    lots of perfume has deer musk added. Never understood why as if you go up to a girl in a bar and sniff her you probably are going to get slapped.

    Ah Jerry....looking at the deer's eyes I think he is still alive....you better put another one in him!!

    I would add that if you use the mag-sized dipsys w/out a ring your divers will stay closer to the boat with a steeper dive curve and therefore stay away from your coppers. Send the coppers out as far as you can also. When you deploy the copper over a diver....let it out SLOWLY out the back and then let it ride awhile before attaching to a board and moving it out ( what Gambler said).

    Hell, stay home and commute from Oneida to Mexico Bay for early season shoreline trolling for browns. His 19' boat is perfect size for this type of fishing and you don't need to buy a lot of extra gear.

    Wow the coat on that coyote is beautiful...almost like a wolf. How big of a dog? Congrats on the deer too.

    Nice!

    You can marinade the breasts, but the most important thing is DO NOT OVERCOOK ducks or geese in an oven as it will taste like liver. Leave some red in there and it will be more like roast beef. You can slow cook-em in a crock pot with a sauce too.

    I think your dad hit the reset button with his watch and the fish was a 12lb coho ......this fish from this fish story keeps getting bigger and bigger LOL.

    As a dog owner who also has had more than one hunt ruined by dog chasing I would say don't shoot the dog. I would be PISSED if someone shot my dog. It will only lead to worse problems. Confront the owner in person. If that don't work get video footage and go to the authorities with proof.

    Sounds like you need to fix that sausage party ratio.

    Agreed....I have seen a ton of small bucks so I decided a cull was in order. 6 point and doe tags filled sat by 9 am. Fourth small buck I had seen that morning. Had to be at kids soccer game by 3. Gut two deer, drag them both out by myself, and hit the road peeling rubber to get to game on time. Sat next to a well made-up soccer mom while I smelled like a gut pile.

    I don't know if everyone is noticing the huge crop of button bucks in the woods this year? I would say I am seeing 4 buttons for every female yearling. I have noticed the trend in all areas I have hunted. This may have ramifications on doe harvest and culling inferior bucks in the next few years as the buck to doe ratio may swing hard the other way. I also noticed every doe has two yearlings which has been counter to years past. I used to attribute single fawns to a large degree to coyote predation. I gal I know who runs the western NY wildlife rehabilitation center says fawn mortality is more about the diseases they pick up. Every year is a different bug. This spring it was a coccidiosis outbreak. My dog contracted this as well. Anyway, what is everyone seeing out there?

    Ah.......didn't look like that operation was "least complicated" lol.

    Well done!!

    May explain the "shark-like" teeth marks on fish that started the whole shark/seal/monster swimming around there discussion lol. http://www.esf.edu/communications/view.asp?newsID=2262

    Good guess on score. To be sure I am going to need a better look at the deer. If you tell me where I could find him I could give you true accurate measurements via tape measure.

    Friday night most of the bucks must have been out as soon as the wind died because there were scrapes EVERYWHERE without a leaf on them. Their hangover kept them from moving in the rain until 2 pm. Does moving am/evening. Saturday saw 14 deer with one chase scene with a four point. Shaved the back of a doe at 35 yards. Amazing animals..I shoot one pin which allows my arrow to be 8" low at 30 yards. With the drop of the deer I figure 8" is perfect so I hold dead on out to 30 yards and don't shoot any further. This doe must have dropped two feet! Enjoy the hair cut.....it will grow back. I would add I am seeing Beech and Hickory nuts dropping. In years past if I am not seeing big bucks they usually are hanging way back deep in the woods eating nuts. Been watching deer walk thru food plots only to start eating beech nuts on the other side. This time of year it is all about protein.

    Thanks for the update. Went out yesterday with Tinkerbelle and got three nice points and non-flushes from pheasant carcasses that a fox or yote ate on state land. My dog was very confused lol. Wish the Dakotas was closer.

    Quick connect goes to fly leader so you can change flies quickly.

    Great story that defies logic. Question...are the blades on the broadhead you used new or had they been run thru a target before?
  21. Gill-T
    After the next two heavy blow days I got to believe the weather keeping the bucks hunkered down will have them up and horny as hell come saturday.

    Giant can of worms with no ability to police what information is coming in on a phone. Observers should not have to monitor conversations. GPS coordinates can be texted. "I will be home after weigh-in honey" could mean I am trolling out front lol.

    To answer your question Brian.....I would not care if other teams went across the border without proper licenses and documentation because it is the captain's duty to make sure all his/her ducks were in line. If that captain was stupid enough to not be legal then he/she can suffer the possible consequences at the hands of the Canadian authorities (cavity searches?).....and not make weigh-in. This is really an issue with the Niagara Pro/Am and the KOTL tournaments, so why all other south shore tournaments would need GPS coordinates defies logic. Weigh-ins would go quicker with less volunteers needed without the GPS numbers as well.
  24. Gill-T
    When you hear about those cases where an observer screwed up writing down the GPS coordinates, the captain did not confirm the observer recorded them correctly.....with everything involved with entering and running a team, money invested etc. etc. seems really silly to have the days catch disqualified over GPS coordinates. So ask the question.....does it matter? You can't fly to the Kenai and back in the time it for weigh-in so of course the fish are caught in Lake Ontario. Volunteers and tournament officials are often also participants and they are privy to these day 1 results. Just make the process simpler and above board....do away with GPS coordinate requirements.
