That’s fine let them have the land but nothing in nothing out, no electric no gas no food. I bet they would be begging to give the land back in less than a week. They want to be a sovereign nation, fine they need a passport to leave their country. If I recall my history books correctly when the “white man” arrived the Indians still had not invented the wheel, nor did they have the horse. As far as I’m concerned the “white man” was very nice to this group of people due to not killing every last one of the them during wars.

A couple of years ago my wife shot a bear, we went around to doughnut shops and asked for the ones they were going to throw away. We also went to restaurants and asked for old cooking oil. Her father checked the bait once a day and he used a hollowed out stump, make sure to place a sheet of ply wood under the stump or the coons will dig under and get the bait. Pour some cooking oil around the bait the coons and bears will get the grease on their feet and spread the smell around the woods.

Ok im sorry but i have to laugh, people are claiming ford has an aluminum body then the same person post a link that states ford has a high strength boxed steel frame with an aluminum body 🤣. Ford has had a boxed steel frame since 2005 in 2015 the aluminum body was introduced.

One thing to consider if your thinking of a 5.0l 2021 is the first year of cylinder deactivation. Not saying ford will have an issue with this but chevy and dodge did have teething issues with their cylinder deactivations systems at first

I have a 2015 3.5 eco boost with max tow. Love the 36 gal fuel tank for towing and the lower rear end gearing. I tow a 2009 ranger 620vs with out a problem. Currently have a truck on order placed order on 1/30 expect to be delivered 8/2. Chip shortage is real and dealers at this time are not willing to negotiate on the price of trucks they have on the lot. One thing i did run into was before the warranty was off had the dealer fix an oil leak on the timing chain cover ended up getting a new timing chain. The timing chain ” stretch ” was an issue with gen 1 and 2 of the ecoboost engines. A service bulletin was issues to address this issue, time will tell if this will fix the issue.

Just a follow up i did end up getting a set, took them out to Oconto WI. Had one that would not hold psi, sent it back got the replacement with in a week. I look forward to putting them to use. Thank you all who responded.

I had a friend buy a psa upper he had the same thing when he bought it so I took it from him for a weekend. What I figured out was when you think you have enough lube on the bolt add some more don’t worry about over lubing it. I ran about 150 rounds through it with no problems he couldn’t get one round to cycle. Mind you this is was spring and hand loads nothing crazy on the hand loads. If you don’t already get/use Ballistol. https://ballistol.com/uses/firearm-cleaning-lubricant/. Hope this works. For some odd reason psa uppers tend to a tighter that other brands.

I live between Roberts and Hammond. I have do fish cedar some, if you see a 09 black with red and silver ranger 620 please feel free to stop and talk.

Thank you all that have posted, sounds like it’s the way to go. Everyone at work says $1800 is a lot cheaper than back surgery. Arcticm100 I see you live in my neck of the woods, did you buy yours from wave pro direct or did you go through Warner’s dock? I ask because I see on wave pros website that Warner’s dock is a dealer.

I was wondering about that I have a 620vs and she drafts some water. I’m a little concerned about the shallow spot north of hwy63 never launched from there. Might just launch at everts.

Was trying to decide if I was going to go tomorrow but not sure where to launch out of. I have never fished this late and when I do go I go out of lake city. Any suggestions of a boat landing this time of year? Thanks!

Screwed up yesterday morning by not checking water height and sure enough the Hudson boat landing was closed. Where does everyone put in? I like Hudson due to the fact it’s close to home and I’ve never had an issue launching my boat.

Headed to Pepin today to try and figure out leadcore. Ended up not catching anything but did learn some lessons with the lead. Water temp was 70. Talked to a couple guys at the landing who had a good day of fishing. One guy caught and released a 29.5”
. This is my fourth time fishing this section love the view always learn something new.

Could you put a heilcoil in?

It was about 4 to 5” long snagged it with shiver minnow

Ps water temp still at 70

Was out today caught 2 15” smb on #7 flicker shad. Several short eyes and lost what looked to be 17” at the boat. Also got a carp on a shiver minnow, that was a good fight. Most fish came on lead core. Does any one know what the smaller fish is?

Take the prop off and run the motor to make sure the shaft is not bent. If not then it could be a bearing issue, not that big of deal to take motor apart should be two bolts and the armature will slide out. If you take it apart great time to inspect the bushes. Minn Kota parts can be found at a decent price online and the illustrated parts catalog will show how it comes apart and goes together. I had the same thing on an 80lbs Terrova and the armature shaft was bent. Good luck many YouTube vids also

The Hudson rod and gun club is very nice has trap, skeet, rife, pistol range with steel targets also has an archery range. From what I was told archery range is open all the time to members. The only down side to Hudson is the hours that are open for gun use. The one by new Richmond they give you a key and you have access to it any day of the week, but no steel targets and if you want to shoot trap on a day that’s not league you have to bring your own thrower and birds. The wife and I have been debating theses two places for a couple of years now but have not made up our mind, mostly du to the fact we like to fish a lot in the summer and when we have time to go shooting the weather is not so nice. I have been to both places both are nice but both have + and -.

Glad to hear your truck is not affected. Kinda hard to get this out of my head when I was looking for a new truck in 2015

https://www.autoblog.com/2016/11/14/toyota-3-billion-settlement-rusty-truck-frames/. Follow link this was on the main stream media not that long a go. A quick search Toyota frame rust and you will find more than enough pics and articles

Also it wasn’t long ago 2013 Toyota has a frame recall because they were rusting so bad they would buckle. There was word that the metal was subpar at best.

I have owned 2 Ford F-150 both assembled in USA. Like many have said most if not all parts are made in other countries, most from Mexico. My wife’s Edge was built in Mexico, not so proud of that fact. I am of the “old school” train of thought buy American if I can, even though any one can own a company from almost any country through buying stocks. But I like the idea that the money stays in the USA if I buy from a “usa” company. One other thing people forget is that a lot of these foreign auto makers have not been in the USA long and do not have the cost of retired UAW members so the cost of the vehicle should be a lot cheaper. Ford spends more money on labor cost than is does on steel/ aluminum to build a vehicle.

I also spent yesterday on the croix, had good luck in the 20-25 ftw with a jigging rap on the white bass. Did manage 2 eyes about 14” and one sauger at 15”. Did get a couple small perch on spinners with crawlers with silver blade. Boat traffic got a little busy after 4 oh well.
