They are probably scared stiff right now. At least they won’t roll out of bed now that they have a kickstand.

Charles Woodson’s legacy will now be football when it is all said and done. He has provided in excess of $1,000,000 a year for the last several years to his charity – I am not talking “raising”, I am talking about digging into his own pocket and taking care of people. Charles Woodson Foundation

I will be there all 3 days – I have a booth so I better be!

Great read, Gregg! Been awhile!
This passion for hunting??? Better than dirt track racing???
I usually paper tune my arrows in the garage..not in the blind! Sorry man!
I know u will be putting the hammer down on a beast…it’s your passion! If not….it’s never a waste of our time…spending time in the woods! It;s what we love to do!

Hi Zimmy!! It has been too long!! I just read an article about your retirement from shooting pictures at the local tracks. Congrats, but I know you will be missed in a major way!
I hope you get to hunt and fish more though. Bag a big one!!

Awesome article Gregg, love reading your stuff!

You turned me on to some good hunting with the rattling you describe mid-Oct. Last year I had some great encounters, and plan to hit the woods tonight as well.

That battle scar on your blind will tell the tale every-time you sit in it, which makes for an awesome keepsake long after its service in the field is done. Good luck getting out there and putting an arrow in a big one!

Thanks Joel – I hope all is well in your world!! I have still been hunting every day, morning and evening. Judging how they are coming in and the current cold snap, I am switching to all day hunts tomorrow. Bag a big one buddy!!

Thanks guys!

My vote is for 2.0. I sweat like a kid in the principle’s office and need to layer big time for adjustments and 2.0 is what serves me well. Side note, I don’t ice fish but spend 8 hours a day on stand in the late season.

Prayers sent to friends and family. Far too young!

Great fish Joel!

Hi wllye – just find the file on your computer, highlight the line by left clicking the mouse on it, then right click the mouse on the line and select “send to” and select the drive that is for your SD card and you will be good to go.

It is pretty easy to convert navigational data to a Humminbird format in a free program called Humminbird PC – Here is the sequence from Humminbird Q and A:

Can I convert my Lowrance or Garmin Waypoints with Humminbird PC 3.026 or higher using an MMC/SD card?

Here is a short video on this topic.

1. When performing the following task the user must have the Lowrance or Garmin information saved on an MMC/SD card. The user must also have the card placed in a card reader connected to the computer.
2. Open HumminbirdPC
3. Click on File then OPEN
4. The program is now going to ask what to import and where it should look for the data. In the LOOK IN section in the top window browse with the drop down box to select the MMC/SD card (the MMC/SD drive may also be listed as a removable drive).
5. Then go down to the bottom box – FILES OF TYPE – click on the the down arrow it will give a list of all recognizable format. Select the correct format for the file you want converted. Lowrance is a .USR or a . LOW file. Garmin files would be a .GDB or a .MPS..
6. Specifiy which waypoint files you would like to switch to the Humminbird format and the files will be converted automatically. The files will then appear in the left hand column as a .gpx file. It will have the same name as the orginal file with the .gpx extension behind it..
7. You would then use then highlight the new .gpx file and select the the green up arrow under the image of an SD card to install the file to the SD card. You will get a message to ADD or REPLACE data on the card. Select ADD, unless you want to delete everything else on the card then you may select REPLACE. The new gps data will then be loaded to the card. You will see a progress bar showing the files being uploaded to the card.
8. Once complete you will then press the RED up arrow under the SD card Icon on the Humminbird PC program and then when it is safe to remove the card from the card reader the SD icon will disappear from the Humminbird PC program. You may then safely remove the card from the card reader.
9. Plug the card into the Humminbird unit while it is powered on and the information will then automatically load onto the unit. It will tell you on the unit that it is Loading Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks and then state when it is complete and how many routes, waypoints and/or tracks was loaded into the unit..

The Upper Midwest Bass Challenge Series River and Lake Divisions are filling up nicely! Just a reminder that we will be drawing for boat positions for all 4 qualifying tournaments in each division in early April at Buzz’s Bar in Mondovi. Teams that wish to fish all 4 tournaments in one division will be added according to postmark on the envelope which contains a signed entry and payment until April 7th, 2012. After April 7th, if there are still openings, teams that wish to fish only one, two or three tournaments in a division may enter.
I am a fisherman as well as you folks and it takes me a while to recover from Christmas and the tax man, so to make this less financially straining, please make note of the following: If you send one check for all of the tournaments it will be cashed 10 days prior to first tournament.
You may also send seperate checks for each tournament and they will be cashed 10 days prior to each tournament.
If anyone needs more info or an entry form, just PM me an email address.

I am 100% in line with James statement. Here is a link to a blog I had written that actually touches on that very rod.

Happy Birthday Guys!

I wonder who Chris is talking about when he says “2 big boys”?
