Yeah this is about as blatant as it gets-----at least if they had taken them you'd think they would be ate???? But not a new phenomenon Ive spent many years on the water and in the bush------Too many times I talked to hunters who took that shot they should'nt have on a deer or moose-----walked up---did'nt see immediate obvious blood-----Instantly assumed they missed---give up and head back to their truck Only to find out later they did indeed hit the animal and it died later.---guess the wolves ate? Another time I'm watching a weigh in at a local bass tourney------now one competitor brings in a limit of largies with 2 dead ones (l'il bigger than op's pic)---so to soften the look----the judge says---ok team #x---has a limit but 2 are sleeping I overheard one of the team members say they'd get rid of them on the road home-----wether they did....????? Now this is just 2 examples but every once in a while most of us run across this scene if we spend enough time out there Now you may or may not be able to fix stupid-----but sometimes you'd wish you could add electrodes to these individuals and give em a jolt when they did this till they learned respect

It's probably the worst drought I've experienced in 50 plus years---even had a brush fire outside Ottawa yesterday Good if your a holiday'n sun worshipper-----but the farmers really need rain soon

Right on----Is that a Nipigon Laker??

Just need more that think like you Art

Art--your ancient like me and may remember that anti-drug commercial from a long time ago---it was circular thinking went like.....I take coke so I can work longer so I can make more money so I can buy more coke so I can work longer so I can make more money so I can buy more coke.......inf. I'm thinking Wally world may also have that self perpetuating philosphy An employee can go.....I work at Wal Mart so I can make a few bucks so I can only afford to shop at Wal Mart so I need to work at Wal Mart and make a few bucks so I can only afford to shop at Wal Mart....

white tubes are a laker staple

Well we're going to need those garbage items at cheap prices cause the good paying manufacturing jobs will be gone and Wal Mart wages will only allow you to shop at "The Store"

Well you might as well take your money out and light it on fire---cause no matter how cheap---if it don't work---it don't work and we're no further ahead----just paid less for a dogpile----and the problem still exists

A l'il west of Vancouver and east of Halifax Merky

Cause I'd miss out on so much road travel and frustration beer drinking So the other day I must have lost a bearing buddy I'm sittin on my porch and looked at my trailer and something looked different Soo Sunday afternoon---I goes down to the Hardware store---pick up a set of bearing protectors (like beaing buddy's) We all know---it's easy---push em in and done right??? well I changed the old existing one as well---go to put in grease-----all ends up in front and not going in OK---maybe my grease gun end is frigged??? So I'm in a town this morn--15 minutes from my house---p/u a new end come home try again---all out the front So I dig out my old existing one---put grease gun on---works perfect Look at back of new buddy's---hole seems a lot smaller on grease nipple discharge side OK--must be a flaw---back to hardware store--get the last pair on exchange come home---same thing---ok I've exhausted my local store's inventory So I call the auto parts store 15 mins away I got my grease gun end So yep they have a pair 1.98 (pretty standard) So off I go again--tell them my story as the holes look smaller than my old one again He says that if it won't work--he lives near me and will drop off refund on way home---I said Cool So get them home---try grease gun----both work perfect---bingo Push 1st one in---easy peezy---just like it should Go round the other side---no pushing req'd---it fell in (so would fall out) Now I never had size issues with the others-----got my old one on that side---yup--would have to be drove in Machining was off on new one---so I did get my refund Now I would'nt bother with this story if I only had 2 bad ones but 3 strikes and I give up See all the fun I'd miss out on if we made these in Canada or USA

True story..about 18 years ago...My wife and I both seen a big cat with a long tail cross the road ahead of us in Northwestern Ontario It was a remote spot near the CP tracks on the way to Lac Seul---does'nt matter who believes us I knew the head of the trappers council---he said there's lots of cougars in the Temagami North Bay area Now if I said I seen a Samsquatch----you could raise a brow

An In-Line quality swivel---will help with the line twist tubes like to give ya

I believe ya BT----years ago I had a Giant smallie come to the surface and take a long look at a crayfish crank I was tossin over deep water on Lake of The Woods I paused---looked long---he looked long and swam away---guess that's why they're big I've caught many smallies in the mid to high 5's-----this one would be their leader

That's cool Jacques 2x this spring I seen a Baltimore Oriole (bird not ball player) Had to look it up also to identify

It's amazing how much hunting permission I've got in my life from landowners with land posted as no tresspassing I think it's right when said---sometimes the signs are put up because the general public does'nt have respect for someones private property and treat it like a garbage dump---then the signs go up I find a simple inquiry with your intentions spelled out goes a long way when asked in a friendly manner I remember years ago---fishing a stretch of the Grand River near Dunneville----an older guy comes up to us and informs us we were on his private property---we really did'nt see the sign Now kids today would likely tell this guy where to go----we apologized as we' did'nt know---we were reeling up our lines---he said---that's ok---we could stay and got future permission to fish there. Sooo....

That's a chunk Stots

Circuit breakers at the battery connection works well

I'm an outdoorsy painter and not much into ins and outs of computers (other than I yell at them lots) Apparently many servers come Monday may have issues CTV News recommended to go to a site.....dns-ok.ca To see if you have this malware issue---it checks it out---if you get a green banner---your good Red---may have issues---apparently there's a fix I had green

What could it be??---remembering it was a ways away from the guts

Re: Bass I don't eat pike I like to eat Largemouth better than walleye---I may have eaten too many walleyes in my life Smallies are good---can be a bit stronger taste and of course trout go without sayin

Good idea---may be just a little too homegrown for this painter though

I was wonderin about that not sure how something would get in tail section though??

My Boy was Cleaning a bass today----get down to the tail section---and this pops out of the meat Not the guts---it was in the meat at the tail section---you can see the indent where it was The brown gross lookin thing was it---I'm guessin a tumour of sorts Anyway---never seen that before---and I've cleaned what seems like a Cajillion fish over the years

Gionta should be back Gotta find a home for Gomez They'll be tougher Never should have traded their goal scorer last year to Calgary IMO

Well never mind the usual frontrunners in the east for the top 8 playoff spots you'll need to add TB lightning They got better adding Salo---now Defenceman Carle---they already got firepower up front Can't see Sens or Leafs havin an easy run to post season next year Don't forget Stall and now Corvo gone to Hurricanes
