  1. +1 I'd like to add that he is an ex-marine phantom fighter pilot (Vietnam). In order to get his prices you will have to register with "the hull truth".
  2. Exactly who is the "bastard"? The animal killing to survive or the hunter killing for entertainment? I do not believe that either is a bastard.
  3. The answer is in Gander Mountain. They sell bags of "Deer Corn". They would not do that if it were illegal. Your local feed store probably sells "Also Deer Corn" for about half the price.
  4. Probably 2 out of those 3 end up in the back of a pickup and are turned into dogfood or sloppy joe,depending on the condition the carcass is in
  5. I have no doubt that there is a problem, be it deer or human over population. And yes,we must try to solve it. My whacky comment was mostly a reaction to all the other rash opinions in this thread. Blame it on cabin fever.
  6. Bass fishing is for bass kissers.
  7. I wish someone could do that to me !Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  8. Tom from Atommik had a bunch of keels made one or two years ago,Give him a call or PM him.
  9. You cannot get the half weights in stores. You have to order them direct from Big Jon. Remember,the double keels with full weights will sink if the towing pressure is off or the tow line breaks. Another thing that is advisable is writing your address or phone number on the boards. They sometimes break off, but I know of at least one occasion that other fisherman pick them up, contact the owner and return them.
  10. Here is one example of a changed board.
  11. I have seen some pictures of otter boards with home made 4x12 strips of metal screwed on to the keel horizentally just above the weight.It adds very little weight ,but an immense amout of water resistance. Mine have an extra keel with a half weight that does the same ,but the boards will not sink.
  12. It is my progressive liberal left wing opinion that venison tastes sort of dry and gamy. I prefer mine mixed in with pork. Maybe if we protect the coyotes,they will take care of the deer problem and when the deer are down to pre human hunting population the coyote will starve and stop reproducing. Next thing you know is a balanced deer/coyote relationship. But, you will no longer see nice young lady students skinny dipping on the lake beach because they are afraid of coyotes, so maybe we should trap and sterilize the coyotes. Come to think of it, I would hate to see good pot eaten by deer or any other ruminant for that matter. I can see it now. Our local organic dairy will from now on sell strictly organic happy milk products that make you feel good. Well maybe it did happen already in the greater Ithica area. I mean the pioneers who settled the area were sadly misguided or just plain lost. They thought they were in Greece or Italy and gave their settlements names like Venice,Naples ,Scipio Center.The ones that started Syracuse were really lost. I mean they tought that the dutch were still ruling the area and made orange their favorite color! It must be that those wicked Dutchmen did not want them in Batavia. Well there were some god honest red necks who named their place Horse Heads but they too must have smoked something funny in their peace pipes. But seriously, around Cornell and Ithica college it is way smarter to go dear hunting and the best way to do that is by leaving the deer alone
  13. horses are curious trusting animals . maybe they walked up to these hunters and the hunters got scared of these big scary creatures in the dark. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  14. Yesterday I crawled under the tarp and into the boat. A small quartz heater and a lamp came along came along and sitting in the Captain's chair I started rigging up flies.
  15. Thank you for recognizing my ideas as progressive. After all, if not for progress we would still be wearing bear skins and use stone tools.
  16. What happens to a ball when you inflate it to the proper pressure in a nice and warm dressing room and then take it outside into the cold?
  17. Or maybe not, with my radical views,anonimity is a beautiful thing. Besides,I do not want everybody to know that I am this tall good looking giant instead of a pickle rolled up in a herring.
  18. I visited the once yearly Lotsa meet in Niagara Falls this afternoon and had a great time. It was fun to meet some of the people who write comments in the LOU site. The overall atmosphere was friendly and upbeat. It was nice to hear Tom from A-Tom-Mik tell me that our team "Horsin Around" is really good enough to participate in the A-Tom-Mik Invitational,even though he failed to convince me. It's not that we are not good enough,it's just that we are not lucky enough.Or maybe we are just horsin' around. The partitions in the hall made for clearly defined tables. There was so much going on in the Lotsa room that it was not until the end of my stay that I went into the other room to see what there was to see and I almost ended up buying a Hoby fishing kayak with pedals instead of peddles. Then there was the horned owl and his handler. He reminded me of the one winged short toed (snake) eagle who was my pet many years ago All in all, I really enjoyed this year's happening. It better be a very good salmon catching year, I want to have an opportunity to use and loose all the flies that Tom had to offer today. May the kings shred every last one!
  19. Congratulations on a great unit. Use a dedicated power source and ground from the battery and do not use that wire for anything else. The less interference ,the better.
  20. I suspect there might be some combat fishing in the preferred areas
  21. Oh stop whining already. Look at the positive side. The bills defeated the patriots in boston. That means that the bills are very much better than the colts! (whatever that means).
  22. I agree, the Patriots have big balls..
  23. Even the pope,while in the Phillipines, said that people should stop breeding like rabbits.In those very words.
  24. I have 8 Daiwa 57 LCs and for what I do ,they are all I need.With my oversized (4xxl) hands,I sometimes hit the counter and reset to 0 while letting the dipsy diver out. For charter boat needs, the expensive ones usually are the cheapest because they last much longer while in heavy use often in the hands of over excited and under experienced clients. You should see how much fishing you do and going with that knowledge you should set your requirements.
