    Winter is here. Who’s hunting?

    3 hunts into our season and not a shot fired and now froze over. However nice warmup starting this weekend should help unlock my most of my water by midweek next week.

    2 man pontoon boat

    Actually planning to motor it out and back each hunt. Goal is to keep the “pontoon dock” as small as possible. I have a small very lightweight 2 person A frame style skid blind i would just set on the pontoon dock to use as the blind. This would allow me to simply lift the blind off the pontoon...

    Thinking a making a 2 person pontoon boat blind which I would use a small trolling motor. Only have about 100 yds to motor. Question is what is the minimum pontoon length and deck dimensions would you think would be substantially sturdy enough for 2 guys, lightweight small skid blind, sitting...

    How do I get the bow down?

    Yes agree the website states 2hp. I did talk directly to the owner of County Line and he personally he uses a 6.5hp featherlite longtail on it and has no issues or concerns. Maybe the outboard angle makes a difference compared to the longtail? I will definitely check the anti-cavitation...

    How do I get the bow down?

    Boat weighs 150lbs per the website. I tried yesterday without any load in it. The odd part to me is that last year I tried it and it seemed to plane out or at least much better than yesterday(at least from what I remember), but then need to remove the motor to use my trolling motor. Put the...

    How do I get the bow down?

    I have a County Line 1038 layout boat for which I have purchased a Tohatsu 6hp outboard which I planned to start using on it. I, for the life of me, can not get the bow to come down and just plowed thru the water during my trial run yesterday. It was the most uncomfortable ride and almost felt...

    NDR but it is hunting related

    Here in Indiana, crossbows are egal basically from Oct 1 thru 1st week in January. I have used a crossbow for several years now--farthest shot I've ever taken at a deer is 40 yds which is max range I am comfortable with as far as harvesting a deer. I too have a Ravin crossbow and honestly is a...

    NDR-Public Service Announcement

    Dealing with the IRS is not fun. Too much employee turnover and too many matters handled with greatly varying timelines (ie) I have seen routine simple amended returns take anywhere from a couple weeks to well over a year to process.

    NDR-Public Service Announcement

    Only 3 days left after today to file(without obtaining an extension) individual income tax returns. Remember an extension is an extension of time to file the return, not an extension of time to pay any tax due.

    KUIU waders review

    Just remember a lifetime warranty becomes useless if the company goes belly up. Not saying KUIU or others will go belly up, just that it is always a possibility in todays world unfortunately.

    Hunting in the age of social media

    The internet using waterfowl related forums has definitely helped me with such things as finding a small outfitter in Canada to take me and my dad on hunts and now the outfitter and I text multiple times daily and have become great friends over the last several years. It has also allowed me to...

    New Skeet gun rec?

    Recently bought a Beretta 390 in 20 gauge in memoriam of my mother in law who passed this fall. It was actually my wife's idea as a way for me to have a memory item that I would enjoy. Yes my wife is fantastic! It is the best feeling 20 gauge semi-auto I have ever shouldered. Excited to be...
