Thanks for the clarity guys, I had no idea-guess its just one of those things you don't hear about every day. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Not exactly sure how it will effect us all but while scouting today I ended up at fort niagara walking the shoreline- long story short I ran into a dec officer with a couple kids who were searching this end of the lake for dead birds, apparently there's been a Botchalism outbreak on the eastern end of the lake leaving many early migratory and loon dead on the water. You guys no anything about this [ Post made via iPhone ]

The morning was as hot as expected, smashed 21 woodies rite off the bat but had a real hard time getting the mallards to work in only got 5 and 1 black. Teal were non existent today witch really surprised us all considering we've been seeing them non stop. Still can't load pics from my phone to photobucket for some reason. Sky carp extravaganza tomorrow. How did you guys make out [ Post made via iPhone ]

Just wanted to say good luck to all you guys. May they all be feet down in your face! My MOJO'S are charged just picked up and rigged a dozen fresh ghg woodies to add to the spread.... So have a great safe day everyone Scott [ Post made via iPhone ]

Hello again all, hope all you western guys are as pumped and ready for this weekend as I am. Hitting up my swamps on sat and sun but my question is this- I see ducks all the time while fishing so i no theres slways some but i have not made it out in a few weeks and was hoping someone could confirm or deny any good activity for a cast and blast next week. anywhere between niagara river to olcott Also wanted to throw it out there if anyone ever wants to throw some gas in the tank when it gets good to float the upper, lower, or either lake shoot me a pm. Thanks, Scott [ Post made via iPhone ]

I made my mounts for riggers and rod holders, they work great- strong as can be I really like the versatrack for moving rods ect. Takes 2 minutes to remove riggers no holes mounts anything left behind. Pm me your email or cell I'll send ya pics of my setup. I have problems posting pics from my phone and comps broke [ Post made via iPhone ]

i was having a hard enough time waiting as it is now you guys rub it in

Love the youth hunt, While i was in tennessee they had the same platform with the one difference, The regular bow season closed for the weekend for bowhunter saftey. The kids will most likly see double the number of dear and have favorable weather to hunt in and the concern for our kids safty reduces dramitically in regards to worring about the neighboor ripping round thru the hedgerow at the same deer

i have been debating chautauqua or hamburg-erie, prob wont make my mind up till friday when it's time leave.

heck of a day ,

By jams ,Is a spent case getting stuck in the barrell or a new round not lining up correctly

i have a life case on my i phone when i bought it at BEST BUY the kid took my phone put it in the case and dropped it in a pitcher of water, completley submerged and came out dry as a bone.

well im going to grab some new matching rod's i will be primarily trolling with inline boards and on occasion dipsys. And more for trout and walleye than salmon was hopeing you guys had some input on these combos Daiwa heavy with moderate action with accudepth reel okuma medium with stratamaster reel Shakespear aresinal med action combo im limited to 100 bucks per combo, dont no the preferred action for inlines and dipsys the more i read the more different answers i come up with, I do run mono. so what do you guys think the best buy is or what action do you prefer and thanks in advance

there dredging the harbor starting on friday, but i went out today in hanover they put all there docks in, spent most of the day screwing around with the new boat and electronics , ran down to sturgeon for maybe two hours picked up 14 little piggies

I just wanted to take a second and thank all the great anglers for sharing so much information, we all no how the trib section gets and now that im able to get on the big water im sure that there is much more to learn but feel confident thru your reports and advise i will do just fine so thanks guys scott

that things huge , talk about a deer killer, my god could you imagine calling coyotes and having one or twenty of those come running in, thats not what happen with this one but if you want to check out some more pics just search idaho wolves

if your hitting at 30 to get the 10 more yards the choices are tighter choke or heavier shot than your using, do you ever notice on the farther shots your hitting the bird pushing it off flight line? but it keeps flying unaffected or hear the shot wack a wing but not break i would suggest increasing your shot size. If it seems like your stone cold missing then tighten up your choke the birds are most likly flying thru the holes in your pattern. you also have to pay close attention to what chokes you use if your buying aftermarket i dont remember them all but a factory benelli mod tube is restricted to .700 while a kicks mod tube for the same gun is .710 " witch is the same as the benelli factory improved and every manufacturer's restriction is different as far as your shooting even 3 times a year breaking over 20 leads me to believe your shotgun skill are not bad at all couple of my buddies cant break 10 a round, if your using improved cyl that would lead me to believe you hit them pretty quick out of the house wich is also great . if you want to improve a bit more with shotgunning try a improved modified choke next time you go and try to hit the birds at the same spot out of the house by cutting your pattern down you will force yourself to be more consistant with lead fallow thru ect, when you get that down try full its hard but fun.. what setup do you use now for geese?

i like the idea! gives everyone a fighting chance i would like to see a higher reg fee for am's with a higher payout tho i dont think fourty a team 20 a man is bad if you ask me what waters did you have in mind

o no reason to appoligise man , i am just a firm believer that even with the same gun people require different setups and shot sizes, have you ever let someone use your gun? i have, it did not help them yet i whack em non stop. personally i use a mod choke and 3 inch shells , never use 3.5 anymore and kill alot more birds than i used to. i used to use them religiously,the expensive ones to hevi shot ect, untill i hunted with a group of guys using smaller cheaper loads and realized they were just out shooting me and my big overpriced shells did not make a difference so i started shooting clays about ten years ago and can say that helped me emencly and can honestly say now i shoot better with everyone i hunt with regardless of what gun i bring with what load i will alaays kill more. typically #1 for geese #3 or #4 ducks from divers to puddelers i shoot any brand shell and any load i can get my hands on and most days have mixed up boxes with a few different sizes and brands with me. i shoot alot of kents, have recently fallen in love with rem-hypersonic and will never again shoot sportsman steel. here is a real intresting read i found last night breaks down pellet count , %of hits and diff chokes with different loads and guns http://www.outdoorlife.com/node/45682 check it out

i think the most overlooked part of this question is always the shooter, is he quick to draw, accurate, estimate and maintain a proper lead and so on, i hunt with alot of different guys each year and they always ask "what tube what load" well the first thing guys who are average or less than average shooters need to figure out is where are they really shooting at the birds and how accurate is there aim as in PK's pattern test 8 bb's in a 24" ring may work for him but a standard duck is only 12 x 6 "yes i just measured all my mounts from teal to mallards" so even in his test there is a maximum of 3 pellets in the area of a bird so there is a huge wide open pattern covering a large loose area , jump that shot size up to #4 with only a 3" load and a mod choke your looking at closer to 35 hits on that size papper but it all ends up on what works for you in my opinion anyone trying to find THERE OWN best load unless you consider yourself a expert shooter should approach it like this if your quick getting the shot off go with a more open choke and smaller shot like improved and #4 this is going to give you a big dense pattern when the birds are in on the close side even with poor aim your chances of a hit will be higher. if you are frequently the last one shooting then you should consider tightening up your choke and run #3 or 2 because the birds obviously are getting farther away by the time you get your bead on them this should maintain a dense pattern but still cover enough sky to allow some shooter error if you start with a tight choke regardless of shotsize and are shooting when the birds are in close 20 25 yards your pattern is so tight the birds you do hit will most likly be destroyed but unless you shot is perfect you will miss most of the time, i havent put any on papper but would assume roughly your whole pattern is under 15 inches at this point you better shoot straight

may i ask why you or him like the 223 vs something a little bigger ? AR platform? personally i think its to small for deer just the jump from 62grain fusion to a 243 i think comes 96 grain is a fifty% increase on bullet weight . quick story my uncle took his 223 out a couple years back nice ten came in crack buck runs off all hunched up .....yaaaaaaaaaaaaa, ya no how it is , i go to help recover the thing not one single drop of blood to be found spent the rest of the day looking "no snow of course" few days later he stumbeles on the dead deer , tiny pinhole square in the middle of its shoulder, not enough of a hole to even leak out of and that bullett did not have enough energy at fifty yards to blow the bones apart, dont get me wrong it went thru but not with the deviststion my sons 243 has , and the other half of that most certainly bullet type i would assume he was using el cheapo fmj rounds we plink with all summer.

yep, on there 11 th b- day they can take it but still cant even purchase there tag till 12

cool buck, double main beam dont see that every day, to bad he wasn't 6 years old , bet that would have been wild
