  1. Lakeview motel is right on 18 between the river launch and Wilson launch and they are fishermen friendly with ample boat parking. Easy drive to river, Wilson, or olcott. May is usually great for the bar. Above posts are spot on for starting points....but always keep an open mind and look for current reports when u go. Bait shops...creek road bait and tackle near river. Olcott has boat doctors. Not sure if slippery sinker is open. Asb tackle in newfane. Food. Wilson...down on main street for breakfast/lunch. T and r convenience store for reasonable pizza/ hogies. Matty's for better hogies...ribs...wings. Wilson house for sit down/drinks. Also a grocery store and dollar store in wilson.

    Three years of no hunting on my property has finally produced a few nice age class bucks. I'm lucky because of a generous friend who moved to Montana and he has let me take care of his property for him ( hunt it).. making it easy to leave mine alone. 

    15 years of improving it's carrying capacity and leaving a sanctuary area has paid off. I'm sure I know his age, any guesses, and what y'all think he'll gross? 

    BTW this is not an agricultural area, no alfalfa fields or corn within three miles. 

    Two properties away is a large tract of state land. I do fear he could get killed in the oaks there, but if someone does get him there great for the guy or girl that does!

    Very nice buck!  Tough to gauge off night pics but I'd give it 140-150ish and 6 yr old?

  3. I hope it applies to sailboats as well. I had to blast my air horn at one 2 weeks ago. He was on a course to t bone my boat...we were doubled up fighting fish. When I yelled at him to keep off my stern
    ..we had fish on back there....his only response was...I'm in a sailboat. Apparently he cant control his vessel enough to avoid a boat traveling 2.5 mph.

  4. After following this thread for a few days I went back and read the original post....started by an officer, giving everyone a heads up to be sure they have all the proper/required safety equipment...pretty much to avoid being ticketed....and it's turned into a **** session. 

     

    I say thanks to all the guys that try to keep "ALL" boaters safe by educating the idiots that buy a boat, and don't take the time to know the laws and regulations...As boat owners...we take other peoples lives into our hands every time we take passengers out for a day of fun.  Not sure about the rest of you...but that weighs kind of heavy on me.  Unlike a car...if there's a fire...you cant get out and run...your in the water..now what?  It's 50 degrees...and everyone only has so long to survive...life jackets...who knew?

     

    Damn officers...wrote me a $$$ ticket.  I didn't know I needed a fire extinguisher.  Man I got one now.  Makes 100% sense to me...but, I'm pretty dense.

     

    Be safe out there and take 5 minutes to check your safety equipment.  Pretty sure that was the OP's message...and it could possible save a life.

  5. you could do a search on gunbroker.com for that make/model.  It should give you a ball park idea of what the market is doing.  I'd imagine all the gun shops are going to give you a low ball offer.  If you're looking to sell it...I'd suggest listing on gunbroker or a similar site.  That'll put in on the national market and should bring the best price for you.  If you just want to know the value...there are a few annual publications.  Shooters bible is the one that comes to mind.  Lists most firearms..conditions..values...etc. 

     

     

  6. To your original question, there is a more economical way.  If you want a new unit...look at the depth raider.  Under $500 and gives the same information.  Reliable too.  If your ok with used...look for a depth raider or moor sub troll in the classifieds.  They usually go for around $300.  I'd lean toward the depth raider though, I don't think sub troll is still in business.  You do not need a fish hawk to get the information you want.
