    Fire by Grassy Butte

    Back in the early 2000s, the Deep Creek fire burned a bunch of the whitetail habitat in the area. I ended up getting a nice 6x6 whitey that year as I was able to find more of them in the muley country I typically hunted. It is still early enough in the year to think that area can green back up...

    bow steps

    Note on the bow steps, make damn sure you cover them well in non-slip tape! The ones on my Toon's trailer were downright dangerous until I added some more non-slip tape I just happened to have around. The problem is that the steps are steep and the edges are well rounded. So they were a...

    Need a little help

    The dump I owned in GF had a wasp problem. They infested the overhang on the front porch. I thought I killed them once with a full can of bug killer squirted up in there, and then I plugged the hole with a can of expandable spray foam. A few hours later the bastards all found a way into the...

    bow steps

    If you are talking about steps mounted on the trailer, they are AWESOME! I don't have them on my boat trailer, but I do on the Toon trailer and it is amazing how much I use/like/need them. So much that I am thinking my next boat will have them as well!

    These work quite well, I have been using them for years.

    HVAC question

    hell, with as "tight" as most HVAC vents close and the less than stellar fit between HVAC pieces, you should be able to close all your basement vents with no problem. I do it here in the summer, and I did it at my last house where I did the HVAC for the basement and taped all the connections...

    new trolling rod

    I bought a couple of the Scheels extendable trolling rods this spring. They're north of 8 ft, maybe 8'10"? Not the most expensive rods around and even for the price I don't think I'd recommend them. They have pretty weak eyes. I've already broken one off and in hindsight now see how they are...

    Patience is a virtue

    Hopefully remm has remedied his lack of help in getting a boat in and out of the water. Just yesterday I watched two grown men load their boat and then stop ON the ramp to tarp it up before pulling ahead. It wasn't exactly a busy ramp, but they gave me more time than I actually needed to...

    SAK Salmon

    There were a handful of boats patrolling the dam yesterday evening. Don't know if they had any success though.

    Patience is a virtue

    Oh my, there would be a confrontation of epic proportions if someone ever did that to my son who was simply following my directions.

    Patience is a virtue

    Given the average age of the douchiest of the douches that get worked up at a ramp, I'd suggest recertification at around age 35-40. You know, just when a person has enough experience to think they no longer need to remember a different time in their own development.

    Patience is a virtue

    Didn't notice any Oakleys, but yeah it was a jacked up POS worth about 1/12th the cost of the boat. Maybe even less.

    Patience is a virtue

    So I was up at Van Hook this past weekend, or more the New Town area in general. On one occasion, I was in line to pull the Toon off the lake using the main ramp at Van Hook. There was a fella in line ahead of me who was vocally announcing his displeasure at how fast those ahead of us were...

    Good ol' fishing stories (Please share your)

    Holy Shiite, this just gave me an awesomely terrible flashback! I am so glad yours didn't end up like mine, it's one hell of a wheel chock. - - - Updated - - - Hah hah, feel free to send me a pic you'd like fixed. I may be slow, but my work is poor. As far as the fee(s), well...they are...

    What sonar to get?

    Yeah, not sure what a GPS on a 12 foot boat would be good for on any body of water. GPS is certainly a great tool when running the river or running long distances on a new body of water, but for the distances I have gone when using a 16 ft boat with a 3.9 Merc (oh so many years ago), I surely...

    Table Refinishing Help?

    Yeah, the poly-stain combos I have tried have all sucked. I went back later on and applied several (6-7) thin coats of poly. That helped a lot! Tongue oil is great, but it does require a lot of extra labor and coats. I did a couple of bar stools a few years ago with tongue oil and still love...

    Some like it hot

    While I love flexible, I also value smarts. Good Lord, that is a dumb one.

    Ticks~

    Because unlike a dog, we hope to live past 12-14 years. That stuff is not healthy for dogs either. I can only imagine a small fortune awaits whoever were to solve the toxic to ticks but not to humans question. I know I would buy a goodly supply!
