DARN SKIPPY! :cheers2

Be socially responsible and go enjoy nature. I'll see less folks in the woods than I will at home.

I sure need to go. Gas prices being down is also a bonus

And on page 2 second paragraph of his order it plainly says this is not a mandate, just strongly urges Tennesseans to stay home. IMO means it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on. Attachment 371257

I predict a closing of all boat ramps in the near future. I have been twice since this latest order, and one of the ramps was ridiculous. Young people, 30-40 of them gathering like at a party. I turned around and went to another ramp. The fisher people seem to be doing a good job of social distancing. So do the crappie!

use common sense at all times and if your a bank or dock guy like me mostly it's all good. I am heading to my cabin in a county with 1 very mild case and no deaths and will be walking along rip rap and no one else will be near me if any. then heading to scout turkeys and with NO ONE around and then hit a private strip pit. I think I will be ok and so will the folks on this site. I never touch anything but my gear and the fish I take out on a normal day.
