  1. I agree with Dana. Bear is a dolt and I won't support him or what he endorses. What really pisses me off is that he is a former SAS dude and knows better than the advice he gives. He is no Ray or Les.

     

    Have you considered a Swedish clearing axe. Less Jedi , more Thor.

    Also, if you are sold on CS, Lebaron sells some of their stuff. Here is some of what they carry:

  2. Nice shots Justin. I am glad you are using your better judgement and not pushing these animals into unknown peril to get your shots.

    That Fawn especially would be an easy meal for any Kaiyotay or even a Fox if they were alerted to its whereabouts. At that stage, hiding motionless or sometimes Momma is their only chance for survival.

    As I am sure you are aware, one of the calls Coyote hunters use to lure them into shooting range is a distressed Fawn call. Its amazing the distance they will travel once they hear it. Especially during birthing season.

  3. Art, that rig you described is still just a weighted wacky rig. I use the 'O' rings too. It really adds to the longevity of the bait. The "Wacky" rig decribes hooking the worm through the middle to get the 'T' shape you mentioned. The Shaky head rig is a stand-up jig screwed into the nose of the worm then shaked as you described.

    I use a shaky rig down to 20 ft no problem. It is a football head jig with a senko and a O ring in the middle of the body. Pass the hook thru the O ring and get a small bit of the senko. It should form the letter T with the jig head facing down. Cast it out and let it fall on a slack line that you are watching/fingering for a change in direction or speed of the fall. once it hits bottom jiggle the tip 5-9 times to shake the rig on the bottom and wait 10 seconds then retrieve and do again. The fall of the lure is usually when they hit and the bottom shake gives a follower a reason to strike. Remember if the water is clear a fish will come from over 20 ft easily to see this offering so move around and cover some water.

  4. Its also been reported that "whistle blower" protection does not apply. It only applies to reporting of unlawful actions.

     

    All of this was before a judge, Congressional oversite, and National Security commitees. Ty Patriot Act.

     

    I think this lad just screwed the pooch. Or something less vulgar.

  5. I was hoping somebody would have a line on some Rubber sheet goods offcuts in the Mississauga/Toronto or Cambridge/Kitchener/Waterloo area.

     

    I always seem to need small pieces (up to 12"x12" but larger Ok) of rubber sheet up to 1/4" thick for gaskets, mountings, clamping, etc.

     

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

     

    Thanks in advance,

  7. I know Gabe Magnotta (of Magnotta Winery) died from Lyme disease because it was never diagnosed. The familiy now have a foundation spreading awareness of Ticks and Lyme disease.

     

    Ray Mears got it as well and has fared well after treatment to everyones benefit.

     

    Good that you caught it so early.
