I don't know yet.Just talked with my cousin from Bimidji and he said they fought them off in his county, bnut the neighboring county is going through with the ban.
My guess would be the antis won as no one seems to care till it is to late.
But I will find out for you, but I am away from my home PC now so I don't have all the web sites loaded here to see about it.
Should know by Saturday though.


For the sled people, the MRR antis are pushing for a ban on ditch riding on sleds now.They claim your head lights blind on comming cars.
Seems to me that's why the law said a snowmobile has to travel with the traffic when posible?So I quess they were not happy to just get that law in place, now your in for a fight to stay riding the ditches just like we are now.
Can any one see the need to band together here???
The sled clubs up in Bimidji are, they have won thier battles so far because they fight side by side with ATV's and combine resources.

Thanks, Benny

I tried for two hours to locate any info on the out come of the Park Rapids vote.

They covered that one up pretty good, I will call my cousin from Bimidji and ask him more on it.He seemed to think the sled riders joined us atv riders and put the kabash on them.

Let you know more when I know more my self.

Not being able to ride in the ditches would not be so bad, but the DNR has to do more foot work to get tails off the roads, If you go to Michigan snowmobiling it is illegal to ride in ditches and no one seems to mid there. But wait they have trails.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • 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.
    • 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...
    • 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?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
