RD, I hunted the Sangamon and Salt Creek for Woodies. It's a shame what has happened to that area. I used to walk drainage ditches, hedge rows, and fence rows for miles and miles jumping pheasants but now its almost impossible to find any standing grass since the farmers are able to add in an...

Mark, you are a wealth of LED info. Thanks for the education on the subject. I am impressed with the construction of the Cree product. It feels very well made and robust. I need to play with them at night to see just how strong, bright, and broad the beam is. So far, I'm happy with them. Dave

Hey Tom.....I will fasten a wooden ski to the trailer tongue also in case I lose both tires at the same time. What do you think? Dave

Good info J.P., I figured temperature was going to play a part with the two part style. I need to do some more investigating online to see what might work. Dave

Christmas came today in the form of many new parts. The new LED lights for the bow came and a quick hookup to a battery looks like they might work just fine for spot lights off of the bow. I will get floods for the rear in time. New tires came and I installed them when I got home. I "loosely"...

I grew up about 35 miles north of Springfield in Menard county. Growing up on a farm was awesome and I have vivid memories of the pheasant hunts, blizzards, harvest time, cotton tail hunts in the snow, trips down to Cairo (the "goose capital of the world") and some decent duck hunting on a small...

Great pics and a great season Pat! Congrats Dave

I didn't get a lot of time with the boat tonight but I did manage to stop at the local hardware store and pick up some stuff. I got plenty of galvanized hardware as suggested and just need to find an uncomfortable position under the trailer to finish cutting off the old bolts . They didn't have...

Never any fun Lou, hope you get it solved soon. Dave

"And, though the remainder of the day’s events remain frozen in my memory, her subsequent comments seem to have slipped my mind." - a completely CLASSIC line!

Tod - thanks. I will stop at the hardware store on the way home and see what they got. Fortunately I didn't get very far with replacing much of the bolts on the trailer because of the weather. Dave

Colin - nice work on that deke Dave

MLBob - those feathers look fantastic! Great looking decoy. Dave

Steve, thanks for the lookout. I will look into aluminum plates this week. Todd, I am trying to replace as much as possible with "better than original" parts. I'm using stainless hardware on the boat and some on the trailer. The boat is my biggest concern and watching a budget is a significant...

Steve, thanks for pointing that out. I was wondering about them corroding, but I don't think I had ever seen one corroded. If you think this will be the case, I will definitely look into getting some aluminum and cutting some plates. Dave

Hope you feel better. Dave

Ed, HB 6008 states 1000 yards...not feet! Scary Dave

That language sure sounds like it can serve a bad purpose and seems like it could just be a stepping stone towards other areas. 1000 yards is an awful lot of area to get permission from. Best of luck to those affected. Dave

What a difference a day makes. Almost a foot of snow yesterday.......30-40mph winds with torrential rains this morning.......and into sunny skies and 53 degrees by this afternoon. So, I got home, changed my clothes, hooked up the pressure washer and was able to pressure wash the inside and out...

Mark, thanks for the info. I had done some research and think that I selected correctly on what I ordered.....time will tell. They are in an aluminum housing and are supposed to be waterproof, dustproof, and corrosion resistant with 1800 lumens. The beam angle is 30 so I'm guessing by your info...
