Some of the locales confuse me.. cause some call them alligator gar or long nose gar or buffalo gar. Most of the gar I've seen have those short snouts,, but here around the damn you find lots of different kinds. I know there all some sort of gar and nobody around here has died from eating yet.. so I guess were good. :o LOL

No that's a longnose (maybe a hybrid?). The gator snout will be almost as wide as it's body. (edit, I may retract that, even with the skinny snout it looks terribly like a gator gar to me)

Here's a gator:

Longnose gar can grow up to 6'. I believe the big ones posted above ^^ are longnose.

That duck may have spooked it too. Where are you at? Those are nice looking Mallards... All the ducks left Texas a LONG time ago heading back up North. I wish they'd stick around longer.

Oklahoma. We got some nice ducks hanging around here. Lol.. I was just feeding a few.

Maybe I'll cook one for dinner. :D

[HairyScandinavian]

Are they staying year round or just hanging out before heading back North?

[grace_ou]

Are they staying year round or just hanging out before heading back North?

They are more abundant right now.. but we do see a few all year long.

Ive seen more this year then I have in the past.

Lots of wintering birds stayed North this year due to the drought conditions we had down here, there just wasn't much water.

The drought was killin us here.. but recent rains have lots of wild life out right now. Exp the ducks they seam very happy to be invading every where that has a puddle this week. I have few camping in my yard.

I can def picture him bacon wrapped and sizzling on my grilling.. :p

I can also picture me sleeping me alone tonight cause my gf had a fit about me killing a duck in the back yard. :( She thinks I shouldn't kill anything that's cute..(( that's just crazy talk.))

I have a hard time killing cute critters too, but if you feed her the bacon wrapped duck prior to telling her that you killed it all will be good. She will be woo'd by the flavor of the goodness.

first trip of that day. 450lbs of blue fish in 6 hours.... now quick nap and out for round two.

[J3T]

Was able to get into my honey hole, maybe a 20 yard x 15 yard hole. Water was high so i knew the fish would be in this hole.
My brother caught 4 small walleye before hitting this 17.5" smallmouth..

http://i.imgur.com/3hvZG.jpg

Then I landed this bad boy, 25.5" walleye

http://i.imgur.com/fmafD.jpg

got both these boys out of the same hole about 20 minutes apart, only stayed out about 2 hours

[psychowolverine]

Nice one X-ring.. and with a 6mm to boot..

[X-ring]

I was coyote squeelin' when I ran into this fella. Jumped him from the timber. He tried to run off and I shot him in back of the head at @ 80 yds. with a 75g v-max. (1 shot) . I filled both my elk tags last year. My buddy shot his cow elk the next day a mile from where I shot my bull. I had to go back to the kill site since I left behind my thermos and saw blade. A mile drag down hill in the snow and into the back of my truck whole... It doesn't get any better. This bull was @ 5 to 6 yrs old. He green scored 338. My mom is using the rack to hang coats at her house since there is no room at mine.

[psychowolverine]

Thats awesome... I want an Elk one day but im in no rush. Likely wont ever go, but I can dream. lol

I think if I have to pay to hunt there are 2 other things in line that are cheaper and something I want.. Gator and Bison.

[X-ring]

I want a moose myself...after 15 years I hope to draw. It won't happen this year though...Where I elk hunt the moose aren't afraid and getting within 100 yards is very easy.
I am always happy with a cow elk and I usually draw for a damage hunt starting mid August. It's easy meat and target practice out in the alfalfa fields.
The deer where I live are like shooting gophers....they're everywhere. I pretty much hunt for the table now. Horns are a bonus if I put forth the effort.

[HairyScandinavian]

What's a damage hunt, X?

[X-ring]

Damage hunts are put on by FWP on ranches that have too many animals. You sign up online and any tag is vallid. I sign up for those on the first day and minute you can sign up online. I'm 5 for 5 so far in the district I hunt in. The season opens up a month early for ya and goes clear into Feb. You have specific dates and times to check in at the ranches to hunt on. The tags are mostly antlerless elk/ deer. I put meat in the freezer w/ those tags/ opportunities very easily.

Can't believe this thread hasn't been bumped in the last month or so, archery elk season just finished up here in CO.

I got this guy on the last weekend, bugled him in and got him at around 25-30 yd.
Got at least 1 lung, just sliced the heart, and found the end of my arrow buried in his liver. He only went about 30 yd. before he dropped, and it was all of 150yd. to the jeep trail (all down hill). Will probably be the easiest elk extraction I'll ever have.

http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt284/fitstick/elk2.jpg

Shot him with an old Hoyt Raptor 80lb bow w/ G5 Montec broadhead.

Damn that thing is a brute! What'd you catch it on? Yall floating the line out on a balloon? Looks like a red balloon in your pocket.

Caught it on heavy gear! got a tld50lrs loaded with 80lb braid. Yeah we used the easterly winds and balloons filled with helium to float big baits out into good water.
Thats just an optical illusion, it is a ballon but its not in my pocket..they are very big balloons.
We use really heavy gear because there are tons of sharks around...if you waste any time you lose your fish to the sharks. Even if you dont waste time you still lose fish to sharks.

[HairyScandinavian]

Those are some damn nice Kings man. You pop them out into meatballs? Seems to be popular with Kings here so was curious how yall prep them over there. I fought something heavy on my tyr50lrs this weekend but the hook pulled after about 10 minutes. Had me down to about half a spool and was probably a $15k shark. :eek: Wife took 1st in Women's though so we still scored. Wall of text report is up in it's own thread here in the OR forum.

[SuperDavid]

kings? na spanish mackeral. Their flesh rates very highly over here. we just fillet them and freeze it to bring it home. Good as plain fillets or curry or whatever.
Almost anything thats going to get you down to half a spool on a reel like that is almost definatly a shark. In australia anyway ...unless your talking marlin

Our Smacks have spots over here and don't get that big.

hmm strange..must be different fish with same name?
The shark mackeral around here are sort of a bit spotty and they don't get as big either, biggest they would get is about 13kg but the average is really more like 5 or 6kg.
The spanish mackeral here have been caught over 35kg

[Madsen89]

Australia is such a crazy country. No wonder they used to sent criminals there; that place is bananas. BRB most dangerous everything in the world on one isolated chunk of land, and giant fish to boot. Pretty sure the biggest fish I've ever seen caught was my dad's ~36" Northern Pike.

[iNoScopedRFK]

Man, that mackeral is a beaut!

Nice blacktails.

We feasted on whitetail tenderloin and backstrap in camp all week, but wasn't my kill. I had a nice tall 8 point duck my arrow at 30 yards. :(
