Took the Owyheee out yesterday on the same stream and caught a bunch more bluegill. Talk about fun. Even catching tiny little fish on these setups is a blast. Seems the black flies have been working really well lately. I don't get much action on the lighter color ones, but toss a black wooley bugger on or something of the like, and it's game on.

As opposed to mumbling without using language? Also, as for daycares, i'm glad they don't allow CCW there, because if someone wanted to shoot up a a bunch of kids, not being allowed to carry a gun in there would certainly deter said maniac with a gun.

I got the cascade and the oywhee. I really enjoy fishing very small streams, so I'll probably get more use out of the Cascade. I did a little fly fishing for my first time today with the cascade on a small stream for some bluegill. Man, talk about fun. Never thought catching small bluegill could be so much fun, ha ha.

What are waders? Ha ha.

I'm supposed to go out to fish the Snake River in ID this summer. I'll be taking up Tenkara fly fishing. My whole life I've been an ultra-light open face spin cast guy with rooster tails and rapalas, so this will be a whole new thing for me, but i'm pretty excited for this next chapter in my fishing life. I'm excited to try this tenkara thing on some of my favorite trout streams in PA as well.

Yeah, bird poop everywhere is disgusting. They case a lot of damage around here. I found a roost the other night and am going to follow up on some leads on other roosts in the area. One guy told me, "You are doing God's work." Ha ha He said the bird crap is like and inch thick where they roost and it gets all over everything. I'll be following up on his lead as he said they appear right about 6-7pm, which sounds about right for a roost as it's dark then, so it's too late for out-staging.

Geeeze.

Ha ha. I see what you did there.

Owls are excellent killers, the only problem on the bird abatement side is they are so quiet when they strike, most of the rest of the flock doesn't know what happened, so it isn't great at moving roosts. A hawk on the other hand makes it a noisy affair, so when a grackle gets nailed, the whole roost knows what happened.

I'm trying to find a viable way to get back to OH, ha ha! So, I'm an apprentice falconer. My sponsor/master has a bird abatement business he does a a moonlight job. Literally. He gets contracts for bird abatement business from anything from a small gas station, to municipal contracts (he used to do the River Walk in San An). So what you do is lets say a gas station has a bunch of trees where a entire flock roosts at night. They sh*t over everything. Ruining paint on cars, doing property damage and costing the property owners lots of money in cleanup costs. THere are several ways to address this: 1.) Hire a pest control company who pays some kid $10/hr to come out with a laser pointer. Problem is, birds quickly learn the red dot doesn't pose any danger, so the roost returns/stays. 2.) If it's in the winter, municipalities will sometimes release airborne chemicals that strip the oil off bird feathers, causing the birds to freeze to death. This is bad because it kills thousands of birds all at once, and also takes out indigenous/desirable species as collateral damage. 3.) Falconry. You hit a roost 2-3 nights in a row and the raptor gets a bird each night, the roost quickly learns there is real danger here, and they need to find a new place to roost. Obviously I like this option the best because the field of falconry interests me, but I also think its the best solution because it's more long-term than some of the other methods used, causes less collateral damage than some other methods, and it's using nature to do what nature does. If there was significant business in OH, and my sponsor was able to secure enough business, I could fly the roosts for him, giving me a good reason to visit OH more often.

I may have worded that wrong. Sorry about that. I see now how that could have been confusing.

I'm referring to large roosts, like hundreds to thousands of birds congregating at night in parking lots and such whereby causing lots of damage and expense for property managers/municipalities/vehicle owners. Down here we have these black birds called grackles that cause tons of damage. In Auburn, NY when I lived there as a kid, it was Crows. 100,000 crows in a city with a population of 35,000.

I know, it sounds like a weird question, but I am wondering if any of you know about any large night time bird roosts in Central, or heck, anywhere for that matter in OH, whereby a lot of damage is caused to property, such as buildings, sidewalks, vehicles, etc?

I have a CPA do mine...

I wrestle with my wife.

Wish this was 2-3yrs ago. These things were everywhere down here in the junkyards. They are getting harder to find now though.

I just use a Mac valve and tune it through my stock ECU.

WTF! @ 3:11. That kid just dominates.

That's the only thing I'd be saying. "I already gave a statement on what happened. For any further information, please refer the the police report which clearly cites who was at fault and cited as a result."

I'd tell that kid's Ins to EAD and read the police report and see who was cited.

Probably why people don't want this ish in their back yards. The ironing of the timing... http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/24/canada-oil-pipeline-spills-200000-liters-on-aboriginal-land.html

PAVO! Y U QUIT DSM?!?!?!?!

I would have went with, dog took advantage of his friend's imminent demise by stealing his friends play toy under the guise of trying to help.

Yeah, DO NOT accept/sign anything on the personal injury side. On the car side, I can try to help out with the total loss value on the vehicle. For which they most likely will try to screw him. I'd advise you to PM me after they officially declare it a total loss and give him what they deem as the value. He should NOT argue with them at that point. Just shoot me a PM.
