. (which means no pond liners to hold water)
I can run perf pipe drainage from my farmer neighbor's fields as well as my next door neighbor's low/wet spot back acre.
That should provide the 5+ acre drainage I'm told I  need to  to  support  the size pond I'm considering
 
Couple grand in excavating equipment rental (excavator and skid steer bucket for a week ) which I can operate.
Got hundreds of hours on both, so I'm qualified  to "know enough to be dangerous"
One of my guys has over 1000 hours on the Bobcat from a previous job...
I have access to a dump truck too
so I expect we could be pretty efficient and get it all done in a week 
 
another grand on the cheap for drain pipe and gravel
 
 
I'm thinking the whole project could be done for about $4,000 and completed in a week w/2 guys
 
Only one thing stopping me really....I don't have $4G to throw at it (without Moma freaking)

I'm with DPMS. When are they going to allow Bazzoka and maybe even Mortar Round hunting??

Depending on proximity and quality of existing water supplies, installing a "dry hydrant" and ease of access may get you some cooperation in the "needed permit" department.


Oooops, sorry..... just thinking out loud?
