    Out of state pros

    MT just passed a law requiring purchase of an AIS prevention sticker. $2 for residents, $15 for non residents, and not just boat fisherman. They are using the money to help prevention and inspection efforts. Slowing this down CAN be done, regardless of what those "it's inevitable" folks say...

    Need boat mechanic help

    I agree on the cleaning of connections. Also, my 115 Evinrude has a relay setup for the tilt/trim and one of those could have gone bad. There is a plastic box with relays located on the back of the engine block up high that has the relays in it on my engine.

    Jig weight vrs bb weight

    If you have feel at 1oz. and 60' good deal. I don't, so I use weight. I have also paid attention to line angle and who catches what in the boat.....and the people in my boat who keep their line at a 45 degree angle do way, way better than those with a lot more line out. But, each person is...

    Cabin/Lodging Around Van Hook??

    LOL! To clarify, drinking a beer on the porch of a cabin is preferred to the front steps of the motel! Thanks for the link!

    Cabin/Lodging Around Van Hook??

    Heading north in July to pillage your walleyes, plan on staying in the Van Hook area rather than our usual area further east. Can anyone give me a recommendation on a cabin or other reasonable accommodations in the area? Only needs to be able to sleep two, electricity for the boat, and secure...

    Jig weight vrs bb weight

    I think it is really situational. While lighter can sometimes be better, say when pitching jigs in shallow, I tend to go heavier more times than not. I can't seem to fish without some sort of feel and if the wind is up or there is current I opt for more weight. I spent a ton of time jigging...

    E1E Anterless Elk

    Keep the rifle handy! The most challenging hunt I have done is trying for a cow with a bow. I was always dealing with a big herd and lots of eyes. Hunting bulls was 20x easier LOL! It will be a fun challenge!

    Trail Camera Advice

    OK so what are your opinions on flash versus IR for night use? At a lower price point is the flash going to give you better photos at night versus the lower end IR?

    Trail Camera Advice

    Most of the cameras won't be used for direct hunting. We have property a long ways away and it is fun to see what is around. That said, it does add some fun and excitement to see a deer on camera you "may" have a shot at. Sure it may give a bit of an advantage but to me it's not about that...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Can anyone tell me why my started tomato plants all died? They came up great, got to about 1 1/2" tall where I was just getting ready to thin them. But then, they all wilted and died. I think they were too wet possibly? They appeared very spindly right at the soil. I planted them in seed...

    Thanks for the feedback! The M80's aren't really much more. I am glad someone mentioned the C batteries in the A5! Looks like the 1st generation was C and the 2nd is AA.

    Trail Camera Advice

    Thanks! After doing some research tonight I am leaning towards Moultries. A-5's can be had for a pretty good price these days.

    Trail Camera Advice

    Looking for some guidance on trail camera purchases for this upcoming year. Looking to get 4-6 if possible for use in various locations. Some locations will be public ground so I don't want them to be that high end. Just a decent camera that takes decent photos. Any thoughts/advice on which...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Got my seeds going and typical me have too much water in them. Starting to droop, hope I can save most of them. Onions have been in and are growing like crazy. Didn't do much for fall garlic (forgot) but have a bunch of spring garlic in, will see how it goes, not expecting much. It is coming...

    Bacon

    I did my first bacon batches this winter and they turned out great. I used Tenderquick at 1TBS per pound. Cut them into 1 pound chunks, rubbed with the TQ, then sealed in a bag. Let them sit for 1 day per 1/2" of thickness plus a couple days. Usually 6-7 day cure, flipping once during that...

    Smoking Pheasant breasts

    Smoking Pheasant breasts

    I did a bunch this winter. I learned a few things. First, brine is necessary. Second, cover the skin with something, I used bacon. the outer layer becomes almost leather without it. And last, either go beer can style or stuff them to help them from drying out. My first batch I did bare...

    Kicker: Tiller or Steering Wheel?

    I much prefer the tiller if you have good room to stand and use it. It all depends on boat setup. I like having all the rods in front of me rather than beside and behind me. I see the fish hit or snags before anyone else in the front of the boat. I hate looking back constantly from the...

    Spinners

    Silver, brass, purple, green, and chartreuse. I have too many colors as I have seen a color totally dominate a day. I keep them short when I tie them, 36" max. Seem to get more snags when I went longer. Big beads and blades too. Oh and I really like willow leaf blades too, especially for...
