Sorry bout this but the more I looked at the first round there was something bothering me about the hard edge on the upper left wing--I had to tweek it and of course soften that edge Should be finito now

I hear ya---there used to be a law about disrupting your hunt--not sure if it's still there. Guys like this really don't know how to hunt that's why they piggyback on others work. I had a similiar thing happen with a cow and calf moose once---I could'nt believe my eyes as I watched it happen. Of course I've had as many fishing episodes as well where someone watches you at attempts to cut in---all I do is chalk it up to human nature and today's society with it's lack of respect for others. Bushart

I will add that to the list

Ok folks I just completed this work and have'nt even signed it yet. I'm killing a few brain cells trying to think of an appropriater title The story behind this stems from growing up in the Hammer and driving by way too many cookie cutter subdivisions--so yeah it has an environmental spin I will be sending this out to the art world this week but thought I'd give you a preview first out of the gate Terry

I'm no expert but I would interpret the law as --it is still a body of water within Ontario---stocking was probably taken from wild fish--so That too would be in question under transporting fish. Non seasonal "Commercial" trout ponds are licenced and regulated allowing the all year angling opps. Good Luck

OK I'll Bite I can only guess these comments come from leafland---anyway does Toronto still have a team?? Last I heard you have to make the playoffs to choke---I guess the centrer of the universe can always take consolation they won it all 40 plus years ago when there were only 6 teams in the league. You bet the Sens are awful but...c'mon leafers you know the rest OK leaf fans start your keyboards...............................................................now!!! And They're Off ---it's we beat the sens leading by a neck---at least we sell out our games on the outside---we're gonna win next year coming up the inside etc etc etc..

Go braid--you don't need any stretch for long distance hooksets

Really like these bird shots---every one reveals something different

OK I gotta weigh in on this one....one show with Shelly & Courtney they were fishing in the caribbean for bonefish (maybe some of you saw this one) Now they had a guide who like most used the terminology for bonefish as "Bone" I spewed coffee threw the old nostrils when near the end of the show the guide without missing a beat said "I'm gonna take Courtney around the other side of the island and see if we can't put her on a bone" Maybe it's just me

"And Boy Does It Catch Fish"---Yeah I had one--blame it on youth

I like the horse it looks somewhat mythical

I knew a guy who had a lund pro v 1775 with a 75 mariner----he trailered down lots of different terrain with the 2x4 between the motor and transom----he ended up having to repair his transom (Little damage) I have a 50 4 stroker and I always use mine---what do you have to lose.

Chili Contest If you can read this whole story without laughing then there's no hope for you. Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better. For those of you who have lived in Texas, you know how true this is. They actually have a Chili Cook-off about the time Halloween comes around. It takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the San Antonio City Park. Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting from Springfield, IL. Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted". Here are the scorecard notes from the event: CHILI # 1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI... Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick. Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild. Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy poop, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy. CHILI # 2 - AUSTIN'S AFTERBURNER CHILI... Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang. Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously. Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face. CHILI # 3 - FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI... Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of peppers. Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting poop-faced from all of the beer. CHILI # 4 - BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC... Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing. Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili. Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the beermaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-LB woman is starting to look HOT...just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac? CHILI # 5 LISA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER... Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive. Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement. Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks. CHILI # 6 - VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY... Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers. Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb. Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I poop on myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Sally. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone. CHILI # 7 - SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI... Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers. Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. **I should take note that I am worried about Judge # 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably. Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing it's too painful. Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach. CHILI # 8 - BIG TOM'S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI... Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence. Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor feller, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot chili? Judge # 3 -- .... No Report

Very unique expression sitting on that post--cool

schooling probably depends if their lunch is around

With winter hanging on this year the trout will still be up on the May long weekend in that area. Check rockpiles but watch your finder because they'll be up and down the water column---Spring we've caught them anywhere from 60 to 6 feet One year we were fishing jumbo perch in 8 feet with 1/16 oz jigs and my son caught a 10 lber Bushart

Hello, I very much like your work as well---the southwestern theme shows great detail. You asked in the studio thread to see more works so I'll attach the link I posted some time ago. Keep painting. Bushart http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=15664

Final frame here----detail on rider--remember hand goes around the corner I can now go to my happy place when I paint. Thanks Bushart

Little more horse detail

Shot for detail---lots of beadwork around saddle area and furs

Note horse's backside turning corner and hand in air also falls right in corner. At the end of the movie this was the scene looking for peace

Perspective shot

I used to spend a great deal of time in the bush in NW Ontario--I used to have fun with a pine marten--this is for him

This shows another corner---treat here is horse's backside goes around the corner 90 degrees--what does'nt kill ya makes you stronger. Native rider in movie was "Paints his Shirt Red" thus the colouring
