I dig them tracer arrows. Pretty exciting stuff but I can see things goin awry quite easily. Very cool vid by the way...

 

[SurfnSpear]

Yeah, the tracer arrows are novel! Does anyone know what those tarpon taste like? Enough to fill a freezer there...

I believe those are Asian Carp, also called jumping Carp. I hear they have taken over most of the rivers in the Central Eastern (???) USA and are working there way up to the Great Lakes area.

 

[SurfnSpear]

Be good if they are half edible...as thats a whole lot of free alien fish.rofl
Seems there is a serious side though....CLICKETY CLICK!

 

[scottie3030]

amazing! bet they dont have probs with crap viz!

 

[Oldsarge]

You can probably just drive up a river with a big net on the bow and scoop them up as you go. In Asia they are a great delicacy . . .

Brett that looks like a lot of fun, maybe we could try in down at Portland but instead of shooting fish we could try the windsurfers. rofl rofl rofl

 

[SurfnSpear]

Yeah...with a couple of Ol Sarge Blunderbuss's!rofl

 

[Amphibious]

hmmm, I see a new type of sporting clays emerging from this.......

 

[Oldsarge]

It is certainly less likely to cause upset in the neighborhood that my previous temptation to shoot trap on the local speeding teenagers . . .

 

[Amphibious]

ah, yes, a 10ga and #T shot works best on the custom civics that fly down my street, or so I reckon

Whose brilliant idea is it to introduce the most troublesome animals and plants around the world? rofl

 

[Oldsarge]

Someone hoping to make some money. "But don't worry, we'll keep them under strict control!" Until the next flood, storm, stupid pet-owner whose 'gator has outgrown the tub, etc.

Recently there was a problem with American Bullfrogs in the UK. These were sold as huge tadpoles, which soon grew into huge frogs. Fortunately they don't breed here.

A much earlier introduction in the UK was Japanese Knotweed. This highly invasive plant was imported by the Victorians as a garden specimen. It has proved to be almost impossible to get out of the garden.

Its cousin, Russian Vine, is a highly invasive climbing plant. Many years ago I saw a hybrid between the two, the only one of its kind in the world. A solitary straggly bush, it seemed to have no potential for botanical mayhem. Fortunate really...
