Outdoorsman Thread
Re: Outdoorsman Thread
A fully restored Buick i saw at a country fair.
An early Model Ford.
A beautifully restored Rod. An absolutely fantastic" Rat Rod". The work on this was just so meticulous and well done, and the sound of it starting and ticking over was just like a cat "purring", till the throttle was given full bore. Just "Magic". Hope the pics come out okay.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Scott, I am so impressed with the constructive activities you come up with for these kids. Nothing boring. Always something to engage and entertain them. They'll remember it for their entire lives. "Remember when........................?"

Great old cars Cudgee!
Scott, glad to see the missions have returned. I bet the boys are glad too. Looks like you had some adult participation on this one. Excellent!

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Here is a photo of a typical " Aussie battler/bushie". Was talking to him at a tractor pull on Sunday, lovely old bloke. Doing it hard at the moment, but did not hesitate to bring his tractor in for the local event to raise money for the community. Was even bidding up to $350 for a truck load of fire wood to help raise money. People like this restore your faith in human nature.

This was lunch in a Russian mountain village, population 318. Nina served Russian borscht soup, sauerkraut, bread, tea w/cinnamon and a raspberry desert. I started looking for a Whataburger after we left!

They had just finished packing out the meat, their set for the winter.
If you go to my Facebook page there is a video of that eagle as he sat there and then flew off over the Kenai River to the other side.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Great photos David!
Re: Outdoorsman Thread
My brother took these two photos of the same eagle, on different days. Both of those shoots are within 50 yards of the back patio using a zoom lens. The lighting up here really plays a big part in how your photos will come out. It can be a real challenge somedays.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Great photos, and beautiful birds.
Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Very cool stuff on the last couple of pages. Thank you, Cudgee, Dlr10, and Scott!
I was out yesterday in my Kayak. It was a very nice autumn day, other than being unseasonably hot. The fall wild flowers are really blooming and I had to take some detours down little back roads where I could stop admire the flowers without getting run over. Just a beautiful time of year except for the heat.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
For those of you that like to fish, especially those in The South, check out the YouTube videos of Richard Gene, The Fishing Machine.
He has to be one of the most successful and prolific fishermen I have ever seen.
He has fished all his life.
He fishes all kinds of water, in all weather for many different species.
You will learn a lot just by listening to him talk.
Mostly catch and release, but if his wife says so, he takes some home for dinner.
He is a bit strange in his behavior at times and has an alter-ego named Elmo that shows up frequently.
Never curses.
He's in Alabama and I know exactly where he is fishing in this particular video.
I realize there is quite a bit of editing done to these videos. He did say it was an hour and a half before he caught that first fish.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Being early spring over here, these little critters are coming out of hibernation. They are Alpine or Mountain Copperheads, very prevalent in the high country as the name would suggest. Very aggressive at this time of the year, coming out of hibernation, beautiful looking snakes, growing to about 2-3 feet long. I used to see plenty of them when i used to hunt in the high country. Was advised to wear garters by the local Forest Ranger, i took his advise immediately.Hope you all have a good weekend.
Re: Outdoorsman Thread
NO WAY, I WOUN'T COME WITHIN A MILE OF THAT SNAKE!!!

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
That's a pretty snake.
I assume it's venomous.
Australia has a lot of deadly snake species.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Yes my friend very venomous. We have 9 out of the top 10 venomous snakes in the world. But you are right, they are very beautiful snakes, when you see them in the bush, they are actually mesmerizing. Just a useless bit of information, the biggest cause of dog death in Australia-snake bite.RobesonsRme.com wrote:That's a pretty snake.
