  1. What you really want to do is go on Amazon and buy an oblong sharpening steel and use it periodically, just a couple swipes everytime you use it, and it will never get dull and stays sharper and doesn't remove nearly as much metal as those mentioned above
  2. Thank you for the reply, above post changed accordingly
  3. Quinte=very large walleye. Never been my self but high on my list for sure. Welcome to the forum!
  4. This is correct if you're not going to take it to 165 and you are smoking you should use a curing mixture also known as pink salt or TCM. This inhibits the growth of botulism that thrives in anaerobic environments such as a smoker and can be deadly for sure. If you are going to reach 165 within a couple hours that is a moot point as this kills the bacteria that produces toxins. There are a couple other food-borne illnesses that can come about other ways but are relatively minor compared to botulism and once botulinum toxin is created you can't kill it by cooking because it is a toxin produced by a bacteria you can kill the bacteria but the toxin is still there
  5. Crunchy as hell up here in the daks too but the deer are moving, and not just the ones I bumped on the way in. Picked the wrong day for a still hunt
  6. Yeah the food equation is definitely tough this year but I'm in an area that consistently holds deer and I know there's lots of does around so it stands to reason bucks would be around too. I'm just puzzled by the fact that the bucks that I'm fairly certain are around are not making their usual scrubs scrapes and rubs on the logging trails where I find them year after year especially considering there's rut activity down south.
  7. Helix 10 mega si is my pick. Got one mid summer, freaking love it
  8. Any fellow Big Woods Hunters on here? I hunt the high peaks region in the northeastern Adirondacks . Haven't been out much but I've done 3 full day still hunts and a couple morning and afternoon sits. Only hunted one day for muzzleloader and saw a doe that I decided to pass on regrettably. We still have a lot of leaves on the trees up here for some reason and not a very good acorn year and no beech so I'm wondering if that's the reason why though I am seeing deer sign I have yet to encounter a fresh rub or scrape. After reading legacy's thread it would stand to reason that the deer are in rut mode up here if they are down south but I've yet to see any hard evidence pointing in that direction. I've seen more bear than deer in the woods this year. Thoughts anyone? Thinking I might need to find some new spots
  9. I have the Garmin GPS map 64st that I use for hunting and Waypoint marking when I'm out fishing on other people's boats. Lol. I like the unit though I think it was $250 through Cabela's
  10. Champlain would be my recommendation
  11. The vinyl in my crestliner is pretty good but she can get a bit slippery with a large amount of fish slime/blood. It's a trade-off and I think people sometines exaggerate how slick it is especially if it's just water which I find presents no issue. I would imagine there's many different manufacturers of vinyl out there and I'm sure they're all different tho
  12. And an extra remote... not that I'm speaking from experience also I have heard the remotes don't float so be careful
  13. more than a little drive away, I'm in the Lake Placid area
  14. I'll pull the Moonshine out and go 40 shipped that's about it other than that I'll just keep them
  15. I'll do 25 shipping not included. The shipping will be right around 25 bucks
  16. yes it is my understanding that you no longer have to call into customs 2 fish Canadian Waters as long as you don't drop anchor or set foot on shore but you do need to have the appropriate Canadian fishing license. this is not to be taken as a statement of fact it is my understanding though
  17. Helix 10 mega si... did a lot of research most bang for your buck plus it has the autochart which allows you to make your own Maps using actual depth as you go. Check it out, did a lot of research and I found this unit offered the most bang for the buck
