Wow! Got sum trash talkers on our site. Good sign that they are nervous about our team.

You got it Bowfin. These guys know a winner when they see one, and they are seeing us BIG TIME! But, as much as I hate to say it, I've been a pretty easy target. blush AS is right, I DO miss a lot. They just don't know that's my way of catch and release while waiting for that big one. smilecool

Just snagged another metro property last night. 20 acres not far from one of my favorite spots already secured. Think I'll be able to deer hunt here as well. It's one of those "Will you please come kill my turkeys?" spots.

Hopefully I'll be able to check it out a bit better this weekend.

18 days and counting.... smile

It is very nice of you to be an eradicator.

Always happy to help. grin

Sat the new 80 acre spot north of Stillwater this morning. Wow, big flock! Heard at LEAST 6 or 8 toms. Watched a bunch fly onto the neighbors property, but many stayed on my side. I'm guessing there were somewhere between 15 and 20 birds in this group. It's the first time I've ever spent any time looking/listening at this spot, and man am I pumped!

16 days. smile

Nice pics - Hopefully they will still be looking for hens come May. Seems like things are starting early this year.

I've notice in my first 2 years of hunting corn stubble (last years corn)are what they key in on over fallow, bean or other crop fields. Has anyone else found that to be true?

I think you're right, corn stubble has always been an early season draw. I doubt if there will be much left in the next couple weeks as most is getting plowed under right about now. With everything greening so early, I expect a switch to clover and winter wheat soon.

Many of the birds I heard Saturday spent a lot of time in the pine plantation. I suspect they were feeding on pine nuts. I've seen them do this before, this time of year.

How about the rest of you guys? Anyone been out scouting, or looking around? Seeing anything in your area to get excited about? For most of us, only 13 days left. smile

More good news. Dad talked to two of the landowners yesterday. One said he's been seeing a big flock in his pasture pretty regularly. The other said there was 4 toms strutting in her yard most of the day on Sunday. Gotta love those reports.

12 days. smile

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      By Wanderer · Posted

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
