It is crazy how many deer you could shoot. I have only filled my bow buck tag so far. I could still shoot a buck and 5 doe with tags that I have, not including tags that could be signed over.
I am sure the temperatures have not helped with your deer sightings. Looks like a lot of rain tomorrow. I might wait until Sunday when it’s cooler and hopefully a little less rain. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
I am nervous that a bunch of dead deer might be discovered this weekend when more people are in the woods. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
It is hard to pass up the urge to take an easy doe or two with a gun in September. Depending on where you hunt you can be tactful about it by not getting into your core area and blowing things up. Still undecided myself. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
Good topic. I think a lot of fish gets wasted. I can’t see people actually eating a full rack of trout/salmon. It is good for advertising and that’s about it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
That is some beautiful looking dirt. I just ordered a Browning cell cam to try it. I have had decent luck with Moultrie mobile but my browning cams have always had better picture quality and battery life. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

This has some info on the proposed Cormorant program on Oneida Lake and the Eastern Lake Ontario Basin.
I would suggest contacting Jim Farquhar, he is a wealth of knowledge on this subject.

That is a great video.
I have been going through this process recently on my own land with a local forester. It is marked and the contractor is lined up.
My land is made up of a lot of hemlock and white pine with some cherry, oak, and maple mixed in. The purpose of my cut is to thin out the hemlock and pine to open it up for the other trees to grow.
I am curious to see how much this helps the more valuable trees over the next 20 years or so.
I got this one opening week. And this Jake this past weekend. The jake is noticeably more tender. I took Kevin’s advise and skinned them out and took the neck, back, and wings. I cook them in the instapot with veggies and it is excellent. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
I have some Farm To Feet Damascus socks that I have worn a ton in the woods, on the ice, and to work. They are nice. I have a couple pairs of First Lite socks that have a lot of miles too. They are probably the best I have found. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
I have a 90 on my 1775 Impact. It tops out at 40 MPH. I can't get it to troll below 2.5 unless I am running riggers or big boards that slow me down some. When I troll lead or inlines for eyes I run a small trolling bag on each side.
If you want to troll a lot I would go with a kicker. Otherwise I think you will need to do something additional (prop, trolling bag, trolling plate) to get down to 1.8 - 2.0.
And like Chow mentioned, LUND does pop up on plane better than any boat I have been in.
If you are not in a huge hurry I would try to take a ride in each boat that you are interested in if possible.
