    Great day out there today. It took two hours to find them, but once we did it was game on. We kept 31 between the two of us in 3 hours before we had to head home. Here are the first 10 out of one hole before we had to start bouncing around and picking a few off at a time.

    this post along with the livescope in the background is a great example of FFS’s impact on fish harvest

    I’d call the Ontario Fish and Wildlife and hear it directly from the source (1-800-387-7011). I’d bring paper copies of everything just to be safe – I believe that type of stuff is up to the direction of the officer and you never know what kind of person you will be dealing with and how reasonable they will be. Also, saying the kid is only catching and releasing while you have fish in the livewell might be kind of a gray area (again, depending on the officer).

    Make sure you don’t have liquor (or other recreational substances) or live bait in your boat.

    I’m a big fan of battery operated black diamond headlights. Never had an issue with dimness. My headlamps have about 15 different light options of varying brightnesses, colors, etc. Like Mark mentioned – super easy to just keep a couple extra AAAs around to toss in if you ever are in a pinch.

    WTH can Trump pardon him for? He isn’t on the board of the baseball hall of fame. Even the commissioner can’t pardon him.

    Seems right up Trumps alley to idolize someone who broke the rules. Not surprising from someone who thinks Putin is a good guy.

    What a joke and waste of time. Let’s focus on the real issues facing our country because there’s a lot of them.

    For how much sh*t the Americans talk, they’re pretty darn soft when the sh*t talking goes the other way. Eh?

    I get it was a joke but that was not an ass kicking.

    Laws based on emotion are different than laws based on biology.

    And since we’re talking I bet you’ve never chosen to break a law.

    Ever go over the speed limit? If so, shame on you for picking and choosing what laws you follow…

    Right. There’s no science substantiating Mille Lacs walleye limits, as many others here have stated. So following your methodology, you’d have no problem with me keeping 100 walleyes next time I go out. Got it.

    I find it funny how some here pick and choose what fish and game laws they follow.

    Go Canada. Hard to root for the US with the circus shenanigans going on there.

    If you can clearly see the centerline on the highway it’s safe to drive the speed limit. If you can see the fog line it’s safe to drive the speed limit.

    You’ve clearly never driven on black ice before.

    I always get a chuckle out of people riding my ass when I’m going the speed limit and they’re clearly getting worked up about it. If you need to be at your destination sooner so you’re driving like a maniac, you should have left sooner. Your lack of planning is not my emergency.

    Also, just a reminder that the speed limit is the maximum limit. Not the minimum limit. So many drivers out there need to slow TF down.

    With the politics in Canada being worse then any one’s ever seen, I wouldn’t move there

    Just wait until you figure out what’s really going on with politics in the US.

    When is the last time someone heard of an engine failure due to lack of changing oil?

    read up on the GM/Chevy AFM issues

    When will NASA funding be reduced and subsequent contracts with SpaceX be cut?

    great question. Musk has billions in contracts with the federal government. Will any of those be trimmed? I’d bet not. Anyone want to take the other side of that wager?

    We want to talk about corruption and wasteful spending, it needs to be done on both sides of the aisle so to speak. Reading up on Elon’s conflicts of interest is quite alarming and eye opening.

    100% agreed, and I anticipate this will be the primary purpose/goal, I certainly don’t anticipate any tax cuts as a direct result just improvement on the deficit and hopefully the debt longer term.

    does your stance on this change if there ends up being big tax cuts handed out to the ultra wealthy after all this is said and done?

    I absolutely love the cutting of wasteful spending. However, that’s assuming this whole cost cutting effort isn’t ultimately going to be offset by tax cuts to the ultra wealthy. I’m in favor of cutting excessive spending in an effort to balance the budget and get rid of this spending deficit. I’m not in favor of cutting expenses to fund billionaire tax cuts.

    The part that scares me is how unqualified Elon and his minions are for this. He’s clearly an idea guy and not a numbers guy. He had a tweet a few weeks ago saying how he was going to cut $1T of spending, which would reduce the deficit to $1T, but GDP will grow by $1T in the same period which will thus result in no inflation. This statement shows he lacks even a basic understanding of economics. That’s just not how it works. The idea that you can just add the government budget deficit and GDP growth to calculate inflation is asinine. Yet he is the one steering this ship.

    But you let your media drive your fear.

    you love making assumptions about peoples choice of media and somehow using your own assumption as a counter to what you think the other persons argument is, even tho they didn’t say it. Its quite laughable. Here is a link from yOuR mEdIa saying prices will ultimately go up, not down, if tariffs are put in place

    If the vehicle you are selling is worth a significant amount of money, trading it in will save you sales tax. In my area 5.5% tax adds up.
    Figure a $20,000 trade in value would be a sales tax savings of over $1,000.

    It still doesn’t make you whole on what you lose out on a private party sale vs trade in. I was just talking to a metro dealership last week about a Tacoma they had and asked them what they’d give me for my Silverado. They said they’d essentially offer the kelly blue book trade in value which is ~$19k. Based on my market research, I think I can sell it private party for around $25k. The phrase “spending dollars to save pennies” comes to mind.

    Not surprised they still put 3k on the stickers. Usually people are late at getting oil changes and if they think they need one at 3k, they’ll probably roll in the shop at 5k and the timing works out perfect.

    wasn’t there recently a thread here where everyone was losing their minds about the increased boat registration fees that were funding programs like this?

    Never understood this thought process.
    If I pay $100K for a truck I’m going to drive it everywhere, I’ll drive it 100ft to my mail box and back
    and
    with no seat covers, wearing fancy jeans.

    you lost your credibility once you started wearing bedazzled jeans

    people have the right to their own choices in most matters including this one but what was just described was intended from creation.

    I got out Sat for a while. One flush and one miss. Seeing tracks in the fresh dusting up there was cool.
    It was interesting hunting in 8 degrees but not a problem. The old girl worked great. However it was always unnerving when she worked out of site in the vast woods since I cannot call her back. (deaf) Wish I would have hunted her on the last day of the season (yesterday) but I had enough. I doubt she will be able to hunt next year but who knows. I said that last year.

    where are you hunting that the season was still open on Sat?

    Mine has hung on the wall in my Garage for at 5-6 years now. I should pull it down and see if it will even start. My guess is it will not. Should just get rid of it. I looked at selling it a few years ago and there were a ton of them for sale for almost nothing.

    my strikemaster still runs great and I’ve only cleaned the carbs once in the ~15 years I’ve owned it. Add some fresh gas and I’m always good to go.
