have, over the course of 42 duck seasons, occasionally shot a bull sprig pintail. I mean a nice one....if there were such a thing a Boone and Crockett pintail...one for the record books. Shooting pintails ain't all that unusual, depending of course on location, but every so often I have shot a really nice one and when the dog brought it back to the blind the damned thing had transitioned into a red headed merganser

---

I have seen it. My brother many years ago when he was just getting old enough to hunt in a pirogue by himself. We heard him shoot and then he proceeded to holler at me and my older cuz to not shoot anymore pintails. I told my cousin I didn’t even see any pintails fly over but whatever cool deal.
When the hunt is over he paddles up to us a proceeds to show us his “pintails “ that had somehow transformed into spoonbills!!!
Craziest thing that’s ever happened, we continue to remind him of it 30# years later!!

What is the best way to do them?

---

Rinse them till water is clear enough to drink.
Add a bag of powder seasoning you like and (celery onions,garlic,bell pepper lemons ) , and bring to a boil drop crawfish and boil till they float to the top and kill the fire.
Taste them after soaking for 20mins and add liquid crab boil and salt if needed taste again after 30mins.

Race I’m training for is in July so trying to train mid day hottest part of the day.

who's to say it requires the SO part? If there's a pipeline just add some shipping pumps and export compressors, and tie it in to the pipeline. I suspect this is a bad business model, as no one is doing it.

---

But you’re still talking about maintaining and operating a vessel versus conventional platform. Coupled with cost of a pipeline it’s not financially feasible.
With the capability of subsea pumps increasing distance of tie backs to 30 miles now versus 15 a few years ago.
GOM has enough platforms that we won’t see many more new platforms.

run 3-4 5k runs a week, plus a lot of additional walking and short runs. I'm able to run almost a full mile before I have to slow down and walk to lower my bpm. My pace is down to 12:48

Congrats on getting out there and doing it. I started with a 5k 2yrs ago and have now completed two marathons and a 50k and a portion of a 50 miler.
Don’t worry about the run walking and if you haven’t heard of it google Jeff Galloway method. You may be able to run walking just as fast or faster using it and if nothing else your recovery will be faster after the race.

For elk season 2046, decided a few years ago only thing that was gonna keep me from truly enjoying life was my health.
Just turned 50 this year, ran a marathon and 32 miles of a 50miler. Plan to complete a 50 in July. I tell friends you don’t have to run marathons to elk hunt but if you run marathons you can hunt elk.

renew mine so I can carry in reciprocal states that do not have constitutional carry.

I didn’t renew mine a couple of years ago based on the map showing constitutional carry is almost a map of the only states I visit lol.

Not sure if they were the best but I had a pair of lacrosse tallgrass square toes that I got probably 5-7yrs out of. Wore them probably 30-50days a year before the soles came unglued. I reglued them a couple times but finally retired them.
I wore my lacrosse rubber boots yesterday morning and just knowing I didn’t have my snake boots on had me thinking about it not nervous but just in my mind.
I looked at twisted x yesterday but the sole is glued on just like lacrosse. I saw tecova has a new snake boot I may try to check them out or just get a pair of Chippewa.
Go with a pair of boot instead of gaiters just because of comfort and ease of wearing them.

Have had several over the years.
Sunk an airboat on the edge of the gulf doing seismic work and spent 9hrs hanging on and swimming until picked up right before dark. It was long and drawn out so not really scared at first but then as it drug along reality of darkness setting in and what my odds of making it out of that started to really hit.
Several years later while bringing up a portion of a plant that was down for maintenance. A valve on a propane exchanger that someone had left cracked open with a plug partially tightened blew out. We were instantly standing in a waist deep cloud of fog as we radioed the control room to ESD and activate the deluge system. I ran into the cloud to close the valve as we watched the deluge rain down hoping nothing sparked.
That’s probably the most intense fear I have ever had.
