  1. This proposal is still going to effect snowmobile riders. 95% of the trails in the southern tier are on private land, and if a form of deer season is open, they will not allow snowmobiling.
  2. It's a universal design to make any trail cam a cell cam, this is the only feasible way to make it work with virtually any existing camera.
  3. My trip to South Africa was supposed to be at the beginning of this month, but was canceled due to Covid. I was just thankful to get a full refund for my airfare. We have yet to reschedule and are waiting things out to see what the future holds. One thing is for certain, the folks that get to go back out on the hunts right after they are allowed again are in for a treat with larger than normal animals due to the lack of hunting...
  4. G-Man, maybe your friend can remedy his problem by planning the food plot with corn and leave it standing or portions of it standing. that way the deer may feel safer bedding and traveling through there with the added benefit of some food. Deer use our standing corn plots all the time for those reasons.
  5. I also have the Echo combo unit, every attachment works great. I have the straight string trimmer, the saw blade for larger stuff, the power broom for yard cleanup and the pole saw. If you end up with one of these, make sure you get the extension for the pole saw, it's a nice add on for reaching the really high stuff.
  6. Those type of unhookers are used all the time in saltwater as has been already stated. I've never seen one with the downward pressure part, the ones we use are just a U hook, they have them in all different sizes from ones for catching bait to like stated shark size.
  7. Why not just launch at Callahan's marina around the corner?
  8. Just go to the Blackstone website (the new propane flattops that are all over) and follow the same process they recommend. Basically use a high smoke point oil (flax seed) put a thin coat on, heat on high for 15 minutes, add another coat of oil and keep heating. Repeat these steps and it will turn a nice dark color and be seasoned.
  9. Some morning wreck fishing with my wife in the Florida Keys.
  10. Fresh caught by (wife and I) African Pompano, with crab and scallop stuffing along with fresh caught by us yellow jack sushi (sorry, no pic of that).
  11. I bought one for my wife and she loves the thing. I think it was worth the investment so far.
  12. Our lab started drooling two different times like you describe. One time was due to him getting a glow stick and chewing it, after some research I guess they are very bitter (and non-toxic) and that caused the drooling. The other time he got some kind of bug (might have been a stink bug) and I think it was similar, bitter and caused the drooling. Might have been something as simple as a bug.
  13. Okay, well I have a Vortex CM-202 mount that I would sell if you are interested in it. If not that's fine too.
  14. Does the viper you have have a 30 mm tube? If so, I may have a mount for you.
  15. If you get the chance you should defiantly take it, it's incredible. We go down a couple times a year to the keys fishing. One of the trips each year is the fathers day dolphin tournament, with my father, father-in-law, and brother-in-law. last June's trip was filmed and will be on the sportsman's channel coming up late January or early February. If you get the Sportsman's channel, keep and eye out for Two Conchs Sportfishing TV, it's a show all about fishing the keys.
  16. That first pic of the very small spike could have been an early fawn from this year and it grew spikes rather than just buttons.
  17. Just go and buy a Vacmaster VP215 and be done with it. You will never want to use a non-chamber type ever again. They seal so much better, you can buy premade bags for a fraction of the cost, it has an oil filled pump that will last forever. I went that way a few years back and have never regretted it. The only time I use a regular type sealer is when I travel down south fishing and that's due to portability.
  18. I fly to Florida several times a year sport fishing in the keys. It's not uncommon for me to bring back 100# of frozen fish fillets at a time. I have a friend that lives in the keys so I am able to leave a vacuum sealer down there year around and use it as needed. What I do is vacuum seal the fish and freeze it. I have two RTIC brand soft sided coolers (https://www.rticcoolers.com/shop/coolers/softpak/Soft-Pack-40-Grey) I also have one of their backpack coolers (https://www.rticcoolers.com/shop/coolers/back-pack/Back-Pack-Cooler-Blue-Grey) . I pack the frozen fish and 5# or under of dry ice in each cooler and check the cooler as normal luggage. This system works out very well and everything is still frozen rock hard when I get home. You can have 5# of dry ice per bag without issues with the airline. One thing to remember with the dry ice is to leave a zipper on the cooler slightly cracked open as they are very tight sealing and will actually start to blow up from the dry ice if you don't. You can fit about 50-55# of fillets in each of the soft side 40 coolers and about 40# in the backpack cooler.
  19. The biggest issue with 16 gauge would be ammo availability (in steel or non-toxic) and ammo cost. .410, 28, 16 are much more expensive to shoot (like almost double the cost) since they only run limited runs of shells.
  20. I currently have three of the spypoint Link-Dark models out running and haven't had a seconds trouble with any of them. I am using two of them for security purposes and shocked at how well they actually work.
  21. Biz you would be shocked how brazen people are when it comes to big deer. They will trespass, jack at night, do whatever it takes once they know where one is. As far as finding were it is, it the internet age you can figure out who a person is from profiles and then search out tax maps and things to find them. This stuff happens all the time.
  22. This wasn't even the scope, it was just the mount!
  23. I'm not really sure where to put this discussion, but figured this was a good as any and wanted to get the work out. So I had some optics laying around that I didn't really need anymore an figured I would sell them to fund other items that I would get more use out of. Long story short, I put an ad on Ebay selling a vortex one piece offset scope mount, the type that hooks to a picatinny rail. I had this on one of my crossbows to get a little more eye relief. Anyway, had the ad up for 5-6 days and had many bids on it and then get an email from Ebay that the ad is canceled and has been removed! Look further into this and it is stated that since the item could "possibly" be used on an assault rifle that it violates their policy and that is why it has been removed! I beyond annoyed... so i called the assistance line and got into a true pi$$ing match with a lady on the phone over this. I asked her if they will be removing all scope rings, optics, ect. since all of them could "possibly" be used on an assault rifle, didn't get much of a response on that... Needless to say, I will not be doing any more business with fleebay and hopefully this word gets out to a few more and they will do the same.
  24. You have to turn the ticket in in the state it was purchased and pay the tax due for that state. The reason I know this is last spring when the powerball was big, I was in Florida on vacation and bought some tickets. When I got home and checked I had won a decent amount of money. I ended up taking another trip down later in the year to fish and turned my ticket in.
