Everything that has been said here is pretty much spot on. My dos pesos; 1. If someone has a dog of the breeds you are considering and invites you to go hunting with them, go. Hunt over the dog and see how it works. Anyone can tell you how great a dog is, but only the dog can show you. 2...

For what it's worth, I have a Mossberg 835 that I have had for years. It bought it with a short "turkey" barrel on it and have since purchased a 28" barrel for waterfowl. I bought it new for like $275. It can handle 2 3/4" up to the heaviest 3 1/2" Mag loads. You can get a slug barrel for it...

A grill is basically an outdoor oven in this situation. Not sure what "the other" type the recipe calls for, but you can control the temp on a propane grill much better than, say, a charcoal grill. You can always set a tin pan with burning briquettes or wood chips in the propane grill to get the...

Oh man. If you are talkin' bout what I'm thinkin' bout... ...I discovered this stuff in An Daingean a couple years ago and have been in love with it since. A glass of this and a good cigar. Second only to a glass of the Hirsch 16 year (which I discovered a mere 5 days earlier in , of all...

I tried for 615 too, didn't get. Next year, I hope. I want to try hunting the river isles from the sled.

I got a Ukiah controlled spike tag. Hunted the general season last year (which is the week after the controlled hunt) and saw some elk, but no spikes. Turns out a bunch were shot the week before. So, now I will be there a week before, with a working knowledge of where I want to hunt. Got it with...

WTF!? Has anyone been watching this? More Sockeye over Bonny in the last three days than TOTAL Chinook ALL MONTH!!!!! C'mon ODFW, give us a shot at these things before they are all in Idaho.

Get the biggest, nastiest, blackest spinner/buzz bait you can find. Put a 12" black worm on it as a trailer. Cast and retrieve just fast enough for the blades to break the surface a d spin. Hold on for dear life! When they hit, they hit HARD! Good luck!

Nice work, Carpetbagger!

Buy a boat. Fish all the water you want. Oddly enough, it could save you some money.

Hi, my name is Dude, and I am a Quack Addict. There is something just a bit off about a fella that wants to get up before the sun, gets excited when it's raining, looks forward to sitting, in the dark, and the rain, with a wet dog, waiting for that single moment. The one just before it's time...

That's perfect. I was hoping you'd come up with that on your own. A knot won't hold in a wire cable. Try this... ...First, slip a piece of shrink wrap over your cable (two or three inches), make a tight loop around the weight handle with the wire then wrap the tag end around the running line...

As much bend as is needed to load the rod. what ever that might be. Just make sure you do not over do it. Normally, with the releases I use, if I overload the rod, I trip the release. Agian, trial and error until you find your balance point.

Hope this helps. Again, all of my experience is from East coast trolling for lakers and Landlocked Atlantic Salmon, but I gotta imagine the same applies here. I will be doing extensive testing in the weeks to come and will be glad to report.
