As we all know life as we know it is under attack. The deadly coronavirus is widespread.
We Will Survive!

As bad as the situation seem a look back at human history all but proves we will survive.
1334 witnessed the Great Plague know as 'Black Death.'
This plague was so brutal and unrelenting that it would go on to wipe out up to 60% of all of Europe.
We survived!
In more modern times, during our 'old-west' period,  Cholera killed thousands:

We survived!
In 1894 the so called 'Modern Plague' lasted 20 years and killed around ten million people.

We survived!
Today we have coronavirus:

Hopefully that cure will be found quickly so we can start living again, so we can, 'Get back in the field and on the water.

Thanks for sharing another great and uplifting post with us.    We must remain positive, we will get through this. You stay safe.   

It was a pleasure to see "JERSEY GIRL" Tammy in there also.

Great take on the situation. A couple positives that will come from these restrictions is less pressure on the fish and it will give a bit more recovery to fish stocks. As will your hogs. Then once we've overcome, the fish will have forgotten our tricks and we will have epic days of catching. Charge your camera batteries my friend and use part your stimulus to get a few memory cards because you're going to be pretty busy recording those epic trips. You might even need to wear one of those finger guards on your shutter finger. Lol. Stay safe our southern friend
