Bute the bullet and buy a party barge.
If you think you might fish, you probably won't. Party barges are well suited for...partying.

I had a friend call him a few weeks ago. I think he was looking for a 4' net and I want to say it was around $100.

Tim Wade makes custom nets. They are very well liked. You can talk to him and he can make whatever mesh size and lead weight you need.
I think something that small would be around $100.
You can find his contact info on thehulltruth and other forums.
But like others have said, no reason to spend that much for a kid to throw...especially if it will be in areas where they can get hung.

No.
Had some turkeys around yhe farm and set up a ground blind.
Really didnt expect a hang up at any distance, these birds aren't super pressured.
Had I thought much about it, I would have changed it out for something a little tighter.
Got it up on the wall last week.

re: Great Blue Heron photographs

There is a blue heron nest site on the property behind me. They nest in large groups in the tops of some very large trees.
Some evenings they will circle before coming to roost, there will be 20+ herons, circling like buzzards. Its a pretty neat thing to watch.
Once they land, they start cutting up and making all kinds of racket. I had no idea they were so vocal. They can be heard from hundreds of yards away.

Those nitro shells seem to do pretty well. They came in a truck that I bought used. I should have switched out my choke from duck season, but I was lazy.

Had one come in quiet on the farm. Hung up at 45 yards and strutted and gobbled a little. He didnt come in and after 5 minutes I decided to take him.

I used to use wall mounts, but it wouldn't be practical with the large fishing kayaks today.

I play every day. I usually hang around beyweem 700-800 on 3 minite games.
I've never studied openings or strategy. I like to come up with my own, no matter the outcome.
You're going to get your butt handed to you regardless of your skill level as you move up and down based on your elo.

I've been listening since I was a kid.
What a great format and a great personality, his program will definitely be missed.
I wish they would have brought in a successor. Its such a unique show, there is nothing else like it.
Such an abrupt ending, I hope everything is well with Don. I wish him a happy retirement.
