    San Diego Long Range Fishing Help

    Thanks for the trip analysis. That trip will be in your memory forever. I'm very jealous. I lost my son 16 years ago to a drug overdose (heroin) and miss him dearly. He died at 25 in Denver. I was in Pittsburgh at the time. My point wasn't to elicite sympathy from anybody, but to just say, life...

    Montana Judge Says Landowners Don’t Have ‘Absolute Freedom’ to Kill Elk, and Allowing Public Hunting Doesn’t Infringe on Their Rights

    And more importantly, the judge said: when you bought the land, you should have known that there were elk on the land. You bought it at your own risk. That is stunningly obvious but needed to be said by the judge.

    Montana Judge Says Landowners Don’t Have ‘Absolute Freedom’ to Kill Elk, and Allowing Public Hunting Doesn’t Infringe on Their Rights

    The Elk B tag only allows me to take a cow on private land. Change this so I can take a cow with that tag on USFS land!! I asked Game commission,: do you think the elk know where the property boundries are? If one wonders over on to public land, why shouldn't that tag be good?

    Lead Sled Issues

    What Ive used for 20 years is somewhat similar. I ditched the kead sled and went back to my old timey process. Hadn't had any issues.

    It loosened the butt stock on my Browning BAR Safari in .338 win mag. Boy, was I lucky I didn't use the LS that much. Phew.

    Meat transport back home

    Make sure to line up places that sell dry ice, if you don't bring a freezer and small generator. I got an elk from Montana to Florida (a 4 day drive) 2 years ago in a 160 qt Yeti. Bought 85lbs of dry ice in Great Falls. When I arrived home I still had 10lbs of dry ice left in the cooler.

    San Diego Long Range Fishing Help

    I have fished for yellowedge grouper in 525' of water here out of Ponce Inlet on the east coast of Florida. Let me tell ya, when you have to reel in a heavy 1lb jig from that depth, it gets old. Have fished for golden tiles in 600-700' of wate, near the gulf stream where the current may be...

    San Diego Long Range Fishing Help

    I'm afraid that they wouldn't let you on the boat with a fly rod my friend. Just talked with the charter master this afternoon, and a Tiagra 50wlrs loaded with 150lb braid and 200lb flouro topshot, with 1000 yards of line total, is standard operating procedure. There are 23 guys on this 105'...

    San Diego Long Range Fishing Help

    I found out that Shelter Island public boat ramps have a fish cleaning area/tables. I have always cleaned my own fish and 150 deer. Hell, even if I get a 300lb yellowfin, it won't be that hard to take off 4 filets. I have my own huge Smith portable fish bag, a 160 qt Yeti, and a 200qt Coleman...

Im diabetic, so if I have 1 glass of wine every 3-6 mos, Imreally partying. LOLOL. Not a big eater also. In fact I avoid anything...

    San Diego Long Range Fishing Help

    How about the Red Rooster III and the Vagabond? What about the summer months for a LR trip? What if I did two 10-day trips in the summer back to back with a week rest in between? What kind of fish at that time of year do the boats catch? Do they still go down to Mexico?

    San Diego Long Range Fishing Help

    Good info. Thanks. I'm retired, so time of year doesn't really matter. Although I will try to put in for a Montana antelope tag for next year, so Oct/Nov may not be doable. Somebody suggested getting on to DBOUTDOORS, short for Bloody Decks. I got there and posted some questions, and like here...

    Lead Sled Issues

    Bingo. I'm now using it at the range to hold an extra rifle. Kind of a very expensive rifle "Vise"

    Lead Sled Issues

    No. The rifle would be fairly loose and flop around. The DFT2, which I bought, actually has a barrel strap. The butt part needs a towel or whatever to hold the rifle steadier. The issue is that the sed affects the barrel harmonics by not letting the rifle move more freely.

    Lead Sled Issues

    Well, I finally got a tiny break in the heat and humidity and got out this morning to do a 2nd check on the rifles I'll be taking up to Montana in the Fall for elk and mule deer season. I think I settled in on the Browning BLR's in .300 win mag with Federal Premium 180gr Trophy Copper and a...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    As a deer friend, who covered me from the futures desk at Goldman said, "BOTTOM PICKERS GET STINKY FINGERS".
