What would Rob do with all the free time?

It was a great season. Congrats to everyone that scored! Thank you Rob for starting this thread! This thread is the best thread on LOU year in and year out. And a huge thanks Keith for letting my son and I hunt with you all season!

No. In 2017, when people started demanding they let out more water, their response was we are following the 2014 plan. I wish I saved the LORA newsletters that my wife's boss sends out. He is the head of Lake Ontario Repairian Alliance. Also if that was the case, they would have not cut back flows this fall. They could have left the flows higher to get the lake down but they cut back. Once it got cold enough for ice, they could have ramped down to manage the ice.

Did you have a doe tag in the next DMU? Holy sh*t. That’s one hell of a shot! Congrats! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Tuesday night I see one going down!

If it wasn’t affecting shipping, how come they didn’t keep the flows higher in September and October? There was zero flooding in Montreal!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Did you send that photo to Marlo? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

You too Billy! Last sit of the season for me! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Had two coyotes push 11 deer to me yesterday. First time in my life I liked a coyote! If I could have gotten a good shot at either coyote, I would have taken a coyote over another deer! The one was blonde and the other was the normal gray color. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The flows were way higher in July and August. They cut back in September and October. Should have been safe in September and October. What is the reasoning for cutting back then? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Fun sit with my son this evening. Three doe and a nice 8 point. Our streak has ended. Three seasons in a row I shot a deer with him with me. Four tries this year and zero harvested. We saw deer every time out and made some awesome memories! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

They should have kept the flows higher in September and October when there was no ice. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Coyotes helped me out this morning. Doe down. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Very nice Joe! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Third deer in three years that was crippled from this same property. Last year it was a button with a destroyed leg and the year before a doe that had a backward leg from a car accident. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Shot a half racked buck this morning. He was chasing doe with a bad limp. Looks like he was shot in the hind quarters last night or yesterday morning. Would have been a small 8 if he had both sides. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Knock one down Bill! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Read the syllabus. It is good if you don’t fill it during the regular season. You do have to have bow or muzzleloader privilege to hunt. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Good time to be in the woods. Less guys and second rut!

The DEC boosted my sales by cutting king stocking! I'm just asking for them to bring the stocking back to Monroe County. With king stocking cuts, the lakers are going to save the day for most charter captains and rec guys. Over the past couple of seasons, the numbers seem down from what they were 3 or so years ago. With the pressure off of them the past three seasons, they should be loaded up good. I used to be able to leave port on any given day all season, hit 120' and troll East and never run out of fish. Now I have to put more time in searching for concentrations of lakers.

You're dead to me Billy!

Congrats Dan!!!
