It depends on what you want the shotshells for:

For dove hunting I bought 1 1/4 ounce 7.5 shot at Kevin's. Nobody else seems to carry the 1 1/4 ounce.

For clays I bought some cheap Estate shells at Academy when they had them on sale.

30-06. Bolt action. Synthetic stock. Scope 2-7x or 3-9x, 40mm+ objective. There are a number of really good shooting relatively inexpensive rifles available now.

If they are having consistent blowouts in the league they need to look at coaching and/or how the teams are selected. Typically that seems to happen when certain teams get stacked with talent.

bman, what type of boats are those? Used to hunt Lafayette years ago. I fondly remember the little red leeches and being downwind of the dump

I'm not ancient by any means (53), but my overall impression of hunting when I was growing up was cold or cooler weather. I don't remember mosquitoes or sweating.

I am waiting for cooler weather. I have finally gotten to that "older and wiser" stage of my life.

You should auction off a trip for charity. Man oh man, you can catch fish.

Deeper water than trout. Flashy lure or white. Speedy retrieve. I like to set up a chum line to bring the Mack's in.

I'm ready to learn!

Now this would make the best bumper sticker:

"Just remember the trip out on the pond is the reward and the fish you catch are a bonus."

I remember falling out of the boat at Jackson with my Dad. Scared me too!!!

How about pictures from boats on Craigslist in Washington state?

Would like the option that you can clean your fish before landing as long as the remainder meets the size requirements. Won't help with the fish I normally catch.

Looks like an awesome time with your family!

I don't believe the problem is really "keep big fish" versus "let big fish go". I think the problem is a lack of manners (now I've started it). Momma always said if you can't say something nice don't say anything. I don't post much on any of the forums I belong to. It seems as if...
