Boat trash

In episode 347 you missed one of the longest cases of boat trash. Check out the 100+ foot tug abandoned in Baileys Harbor Wisconsin. It’s been there for over three years and no one knows how it’s going to be removed.

Been listening for years, had to finally unsubscribe, Cal is a Wolfe in sheep’s clothing. Posing as a representative of us hunters, but really a sneaky spokesperson of the deep state democrats. Don’t be a sucker, wasted my time for a long time. Get out while you can. He doesn’t have your interests in mind.
