What's everyone's plans for this spring?

 

I'll be hunting (probably archery) near home when I can here in the metro area of Minnesota.

 

Planning on a serious 5 day hunt in Wisconsin, season D.  Hopefully we'll have at least a couple extra tags.

 

Just now getting my application in for So Dakota again, hope we draw.

 

Doing the Women in the Outdoors mentored archery hunt again mid May.  This has turned into my favorite hunt, and I can't even carry a weapon.

 

Someday I hope to be retired and be able to put a couple other states on that list.

I'll be judging a field trial in NC, then attending the HSO gathering on Feb 29th. Judging a field trial in Kansas, running in a couple field trials, then judging a ft in Utah.

Rick, do you know a Dave Rowan from Northern California?  He's my cousins husband and travels all over the country judging these same kind of trials.

I don't.  Might not be judging field bred English Springer Spaniels.

I am hoping to get my 9 year old daughter out again this year around home. Last year we went out and unfortunately her dad was dumb and setup in the wrong spot. I got a Tom to come to the spot I had initially picked out and decided against after some second guessing. We were able to get a hen to come in and hang around for about 5 minutes.

Going to start out in NE archery only for a week or so. Just put in an order for some more arrows and need to pick up some more rocket heads. SD is still an option for April sometime if I can make it work out.

 

MN in April and then I head over to our WI hunt in May season E. I have checked in with our land owners and all is good so far this winter and hunting this spring.

 

Going to be another great spring.

I'm just hoping to get out. The land I hunted in my old stomping grounds is either being hunted by the owners grand kids and the other piece is in the middle of a family dispute, of which I'm staying as far away as possible. Now that I've moved north of the metro, I'm searching for areas. The areas I hunted the last 2 years see a lot of hunter traffic or there's been a few birds taken off a 40 acre parcel so that's going to get a break this spring.

 

Maybe the local hens will coax a long beard onto my 2 1/2 acre piece. ?

I got an archery tag and plan to hunt season A and C at the farm.  I might try some hunts around hwy 53 and 33 area to try and find some northern birds.  Might go to Wisconsin for a late season hunt. Either way I’m ready to hit the woods. We will see how things play out though

      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.

      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?

      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.
