Actually, I am pretty sure you want the LSS1. The LSS 2 is for the Gen 2 units. If you gettheses at BPS, or others, I think they are about $50 less than the LSS 2. You will need to get the structure scan unit, and I would assume the transducer. You may want to double check on that, the ducer may come with the add on package.
Thanks
ok thanks
I just am thinking there has got to be a better way.
Yes I did. Is this something they are looking to change? this sounds a bit silly to have to put a switch for a GPS antenea.
How do I do that?
Thanks Dan. That will not be a problem. You saved me more than a few headaches for sure.
Darin
Last Question, since you guys have been so helpful, Can I tie in all the wires from the same feed (my old unit), or should I have a separate line for each the HDS, GPS, and the structure scan? I think that covers everything 
Thank You! Helps a lot. What about the 5 wire Data cable? Can I role that up and store it under the dash?
Interesting, I will check that.
I do not have to unplug it, it just stops then restarts. Maybe I will have to call them and see whats up. Do you remember what the board costs?
No it is not blowing a fuse, it is just cutting in and out, it is very strange, as it only happens at high thrust uses.
I had a problem with every lowrance unit I ever owned in water less than 2 feet, I read down to .8-1.0 depth with my hummingbird. What is the depth you are having the issue below? Also, are you shooting through hull?
This might help people problem solve for you.

If you hunt over the food plot, I do not think it is any different, except it is legal. I have been considering putting in a couple of plots, but not in shooting distance of where my stand is. They would be more to keep the animals close by. After the corn gets picked, many animals leave and go to other farms where they leave small areas of corn til after the season.
Thanks Rob
Guess I was looking at the guilt a little different. I feel the same way about the shooting of a deer, always a bit of sadness that comes with it, respect. I was refering to the guilt associated with overharvesting in a depleted area. That is what I see in our unit and has made me less interested in harvesting animals for harvest sake.
Darin
I did not shoot anything this year because I felt the heard was to low, I felt guilty about taking an animal for that reason. I may be misunderstanding what he is saying also, but if not, I get it. Either way, we have a responsablity to know the condition of where you hunt and try to be good stewards of the land we hunt. I think that if you have passed a few years without taking an animal, that is not an issue. IMO
Darin
We hunt on the edge of the CWD zone, they do not take samples of all the deer, have not since day one, they normally will ask for permission to take a sample, but did not ask us this year, said it was too busy?
I have only read that you need to cook it to a certain temp, as that will denature the proteins that make up the pirons (DNA/RNA type structures) in the virus’. Makes sense, but I have never read any “scientific” research that says it can affect humans, only DNR propaganda/information

I am all for earn a cat! Sign me up, but I was unaware they were protected
Thanks whittsend for the topic, has been interesting to say the least. Hope you did not take offense to any of my ramblings. I am a science teacher with a strong bio background and I am always playing devil’s advocate with my students on both sides of debates like this. Sorry if a litlle too much of that rubbed off in this thread.
Darin
Whittsend,
Not trying to be difficult here , but I would love to bring up another question for you. Why are the deer being accused for all the crop damage, racoons and turkey do their fair share, but no one complains about those.
Whittsend, I do not disagree with all you have to say, just that EAB has been misused in certain areas. I agree that the CWD zone is another area to discuss. Another screw up by the DNR.

Darin any idea on age???
I think I would also take him out, unless I thought he was 3.5 this year.
I would guess 3.5. he had a solid body size last year. and one side the rack was solid. Just with his other side matched. 
Another thing that was said here earlier has me thinking now too. QDM in my understanding does not equate into small numbers of deer. I do not know of many properties that practice QDM that have next to no deer o the properties. It is about the ratio and being balanced with food supply.
In SW Wisconsin food supply is NOT an issue. Can not tell you about the ratio as we do not see enough deer to give an accurate count, but from what we have on cameras, I would guess about 3 bucks per doe. Hard to say though as we only have a few does on 7 cameras that have been out since the first week of Oct this year.
Darin
Mossboss,
My point exactly. There just is not a good population of animals in many areas because of this. Certain areas get hit harder than others due to the type of hunter mentality in the area. I think if they limited the number of tags to be had, a good balance could be obtained, but the goal the way it is is for eradication, not control. No I am not in the eradication zone either. But that is what is happening in our area, people can argue all you want on this issue, but you can not dispute data collection samples on cameras and time in the woods. We have seen numbers dropping drastically for the past 5 years.
Darin
Darin
He was a 4X2 last year
Thanks for the input here. I was also wondering about the bad racks factor. We have one on camera for two years now and looks shakey at best. Would this get hammered?

I theory I can see your reasoning, but in the area I hunt, people are just shooting more young bucks to go witht he does, not just taking more does. I saw a couple of years where guys came to the stations with the whole bed of there trucks filled with deer, over the sides. Nothing good about that. Not sure how even a couple of families could eat all that meat. Anyway, it it was one buck per multiple does, I could see it, but that is not how the law is written and it did little for the ratios by us, just gutted the total numbers, both buck and doe.
Darin
Its all part of reducing the herd, providing more food for the herd in general. QDM philosophy argues to not shoot the nubs. I aggree with you here. Optimally we’d pass on any immature buck. But I might argue that reducing the overally herd is priority number one. EAB gets this done where it otherwise wouldn’t without EAB. Maybe not preferable to voluntary means, but it works
Trucks filled to the sides with deer. Why isn’t that good? I’m sure since the area was EAB, populations were way above goal. I would think taking those deer out would be a great thing. I highly doubt it extirpated the deer popultaion from that area…. Left more browse for the smarter mature bucks that surved the season = bigger, healthier deer next season.
Problem is, this happened for three years straight. People wood drive the woods and shoot everything they saw. Now, we do not see hardly anything in the woods, during the season, or on the cameras. Three of us on our woods shot one doe last year and saw just a couple of other deer and only had 2-3 does on our cameras total that were out for 6 weeks. There has to be balance, and that did not happen. DNR should have looked at the #’s being taken from that area an should have known what was happeneing, but they let it continue…just WRONG. Last year I only heard maybe 10 shots all day on the opener. Maybe another 10 the next day. Second weekend maybe 10 from Fri-Sunday

Hunting down by Boscabel, WI. Counting the hours down now.
When do temps become a real problem with that? I have heard anything from low 50s-60’s for temps in Southern WI for the opener. I had even thought of getting some trash bags to fil with ice and place in the cavity til I can process deer Sunday night, is that needed?
