Looks like many are wearing a mask to hide their identity I assume…i say by the end of month someone will be shot protesting on a campus. Brings back memories of 1970 Kent State shooting…. Those that conceal their identity are gutless and, in my opinion, aren't willing to accept the ramifications of their beliefs and actions. I'd be willing to say that a good number of them (agitators) don't really believe in what they are causing trouble about and/or don't understand the situation in Israel. I'd really like to speak at a local school board meeting to discuss some of the shenanigans of a few board members and upper-level administrators. However, that would certainly be detrimental to both mine and my wife's occupations. Send an anonymous email? Nope, no way. I refuse to acknowledge anonymous allegations and, therefore, refuse to do so myself. I'm getting more than a bit nervous about our oldest daughter going to college. She wants to go to IU and has the grades and ability to do so. Frankly, that scares the hell out of me. Bloomington was a liberal cesspool when I was there 30 years ago. I can only imagine what it's like now.

All I can say to this is Bring it, would not end well for those type of people...SF Woody I'd love to see them shipped off to Palestine without any access to American bank accounts or credit cards for at least a month and then ask them (especially the female protesters) if they still feel the same way. Don't forget about "Gays for Palestine." It would be interesting to hear what they chant as they are thrown off of roof tops for being gay. I have nothing against gay people. It's just absolutely ridiculous that this group openly supports a religion that openly calls for their death.

I heard on the news that a ticket to the infield is $130. For those of you that don't know, the infield is nothing but a giant party. One would have to try pretty hard to even see a horse. I can't imagine how much booze costs.
I went about 20 years ago. I'm glad that I did once and have no interest in going back.

Good news! Planning to head towards the opposite corner of the state Sunday morning. My friend's grandfather built a 4-5 acre pond on the outskirts of Holland in the late 60's. When he sold the property, he put in writing that the sale included lifetime fishing rights for his family. The current owner doesn't fish and has no interest in starting to. It's absolutely my favorite place to fish. The bluegill and red ear are just like you have pictured. Crappie aren't plentiful, but two-pounders are caught every year. The best day there ever was a few years ago when we (two of us) had two steel mesh baskets full before noon.l

My Marlin .44 HATES the Leverevolution rounds! It shoots the Winchester "white box" better than anything I have tried.
When I had a TC Omega, TC had "practice" sabots that it shot better than any other load. I've never had much luck with fancier ammo, including the ridiculous 12g sabots. I always used the Brenneke sabots that were just a bit more $$ than standard slugs.

Went at daylight yesterday morning and it was a total bust! I knew I was taking a chance with the wind, but I didn't think it would be that bad that early. I was very wrong.
The small bluegill were very active, but nothing else. It was the first time out this year that I did not bring home 20+/-

I'll take pizza from the Gaslight in Huntingburg anytime. Sportstime in New Albany is great as well.

Who is capable of cycling from CA to IN in seven days or walking in 29? Did I misunderstand something?

I got fish the easy way. A buddy gave me a bag of fresh walleye fillets they caught on the Detroit R. 😉 I offered some crappie fillets to a landowner the other day. He said the only fish he eats is from Kingfish or Lond John's. I was absolutely speechless. He won't drink whiskey or eat smoked meat either, but will drink cheap beer by the gallon.

My brother has some that have a small cylinder on the rear legs that allow for limited rocking. Those will be the next ones I buy. I don't feel like I'm sitting in a sling and the rocking is somewhat peaceful to me.

I think the only news worth watching is local news. At least you'll get a decent weather report, hear about local sports, local crime, local issues, etc. relatively accurately and mostly unbiased. When it comes to national news and the big players, they all have an agenda so you should probably just watch the one you agree with most so as not to elevate your blood pressure too far. Well said. I was just listening to a story about the NPR bias/whistleblower. How do we stop our tax dollars from funding this propaganda outlet? Coincidentally, there is a new report out that some Republican Senators, led by Marsha Blackburn of TN, are proposing a bill to cut public funding for NPR. That would be the end since NPR is funded 100% by the public.

I saw a bass on a bed. Bluegills will be spawning next month. Usually they spawn here in June. A whole month early, same for the bass. The "rule of thumb" around here (S. IN), according to the old timers, is that bluegill spawn starts at the May full moon. Probably because they spawn the entire month and the full moon is a convenient topic to argue about. I cleaned a bunch of crappie Sunday that were loaded with eggs. The few bluegill did not have any.

If we are going to be honest, they are all somewhat biased and unreliable. Tucker is often in a different world, Hannity gets a bit dramatic, Alex Jones is a whacko, etc. On the other side, Joy(less) Reid knows nothing but RACISM!, Joe Scarborough is a straight up A-hole, Don Lemon is perhaps one of the dumbest individuals ever given a spot on the news, etc.
One of the most disappointing things I witnessed as my mother (RIP) grew older was her watching The damn View religiously. That is perhaps the greatest concentration of morons ever assembled. Who the hell are Sonny Hostin and Joy Behar and why are they on TV? Not far behind is my FIL. If MSNBC warned of a snow storm for Texas in July, he would believe it. I promised my dear, late, MIL that I would not debate politics with him unless provoked. I do my best, but it's almost impossible sometimes.

I read where one of Biden's press Secs. blamed Trump for the most recent Iran/Israel conflict. Has Biden EVER accepted responsibility for ANY of his failures?
There's at least one anti-Trump/pro-Biden member on here. What say you?

Brought home 32 yesterday after battling the wind for two hours. The wind got so bad that it was not worth fighting anymore. Most were crappie and a few bluegill. All caught on a variety of jigs and color seemed to be the main difference. The female crappie were about to pop.

Not a very good question.
Is the proposal to have three months of any weapon to mirror archery? Or two weeks of any weapon to mirror firearms?

I worked with a guy that liked to take trips to Atlantic City, NJ. I don't know how often he took a pistol with him, but the last time he did and left it in the hotel room. He realized that when he was on the road home, but just a few miles from the hotel. His wife called the hotel to inform them that they were on the way back to pick up a handgun that was accidentally left in the room. They were met by local and state police upon arrival. He was cuffed and stuffed after a brief interrogation. He spent a few nights in jail and was fined several thousand $$. I don't know what the end result was, but I know he was facing some serious charges.
I know, it's on him to know the law, but he was nothing more than a very nice person that made a mistake.
