  1. Can still hunt dogs and rabbits! Haha
  2. It is a good idea in my opinion. I have seen too many easily avoidable accidents by watercraft operators it is scary. I hope the course also includes proper trailering and launching!
  3. I thought about a foil. My lower unit already had holes where there was a trolling plate
  4. All my gear is store in the cabin of my islander which sits outside and shrinkwrapped
  5. By the time deer season is winding up I am ready for it to b over.,I can't seem to get myself to do anything else other than hunt during the season. Then everything builds up and I have a ton of things to do. My next season is ice fishing and at the same time getting everything ready in my sugar house and sugarbush for the upcoming maple season!
  6. I wish that I could afford the hrs unit but that isn't in the cards. I primarily fish on my home lake the great sacandaga. I only get out to lake o twice a year. But I guess we will see
  7. I have heard good reviews on horn adds system sabots
  8. When soldering do u just use standard lead free solder?
  9. I miss being on the boat period.
  10. yes. I have never lost a deer yet with the combination. and there have been dozens. I will say I shoot the hollow points because I believe that the deer that I have shot in general compared to the aerotips that I have used in the past did not go as far. But, 295gr also packs a wallop
  11. I have an 11' white paddle, got it in the Dreamweaver ProPack..I tried running it last year, it always tangled up..havent used it since
  12. THANKS. For me it seems to be ideal. Is there a big difference between the broadband unit and the HDI other than the inability to do down and side imaging
  13. I really had my heart set on the Lowrance Elite 7 Broadband. I dont need the HDI crap. I know two others that have the Elite 7 and have had 0 issues with them. I navigated one in Bass Pro the other day and really liked how it operated. Of course it was in Demo mode. I cant really figure out what basemap comes with the unit and what upgraded basemaps are available though. Anyone? Attached is a pic of my Current FF..An OLD Eagle Ultra II Plus...
  14. My Optima shoots them like a dream. I prefer the hollow point 295gr. I use 100 grains of Triple 7 out of mine..
  15. yeah I can imagine. You always hear abou blues and greens for the most part. I figure I didnt have any red/purple colors so went with that
  16. I got the Bloody Deather SD for an early Christmas present and Dan Keatings book Keatings on Kings! yeah baby..Now to figure out what fly/flies work well wit hteh Bloody Death and am, mid day or pm?
  17. I have only ever shot one coyote and that was on my property 2 seasons ago. I was still hunting in a hemlock patch that was undulating terrain. Was pretty quiet walking. I was looking for bedded deer. Suddenly, walking along, I noticed something curled up at the base of a big hemlock tree. And whe nI say I noticed, it scared the **** out of me cause I was less than 20' from it. the damn dog was sound asleep. I thought it was dead till I noticed that its chest was moving. I literally three a few sticks near it and it never moved. Its ears didnt even raise. Then I leaned against a tree, cocked my Marlin .35 back and let out a whistle. nothing. then a louder whistle..head comes up, bang...shot him right behind the ear at 20 feet...
  18. Yeah, that is what I have been told to try. I guess I will throw 3 50lbers up there and see how it works.
  19. I have been contemplating on adding weight to the front. Couple of things though. #1. I have my porta john in the front..#2 Ireally dont like the idea of adding 200+ lbs in one location and being there all the time. I fear for what the impact is on the decking..
  20. early velvet stage it broke
  21. Adk1

    New VHF radio

    the one that ERABBIT indicated has built in GPS now.
  22. Most likely knocked out from traumatic shock.
  23. I remove my swivel each time so that I can reel the wire back onto the reel. no big deal to re-tie the swivel
  24. I have an older VHF radio, think it is a Realistic or something like that. It has the really flat push buttons. It works but the buttons stick. Had allot of trouble changing to a particular channel. Not something I want to screw around with. I ahve the 8' antenna so that is good. I would like to replace the VHF this coming year. I dont know much about them. I know that there is one that sends out your location or something? I dont have any electronics that I would tie it to and most likely wont. Just looking for a decent VHF under $200. Recomendations would be appreciated. Thanks
  25. Looking into booking a site at the park for a week. Thinking end of July. Can anyone recommend a decent site there as I have never been. We have a 24' RV and my 221 Islander. Would like a site with a Power hookup for sure.
