    Freezing sewer vent pipes

    Yep, made my Tee like the sewer skewer and capped the ends of the Tee and drilled holes through it. Mines is heavier copper, larger diameter and is 12’ long and sure as shit it froze over yesterday (12/25’). So even with a giant sewer skewer and a black insul-vent slip over cover I still freeze...

    Bitcoin

    .......and that's per person on the account and per lending institution. If you have joint accounts with your spouse, it'll cover for $500k. Of course that assumes you believe the goverment will actually pay if things went south that badly.

    Field Dressing Deer

    I'm on board with a few of the others, we haven't gutted/field dressed a large game animal in probably a decade. Fabricated a good receiver hitch hanger for the pickup so when we have a deer, antelope or otherwise, it's gets hung up immediately, skin it, pull off front quarters, back-straps...

    Crazy Hunter Harassment Duck Hunting In North Dakota (Game Warden Involved!)

    That is completely incorrect. The information they are using is simply public domain information from a conglomeration of county data bases, typically the tax or property management GIS data base of the respective county and some are much better than others. Those data bases are often times...

    LEWT Tournament Winners BUSTED!

    There's not doubt there is a very, very good chance they cheated in past tournaments. That's how you get the balls to stuff 8+lbs of lead and other objects in 5 fish. They got darning and it became blatant. Had they only put 2 or 4 lbs in would've they been caught, who knows. I don't think...

    LEWT Tournament Winners BUSTED!

    On the topic of tourney fishing as a carrier, good luck to those that do! I had my 13 year old son as my partner in a tournament very recently. Took him over and introduced him to one of the pro's that's been in the sport for several decades and is very well known. Asked him if he had any advise...

    Favorite Canadian Destinations

    Dunlop's Lodge in Northern Manitoba was an excellent trip. Only lodge on the lake, lots of fish, but the fly-in on the bush plane is a little sketch. Primarily a big Pike trip but lots of 16-18" walleyes to be had up in the little pickerel river. They have floater plane trips to some outpost...

    Your strangest catch?

    We've caught all kinds of stuff over the years; seagull(s), lots of other lures, bottom bouncers, rocks, clams, a G-loomis rod, fish that are as small as the lure we were using, a giant tree and a walleye the same time both on the nose hook of a jig rap, a walleye that was hooked with lure of...

    Broken collarbone

    Vollmer, I’d like to “like” your post but I really don’t like it at all, lol. How about a thumbs down 👎, sucks getting a major injury like that.

    Broken collarbone

    :sick: That ain’t good. Wishing him a quick recovery! My kid plays as a 7th grader and I can tell he’s concerned about getting hurt and missing out on basketball. He actually told me the other day on our way out deer hunting that he wasn’t sure he wants to play next year, figures he’ll be QB...

    Possible prop change?

    One thing I didn't get to deep into is engine height. It's not likely to fix your hole shot, however it will have an effect on the overall performance of the boat and each one of those props that I mentioned require a different hieght for optimal performance. Without a Jackplate it certainly...

    Possible prop change?

    Well, the reason it's doggy is your 600-700 rpms short of the max rated rpm for that engine (6,400 rpms if I have it right). Essentially your lugging that engine. You probably need to be running a 18P prop. Your top end speed will likely stay about the same but the hole shot and mid range will...

    What was your 1st boat, ever?

    My first boat that was truly mine was a 2000 Yarcraft Storm SC powered by a 2006 225 Optimax. Still, probably one of the best pure fishing layouts of all the boats I've owned. With that said, I grew up on the water, the first one I remember our family having was an old 15 or so foot closed bow...

    (Poll) Fall: Hunting or Fishing?

    I dont' plan to winterize the fishing boats until November. The Jet Ski and Pontoon can be put away at anytime as far as I'm concerned. We have a youth doe tag to knockout, and then start chasing roosters in October. If we have some weekends where it's going to be 70-80 degrees during pheasant...

    Livescope

    This is my first year for me using Birds Mega Live. It's pretty dam amazing. It actually probably ups the frustration level even more as you know without a shadow of a doubt if fish are in the area, and yet you'll still find you can't get them to bite! I can't say for sure it's put more fish in...

    100vs200yd Zero

    This is exactly what I was trying to say with knowing what % magnification your set at and being able to do the quick math in your head.

    100vs200yd Zero

    I think with most of what people are shooting for rifles, a 200 yard zero isn't that far off of a MPBR zero, depending on your definition of MPBR. I look at it this way; With a 200 yard zero, most rifles need no discernible adjustment at 100 yards when it comes to making a clean shot, you know...

    `/*%$ taxes

    You want to start boiling the down to the real issues of taxes. It's a system based on the ability to pay versus being based on the services you receive. Make more money, pay more in income taxes but get the same or less benefits than the person or family making less. Work hard, own a nice home...
