Hey everybody! Haven't been on here in a while due to life getting in the way but this place is booming more than ever! 20 foot boat builds, charity and giveaway stuff, and now SHIRTS?! I have missed this place almost as much as i've missed fishing weather! Long story short, i had to do a wildlife internship this summer for my degree (wildlife ecology and management) which put me in the middle of nowhere in a small camper from may to august. I had to drive 20 mins to sit in a mcdonalds for internet... but on the plus side, i had a small pond in the yard, 3 larger lakes (200-650 acres), and 3 major rivers (St. Francis, L'anguille, and the mississippi) all within 30 mins of driving! Couldn't fish the first couple of months i was there due to flooding, I even saw a full size pontoon boat going across a bean field but it was about 8 feet underwater! I did get to take my boat out a few times, caught a few fish, had a 6-8 foot gator follow me for a while, and found out that i need to have my carb cleaned or a bigger boat :mrgreen: ! Since i got back ive been juggling 2 jobs (back down to one now), trying to finish up with school (graduated in december!) and now trying to find a full time job... Just wanted to stop back in to say hi! Here's a few pics...
My humble abode
Bass i caught late one afternoon
Pontoon in the bean field bookin it!
One of the lakes early in the morning
Saw a few dozen of these guys!
Worked alot with these little guys
Another one...
This one had upwards of 15 rattles! You can see them towards the bottom of the pic
My pride and joy minus the back seat on Bear Creek lake
Beautiful day!
Made a friend
A great place to finish out the day!
And now a few from my other job this fall (banding birds)
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Me and a pair of Tufted titmice
Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted... we had a pair but they're strong so i only took a pic like this with one)
Pair of carolina chickadees
Downy woodpecker
Downy woodpecker drilling the crap out of my hands!
In my spare time, i build a 2 smokers that looks like shotgun shells!
Looking forward to participating again and meeting all the new guys!
