    Jimski, you are behind by about 10 years. Lake Huron is not news. Lake Ontario is not the same lake nutrient-wise compared to Huron. Also, the mussels have maxed out and are on a slight decline. Lake Ontario has weathered the storm.

    Your neighbor is an idiot.

    You can't count Lakers in a stomach survey of digestibility as they dump everything out of both ends! They need to isolate the chemicals inside of lake trout stomach lining and develop a poison control medication for kids and dogs when they get into things they shouldn't.

    Congrats. How far did he go? Based on your description of how he acted I figured you clipped part of the heart.

    He was able to "stalk (walk up on)" a number of times, as on an island there is nowhere to go, and put the poor bull out of his misery. I can't believe he didn't edit the first shot out.

    It is always windy in the fall. If you don't know the effects of different wind speeds on a bolt then you are not doing the deer you are trying to take any justice. Any form of hunting has its own discipline. A long shot rifle hunter out west takes into account wind,elevation,angle to target, and distance. Shoot your crossbow in the wind! I watched Greg Ritz on his national TV show try to shoot a Caribou on an Aleutian Island in 50 mph winds with a crossbow at 50 yards. The bolt went thru the scrotom of the bull!!

    Tail flicker is a dead deer sign. You will find him. Good luck.

    After looking at the newly redesigned Brownings I bought a 1952 ish Auto 5. Love it. Paid $620 for it so I think your investment of $200 is safe. Do you shoot steel out of it? Still trying to figure out if I want to risk shooting steel out her, as I have heard conflicting information.

    Sounds like as he was heading out in the open to check the does memory kicked in an he remembered it was gun season and came to his senses. Smart creatures. There is a group of does I know of that shack up in an acre of red brush surrounding a house bordering a property I hunt. I have watched the young ones start to come out into the neighboring ag field before dark only to have the older does run out and shoe them back into the brush til after shooting light. I have seen buck stand in cover and stare at my buddies treestands to check if someone is in there. A person in that stand never would have known but if he reached up and scratched his nose the buck would have made him and slinked off without being seen. Deer remember.

    I don't know why not? How many species eat crabs or crayfish?

    I have to start hunting the northern counties! Great buck!

    I am going to leave your wife and kisser buttons out of the conversation!! Lol. I think I couldn't feel the kisser button on my face due to whiskers so I was pushing it against my face harder to feel it better and it was changing my line of sight slightly. No matter as I punched my third bow tag last night on a doe so I think I got it figured out. Mister itchy is coming off soon anyway.....too much gray!!!

    Cohos and steelhead the way the skyrocket to the surface often necessitate a fixed cheater to drive the hook home better.

    As good a buck as any found anywhere in the US! Great buck.

    On Erie we find both gobies and mussels in perch caught there. All species are still settling things out. Gobies, an invasive, have negatively effected sheephead (also an invasive species).

    Anyone have their beard effect kisser button placement and therefore arrow flight? Nothing changed on my bow other than I have grown a hunting beard. Picked up bow to practice today and my arrows are hitting low and left?

    Might be an owl swooping down on a mouse then lifting off.

    The last thing a farmer would want is a miniature horse running around the woods during gun season!

    Omg. 3.5 yrs old and only 150 lbs??? Everyone talks about Iowa and Illinois for deer but if I had my choice it would be Kentucky. Something about Kentucky and Tennessee deer herd having high incidence of non-typical racks.

    Congrats but please put some orange on the kid!

    You can make those yourself. Crush glow tape and use a paper punch on green tape for the dots.

    Today is state-wide deer drive day! Yipee!!! I try to use it to my advantage cause I know its coming. Funny how the drivers peak onto the property to see if they see any orange coats then turn tail.

    I think I got Rick interested in the AFW Braid downrigger cable. It has a elliptical shape like "flea-flicker" line so it does not accumulate fleas too bad, it is a stealthy green color, terminates with a knot, soft on the hands, and does not make that hum that wire produces. There is a video on Capt. John King's site with underwater audio that depicts how loud that wire hum is under water. The hum has an attraction factor when fish are active....no doubt but what about those big boys that have been stung by hooks before? There may be negative feedback to that hum and big fish that are equating the hum with danger. Those underwater feeds of kings screaming in to hit a bait then turn away at the last minute. Negative cues to blame?
