    I know 15 years ago they had to pass to be bred from and registered.As I have found with most breeds some of the best ones wasn't registered.

    My father could only control his jagterriers with shock collars.A jagdterrier who is independent enough to run a hog alone for several miles doesn't really care what his owner thinks or wants.He works for himself.A will of his own.The way I controlled the one I had was I hunted her on big islands where she couldn't leave and everything on the island was fair game.The last canine in the world I would choose to take in an active henhouse would be a jagdterrier.Just my opinion.

    I've made the statement somewhere on here before that a 15 pound otter will test a terrier much more than a 150 lb boar.Something to that effect.

    My father kept jags and I have kept pats.A good jagdterrier will work a track several miles.He will give tongue as Mr Aussie said.As far as digging purposes the black ens are better.There are critters in the ground that are much more of a test for a terrier than a hog.Ive seen just as many good hog dogs from the shelter as I have from big name breeders.Not true of digging dogs.I live in Alabama with a thriving hog population but I don't hog hunt my blacken's.Just my experiences.

    I camp from my kayak so I pack really light.pound of hamburger meat,pound of bacon,dozen eggs,loaf of bread.Cooler full of water as dehydration is serious in Alabama.I would say water and snuff(tobacco) are the most important things. As far as sleeping arrangements I also pack light. These hammocks are the only way I will camp now.Run a rope from one tree to another,Hook the hammock and secure the Skeeter net.If rainy weather use a tarp instead of mosquito net. Quick and easy and weighs about a pound.Being rocked to sleep by the stars along a bubbling creek is someth

    There is a lot of good advice on here.I would like to add you need a wife who is devoted.My wife is gamer than me and stuck with me through hell and back.I took the plunge over a decade ago and don't regret it.If the wife ain't happy you ain't gonna be happy.Whether you stay or go. Another thing I believe is job security is a myth in my opinion at least in Alabama. I would recommend 3 to 6 months income saved back. I haven't made a profit in two weeks.Its just part of it. Hope this helps. Good luck ?

    Thanks I haven't ever heard of anyone fishing for them. If y'all start having problems with silver's holler at me.Id be glad to drive down and thin em out.
  8. Rickshaw swami
    That's the ones thanks ?
  9. Rickshaw swami
    Do y'all have many silver down your way?

    Yes but common carp and grass carp aren't generally considered a problem.Silver carp and bighead carp are the ones that wreak havok on a rivers ecosystem.These are the jumping carp you might have seen on TV.These type can't be fished for as they are filter feeders.They consume most of the phytoplankton in a river system which leaves other fish like minnows to starve and in return bass and catfish have less to eat. Here some rednecks chasing the "bad" carp

    In the US bowfishing for carp is the same as far as spending money.We are overpopulated with certain carp though.So bowfishing helps reduce numbers but the spending is the same.Now days they think you need $100,000 airboat with a sorround sound stereo.Enough lights for a jet runway.I still do it the old fashioned way.Small Jon boat,a lurching lamp,one shooter.Thats how I taught my daughter and she still loves it.She got this one the other night(buffalo).I was a proud father. The same boys with the big airboats who have to have all the new gadgets,rarely make it over 5 years. I

    Thanks.Thats how I been catching them? I prefer to cast a topwater bass plug above the rapids and let it tumble down. If this doesn't work I use a soft plastic swim bait. These are made in Japan with squid juice inside.I let them tumble down the rapids.One of the two generally works.The other creek fishermen in my area has fished these creeks but they fished the calm water for largemouth and never found the smallmouth as they were hiding in the rapids and largemouth avoid these areas. @Wolfdog91 Those soft plastics by keitech have caught me several channel cat o

    In the last month I have spent more days creek fishing than working I'm ashamed to say.It all started one night when I was reading about the habits of smallmouth bass.They are said to be the hardest fighting fish in North America.I had a theory that some of the larger size smallmouth bass would migrate from the river up shallow clear creeks to spawn.These bass behave more like trout in the Mountains than typical largemouth bass.Long story short I was right and I have been catching 3-5 lb smallmouth from creeks.This hasn't ever been accomplished in my local area.The funny thing is I can't tell

    ? If Walshie ever makes it down to Dixie I will buy him a steak and cigar for that one.

    Thanks I would say you are right about the different sharks.Some had a pointed nose and some had a more rounded nose.I think they were sandbar and bull but as you said hard to tell.I have taken the Florida land based shark fishing course.Its supposed to help you identify each one but I still can't tell ?
  17. Rickshaw swami
    For the money you spend for a deep sea fishing guide you can buy a kayak,rod and reel and go shark fishing as much as you want. Interesting thing I have learned about sharks is they will gladly ingest old car parts they find but will run away from bait that has been previously frozen.They are strange creatures in my opinion.

    Penn senator 114 It has about 800 yards of 100 lb braided line.Line capacity is important when land based shark fishing.Sometimes I will kayak a bait 400 yards from shore.You still need enough line to fight him.With that said I have never hooked a really big shark.Technically my reel is too small to big shark fish but it has worked for me. We landed six on this trip over three nights of fishing.None of them was quite as big as the one I already posted.

    Drove to the emerald coast in Florida to do a little shark fishing.Bought some red snapper heads at fish market today.After dark we kayaked baits a few hundred yards out.I immediately had a screaming run that broke my line.I spent twenty minutes building a new rig.Kayaked the bait back out.5 minutes after making it back to land I had another screaming run.This time I let the shark run for a few hundred yards before setting the hook.It was a thirty minute battle but landed this six footer.Im pretty sure it's a bull shark.Its now 1230 a.m. my arms are cramping but I'm ready to drop another bait

    In my local area we have largemouth, smallmouth ,spotted bass and saltwater bass in our local rivers. they keep everything elses numbers low.I actually don't know alot about pickerel but I have accidentally caught them in our creek while fishing a crawdad crankbait for bass.But honestly only ever seen a handful caught but always a small creek and always small crawdad crankbait.As wolfdog said around here it's all about the Church of BASS.?
  21. Rickshaw swami
    Find you a mud flat or backwater close to a muddy river.Fish at night.A fifty pound buff with an arrow through him can drag 2 fat asses in a flat bottom boat ? There's no muskie around here but if by pickerel you talking about a fish that looks like a small pike,then yes I've caught afew in small creeks but never in rivers.
  22. Rickshaw swami
    Have you thought about trying for buffalo with that setup.I have wondered in the past if it would work.Never tried it though.
