    SFR What You Can Take Through TSA

    It's pretty much a crapshoot. Totally depends on the whims of the TSA agents.

    Mushroom and other wild edible foraging

    I love mushrooms. We pick Shaggy Manes, Chanterelles, Winter (False) Chanterelles, hedgehogs and Chicken of the woods around here. We've found some great Chanetrelle spots less than a half mile away. :)

    Best Weather Forecast site? Your favorite?

    NWS NOW does all that for the Android plus provides NWS' text synopses of the weather. There is no version of it available for Apple products however. It also provides NOAA marine forecasts by clicking on the marine area through the radar map. You can then save that area as a "favorite" and...

    Seeking Real Opinions on Elk Rifles

    Use the slip-on type unless you don't care about devaluing the old rifle.

    Seeking Real Opinions on Elk Rifles

    Honestly, the venerable 30-06 is still pretty tough to beat for rifle that's used for deer and elk. 119 years young and still going strong!

    Seeking Real Opinions on Elk Rifles

    I think having an 18x or 25x scope is overkill at the ranges you're talking about. IMO it's better to choose a variable-powered scope by its lower magnification setting matching it to the type of hunting you'll do. Something like a 2x-7x or 3x-9x, will serve you better, especially in heavier...

    NFR For EVAN B: Cognac and other random shite

    Also good for paper cuts, hang nails, bruised egos (skunked lately?), and probably much much more. Currently conducting research in the interest of benefitting humanity!

    NFR For EVAN B: Cognac and other random shite

    I like good cognac and not only does it taste and smell good (Cognac glasses aren't called snifters for nothing!), but it has good medicinal qualities. My preferred treatment for any cold or sinus congestion is a nice dose of warmed cognac in an appropriate snifter, preferably by a nice fire or...

    SFR Video Gamers Lounge!

    I've never really had an interest in any video games. But I like to play chess online, does that count??

    Best Weather Forecast site? Your favorite?

    Sure. It is what it is. But this thread is about weather forecasts, i.e., not "what is it?" but rather "what will it be?"

    Best Weather Forecast site? Your favorite?

    I like the national weather service app "NWS Now" for my smartphone. I don't think there's an iphone version available though. Windy is nice to get a "big picture" view of storms in the Pacific. As previously stated, it's local forecast accuracy depends greatly on which predictive model is...

    Bamboo and the Winters Hope

    The Winter's Hope is a beautiful fly. I fished it on the big 5/0 Partridge M "heavy salmon irons" like McMillan recommended in the past but a fish I hooked in the tongue bled like a stuck pig - the blood just pulsed out of its mouth with every cycle of its gills as I released it. It was the...

    I hadn't heard that one before! :) Three covers so might as well play the original.

    Streamside ID for similar Polyleaders (VersiLeaders)

    The RIO versions I have do have colored bands on the loops. The new polyleaders do not. The three clear ones are almost indistinguishable from each other under good lighting -same with the two black ones. The others have distinctive enough colors that I don't need to do anything to tell them...

    Streamside ID for similar Polyleaders (VersiLeaders)

    Thanks. Can you see that on the black ones? I suppose just the lump of resin on one of the two black ones while leaving the other one alone work.

    Running into fishing enforcement on my first day flyfishing...

    I got a ticket for hunting without a license when I was 17 from a USFWS agent. I was walking back after hours in the dark the agent was waiting to check hunters when they came in from the field. It was an honest mistake. I had left my license/duck stamp in the pickup. I went to court and...
