First, I'm smoking a ham today, it's already smoked but why not smoke it again?  Now the cooking thread police will leave me alone.

I was thinking of Reb being sick and when I was a kid I was sick during deer hunting and I had this "buck lure" that came in a plastic bottle they sold at the convenience store. I got some on my glove, wiped my nose and for over 30 years whenever I get sick I can smell it.  It was something like Indian Buck Lure or something.  I'm pretty sure it was never extracted  from a buck, doe, fawn or any type animal.  Just smelled like gunk.  It was in a real small plastic bottle, grayish or clear color.  Any guesses?

*WAACHOO!*  'cuse me. *SNORT*  Just bet it was this....from the 70's I think they still make it. Might have a bottle here somewhere; Holiday station stores used to sell it, and the Kmart gun dept (Back when they sold guns) had it too.

Kris, sorry to say I would not know.  I have never used a buck "lure" or whatever they call it.  Just depend on my own smell LOL.  One time one of the guy's hung some of those drip things near my stand, and that's about as far as I got.  Didn't work that season, but could have been my scent.  Blew some scent around after eating some of the bean dishes we made.  .  good luck.

We use to dump this stuff all over ourselves when we first started out Deer hunting. It did add just a bit to the evening dinner with 10 guys around the table at the farm house!  :P

it's $3.49 now so I'm guessing thirty years ago it was 99 cents or so.  I remember exactly where I was leaning against a tree and wiping my nose with my gloved hand that I had spilled it on.  Sucked in a good snoot full and I can smell that stuff every time I have a similar type cold.  Frankly, I don't mind it at all.

That's funny, I'm the same way. It's one of those smells that the first time you smelled it, you recoiled in disgust. But now I've come to associate it with being in the woods on a crisp fall morning.  As long as my nose isn't right in the bottle, I'd say I almost enjoy catching a slight wiff on the breeze as I sit in the stand.  Same with 2-stroke outboard exhaust on a balmy and calm summer morning and spent gun powder on a cold day in the woods - two of my favorite smells on earth!  It's all about the state of mind the smell triggers.

holy cow you nailed it.  I loved putting the old boat in on Leech first thing in the am and firing it up and smelling that cloud,  I had a spent 20 gauge shell in my cup holder in my truck for two months this Fall and would smell it from time to time.  It may still be there, I doubt I would have thrown it out.  

I will throw Hoppe's gun solvent in the mix too.  When I was a kid I used to think it smelled like banana.  Haven't used it in years.

Don't forget that early morning damp, slightly fishy smell on the lake as the fog slowly lifts and the water laps gently at the shore....then that whiff of  2 cycle perfume off the old Johnson outboard...

Yes the smell of hoppe's takes me back to before I started to hunt. The neighbor took us hunting but before he taught us to shoot we had to learn how to properly clean the guns ( his guns of course). We spent many Friday nights cleaning all his guns so we could go shooting on Saturday. The smell of the outboard means I'm out fishing and not working. Weird but love them both

      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...

      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?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.
