Rinella is a Dork - Episode 312

Same...I sent the video to my sisters and they then suggested that's why I'm fishing so much and not catching anything

There's some joke or correlation in there between hooking fish and hookers but I'm too tired to sort it out

To add to this already entertaining thread, the worst sport on the planet is golf. No comparison.

Robin Williams pretty much summed it up:

Golf is just a game of beer pong that got a bit carried away.

Is it just MN and WI where the all the adults congregate at the chalet and all the kids ride the lift?

Yes. Because adults realize the little hills are boring in MN and WI. Different story out west.

Rinella is a flatlander. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I like skiing. I like ice fishing. Last weekend I mixed both together. But if God gives you mountains, enjoy the mountains. Best hunter you never heard of was Paul Schafer, local legend. Sadlly, he died skiing on the Big Mountain. https://www.grandviewoutdoors.com/bowhunting/paul-schafer-part-1

I know its fun to drive wedges and stir the pot. But one does not cancel the other. Enjoy life, dammit, it's too short. And winter is too long.

Holy cow, I finally got around to reading that article. Mr. Schafer was one helluva bad@$$

Is there anything more anti-wildlife than a ski resort and the associated development?

75% of housing developments west of the Mississippi.

Ok speaking of dorks and silly things...
I can’t keep a straight face anytime someone mentions a “world champion caller”
In episode 315 when Michael Waddell starts listing his favorite callers.
Paul Buttski
Dick Kirby

Michael Waddell was my favorite guest in a long time, though I haven't listened as regularly in the last few months. I had no idea who he was beforehand, only kinda do now, but he seems way more down to earth than the meateater crew, no contest. And he's quicker witted than all of them combined other than maybe Phil the engineer.
Look at me, sounds like I'm reviewing a soap opera. Now that I think about it, maybe I am...

Dick Kirby

When I worked at the shop in college we hosted a calling competition/Turkey-Fest kind of thing for NWTF one weekend. Dick was our featured guest and judge, and showed up in a camo blazer with the old ghilie hat and basically looked like a cosplayer and we kind of giggled at the nice gentlemen in the silly outfit.

There were a handful of seminars before the actual competition - the first one was a couple of local hotshots. Their demo calls sounded fine, better than I could do, certainly.

Then Dick got up there for his seminar and part of it was a turkey "conversation" - he was voice-calling the gobbler (and the theoretical 'hen' he was with) and using one of his Quaker Boy calls to play two different hens on top of that. It is still the most impressive game calling display I have ever heard. Not to mention, he was a great guy through the whole event, hanging out with us shop rats, giving out free calls and videos to kids.

As "Industry personalities" go - I thought Dick was fantastic. And a hell of a turkey hunter (not just a caller). Dude had something north of 25 grand slams, iirc.
