A pleasure to read, as always!
You chose the better part of valor with those turkeys... kicking one of them may well have put you in the hospital. For them to flock at you like that, they were probably defending nests, and I can tell you from experience that just one of those birds can give a man the beating of his life. I got attacked by one when I was hunting, around age 10. I was just a little shit then, but one whack of that turkey wing knocked me right off my feet, and that turkey worked me over worse than the gang beating I took in KC.
If you miss the bears in Tennessee, try to make your way to Maine. Drive to any dump in Maine after sunset and you can watch all the bears you want from the comfort of your car. Just don't piss off any moose, they make turkeys look like church mice, and your car won't stop them.
Oh fuck dude, I laughed out loud just now, you painted a perfect picture—funny. Yeah, defending nests sounds about right, they were pissed!
Thanks man, I appreciate that. Don't ever hesitate to tell me nice things, whoever says they don't appreciate compliments can't be trusted. Like someone who says they don't play to win—liar.
That's two reasons to go to Maine now, it's on my list. I don't like lobster, can't stand it. Tried so many times and ways. Just ain't my thing. But I made a deal with myself a long time ago—until I have lobster in Maine, I won't finalize my decision.
Thanks a lot for stopping by @paradoxtma.
Stopping by is a pleasure, as always! I'm afraid you're not likely to find Maine lobster to be any better than, say Connecticut lobster. If you're into mussels, though, you can pull buckets of them from pretty much everyplace on the coast that I saw. The seafood restaurants right on the coast, with their own fishing fleets, will have the freshest, cheapest seafood you will find anywhere. People talk about the seafood up there, but the best part for me is the forest. There are places north of Moosehead Lake where you can drive for hours and not even see a utility pole.
Yeah but will I be able to access my email and what about navigation?! No poles for two hours sounds like someone's lost.
I've always lived in coastal cities, rarely am I land locked. We're in Tennessee right now waiting for these gates to reopen and I guarantee the worst fish in Maine kicks the shit outta the best fish in Tennessee. Never thought I'd say there's better crab than Northern Ca or Oregon and then I had some in Savannah. :zip:
Catfish, that's it. I love catfish, don't get me wrong, but when it's your only choice.....
