    Not really, 5-10 lbs would be my guess. Not my guide. Damnit! - - - Updated - - - Ha hah ha...that was a funny clip! Doesn't change how much we enjoyed catching bonita though. Next to the shark they are the best fighting fish I've caught out of the ocean when matched up with...

    Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

    I've never been to the D.R. but I have been out on the big water a few times. What I would say to that is YOLO. I've had very poor days on the ocean, some OK days, and a couple that were a damn tiring experience with reeling in fish. One thing they have all had in common is that your guides...

    note: DPOA = Durable Power Of Attorney I think. Second note: Beneficiaries listed on insurance, or co-owners of checking accounts trump anything you put in a will. On that second note, this means that if you were married 10 years ago and took out an insurance policy, the insurance...

    Looking for....

    I've gone through quite a fair amount of this estate planning and wills over the past 8+ years for myself and parents. Then had to redo my own after a divorce a few years ago. Bottom line here is that attorneys charge $200+ an hour for their time. So if you sit and gab with them about the...

    Could you pull the trigger...

    dumb But I can sure think of a few people I'd like to put it on and then shoot.

    Jiffy

    Never knew where the blue tape came from, I generally grab the red or yellow stuff but may have to switch now for the challenge. I wonder what our next home will be called? :;:duel

    A one party system

    And McCain. It seems that middle of the road politicians aren't as popular as we'd like them to be. For whatever reason.

    temps for hanging deer

    Not only that, but it is illegal to transport deer spines and skulls out of 3F2. You have to debone and get your taxidermy done in that unit if you shoot a nice one there.

    Lion Arrowed

    The problem with mountain lion dinner is the same as it is for bear. Parasites! They are known to carry a lot of worms, which they get from their own diet. Tapeworms and trichinosis are quite common.

    temps for hanging deer

    I think the worst I had ever witnessed was a suburban at Cabela's in East Grand Forks about 20 years ago. They had a couple deer strapped to the top, fully skinned out and covered in 300+ miles of road grime. If I remember correctly, there was some reason I thought they were taken in MT and...

    M1, yea or nay?

    We seem to have a never-ending supply of well intentioned, but poorly worded measures in ND.

    temps for hanging deer

    This begs the question of hide on, or hide off. So long as the deer isn't all shot up, I like leaving the hide on as it protects the meat from drying out. Plus, the skin is a natural defense against bacterial growth on the meat. That being said, I've known a deer or two that hung around in...

    Jury duty

    Been called 5 or 6 times, have had to serve twice. I agree, the process is interesting. It's all a part of being an American!

    M4, yea or nay?

    Am I the only vet who gets embarrassed every time I get a "thank you" for serving? Seriously, we did/do it because of our own reasons, not because I wanted a discount on my license plates (note, if I remember correctly, personalized veteran plates are the most expensive). I'd like to think our...

    Moose Hide

    I have taken a few deer hides to the taxidermist to get tanned the past few years. A doe hide costs $120, and if I remember correctly a buck hide costs $150. So to get a moose done (it's on the square footage) it would probably be around $400 at a local taxidermist and it takes about 7-8...

    M2, yea or nay?

    It wasn't the ID that was being challenged at the SCOTUS, it was the requirement that people have a physical address for mail delivery and not a PO Box. Many rural residents do not have rural mail delivery, hence they get their mail at the Post Office in a PO Box. The challenge was that this...

    Surface Cracks in Livewell???

    Hey, I didn't suggest he needed really big ones. 1/4 inch should do the trick.
