Kill it, cook it, eat it[views:19307][posts:70]_______________________________________ [Nov 22,2011 8:49am - justinvaettir ""] largefreakatzero said: we'd need to go above the notch for better partridge hunting though. I'm from the white mountains. used to walk lots of tall grass and orchards in the fall. never had a bird dog, though. |

Especially for retrieves, they'll just about always come up with a dead or crippled bird, where we would be looking for them for an hour. |

Hell, they earned the birds, they might as well enjoy them. The stinky breasts disappeared in record time to say the least. |

Purty photo of downrigger and leadcore rig: [img] Old guy (me) with 3.5lb landlocked salmon: [img] Fillets marinating in balsamic & spices: [img] Grillin': [img] Served with brown rice pilaf and peas: [img] 'Twas skarfed mightily. Until next time, tight lines, foghats... |

| __________________________________________ [Apr 2,2012 10:15am - largefreakatzero ""] It was chilly. We were the first ones to the Sunapee boat launch at 5:30am yesterday and it was 25 degrees. Hence my marshmallow man attire. |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 23,2012 3:40pm - largefreakatzero ""] Though these fish were released instead of eaten, I will still share. Quick local solo mission on Saturday afternoon yielded 4 largemouth and 2 smallmouth (those are bass for those not in the know). They were in a prespawn pattern, so I pounded a rocky, windy shoreline with the spinnerbait pictured. [img] [img] [img] [img] They ranged from 1.5 to 2.5lbs. Tight lines, foghats... |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2012 4:36pm - the_reverend ""] good you let these babies go. I think the biggest fresh water bass I ever caught was about 6 lbs. though where I fished the inability of little kids to safely remove hooks from mouths/gills dropped the average size of the fish we caught to under a pound. |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 23,2012 5:01pm - largefreakatzero ""] I don't keep freshwater bass, they're more fun to fight than to eat.I think my biggest largemouth was about 7+. I didn't have a scale, but I did have witnesses before I released it. |

| _______________________________________ [Apr 23,2012 5:03pm - AndrewBastard ""] actually, I dont think you can hunt with a gun like that in NPT...maybe thats the Mt Hope Bridge? |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 23,2012 5:04pm - largefreakatzero ""] We were in Jamestown, just on the edge of the harbor. That is indeed the Newport bridge in the grim, foggy background. |
| ____________________________________________ [Apr 23,2012 5:26pm - floatingeyecorpse ""] I have a hand me down Remington 1100 thats in immaculate condition, I usually just shoot trap with it but want to try hunting. Also I really would like to go rabbit hunting with my .22 |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 23,2012 5:33pm - largefreakatzero ""] Take the hunter safety course and you'll be good to go. 1100 is a solid shotgun. I have a buddy that runs beagles for rabbits, it's a fun hunt. |

| ___________________________________________ [Jul 25,2012 10:22am - largefreakatzero ""] I usually fish catch & release for bass, but this one got throat-hooked and was doing the float of death: [img] Not being the wasteful sort, he went into the "deathwell" and was my dinner Monday night. Fillet, dredge in flour/cornstarch, dip in egg, dredge in flour/cornstarch again, pan fry, and fish sammiches for dinner: [img] Friggin' tasty if I do say so myself. Until the next installment, tight lines, foghats... |

Opening day (Oct 1st) afternoon solo mission -- 2 pheasant, 2 woodcock in 2 hours. [img] Nothing died this trip, just a boat ride on the CT River to scout for ducks. [img] Yesterday, solo mission just above the Notch. Shot these 2 partridge as a report double (1 flushed, I shot him, the other flushed on the shot, I shot him too). Also walked about 5 miles and the only signs of life was 1 dude walking into a cut. [img] The cooking/eating will be coming soon. I have buddies coming up to help me with yardwork this weekend and my freezer is full of BRIDS that need to be eaten. |
