  1. I have a 2004 Johnson 4 stroke kicker motor, starting to show some fouling on the plugs as if it's choked. Runs good but want to check it out over the winter. What kind of range should I be looking for on compression. I figure I'll start there as its pretty easy to check

    thanks Scott

    I’d say that buck is not dead

    I would agree to still alive, there is a small window a little back and high where you can right through and not hit anything to put him down. 

    This morning deer search WNY had 20 calls, me and my Reddog are dead tired. If you don't see him drop wait a minimum 2 hours, try to only track with no more than 2 people, as said mark the trial 5' off the ground. Gut shot come back tomorrow and you will find him pretty quick, dead.

    Good luck and I hope I don't hear from you, just kidding were here to help

  3. Deer Search is always open for new members. Your kids can become licensed trackers with the DEC. Any dog can do a good job if you train it. I have some kind of mixed breed that is in her 8th year and Reddog loves it. Both of our chapters have training sessions and I would be happy to teach someone as well. As all you dog owners know its just repetition when it comes to training. 

    Check out both web sites and come along on a track and your kids will want to get in on the action.

    The down side is it takes away from my hunting time, but the smile on young hunters face when you recover that doe is well worth the trade off to me.

    Will the finger lakes chapter go to Newfield NY ( 20 minutes south of Ithaca ) ? I don’t need one now but it’s good to have someone if need be .......

    Mike,

    That's a ways but it all depends on who's available. I have driven over an hour to reach a hunter. 

    Stay off the trail, mark the trail and when you call in state that you have done this. We get a lot of calls and the screening of the calls is the first step to getting a call back and a dog out to help.

  5. I found another tip that’s useful as well, not to trash a spot by having numerous people come help try finding blood and trashing an area by walking all over cause they can step on the smallest of blood or scent, if you lose the blood trail mark it and back out then make the call to deer search. 
    Yes, that confuses the dog

    One tip that is extremely helpful to us trackers is marking the trail. I tell hunters to use tissue paper every 20' or so up high not on the ground. Then you can use this to look back and see (somewhat) the direction the deer is headed. Best of all is it helps us even more, because more than once I have gone on a track and hunters cant show me the hit site, let alone the trail it took. 

     

    Good luck and I hope I don't hear from you. :)

  7. Anyone ever use spray on bed liner stuff, I have an aluminum floor and considering this, up the gunnels, and all. I did a roll on by Grizzly in a open air Jeep that is holding up great so I think it would be fine in the boat too.
