For whatever reason the GF picked this one tonight. This used to be on TNT/TBS weekly back in the day.
Opening credits, not what I remembered.

re: Dog just got skunked.

The mixture should be reapplied several times. Without getting to much into the chemistry, the mixture doesn't mask the smell, it changes the structure of the mercaptins (stink compounds) so that they can be encapsulated by the soap and washed away. However, striped skunks have 2 additional compounds within their spray that are not activated until they interact with water.
So if you wash with the mixture once or twice and then wash it off with water, you have now reactivated the smell.

re: How far to relocate raccoon?
Posted by consumptive_use on 6/6/23 at 7:55 am to LanierSpots
Check your state laws. Most states prohibit or regulate the release of raccoons.
You can also check to see if you have a county or municipal agency that will come pick it up and euthanize it.

re: 1st trip Toledo Bend advice
Posted by consumptive_use on 5/31/23 at 11:13 pm to Whatafrekinchessiebr
Be careful of falling into the trap of trying to do too much in 1 trip. You have listed at the minimum, bass fishing, white perch fishing, running noodles, kayaking, potentially bank/dock fishing, and relaxing.
I fell into this trap the first several times I planned the weekend up there. TB is a wonderful place to fish, relax, and spend a few days. But be warned, it is easy to get on fish up there (target species or otherwise) and run yourself out of a relaxing weekend chasing them; it's also damn easy to get skunked and spend all weekend chasing them.
Also, you should consider the "difficulty" of fishing white perch on Toledo Bend in June on your first trip.

First, find out if you have "gophers", "moles", or "voles".
Two of the 3 are subsurface (gophers, moles). Two of the 3 are rodents (gophers and voles).
Most likely you have pocket gophers, but additional information is needed.
Describe how they are destroying the backyard. Dirt mounds; runways; chewing bark on trees.
Use the above to identify the "species". Each species requires specific methodology.
Ask the OB for species specific remedies.

re: Swallow Tailed Kite
Posted by consumptive_use on 7/30/22 at 8:51 am to consumptive_use
The process we used to catch them is pretty cool as well. Great horned owls are kite nest predators. The kites react very aggressively when one is around.
You either find a nest or find an open feeding location, such as a pond/dragonflies, near a nest. Put up a 20 ft high net and tether an ambassador owl in front of it. The kites come in, dive bomb the owl, and get caught in the net.
When I did it, the kites were coming in as soon as the owl came out of the kennel - while we were still holding it and standing around. Once we tethered the owl and got into the blind, it took about 90 seconds to get one in the net.

ARCI Blog
I was working in sw Florida a few years ago and got to see and learn plenty about STKIs. Even got to catch a couple with ARCI.
They are gearing up to migrate to their wintering grounds (Brazil) right now. The Eastern birds move en mass to South Carolina in July to feed heavily on a local food source - I don't remember what it is. Then, late July, they travel enmass through sw Florida, across the gulf to western Cuba, eventually making it to the tip of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico.
The western birds, coastal TX and La, either fly straight across or follow the coast.
They eat large flying insects, dragon flies, and canopy dwelling herps - tree frogs and anoles. They also eat on the wing. If you see one hunting then flying in circles, grab your binocs and you can probably watch them feed.

Pics aren't great but it is probably a shrew and likely a Blarina brevicauda. Pocket gophers and moles have specialized front limbs and feet for digging. This critter doesn't. The fur and elongated rostrum look like a shrew. It is robust like a Blarina and has a short single colored tail.

They were pretty jacked in the booth. I didn't notice during the game, but Chris and Hunt put the rally caps on during the middle of the 9th.

re: What movies did you rent as a child?
Posted by consumptive_use on 3/15/21 at 1:28 am to nateslu1
Growing up, we didn't rent many movies. The first VHS I rented on my own account was The Replacements. I think the last Blockbuster VHS I rented was Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The last verified new release I can remember was Super Troopers. Looks like I was never a part of the rental market.
re: Anyone ever smallmouth fish in Arkansas?
Posted by consumptive_use on 3/1/21 at 3:00 pm to TDTOM
I've floated the Ouachita from Pencil Bluff to Camp Ozark many times. Plenty of good Smallmouth in that stretch. If you are going in the summer the river will be low and you will likely have to drag across some places but the fish may be more congregated.
re: Cajun dishes to cook for someone that can’t have seafood?
Posted by consumptive_use on 2/21/21 at 7:44 pm to mouton
My go to in this situation is a prairie cajun style pork gravy. It can be hard to source good smoked sausage or pork tasso outside of south Lousiana, but I feel this dish is by far the most forgiving if you have to use local or grocery store sausage as a stand in. While it can be augmented, the basic recipe calls for lots of onion and garlic, bellpepper,the main protein, and smoked sausage and/or tasso. This recipe calls for the onions to be cooked down to nothing and there be a higher meat to liquid ratio. See also: onion gravy, grease gravy, Evangeline gravy, black gravy, black pot gravy.
re: Anybody ever stuffed boudin cold? *Updated with finished product
Posted by consumptive_use on 1/18/21 at 7:53 pm to LSUballs
I have, but my recipe does result in all the cooking liquid being put back into the meat/rice/veggie mixture.
It is noticeably different than stuffing while warm, but not enough that I would heat everything back up just to stuff it.
