Alright folks how about we post or 4th of July BBQ pictures?  I’ll go first and I decided to do Baby Backs Ribs today along with some thick sliced loin chops. Great time with the family. All stay safe.

Kayak largemouth bass fishing using a popper on a 3 Wt. I was delighted/surprised when this nice size largemouth bass nailed it.

Also, many bluegills today. One cove where virtually every cast resulted in a scrappy fight.

Great day to be out today, overcast and not too hot.

My first bow kill deer mount. I took this buck during the 2009 bowhunting season and just got it back from the taxidermist. I am very happy with the results and need some input on what you think?

I have two fly reels that need to go and reels are in great shape but I need to sell them so I can purchase another.
First in the picture is a Sage 1830 with a spare spool. It is rated for a 3 to-4 wt rod. The reel retails for $139 and the spare spool retails for $55.  I’m asking $130 for the reel and extra spool.

The second picture is a Lamson Konic 1.5 and rated for a 3 to 4 wt rod. The reel retails for $119. I’m asking $80 for it.

Hey all I am a traditional bow hunter beginner, plus I am looking for a “first time” bow hunt information? Could you please suggest the  gear I will need with just archery. I am a bit bored with shooting hogs on my ranch and looking for something new and exciting.  I have all the hunting clothes I’ll need, but what will I need for traditional hunting? I will be getting a Fred Bear grizzly recurve bow and the bow is a 50# draw weight if that helps any.

Thanks much

A farm close to be has a severe wild boar problem and the rancher is getting up in age and is letting me hunt on his property free. I am primarily a Turkey hunter and I’ve never hunted wild boar so can someone give me some tips?

I was just wondering if a 243 has the stopping power to take down a pig?

The rancher told me the hogs are about 350lb+.
