There still is in Ontario. Any plate with a D or MDx prefix is a medical doctors plate.

Love that GTO.

You are wrong. It falls under the Criminal Code of Canada, and operation of any machinery while impaired anywhere is illegal.

Agreed 100%, and thank god there are people willing to do that job. My grandfather and 2 uncles were city police and my son inlaw is a RCMP officer. Not of them have gotten rich by selecting that career and some have suffered their fair share of work related stresses and problems. I know some of the things they deal with on a daily basis and I for one wouldn't want to do it. Most peace officers deserve more respect then they get.

It's the lighting coil on the stator. It provides all the power to run lights, accessories, and charges the battery.

Double Post????

:lol:

You know what I think was Awesome? That a police officer was out there helping to prevent some drunk from T-boning and killing any of our family members or friends.

I Agree 100%

It's a funny world. A lot of people are ready to call foul if approached by a peace officer, but if an officer passed on checking out a group/individual park in a car and then that group/individual committed a serious crime, the same group would cry "Where Were the Cops?". You can't win.

If you have an ohm meter, you can easily test the lighting coil(s) on the stator. Attached is a link to video on You Tube explaining how to test stators. http://www.google.ca...hc8Rhyw&cad=rja It could be the Voltage Regulator, but if it is, it's likely that you would have blown some or all of the lights on your sled.

I had a similar Beno, but orange in colour with black spots. My wife snagged and lost it a couple of years ago and I've looked everywhere for a replacement. I had great luck with it on smallmouth.

I really doubt that he was a real police officer. Undercover, no ID, gun already pulled. It was some crooks way of trying to score some drugs or valuables.

crappieperchunter, you are lucky to have choices and competition. Out here it's Bell or nothing and they love to put the screws to you. The only company I hate worse than Bell is Hydro One.

Did the lights get brighter then burn out. If so, you voltage regulator is shot. If the bulbs are still good, it could be a faulty lighting coil in the magneto.

That's exactly my thoughts. With the amount of time it takes to happen, I would suspect the fuel tank vent.

A friend of mine uses this adapter with a 24 volt cordless drill and his 7" Fin Bore auger and it works great. He doesn't need an extentsion because he can get right down to the ice surface with it. http://ca.wholesalesports.com/storefront/ice-fishing/augers-tools/nordic-electric-ice-drill-adapter/prod289020.html

Wishing everyone one a Happy Hogmanay and all the best in 2011.

Rough cut 2x10's is what I used. If the ice gets thick, I use the extention on my auger.

Nice looking hut. Just finished mine this fall. I'll have to take a few pictures to post

Fun times Simon. He's just a few months younger than my latest grandson. I can't wait to get him out fishing on his next visit.

This is the problem with common names and is the reason why the only true and correct way of identification of any species is through the use of Linnaean Taxonomy which uses latin (a dead language) to classifiy all species. So walleye/pickrel/zander etc. the only true name is Sander vitreus. But what ever the locals want to call them, they are delicious. Kingdom:Animalia Phylum:Chordata Class:Actinopterygii Order:Perciformes Family:Percidae Genus:Sander Species:S. vitreus

There's a lot of different view points on the ethics or practicality of feeding deer in the winter. The original question of this thread was whether "whitetail deer would eat alfalfa/grass mixed hay. The answer is yes and safely. Alfalfa hay and pure alfalfa pellets, as well, are used by various wildlife biologist in studies of all type of ungulates including deer. Below is a description of the methods use by the Starkey Project, which is a long term study into the interaction of ungulates such as deer and elk and the practices of agriculture, forestry and recreation industries in the state of Oregon. WINTER FEEDING PROCEDURES During the winter months deer and elk are fed to maintain a consistent body condition regardless of weather. Deer are fed 5 pounds of alfalfa hay or pellets per day and elk are fed 10 pounds of alfalfa hay or pellets per day. The average amount of hay is adjusted upward as the weather becomes colder or the snow becomes deeper. The hay and pellets are distributed in long lines throughout each pasture to prevent the larger, more aggressive males from dominating the food source. Also, deer and elk are fed separately so that elk don't dominate the food source. Pellets are also placed in feed troughs. Deer tend to utilize the pellets better than hay, and elk use both hay and pellets effectively. http://www.fs.fed.us...key/index.shtml That said. lew, your best approach and probably cheapest would be to provide the local deer population with a mineral block or salt lick.

My father had his lens replace due to cataracts back in 1998 and it was great for him. He had worn glasses his whole life and at the age of 71 he had almost 20/20 vision after the surgery. Definitely worth the money.

Bloat associated with Alfalfa primarily occurs when grazing cattle on pasture with a high concentration of alfalfa to grass and when the alfalfa is young. Cut as hay with hard grasses such as brome or tmiothy in the mix, it should pose no problems. If the farmer is feeding horses with this hay, it will pose no risk to deer.
