    If you don't reload and want to shoot/practice a lot, I would stick with a common cartridge. 270 is fast and flat and will kill everything in NA. If you need more umph, perhaps a 308 or 30-06. Never shot a 300 mag, so I can't comment on that but I assume ammo is expensive.

    Gotcha - we catch some big lakers in the 10-20lb range fairly regularly - they still offer a decent fight but more like a heavy log than ripping (salmon) and/or shaking (steelies). Still fun and are the go to when we can't seem to find salmon or when we want a lot of action as they tend to be easy to catch. I can see light tackle making the eyes more fun.

    So it seems walleye are the target of choice. I have to ask, since they apparently are not good fights (caveat I have never caught one), why target them? I assume its to eat. We catch and release almost all of our fish, but I fish to enjoy the fight, not for the food. Hence my love of salmon fishing - they are brawlers and can literally exhaust you bringing one in. Maybe I would think differently if I loved the taste of fish.

    I like this idea, at least for my small plot that is tough to access. Plus, I could just leave it there.

    I am with Law. June to July is a month for big growth.

    Looks like you have enough exposed dirt to get some germination. Good luck.

    The groundhog requires the weight of the ATV and lots of figure 8s to dig in. No idea how you could do that with a zip tie as the big concern is usually damaging/bending the hitch receiver or even frame. We did this plot with the groundhog but it did do some ATV damage.

    What a joy doing work at the property this morning. Cleared trails and started some stand work. No long walks, no hauling in chainsaw and other equipment. Drive right up, clear or jump in stand and move on. Got more work done in 2hrs than I often would in 4 or more and I don’t feel it a bit. Good investment based on first work day using her. Took ADK suggestion and grabbed a polar utility cart to tow behind so that I can haul whatever is needed. Great combo.

    That is really cool. Love the real wide ones. Never see them around here. Congrats!

    Kudos to Sis. Explain to me again how you locked her up - and not like that Dan!

    Very cool Law. Looks like perfect weather too.

    I bet you and I can just lift it up and drag it out. lol If its the "plot" I hunted turkey in, we don't need a wheeler, my truck would do just fine.
  13. moog5050
    Can you chain the broken one to your truck and pull it out. Then you could cut it up into manageable pieces. I will drive down to help Dan.

    I saw one that was killed that weighed 135 and the 3d target I was shooting I was told was about the same size. That bear looks real close. Much easier if you have something to gauge height/body length against. For what its worth, we were told that the 135lb sow killed was old enough to breed and "mature" - said it could be 4 years or older.

    Thanks DB. Shot a 276 a few weeks ago but that darn 280 has been elusive. I also shot a 267 FITA face which undoubtedly would have put me over 280 on the NFAA blue face as FITA is way more punishing on score. Get that bow out and shoot!

    If you tow you should have ATV coverage that includes not only damage/theft of your ATV, but property damage and liability. If it flew off the trailer into traffic (among other things), your auto is not likely providing coverage. Its worth it for peace of mind.

    Very cool. From what learned in Canada, I would bet that bear is 150lbs or less. Still cool.

    Water fleas. They coat the line. Can be bad at times or in a specific area. Seems like mid summer is when they are worst.
  19. moog5050
    I can tell you already ripping around 2 up on the trails the other night, I will not regret having more power. Both a Kia and vette will get you to the same place, but a different ride for sure.

    Gran Torino now on Prime.

    You getting that many on the cable? The cable is usually the easiest part to clean. something metal against the cable as it reels in usually knocks them off. Never mind, just reread and realize you mean the lines.
  22. moog5050
    Probably because you can pull your buick (I mean subarau) right up to it. Gotta bring you to cal and you might change your mind, especially when doing work on the property. It aint for the casual hunter but bucks can grow big there.
  23. moog5050
    sucks cleaning them from lines - truly
  24. moog5050
    I heard that. We still use flea flicker with flouro leaders but even then they can get bad.
  25. moog5050
    Me too! You are welcome when we finally get the boat in. I joked with my father that it will be in just about in time for the fall run.
