I have a Remington 760 in 222rem that was always in the tractor with me and has killed a ton on chucks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No brainer, YES! I bought mine when I was 16. I want to say it was around 500$ for the super sportsman then. Now it's much more but at 120$ a year doesn't take long to break even. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not to toot your own horn but "toot-toot." I couldn't give any less of a crap about how or why anyone else hunts or who is better or worse or who has more trophy a or been to "school." I hunt for me, I don't hunt for meat or for a trophy I hunt for me. If sitting in a stand daylight till dark to shoot a deer you have been watching for months and have hard drives worth of trail cam picks gets your rocks hard, cool. I'll congratulate you on your trophy, that just ain't for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

lol if sitting in stands dark to dark is the measure of a capable hunter than you can cash me out! If that was what was required to be a "hunter" I would eat more beef and catch a lot more fish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a bunch of fun throughout the summer shooting woodchucks but having 1 or 2 around the house can be a huge pain in the butt and they tend not to be very easy to kill. They have an uncanny ability to show up when you don't have a gun or a clear shot. I have drank a lot of beer waiting for the woodchuck to poke his head out in my back yard.

As someone that raises beef and shoots my share of deer I will say this I give away deer every year and I have yet to give away any beef and it's certainly not due to cost because I think beef is cheaper than I spend to kill deer. All around beef beats the hell out of venison any day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it really that much different than shooting a deer out of a food plot that you planted for no other reason than to attract a deer? I wouldn't hunt in a high fence for the same reason why I hate shooting deer on my home property, I kind of feel like it's cheating. Same reason why I don't use calls and decoys to hunt turkeys, I think it does away with the "fair" part of the chase. That being said I couldn't care less if someone wants to drop the jingle and shoot a deer that's in a pen. If I walked into their house and it was on their wall I would still congratulate them because they still killed it and they must be happy with it or it wouldn't be on their wall. If it's legal and safe who cares where or how someone kills a critter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Like most other lake trout rigs if you're not bumping bottom you're not deep enough. For what ever reason most of out fish don't hit the gambler rigs but most hit a spin n glow that we run on a 1lb sinker down the chute, if you're going over 1-1.3mph I would go to a 2lb sinker to keep it as close to straight down as possible because you want it close the cowbells. The gamblers defiantly bring the fish in so they are important but the wire "thumper" rod gets 75% of the hits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A head net would be at the top of my list, cold wet spring means they are coming out late. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With my kicker I have to use 24" bags to go that slow. I hate going that slow because I'm stuck using only 3 rods "2 riggers and a thumper" but it is more effective than anything else. Usually after we catch 10-15 "doesn't take long after you find them" we will switch to a spoon/ flasher meat program so we can run coppers and dipseys and hope for a salmon.

So far on lake George and Champlain they've wanted half that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You won't be disappointed with those gambler rigs! Just go SLOW and be close to bottom! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bet! Getting stuff stuck is never fun. Today while chopping hay we had a dump truck delivering gravel for a wet hole between 2 fields. He had to drive out across a hay field to dump where we needed it. He clearly didn't have much experience driving off the road. After needing us to pull him with the chopper twice because he wouldn't avoid the low spots we just left him hooked to the chopper and towed him where he needed to go.

You ain't kidding, stuck dozers don't get pulled out they get dug out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The 4 local big farms have a cable known as "THE T"it allows us to hook up to four tractors to hook onto the one that's stuck. It's about 3" diameter cable and is moved on a pallet. Not used very often but when you get he text "we need the T" you know something big is bad stuck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's good for a few years as long as it's packed tight and chopped dry. That being said most try to use it within 2 years. Chopped hay "haylidge" is only good for a couple years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Spent 10hrs chopping hay now Hank and I are out tilling a few acres. Already have 5 acres planted but scored a free bag of corn today so I figured might as well plant it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's county specific. Some allow you to target them some don't. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not a fan of eating cats either, it's one of the few fish where farm raised is better. Down south al oat every restaurant had fried cats on the menus and they would come out hole minus head and guys and were absolutely delicious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's probably because you wouldn't stop looking at their t!ts, ever if they were eye level for ya, pure thoughts? Maybe if you didn't start every conversation with "hey you wanna Bang?" Haha, seriously getting lady friends in a military town is a tough job! It's a target rich environment for them and the odds are stacked against you. Some good looking fish! It's a bit of a haul but I hear the trout fishing is excellent and something I am going to get out and try one of these days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What many don't realize or at least won't admit to is shooting is like anything else, some are very good at it without much practice at all most/like myself have to practice our a$$'s of to be "good" at it. Shooting is a perishable skill. Shooting a few rounds the week before season isn't enough for most although for most that's all the shooting most hunters do. I probably average 30-40rounds a week other than during season and am still a sub par shooter. When I was an instructor/Range Safety Officer at Paris Island teaching Marine Corps Recruits how to shoot it was always mind blowing how some kids that have never shot before were equal to me in ability after a couple hundred rounds in a weeks time and during that same amount of time kids whom had shot their whole lives still sucked.

Yea I usually go out of Westport and go after the salmon and trout and there is just too many idiots to make it fun, get a fish on and you have 8 boys trying to run over your lines. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I usually do but I don't know if I'm going to this year, it has been a zoo the last couple years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I work with a guy that shoots at least once a week usually more, he misses/wounds a few deer everything year. 100% of his range time is spent at the bench with a lead sled. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
