Don't shoot it Ray...looks like a 11 year old DEC faux deer...see the holes in it? [ Post made via Android ]

Troll in front of the major tribs. Everything is there this time of year. Mature spawning pacifics as well as jacks that follow the run. Browns are there as well as steelhead that are following the egg leakers. Troll plugs small spoons like the spring. If you run offshore you need to look for temp breaks that are holding bait and there you might find steelhead or small kings. Fish the depth of the bait that shows up. If no bait showing on the screen fish the upper 20 feet of the water column on a nice sunny day and you might find the steelhead holding near the surface. Planner board or dipsy stuff way out to the side of the boat. Mark [ Post made via Android ]

Sorry for your loss Ray. Dogs are selfless lovers of their masters and always willing to display a devotion to stand behind and sometimes in front of their humans at times of crisis and need....he was a great dog,...because he was Ray's dog. Now the Mrs. will know who did it for sure. Godspeed to your healing Ray and rest in peace Riley. Mark [ Post made via Android ]

Over a century ago overfishing was the problem. What creel limits were in place then. NONE...today we have creel limits by the state and management by the feds and like most things the feds do...its wasted time and money. To bad the idea is great but the bureaucrats can't run it. It would be a great fishery if it were run like Altmar and the pen rearing projects were used to place the juveniles around the lake in tribs that would support their natural recurrence.

Check wave height on lake superior...significant wave height 33 feet possible. Nasty out here right now in Wisconsin. Mark [ Post made via Android ]

I love my Lone Wolf climber. First I have to admit I am a little on the portly side...no jokes.. 6 foot 3 and 310 lbs with navel lint. Add heavy clothing and bow and optical stuff and with sandwich and water bottle...bump a close 330. This stand has carried me up and down most any tree from one that measures 12 inches diameter to bigger than I can reach around. It's advantages are Very quiet, no squeaks while adjusting positions. Very light, back packs easy with its own straps. Supplied Bungee holds the nested halves together quietly as you travel. Can be carried up with tree straps behind head or down or remove them entirely roll them up in a large pocket. The cable reinforced rubber straps are the easiest positive adjust and lock I have used. Never feel unsafe with them..(remember I'm a big guy.) Ambidextrous too locks to the tree from right or left faceing the stand on the ground. Very easy rigging in the dark. No screws or nuts to loose. Size 12 heavy pac boots can still get in the frame for climbing and descending. Has pockets in the platform for holding your bow between your legs, upright and right there for that low movement grab. Also for holding some branch cover in the corners of the platform. Some small detractors are A little hard to get the nesting and binding straps fastened back without a little fumbling with getting the nesting cross straps buckled the same as when it came apart. Probably just me anyway. As someone mentioned earlier about the twist in the tree straps...it does do that on smaller diameter trees because of the angle needed for a good bite. But keeping the tree straps tighter and closer to the platform eliminates most of it. Never made me concerned. Not the most comfortable seat, its a sling but it does move easily out of the way when standing. And its quiet. Your legs will slide it back on the rise from the seated position. One note...look at the base of the tree and see if it is fatter than the section of trunk you think your going to settle at. If it is you will have too adjust the tree straps so the platforms are angled upwards at a Sharp degree so that when you get to your settle point the platforms will level out. It takes practice but is easy to guage after a couple times. I've had this climber for 7 years and has not ever failed in any way, nor have I felt unsafe useing it. The tree straps are very durable and have not shown any wear after spending at least 20 days a year climbing twice a day.. Mark [ Post made via Android ]

Both are good calibers, the 7 having the edge in range, but the 06 having the weight and size advantage in projectile.Comes down to where you are hunting and the terrain for average yardage shots. If it was me John, I would take the one you are most familiar with and use the other for backup in case of some failure of gun or scope. If your shots wiil be over 200 yds, the 7 would be the one..The ought 6 is a great woods round with it's heavier round. Mark [ Post made via Android ]
