Mushroom talk
This year should be a good one for fall
mushrooms. The season is rainy, lots of moisture out there so those fall
shrooms should be prevalent. I myself have been a bit under the weather
but have been getting reports from my son Mike that there are plenty to
be found. Take the time out of your day just to step into the woods and
look around. You will be amazed at just how many edible species the
wilderness of Tennessee holds. |

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA)
has announced that it will be launching its first-ever big game internet
check-in system this year.
With the new system, TWRA is trying to
accommodate hunters who may have difficulty finding an open check
station by now allowing those hunters to
check their harvested animals in over the Internet.
The system is open to everybody who harvests a big game animal, said
Daryl Ratajczak, TWRA Big Game Coordinator. Although we do want our
hunters to utilize our check stations, we understand its not always a
viable option, especially on those late-night retrievals. We also
understand that taking a deer to a check station is a tradition for many
of our hunters, and with almost 900 check stations statewide, it is a
tradition that hopefully will remain strong.

Disabled Sportsmen of America to host out of State Youth Hunter!
|
Disabled Sportsmen of America (DSA) is proud to announce we will be hosting a youth hunter from Georgia this fall. DSA will be bringing Kaleb Stalling (15, Ringold, GA.) to Tennessee for a Muzzle Loader hunt this November and then back again in January for a Youth hunt. Kaleb is a 15 year old paraplegic who is determined to not let anything stop him from getting back to what he loves. In 1998 on the day before Thanksgiving Kaleb was involved in an Auto Accident which left him paralyzed from the navel down. Prior to his accident he was an avid hunter, fisherman, and was involved in Ti-Kwan-Do. According to his Father James, Kaleb has never complained about anything since the accident. After Talking with James we found out they were having trouble finding a place to hunt in GA. So DSA decided to bring him to the Great State of Tennessee for a hunt. DSA will be covering everything from Lodging, Licenses, and food. We feel it is our duty to provide this young man a place to hunt and some great hunting camaraderie. If you would like to help DSA help Caleb, you can send donations to help offset the cost of the license fees ($251.00) to the Address provided below. All donations are welcomed. We can provide you with a tax receipt if requested. DSA is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring everyone, regardless of disability or illness has the chance to enjoy the great outdoors.
Thank You,
Jackie Thomas
Vice CEO
Disabled Sportsmen of America

Coalfield VFD shooting matches starting back this weekend!!
|
The Coalfield Volunteer Fire Department will be starting their shooting matches back this weekend 10/17/2009. This year they will have the first 4 shoots on Saturdays due to Friday night High School football. Then it will be back to the normal Friday night shoots. They get started around 6-6:30 and will continue as long as they have shooters. They have a variety of prizes including money, hams, steaks, pork loins, rolls of bologna, block cheese, and tons of other meats. All proceeds goes to help fund The CVFD.
They do have a concessions stand that has, in my opinion, the best fried bologna sandwich in Morgan county. Shooters can choose from two different classes Stock or Modified. They only shoot 12 ga. and shoot 2-2-10 shells at 35 yards. Stock guns are factory guns with factory chokes (No aftermarket chokes) and the Modified guns can be anything from a custom built gun to a gun using aftermarket chokes. Stock guns can shoot in the Modified class but, Modified can not shoot in the stock class. The shoot is located on Coal Hill Rd. In Coalfield at The CVFD shooting house. If you have never been to their shoots you are missing out, in my opinion they have the best facility, fairest scoring, and best prizes in the area. So grab that old 12 gauge, knock the cob webs off of it, and come win you some meat for the freezer! I look forward to seeing some of you guys out there.
Note: I am in no way affiliated with the CVFD, I am just informing the public of a great event!

Ok folks its getting cooler here in Tennessee and its time to hit the outdoors and start doing some fishing. Most folks go after catfish in the warmer months. While this is ok its not necessarilly the best time to catch catfish. Those heavy weights start hitting in cool weather and thats what we are about to set out for.
Starting out we will be fishing the Watts Bar for catfish this weekend 16th and 17th of October. We will post our report back here Monday on our success. As we are able we will fish other areas and make a report on those too. Keep in mind, later in the year when it gets cold outside and the lake seems to be dead, you can rest assured those moneter catfish are just itching for you to toss some cut bait their way. Cut shad is the best way to go just toss it in along a ledge 15-40 ft of water and wait for the big beast to come. So dont rule out cold weather fishing when it comes to catfish, this time of the year may be when you nail that monster youve been looking for.

Franklin man wins Tennessee elk hunting permit on eBay for $17,700
|
The way Andy Miller sees it, $17,700 is a bargain to get to hunt elk right here in his home state.
Miller forks out a lot of money each year to travel to hunt elk. Last week, he submitted the top bid of $17,700 in an eBay auction for a permit allowing him to take part in the first elk hunt in Tennessee in 150 years.
Miller, 45, a venture capitalist from Franklin, will join four others for the hunt Oct. 19-23 at the North Cumberland Wildlife Management Area. The others were selected in a computer drawing that included 12,881 applicants.
While Miller isn’t getting the same bargain as the others, he said the bid cost him about the same he has paid each of the past eight years to hunt at an elk camp in northern New Mexico.

Dickson man shoots the Chupacabra and sticks it in his freezer
|
Link to the video for this story
John Hunter says he noticed the odd-looking animal a couple of weeks ago when it showed up in the driveway of his White Bluff home.
He and his wife tried to get closer to get a better look, but the creature ran off.
Hunter said, “Then it came back, closer to the house. That’s when it took off and came back again. Every time it came closer and closer, like it wasn’t afraid of me.”
Saturday, Hunter took his rifle and shot the animal.
He says he’s kept it on ice ever since, until he could figure out its species.
“I thought, ‘what is this?’” Hunter said. ”It’s hairless. It looks like it came from some other place we’d rather not go when we die. It’s got a snout. They have longer canine fangs than normal dogs.”

Hunting Morgan, Scott and Anderson Counties Tennessee
|
|
I figured I would drop a topic on hunting here in Morgan County Tennessee and surrounding Scott and Anderson. It amazes me to find out that there are still a lot of people who did not know that TRWA now owns a large portion of Gobey. Gobey located 1.8 miles north of the Wartburg city limits on US 27 and to the right, for years has been a highly popular hunting area and has produced some massive whitetail. For those heading to Gobey during this 2009 season keep in mind you will be on TRWA controlled land. Currently TRWA has all of the property on the left side of the main road coming from highway 27. TDEC owns all of the property on the right side of the road. Both properties join at the top of the mountain near the Bunch Graves. That is another subject as well. Don't be caught messing with the graves as TWRA watches them closely.

I would like to share a fishing technique that has proven successful for me for the past 3 years on many of Tennessee's rivers and reservoirs. The Shakey head is rising to the top of many angler's preferred go-to bait. The Shakey head is a finese technique that has proven to catch big bass and sheer numbers of fish when it seems like nothing else is working. Fish are interesting beings that seem to have moods just like humans in a way.
Fish appeal to certain baits at certain times of the day more than others. When fishing for bass we generally see an active feeding period usually early in the morning, late in the afternoon, and well into the night time hours. I know almost everyone has given up after the morning feeding frenzy, loaded the boat up and went home because the bite just seemed to shut completely off. Well the shakey head technique can be a great way to coax those less agressive and seemingly lethargic bass out of their hiding places. During the mid day hours bass relate to low light areas, either concentrating in deeper water or shady areas like under laydowns, around boatdocks, or flooded timber. These places create ambush points for predator bass to sit in cover and prey on baitfish as they swim by. Bass again are alot like humans in a way that they become lazy after that morning feed. They seem to just back into a hiding nook and just sit and relax and wait for an easy meal that will not cause them to expend or exhert much energy.
The Shakey head technique is just a perfect presentation that will drive the bass crazy when placed in their strike zones. My favorite jig head for this rig is a 1/8 oz. jig head, with a 4/0 hook and a Zoom Finese worm. The water condition depends on my color. In clear water I tend to go with a Green Pumpkin or a Red Bug color. When the water is a little more murky I can't resist a June Bug color. I try and coordinate the jig head's color with the Finese worm's color. I like a light Fluorocarbon line (around 8lb.), this allows for easy castability and depth control. The fluorocarbon line allows for a very sensitive strike detection and limits the amount of stretch when setting the hook. Monofiliment just seems to float a little too much for me and has a significant amount of stretch.
The best way that I have found in presenting the bait to fish is to SLOW DOWN! Fish the bait slow, allow it to sink to the bottom, give it several shakes with the rod tip at 45 degrees and reel a couple of turns, then repeat the process. Be patient and you can drag this bait through almost anything. The more the bait is shaken in place near laydowns and any type of cover, the more the bait stays in a desirable strike zone for quality Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Spotted Bass. Get out and give this technique a try. This technique will get you more strikes when it counts. I promise you will put more quality fish in the boat and you will turn those long days with few bites into long days with a great deal of bass. Sack'em!
