    Herters decoy line storage question.

    Actually bought a xl paper cutter from a thrift store. I had made j hook anchor molds out of hard wood (buddy has a wood shop so it was easy) was selling the anchors with "free" bungies so needed to cut a bunch real fast , scissors works good as well. Keep spares with your decoys. Heat is hard...

    Herters decoy line storage question.

    ken, this is one of the confounding issues with herters decoys. difficult to get the wrap and anchor to stay put. some brands of the "plastic" cord will stick to the original paint on herters foam decoys this will lift the paint leaving a line. didn't seem to be an issue with the burlap decoys...

    Gas-Oil ratio for 2 strokes

    Jeff, the only trouble you might get with too much oil is either a fowled plug of sluggish running motor. no big deal. the trouble you may get from not enough oil is a scorched cylinder or seized motor. add a little gas or not. just check the plugs after the gas is burned. a fowled plug...

    WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE PIGS

    interesting topic, this behavior is an expression of poor parenting. my dad was always keeping it clean and gun safety. as an adult I have impressed the same 2 codes on my children. personally I carry a door pocket full of plastic grocery store bags. when grouse hunting multiple spots I fill a...

    Cast iron? Herters decoy anchors

    lot pop up on ebay. these are fairly common despite not being in production for a lot of years. collectable, tradeable, yes. I have seen these sell from from 5 to 15.00. mostly in the middle of that range. as with any "collectable" the price is determined by the amount a buyer is willing to...

    ice is in season is out!

    Mark, yeah Kevlar and ice don't mix, nice boat, kind of noisy, light easy to handle, wind bothers it a bit, holds a big load, deep if its rough out. I have a kidney boat co. green bay cedar skiff and a Thompson clear pine skiff. they are heavy but are fiber glassed and can take a beating. I use...

    Marine Starter Battery Size

    batteries can go dead fast. recently stated my atv in cold weather with no problem. 2 days later it would not turn over. found the receipt and the battery was 5 years old. took it to fleet and they tested it and found bad cells. went dead that quick. not worth ruining a vacation or hunt trying...

    ruffed grouse in wisconsin

    Rick, that map and info. is scary. makes me sick to my stomach to think that a treasure such as white tail is being destroyed like this. yes I agree there is no doubt the reckless behavior around transporting affected deer is contributing to the spread. unfortunately the reckless transportation...

    ruffed grouse in wisconsin

    yep Dan (I may have miss spork his name may have been Jim Soldan) was an ER nurse, been a long time since I was up in that area. when I was working up there is was fortunate that he and Clair took me under their wing for a little fun while I was on the road. appreciate the up date.

    ruffed grouse in wisconsin

    good after noon Vince, thanks for the thoughtful message. funny I never realized what a treasure grouse were until they went south. the 2 girls get a few birds that spill over from a local clubs release for "pheasant season" they don't do well this far north so they are better off shot. Like...

    ruffed grouse in wisconsin

    Good Morning Vince, your plan sounded like my plan! sitting on the couch right now with lilly and lacey my 2 springer spaniels. there have been some disturbing trends, and a little positive going on, 1. the crash in the grouse population, 2. CWD in the whitetail, 3. woodcocks seem to be...

    ruffed grouse in wisconsin

    Ok, I get emails from the DNR on these sort of topics, saw the WNV thing but wasn't convinced it was the issue. had not seen test result data. if in fact the sample tested in Michigan was all positive that would explain a lot of things. it would also be time to start working on a solution...
