Not to be confused with factory fiberglass cover (which I have found to be excellent during trailering and storage) what are some of the best ideas for a camoflage cover while hunting? Over the past 2 seasons I have used die cut netting with bundles of native grasses tied with Jute Twine or...

Thanks Eric, you're the man who gets it done! I know firsthand the headaches of implementing IT migrations . You deserve commendation for managing a situation that began with little/no vendor support/committment and ended with getting the ball across the goal line. Thanks again.

Nice work Ben! I remember when we had 3 young boys in the house, seems I was always going a Mile-a-Minute but somehow managed to find some time to myself in my workshop or outdoors. And of course some getaway time with my better half. I think that is how I saved my sanity all the way into...

JC, thanks for sending. I thought I would scan just the first couple paragraphs and then come back to read the whole article. But after reading the misery that this fellow put himself through in just the first 3 days I couldn't set my laptop aside! So I read the whole thing in one sitting. I...

Tod, something else to consider...An outboard is very top-heavy with most of the weight in the Powerhead although Gears etc in Lower Unit are not exactly lightweigh. In contrast a trolling motor has most of its weight at bottom with Armature, etc. just some lighweight electrical components up...

Tod, what kind of keel is on your Escape? A substantial keel makes a big difference in stability. For many years I had a 14foot Old Town fiberglass Discovery with a substantial keel that I bowmounted/side-mounted a large (60# Thrust) trolling motor on--same trolling motor I had bow-mounted on...

Eric, Wow, this stinks! Sorry to hear this but depending on what the Contract/ServiceAgreement with Carbon 60 says (including Notice, etc) , there may be some opportunity to get Carbon 60 to step up to their original legal committment (i.e. it appears that Easy On Net has stated what...

Nice job Larry! 'Sounds like you are getting dialed-in on the local Gamelands....Muzzleloader was always my favorite season there.

Larry, thanks for the funny story, reminds me of a hunt I had on NC Piedmont Gamelands some years ago. I was Still Hunting ('sneak hunting' vs. Stand Hunting) carrying my climber stand one day, figuring I would slowly hunt along looking for best deer sign then I would hang/hunt my climber...

I agree the Pull Cord mechanism was probably temporarily jammed. But based on description of PITA to take out 4 screws to get Cover off, I do not think you have a 1985 Evinrude 4hp--it's more like a 1989. The 1985 like many other years of 4/6/8/9.9/15hp OMC's had a simple Lever Latch that...

Tod, Congrats on what would be a lifetime dream hunt for many folks. Are there any grizzlies in the area where you got the elk? A buddy has been after me to join him on an elk hunt in MT (his great uncle was MT's first game warden) . His success rate has been very high but he goes in/up...

Brad, Your clarifications and inputs from other forum members definitely helped my understanding of the overall data management system and caveats that exist. I believe that as time goes on some/many of the shortcomings in the system will be eliminated/improved. Thanks again.

Brad, First and foremost Thank You for this data and all the work you have done over the years and for the work that you continue to do. I had no idea that by opening this Thread I would create such insightful (yet confusing) discussion! Prior to now I never realized many of the...

This wood is definitely very heavy/dense. More than any mahogany scraps I have had over the years. So I can rule out mahogany. Thanks everybody for the input. This definitely gives me a better idea of what I have on hand.

Attached is from latest issue of DU magazine. And I found the same map by searching online. But I can't find in tabular form so I can compare various counties in states I have hunted or plan to hunt. Anybody know where to access this data?

Long story short but some wood fell out of the sky (well, OK--off a truck probably) and landed in my possession. Not really able to find who lost them. There are five planks Actual Dimension 1inch by 5 1/2 inch with rounded (not 45 degree chamfer) cross-section. Lengths are qty 2 at 14feet...

Phil, Do you happen to have a photo of the one you made with pink foam? I use a round float tube (bought it 20-25 years ago) when hunting thick wood duck swamps. The inner tube bit the dust long ago so I stuffed the compartment with closed cell pink styrofoam. It has some unfilled areas...

Larry, It's cool to hear you were at Roan Mountain. Brings back memories of sleeping Thanksgiving Weekend at the Roan High Knob Shelter (highest on the Appalachian Trail) with two of our sons and their 2 buddies around 20 years ago. Coming from Wake County we weren't as prepared as we should...

I plan to hunt over mine too. Although I heard a good quip the other day--"Nostalgia ain't what it used to be".

I agree make a wingbone call. And a Box Call is a must have. When I lived in Upstate NY I taught my neighbors grandson how to use a Box Call--Lynch's Foolproof. I taught him in the car during wee hours of the morning on our way to the hunt in Delaware County. He called in a gobbler and I...
