    Investment options

    It's all pretty well been answered by others. There aren't any good places to stick money today and get a decent rate of return without taking some risk. Savings, accounts, CD's, etc. pay nearly nothing, and I'm not a fan of the online accounts either, prefer to deal with my local brick &...

    Need some walleye and crappie advice

    To me the classic crappie rig is a minnow under a slip bobber. They really like to hang around wood; sunken trees, brush piles, beaver lodges, etc. In absence of wood, try reed beds, cattail edges, etc. When you see surface temps around 62F, look for them in these type of structure, real...

    Boat Question

    I've got that same Yamaha motor on a 22' pontoon and an 18' Lund. It zips the aluminum Lund along at about 40-45 mph top speed, pontoon only goes about 25 mph with a light load. With you're boat being fiberglass and heavier, I wouldn't expect over about 35 mph tops. It will get you up and...

    Big woods whitetails

    Always thought one of those boat access hunts on Lake of the Woods in Canada or Minnesota would be fun.

    Coon

    In the midwest, any coon over 20# is a big one.

    Venison summer sausage

    I cut my meat in small chunks to feed grinder, put it all in a big tub and blend the spices in with the chunks, put tub in freezer for a while to get the meat about half froze, then grind. The grinding helps blend the spices into the meat evenly. We use the coarse grind plate for everything...

    What's your freezer stock like?

    We usually have a little excess that I wind up giving away as I start killing deer in the fall. Have several friends that appreciate it. Put four deer and a wild hog in the freezer, plus lots of fish. We're good for quite a while.

    Best .270 Ammunition

    I've always been pleased with the accuracy and effectiveness of good old Remington CoreLokts.

    Ok. Just for fun. What's the worst broad head you have ever used

    Three blade Spitfire, two blade Rage. I'm done with mechanicals after having a couple minor issues. You don't have minor issues with fixed blades.

    Turkey sights/scope

    Never saw the need for any type of optics on a turkey gun where your furthest shot is only going to be 30-40 yards.

    Good Old Gregg Ritz in trouble!

    I travel around deer hunting quite a bit and you wind up in camps with complete strangers who are also traveling. It's really shocking to me how many of these dudes ( a large percentage) don't even want the meat after they kill a deer. They give it away to one of those feel good programs or...

    Annual Texas hog hunt

    Hunted hogs near there a couple years ago. Can't remember the name of the ranch but it was owned by a well to do family who were the heirs of the gentleman that invented Shedds Spread (margarine). Beautiful piece of property right along the Red River, and they put us up in a huge log cabin...

    A .22 that matches your hunting rifle

    I like the Ruger 77-22, also have a Sako bolt action .22. These are about as close as I've found.

    Cost of hunting

    I've got friends that own Harleys and attend pro sporting events without giving it a second thought, yet they won't spend a dime to go on a little hunting or fishing trip. They say it's too costly. Many of the same guys will be glad to go for an opening weekend firearms deer hunt on my place...

    Regrets in life?

    I kinda wish I had done a hitch in the military. Just dicked around, worked and partied first several years out of high school anyway. Could have had some neat experiences in the military and there weren't any active wars I'd have been part of.

    What are you currently reading?

    Just finished Game of Snipers by Stephen Hunter. Good entertaining, quick read. Also just finished Profiles in Corruption by Peter Schweizer. Pretty painful reading how corrupt our politicians are.

    crazy low interest rates

    I think the only way re-fi makes sense is if you get a lower fixed rate at enough difference so that the savings in interest eats up any fees they charge for the re-fi work, and if you re-fi without extending the duration of your loan. This way you pay it off with a little less out of pocket...
