Good topic. I think a lot of fish gets wasted. I can’t see people actually eating a full rack of trout/salmon. It is good for advertising and that’s about it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

That is some beautiful looking dirt. I just ordered a Browning cell cam to try it. I have had decent luck with Moultrie mobile but my browning cams have always had better picture quality and battery life. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Nice catch. Don’t forget to grab the “wings” too. There is a cheek sized chunk of meat there too. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

http://www.oneidalakeassociation.org/ Click on "To see DEC's update on the 2021 cormorant program, click here" This has some info on the proposed Cormorant program on Oneida Lake and the Eastern Lake Ontario Basin. I would suggest contacting Jim Farquhar, he is a wealth of knowledge on this subject. Jim Farquhar NYSDEC, Albany, NY [email protected]

That’s a great ending. Congrats! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I got this one opening week. And this Jake this past weekend. The jake is noticeably more tender. I took Kevin’s advise and skinned them out and took the neck, back, and wings. I cook them in the instapot with veggies and it is excellent. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Last year’s dry June and summer really helped with survival. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I have a 90 on my 1775 Impact. It tops out at 40 MPH. I can't get it to troll below 2.5 unless I am running riggers or big boards that slow me down some. When I troll lead or inlines for eyes I run a small trolling bag on each side. If you want to troll a lot I would go with a kicker. Otherwise I think you will need to do something additional (prop, trolling bag, trolling plate) to get down to 1.8 - 2.0. And like Chow mentioned, LUND does pop up on plane better than any boat I have been in. If you are not in a huge hurry I would try to take a ride in each boat that you are interested in if possible.

I have a LUND Impact 1775 all vinyl. It has been a great boat for me. I use it on Ontario and Oneida.

Yes you can launch. There was one usable dock in last week. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I live in the northern zone. I get deer in my backyard occasionally. I had 2 doe and a fawn go through early this morning. The one doe was flicking her tail a lot. She went up to an overhanging branch and rubbed her face on it. 10 minutes later I had 3 bucks go through end to end! The biggest of the 3 checked that branch. It looked like full rut here the way those bucks were cruising. 2 years ago I had some video on one of my trail cams with 2 bucks chasing a doe this same week. Update - make that 4 bucks. Just had an 8 point go through with one side dropped.

Maybe Legacy will chime in here. Maybe it was someone else but I remember seeing a pic of a shockwave that looked just like yours Kevin, maybe even more intact. I started using Barnes after I saw that. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

It always cracks me up how nobody ever comments on what a great job the DEC is doing. This state is very diverse. I hunt 3 different areas of the state. Otsego, Oswego (NZ), and Ontario counties. In Otsego and Ontario I saw the same amount of deer I usually see. On my own land in Oswego County I saw way less deer. 2 properties within a mile of me were logged heavily and that is where a lot of the deer were. Find the food and you will find the deer. Each of us only sees a tiny piece of the state and we never get a good look at the big picture. From my perspective where I hunt there are plenty of deer and the age structure is slowly getting better in all 3 areas. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Awesome. I am already planning on taking my 8 year old for squirrels next week with my old Remington .22 open sites. It is a great way to start working on woodsmanship. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
