Bob the last time I hunted I was in my yard at 12 years old. I shot this squirrel from like a 100 feet away with my Bow and arrow! I was so proud! Freaking awesome shot I swear!
Then my Mom came around the corner and said "That poor little animal survived all winter to step outside its tree to get food to feed its family and suddenly be killed by you" That was the last time I killed anything....... She made me feel so dam guilty I just FISH now..... lol
And fishing in Tennessee is world class I hear! Cant wait!
I live 9 minutes from the TN River / Pickwick Lake...amazing smallmouth & catfish.
Just don't plan on eating any of it.
I hooked a large fish just below Wilson Dam in Florence AL one time on very light tackle...saw a flash underwater & thought I had a BIG smallmouth....nope...big ole Drum.
Was still fun to catch!!
