sporting good stores will charge you $80 for a bucket with a camo seat on top of it

The only national park I've ever been to is the smokies but it's bc like all of my vacations growing up were p much just going up to the mountains which I adored, I still love the smokies but man you will not catch me driving in that park nowadays

We have a huge spider web from some.species of orb weaver over our front porch that unfortunately we have to take down today :( she's made it very hard to get into the house without destroying it so I think it's best to take it down and hopefully that gets her to move somewhere else

I'm outside at work near the picnic area today and it's peak time for squirrel activity before winter and I see... 0 squirrels 🤔 the picnic area has oak and hickory trees and I can SEE acorns and hickory nuts so where are they

Yeah as anglers there needs to be discussion around certain practices but there is very much a culture around certain types of fishing that's very. Macho is rly the only word I can think of and it leads to a lot of mishandling

It’s truly baffling to me that so many of these stories focus on “wow big fish” and not “this is an IUCN Red List Critically Endangered species that is extremely physiologically fragile and often does not survive fishing practices like this” www.mysanantonio.com/news/south-t... 🦑🧪🌎🦈🐠

Buying a fishing or hunting license has its benefits, for instance outdoor alabama sent out academy coupons to everyone with a license so I'm going shopping this weekend

lil green heron illustration ive been poking away at.

I want my masters but idk if I'll go for my PhD like hmm maybe if we do end up moving to Oregon I'll go back and everyone has to call me Dr Forrest

I love when I get to use my degree even if half the time it's someone I haven't talked to in years sending me blurry pictures of an animal or a smushed insect they think I can identify

Take a brief break with some of the gars @garlab.bsky.social👍 Here you can see both gar species native to Minnesota, the Longnose Gar and the Shortnose Gar🐟

Trout coin purse…??? 🐟

Banana stealing bastard

I love to fish with straight flourocarbon and then complain about fishing with straight flourocarbon bc it knots so easily and then never buying braid bc I can't convince myself to spend 20 to 30 bucks on fishing line 😔

By next year I'm hoping to have enough done to our yard to justify getting pollinator habitat signs I also need to talk to our neighbors w the horses bc they spray herbicide along their fence including our side and I need them to come to an agreement with me

It's been storming all day but if it stops before I go to bed I wanna go frog lookin

Thinking about the estimated historic range of southeastern prairies 😔

My car has collision sensors and for whatever reason anytime a hummer is coming from the opposite lane my car panics and starts screaming at me which, honestly fair, no one that drives a hummer should have a license

Gar at work

The unfortunate part about restoration is convincing everyone else it's worth it lol like restoring southeastern grasslands would improve deer, turkey, quail, and dove habitat all of which are popular game animals but everyone has such a big attachment to trees as the pinnacle of wilderness

Oh if you're in the eastern us! This is the site I'm probably gonna be using to work a bit on my backyard habitat restoration project: roundstoneseed.com I also recommend looking for a local nursery that sells native plants!

I found a native plant seed site selling southern Appalachian grassland seed packs so now I know where I'm getting my seeds for my mini meadow as soon as I figure out where I want it

I love bananas but sometimes eating them makes me gag

My pecans are falling with the husk still on :/ I won't start worrying unless they keep doing this through october but it could just be the squirrels or bad weather

Also saw this dude

I heard a barred owl or something similar but it wasn't in my yard so I couldnt find it :/// but look at the little baby pine tree, there's no pines in my yard so its seed was probably brought here by an animal

It's bisexual visibility day so if you care about your bisexual friends you have to buy me a fly rod /jk...

I can't say I'm shocked but I am appalled

Oh finally, it's just missing my HIP but it's on my app so that's fine

What's it like living in areas where you have fish that actually bite when the water gets cold? The only thing I can catch in the winter is a cold

If I have the energy for it I wanna draw some fishes and work out a good way to put them in my style I rly struggle with that

returning for preorder this friday! let's get cozy!!! 🦊🐟 campmustelid.shop

If u ever bookmark any of your posts pls know it was an accident bc of the way I hold and scroll on my phone 😔

Everyone on FB and everywhere else talking about how beautiful the red spider lilies popping up in their yard are meanwhile me and my husband are brainstorming how to kill them all without touching them

There should be fishing education courses bc hundreds of people think these are the same species

I'm in a couple fish id groups both to help id and get a better understanding of some of the variation in a lot of sunfish species but mannn I hate how often the "identification" people give is "catfish bait" or "good eating" or "we call those (the exact opposite of what it is)"

Lack of general knowledge of the nature around us astounds me. Bobcats live all over the us and yet half the people in the comment section of this video the screenshot is from were calling this a serval 😔 in what universe bros

Somewhere along here I'm gonna start working on a mini meadow before long, we can't use the whole yard bc we're working on a garden, getting ducks and will need room for the dog to play too. This is just the back half of our yard though

Instead of like restrictive guidelines on NSFW material with no clear indication of how you would even dictate if a piece is within the guidelines or not can we like. Have a decent block function that make soft blocking/removing as a follower possible

We've also decided to remove the existing grape vine we have bc it's in a terrible spot and it doesn't do well and we want some muscadine anyway

There's a spot of trees we're gonna have to remove everything from bc it's just wrapped in metal fencing for some fucking reason but I'm thinking of putting another pecan tree and a couple pawpaw, there's gonna be elderberry around the house and I'm trying to figure out what to add in other spots

@adamwhayes.com is my husband btw he's online like once every 3 months though
