Bulldog came down yesterday afternoon and taught my son and I how to make some different types of snares. At the end of the day we set out 3 snares on about a half and acre and caught a rabbit and a squirrel. Always wanted to know how to do that correctly.
-------------- Of all the ridiculous things to micromanage. Even for a lunatic megalomaniac.

Sounds like fun. Do that on my property and get 10x the squirrels and 3x the rabbits. Plus a curious dog.
Perhaps not as big a deal, but I recently learned I can catch fish. I know, I know, lure, line, pole... But I did catch a couple that I would eat for fun - a nice adolescent trout and a big Bluegill. I let 'em go, but I would have. I really would have.
-------------- There are only two things I don't like about people: They take too long to cook and taste like crap when they're done.

There's a Zen in fishing if you simply let yourself go into the moment. It's really a great way of spending time in the outdoors if your are trying to compete with somebody else.
And as eyebp suggested, learning to clean and cook 'em proper adds a whole new world of fun to being outdoors.

I'm a pretty good cook and have gutted and deboned fish before. I imagine that the Bluegill has a bunch of pin bones as ribs. Heck, I'd gut it and cook it whole. Save that head, tail and bones for a nice broth. The tail and fins make for a nice chip, crisped over an open fire.
