    I saw them at a Lollapalooza one year, they were the last act. I would rather tell my wife she looks old then listen to Trent Reznor. even though my wife looks young.

    That was for the Smashing Pumpkins

    The Beastie Boys were there also but I can tolerate them more.

    Having big public lakes with no native veggies for the ducks to eat sure ain't helping. You got lots of that in FL. Here, not quite so much.

    So did something happen to change vegetation up here? Climate seems not that far off of NoFL

    They killed it all and stock carp to take care of any that tried to grow back.

    Speaking of Guana - I drew opening day down there for early teal (Sept 21) - if anyone was interested in traveling, I wouldn't mind having someone from up here as a guest on my draw down there. I would provide draw permit and a seat in my boat, you would have to deal with travel and FL license(s).

    Same flyway dont mean that much. Vegetation/ food is the limiting factor. SC has done a fine job of killing every SAV in damn near every body of water. You will see soon enough.

    Man that's concerning to hear y'all talk about that, over the last couple years FL has been spraying in some of the largest old wetlands and the change in how the bottom feels when you're out there has been pretty noticeable. Was talking to one of the contractors out there sprayign and its basically roundup they are flooding the marsh with. Can't imagine the effect on the ecosystem over time.

    Probably going to kill half as many ducks in SC compared to North FL. Lemme know in February if I was right.

    That might be almost none if that's true over last year. I only did like 2 WMA hunts with my brother in law last year, otherwise stayed out of the sh*t shows and sat in the local marshes near my house. Only killed a couple here and there on those hunts, but way more relaxing. Nice to take my daughters out there and not feel like they need a flak jacket and helmet. That's a big reason I'm looking for some local assistance, I want my kids to have the opportunity to enjoy hunting, fishing and the social aspect that came with it when I was a kid... for the love of God I sound like a sappy old man now.. thanks guys

    The Santee Cooper lake system (consists of Lakes Marion and Moultrie) had an outbreak of hydrilla in the 90's. The owning electric cooperative Santee Cooper declared war against it leaving the lakes to be a barren wasteland of nothingness devoid of any beneficial vegetation to fish and ducks. And now they're pretty much broke and left for dead because of disastrous attempt at building a nuclear reactor in the upstate. Karma's a bitch. Just ask Earl.

    Do some googling on that V.C. Summer nuclear reactor story. It's a doozie!
