Re: Outdoorsman Thread
The Cow Peas of my youth were brown and more the size of English peas (green peas) and tasted more like a cross between Pinto Beans and Black-Eyed peas. I think they're the same as Crowder Peas. I've never heard of Iron and Clay peas, so I had to ask.

Spent a pretty rough day fishing east of Core Banks on the Atlantic yesterday; we only boated two flat-nose dolphin. Still, a day spent on the water is a good day (except for two of my partners who were sick most of the day - they'd tell a different tale). OH

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Big ships don't bother me but small boats on big water (less than 100' or so. The boat, not the water) turn me green. Chucked my cookies on a whale watching tour last year down in Mexico. Very embarrassing when you're the only one.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Been sea sick one time on a fishing trip out of Murrill's Inlet, S.C.
We had continuous 15 foot swells that day.
I have never been more proud to get my feet back on solid ground.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Never been sea sick (fortunately) but I don't like not being able to see land.
On the other hand I have no problem going 70 mph on choppy water in a Ranger or Triton or Nitro 22 ft. bass boat.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
OH - that looks like a great day! I have never caught any of those Dorado or flat-nose dolphin. They stay a little further off shore than I want to go in my little boat. I have been sea sick on boats and ships. The Navy pretty much cured me after a few months, but I have plenty of sympathy for those who suffer.
On Monday these fellows came by to see what we were doing. It was very interesting to see them laze along just a couple of feet under our boat - I could not get a decent photo of that.

About 2 1/2 weeks we posted some pictures when we planted the grandsons' deer plot, here are a few more showing the early growth. These Iron & Clay peas should last all summer, but about 6 weeks before Thanksgiving they will be disked in and some cool weather crop will be put in their place.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Drive on Dogg - a dead yote makes for a happy hunter! Finally got my wife talking "boat" with me - been a passing fancy for years, but I'm thinking ducks in the winter, a little fishing in the salt marsh, and some fun running about in the sound with her (and my daughter). OH

Two popular sayings by boat owners.
Definition of a boat. A hole in the water into which you throw money.
The best two days in a boat owner's life. The day you buy your boat and the day you sell your boat.

I have an alums-craft 15 ft. runabout and two canoes upside down behind the barn for when I retire someday. The runabout has been there for 30 years and the canoes for 10. It could happen some day if I win the lottery(I have never actually bought a ticket). My chickens roost on the Evenrude in the chicken barn so it's still being used some.___Dave
