I went to the shop over the weekend to shoot all the new bows… Ended up walking out with a very gently used FULLY loaded Lift 29.5 for a fraction of what the same setup would have cost if I did all of it myself. It came loaded to the gills with all of the top of the line accessories so I couldn’t pass it up. Even the bow tech couldn’t believe there wasn’t listed for another grand more.
What kind of goodies did it come with ?
Just enough to wreck some bogies. Totally figured you had enough belle and needed a new one.
I think alot of guys get stuck into the Livescope stereotype of constant screen staring…
in Ice fishing, yes, but its ZERO different then staring at a flasher…
in open water, the idea that you’re going to be staring at your screen the entire time is a myth, it’s pretty dang hard to keep the cone angle aligned with your cast while reeling your lure in…so while you do look at your screen, it’s typically when scanning the water before you cast…its this very reason that I hardly ever use forward mode when using Livescope in a boat… I do use down mode when jigging directly over structure and yes i’m looking at my screen when doing it, but its mostly quick glances until I see a fish move onto the screen, then i’m locked on, how is that any different than staring at your line or rod tip in the water?
If somebody was watching their screen for every cast the entire time they are out fishing, then I think we would all agree that’s just ridiculous, but that’s just not reality…
Far from a myth, I literally seen it every time I’m on the water. But obviously I can’t speak for every one
I am planning on ice fishing this weekend. I think a lot of lakes will lock up tonight now that the wind died down.
Most of the lakes on the game plan are pretty remote so hopefully they won’t be loaded with rocks that dumazzes tossed on the ice.
Even small lakes are not safe from the scientificly proven rock throwing ice depth/ sound check. I get around, and if I don’t make it bucky will.
I’ll continue to be one of the guys who doesn’t stare down at a screen the entire time in the great out doors on the water. And teach my kid the same.
There is nothing even a little exciting about these releases
The truck is loaded with softball to basketball sized rocks, and I’ll be hitting some local spots to do official ice checks starting Friday.
We are one step ahead of you. When you get to the lake and see rocks on the ice, youll know I was already there.
Can’t beat OTT chili
Looks great, I want to try that as well.
Look in to that sitka hat or beanie. It’ll be the last one you buy. The kuiu one that wraps under the chin is bad to the bone as well

Well, the ice has just started to form on Shotley Brook. In the past it is typically 10-14 days later that the lake is frozen over. Of course temps and wind play a big factor on when we will have walkable ice. Sorry to all the people that now have to spend Thanksgiving with their families instead of ice fishing. We will keep you updated as to when we will open.
We typically head up Thanksgiving evening after a big early dinner. Now I’ll be hoping little locked up Ponds north of me instead.
I think the shallow lakes may be ready by this weekend north of the metro if the wind stays down. Ponds have walkable ice after last night.
They’re fishing in the devil’s lake area on 4″ +/- of ice
Yeah buddy. I’m ready. Tip ups are ready
In all reality, my dogs both the big and small one are as Pampered as it gets. They sleep in bed with us, sit on the couch and watch movies with us and eat as good as we do. I never understood the point of a outside dog.
Ahhh yes, a random my dog versus your dog debate!
Some of you were the kid in elementary who started every conversation with “My dad could beat up your dad”
Back in my old dogs day, he slept out side in the coldest of temps, back when dogs were dogs, he also has to chase the chickens up hill both ways even in the deepest of the deep snow. He wasn’t no 50 degree garage dog like dogs these days. 
No gun saftey videos that I know of. For me its was always preach and practice. I actually did this with there toy guns first. Preach and practice. Preach and practice. It’s worked in my household. I’d trust the 8 year old daughter to grab my .22 and shoot a rabbit in the yard. I wouldn’t let her do it, but I would trust her to do so. My 13 year old isn’t even a worry anymore. I beat gun saftey in to his head like no other. And still do. But he has proven himself time and time again that he learns and listens.
As for the bb gun, the red Ryder
Sitka, kuiu are my 2 go to winter caps. Best I’ve used for both warmth and wind proof. The sitka incinerator hat and or beanie are as good as it gets in nasty cold wind.
You guys buying boots need to shop end of season deals. Alphaburrlys 1600s were 89 bucks at end of season last year. I bought 3 pairs. 1 for work, 1 for fishing and 1 for spare.
I have state farm, and was telling the lady we need to shop around. I’ve been with them for years. Only claim I’ve ever had was hail damage 10 years ago and a Honda wheeler I wrecked 3 years ago. My rates are way higher then I think they should be and I think state farm be scamming. I don’t trust most insurance companies, and even worse is the agents that peddle insurance. But your quote seems a little on the low side. What kind of coverage are you loosing.
I have been wanting an e-bike for the past few years. Thought about doing a conversion to my mtn bike but chickened out and then sold the mtn bike.
Well I have had my eye on this one for the past 2 years. Decided to click on a bookmark on my work computer last week for the bike. Lo and behold it was on sale. So out comes the ol CC and 3 hours later I got a text from Erik’s in St Cloud saying my bike was ready.
Went and picked it up on Sunday. Had to take it for a quick spin in the parking lot at the shop. With throttle only I was able to get it up to 20 mph.
This is going to help a lot on those 1.5 mile walks in NE or the 2 to 3 mile walks in SD.
That thing is sweet. When I rode one it had way more torque then I expected. Pretty sweet ride you got there. Now what do you do with it when it’s in the tree ? How far from your tree do you leave it.
Can you drag deer with that sucker?
Oh absolutely.
I grew up near Bear archery. Always liked riding past the place.
The old phrase “Never meet your hero’s” applies here for me…..
Why’s that ? I always just enjoyed his books when I was young. And hoping my son will as well.
Oh yeah, she will eat.
I thought VR was the cool thing now.
A VR game room opened up near me, they charge $40/hour.
I tried a vr thing at a buddies house and about 2 minutes in i got a raging head ache and felt sick. Definitely not a thing for this guy, but the kids liked it.
To my right is where all the thick brush is. Im honestly not sure which model it is. I would rather have a dovetail type in my V3x though. Holds zero super well and stays lit tell after close so no reason to switch yet.
I just sold both my dialed sights and was going to order the new prüf but I’m now leaning towards the hha tetra max ryz x3, or the black gold pro hunter hd 3 pin horizontal slider. Black gold pins are about as good as they get. Saves me money over going prüf as well. The dove tail is the way to go if you have a mathews.
Just got setup in an area where a couple small ridges meet a swamp. Already seeing deer after being setup for 10 mins. Tough thing is with how thick it is I only have a shot at two trails.
How do you like that black gold sight ? And which one is it.
This isn’t a Black Friday deal, but we were down in Red Wing and stopped at RW Shoe store. They have some solid deal’s on seconds in the basement, lots of hunting and work boot options.
If you work within a union you get a steep discount on top of that as well.
BC you’ll love those Armachillo’s next summer when you’re sweating your n___ off!
I’m excited to try them out. And that tells me I’m getting old, I get excited about underwear and socks these days and it’s what I ask for now days lol.
They are absolute garbage your right there. If a RAM was even capable of pulling one they could go right off a cliff together and get rid of two piles of $hit at once.
Lol, I’m just playing around. Hopefully you get your problem fixed.
Those ice castles are worse then owning a ram. I mean just look at the lots. Can’t believe how they jacked the price of them up and they just sit
If you want to see a serious collection of Wisconsin heads, take a drive to Alma and stop in at the Red Ram bar right on the highway downtown.
If I find my self in the area I will have to do that.
The 3-9x vortex scope is 99 bucks on Black Friday at Cabelas/BPS.
The crossfire ii ? If so that’s a great scope at that price. I put one of them on the kids savage 220.
