I am lucky enough to be able to hunt a cpl of western states every year and i will just say in my opinion in areas that i hunt that have wolf populations the elk population are WAY down. I have also been to Yellowstone a cpl of times in the last 6 years and i will tell you it is difficult to even see elk in the park where after a cpl days in the park you start to think there are nothing but bison in the park...there everywhere. TRUST me i hate to see the slaughter and wish there was a better way to allow ways for us to hunt them but that is never going to happin in the park & most of these animals have learned safty is in the park. Very few of them migrate out of the park. As long as there are elk and deer for the wolves there going to avoid trying to take down the bison, being in the large herds and so protective of there young and each other makes them MUCH harder for even the pack to take them down. So they are never going to be able to keep the bison herd in check. As a hunter i do believe wolves have there place...BUT... there are many places they have devistated the elk population! I hunt the famed Thorofare wilderness in Wyoming in one of the most remote place in the US on the SE corner of Yellowstone. The migration of elk out of the park through that area has been off by as much as 70% in the last 6-8 yrs. On last two trips in there we actually saw more wolves than elk...not good. Dont let anyone tell you any different ther are many more wolves in areas that have them they they will ever tell you...you can see it for yourself if you hunt, fish or backpack in these areas. When you see a pack of 8-10 wolves hunting in a pack it is impressive and you can see just how deady they are at the same time!

This one is about 12" long on my spine.

AWESOME!! She will be hooked for ever...hope she got to hear some bugles and all the cows talking! I have a good friend in Luna NM (unit 15) that I archery hunt with every yr I can draw a Tag. This year I got a Landowner tag up near Las Vegas NM (unit 41) for a late season hunt. What unit did You guys get to hunt? NM is a great Elk state...Im sure YOU are super proud and still have a big smile getting to watch her put the smack down on a GREAT bull!

For anyone interested in my boat... it Is sold pending full payment from a forum member, I also have another forum Member that has 1st chance if I do not receive payment on Saturday after sea trial. I will continue to answer any question anyone else may have in case neither of these guys purchase it. I will update if It is officially sold on Saturday. Thanks for all the inquiries. Eric

Yes...I did look at the boat last weekend. spent a couple hours looking over the Boat and then went for a ride out in the harbor. the boat is very clean and shows better then most boats 10 years or more newer. it ran great and everything worked as it should. TONS of storage and a huge flat fishing deck! I have looked at and been on a few salt water boats and this one does not look like them....keeps her in top shape for sure! We have wanted a Tiara for awhile and the ONLY reason we did not buy it is we wanted a little more room in the cuddy to be able to sleep 5 or 6 people. this would sleep 4 easy & fish 6 people & do it in comfort and class! Someone needs to bring this awesome fishing machine back to fresh water mount some riggers on her and bloody the deck with some Big Kings on daily basis!!! For anyone that thinks I'm just a friend trying to help sell a friends boat..I was in town and saw this boat on craigslist. had never Meet Bill and his wife prior to that day. They are Both very Nice and have a great boat in my opinion.

i have not had a survey done. owned for 7 yrs. Baha's built in that yr and newer no longer have wooden stringers...they are composite and where guaranteed for life of boat. if you are really interested i would welcome a survey on the boat.

Furuno 585 fish finder with bronze thru hull transducer. lowrance elite 7 gps/fishfinder , standard horizon 5" gps as well. fishhawk 840 head with x4 probe. vhf radio, am/fm radio. autohelm auto pilot for main motor with a wired remote. Has 2009 4 stroke 9.9 xtra long shaft mercury kicker mounted in the center with full controls @ helm as well as a pro-troll 3 for speed and a Panther t-4 wireless remote for steering the kicker from anyplace in boat. wash down pump, led lighting. docking lights. plenty of storage. cuddy sleeps 2 and has a stand up head with pump out. new roll up drop curtain last fall. custom birds eye maple shelving in cockpit. Trailer is a 2006 twin axle aluminium load rite bunk with electric/hydraulic brakes. almost new tires w/spare. boat Is METICULOUSLY cared for, only in water at a dock about 10 weeks a yr...always fresh water. and covered when at home. bottom painted every yr and waxed at least twice a year. Boat is currently In Oswego but will be coming back to Vermont in a few weeks. only selling to step up to a bigger boat. asking $27,900. I would consider keeping some of the equipment and sell for less. you can contact me @ 802-558-2658. Eric

X2 what hot wires said! awesome fish!!! just over 15lbs with big hook jaw. definatly a Atlantic!

run them with braid and mono...never had a single problem...

Hey brokeoff, I have run slidedivers for years and never had that happin to any of mine, if i had to "guess" i would say it is sliding down all the way to your spoon and between the action of the spoon being right near the diver and the movement of the diver it is doing the damage. It is hard to tell from the picture of your green slidediver how you have your surgical tube but, I talked to a guy from the company a few years back @ a outdoor show and he told me if I was running braid on them and they were slipping to try turning the piece of surgical tube that your line runs through sideways before locking it down and it would stop it...maybe for some reason this is happing to you even though you are running mono...good luck.

can you tell me what the inside diameter of the bases are? thanks

You put the sleeve through the back of the release where you put the pull line through...look @ ricks picture closer...you will see where they go. you put the nut & bolt where you put your sleeve.
