Thanks guys. Bully, I don't drive past it daily. I live and work in town. Sunday I was on my way back from the Snowbank/Kekakabic Trail, where I'd gone to look for images of snowshoe hares (no hares found), and was cruising slowly and angering fellow drivers along the Fernberg when I saw Mr. Marten just off the road.

Had I been speeding along like everyone else, I'd have missed it. I pulled over and shot him from the car as well as on foot a couple minutes later. He mostly ignored me, but I have a mouse squeaker call I bring with me in the woods all the time, so I blew on that while my camera was up and focused on the animal and he turned right around for a look. That squeak call works great for that type of thing, and I won't leave home without it.

Well your a lucky guy regardless! One day we would like to relocate up there in the Ely area, I must admit those winters scare me a bit after being in Texas for the past 20 odd years! Those first couple of winters might be tough?

Enjoy it for those of us that cant be there right now!

Take care.

One of our favorite areas, no doubt! Seems like our Ojibway - Triangle - Kawishiwi canoe route always hold some wildlife surprise or another for us. We keep promising ourselves that we'll get up there in the winter some year.

Great pic!

      New boat question

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
