Thanks Bill.......how are you using the ATF fluid.....spray bottle? ......what is your start up proceedure come spring. Do you need to remove the ATF before restart. Are you pulling the carb each winter?

If I pull my fuel filter next spring and refill it with a 50/50 fuel to seafoam gas treatment before reinstalling it, would there be any deleterious effects on my motor? I see these carb cleaner sprays, but they are only going to clean the bowl and air baffles then fall into the engine. The fuel inlets would not get touched with a spray right? My thought is by placing the gas treatment in the fuel filter it will get where it needs to go. WHAT SAY YOU MOTOR HEADS?

Sounds good RR.

Steph, you have your toys too.....here is a shot with your strap-on in action

Looking for two working Cannon Mag 10's. Just need motors, so if you want to keep other parts as spares.....thats fine.

I heard the weight was 29.999999

Welcome Dale. Glad to hear the boat will see water again. You should consider attending the LOTSA seminars in February and meet some of the guys.

Since there is no fin to whip the flasher around, was not sure if there is enough of a trigger to work as well as other flashers.

Fuel issues, fuel filter issues, carb issues, fuel pump issues. Could be any of the above. Start with the easy fixes first......ie change fuel filter (dump out gas in glass jar and check for water), gas treatment such as stabil or seafoam. If you still have problems.....start thinking carb or fuel pump and a good marine mechanic.

Anyone try these yet? Underwater video of the jointed nils masters look REALLY interesting! http://www.vk-products.fi/index.php?opt ... 77〈=en

I would love to get a hold of some 15-20 lb pancake weights that you guys supposedly have, but I cannot find any west coast tackle stores that carry them online.

That is a hoss!!! Great deer, now put some friekin' orange on before someone with poor eyesight puts a slug in ya'.

Billy, do you know if the rod holders on the unit are metal or plastic?

I am amazed breeding takes place at all. I can't find my pecker in my pants when its cold out let alone achieve full attention!

Cabelas has the black edge SDocs.

If you want to spend the money.....Tar Hunt bolt actions are the cat's azz. They will not beat the UltraSlug gun at the range however. www.tar-hunt.com/

Wow, I just relooked at your target postings. Almost as if your scope was loose. Wonder if there is a difference with their 20 gauge vs 12? I guess that is why you should try different brands to find the one that your gun shoots best. Have always had good luck with the federal/barnes as well.

100 gr thunderheads. Super sharp blades, easy to find in stores, shoot good. Tried those montecs, and they fishtailed off my bow....gave them away.

Jeremy, if you are still experimenting with ammo... try the Horandy SST's. I have a ultra-slug single shot in 12 gauge with the bull barrell -magnaported and it absolutely drives tacks even with a cheapo scope.

Happy 60th Jerry

In my mind it is not the phase of moon, it is the amount of light at night (cloudy night skies during even a full moon could make for a good morning hunt). Full moon- no clouds means bucks chasing all night.....so they sleep in until around 10:00 am get up and run their rublines and bed back down around 12:00 (sound like Kings ey' Vince?) You get a push again 1/2 hour before dark. If you can find those DEEP woods spots with food, the bucks will be bedded close by watching the does.

Different deer species cannot create viable offspring. A russian deer species could not breed with whitetails. It is as Chowder says... the recessive gene buried in the DNA of all whitetails is being accentuated because they are being unnaturally protected by a fence and locals. We see in WNY white deer along the I-90 because they stay safe in suburban back yards. The reason you see so many black squirrels in the city is natural selection is gone. The normal gray hair on a gray squirrel camoflages itself on the predominant gray maple bark (most common tree in NY) and therefore is less likely to be seen and eaten by hawks. Since hawks are not really present in Cities, the black fur gene can be expressed without predators weeding them out. White deer are an easy mark (except in winter) for coyotes and hunters. Protecting white deer will actually hurt the herd so Brian kill some white deer tommorow!!!!! Ok, my Cliff Claven moment is over now.

Tank, if you are not seeing deer assume something is wrong. Usually there is a good explanation like local changes in food source. Take a walk and cover the whole area you are hunting. Many times deer will key on acorns deeper in the woods. A good tip off is if you are not seeing squirrels in your area. Deer, turkeys and squirrels will change their temporary core area based on food. Maybe your neighbor has put up food plots? Go bump some does and see what they were feeding on. Week two, start adapting stealth tactics. I will use drainages to come and go to my stand as to remain unseen and unheard Go in at dark and come out at dark which means bringing blankets, food and water to stay all day. Later in the season clearcuts with those nasty brambles (browse) keep hunters away and bucks secure. Don't take offence to my rant, just some suggestions that have helped me.

Nice Pics Mike. You running worm harnesses now???

That first photo says it all. The coyote is chasing a deer. When Bios say they don't really hunt adult deer, I say bullshat! Spend some time tracking them in snow during the offseason and you will see they are not mousing in the fields, they are in the hardwoods chasing deer.
