I know it sounds like a clip from Monty Pythons movie, but, I was just hoping someone out there just might have something of interest to share. The last couple weeks it has been pretty slow on this site. I know it is the worst time to fish. However, I was looking for a new topic or a few new pics just to help pass the blues. Thanks, in advance.....

My great pair of beagle litermates when they were 6 months old, Sadie and Molly. Had to put Molly down last April and Sadie this April. They would have been 12 years old this past July.
Great hunters, probably best I've ever had! Were whistle trained and just super dogs.
I'm done. No more. I have a real nice dog insulated dog box that I built that wil easily house 3 dogs if anyone is interested.

Flew in front of me tues night...into my grill....got home checked for damage and found this.....next day took it to a reabilitator....was in pretty good shape.

Teach as a longtime beagle owner, I share your love for them and their hunting abilities. Only wish they could live as long as we do and hunt with us for our lifetime, letting them go is really tough. Later Hex

Is she a Russian tortoise? The pet store I work at carries red foot and Russian tortoises, those are the only ones I’m really familiar with hehe.
Some interesting scenes when you spend time around animals

So sorry to hear that. Been there done that a few times. It's like losing a member of the family. I have one now that is getting old and it's just a matter of time. I'm not looking forward to it. That said I get all my dogs from the local humane shelter once I'm done grieving. For me the best family dogs are the mutts. My present one is a pure bred American Akita and although I love her dearly, she has allergies and other issues that purebreds seem to have more often then the mutts.

Here I am feeding up to a few hundred brook, brown, and tiger trout in the 14 to 17 inch range in my trout pond. Most are in the 16 inch range. Not really sure what the number of fish really is. I hatched these guys in December of 2016 in my basement. Had the eggs Fed Exed to me from Utah.
These fish should grow at least two more inches by time I harvest a good number in October, and ship them whole frozen to fellow taxidermists and replica makers from coast to coast. The fish I keep until next fall will be 18 to 24 inches and 4 to 6 pounds plus. Had six brook trout over 6 pounds a few years ago.
The lines across the pond are to keep out ospreys which became a problem this year. Working good so far. (Click on Watch Video on Youtube).
BTW discolored water is actually iron in the water from the well that feeds the pond to keep it cold. Doesn't bother the fish. With hatching and fry and fingerlings in the basement I filter the iron out.

Very cool! All the small fish I feed in tanks on a daily basis don’t compare to this lol.

That was great thanks for sharing ,

Oh I don't know they have their own fun qualities. At least you don't feed as much as I do twice a day!

Quite a set up. Must have taken quite a while to pull those cords across pond and get them all tied up.
Very interesting.

Yes it was but had to be done. The ospreys were showing up 2 to 3 times a day. And of course they show up just after I leave on vacation!
-

You're welcome.
BTW the brook trout strain I believe originally came from New York. IIRR the Rome, NY strain?

Are the yellow tags on the lines there so the Ospreys have something visual discouraging them from swooping into the lines?
-

Yes! As much as I cringe they would take fish I don't want any harm done to them as in getting tangled in the line, which is 30 to 50 pound test cheap Zebco Omni mono line from Walmart. All the tags are actually a bright orange (orange duck tape), not sure why they showed up yellow in part of the video.

Beautiful Goldens right there!
I also see some Old Man of the Woods in there. Do you eat them?

I second that. I have 10 liters of dried Bicolor boletes already. Also plenty of black trumpets, Golden chanterelles, Smooth Chanterelles, and cinibar red chanterelles. Some oysters and chicken of the woods. Soon it will be time for birch boletes, red capped scabber stalks, chicken fat, russels, hen of the woods, and dotted stalks.

I saw this years ago. There are look alike's and my best guess is that they ate a look alike. I have been collecting and eating this species for almost 25 years now and have been just fine. People need to realize that mushrooms are FUNGUS.

I guess it depends on what you're fishing for. This is one of my favorite times of the year to target bluegill.

From my personal experience, they'll eat anything meat related ranging from cut up fish to chicken liver and everything in between.

caught it on a small cut up perch, we catch them alot night fishing, this one was at longpoint state park in the 1000 islands. we set out cut bait to catch dogifish or whatever for fun and usually hook a turlte or two. i put bells on the pole or tape the braclet type glowsticks to the end of the rod. this one hit the one rod I had with just the perch head but snapped the line then he came back 5 mins later for the rest of the perch on the other rod, he sanpped the line again but this time i got him all the way to shore and he just sat there for a minute so i grabbed em up, he didnt even try to bite, just let us take his pic and we let him go

would love to learn more about shroomin, i have only found puffballs near me but have never tried to find any other kinds, I would have no idea where to begin

puffballs make excellent pizza crust. Just slice about an inch thick, drizzle with olive oil and seasoning then grill until most of the moisture is gone. Then top like a pizza and toss back on the grill. Taste like an extra, extra, extra mushroom pizza!

deeds just read on the net. there are safe ones to pic that are easily identified. chicken and hen are 2 other common wild shrooms that are safe to pick. just stay away from the ones that have lookalike poison cousins. read up on them this winter. watch the " learn your land"(i think its called) videos on boobtube. that kid knows his stuff!
the health benefits of shrooms is unreal too, when you get to learning about them!

Start off by buying a few books and then taking a walk and see if you can identify them. High grounds, low grounds, fields, etc. Tree types, grass, shrub all make a difference. As always, post what you find on here and I would be glad to help you identify them. I have been shrooming for over 25 years now and its a common part of my diet. Take a look at my recent post.
