Just my 2 cents worth---I have an 86 VR that I bought new and that dipstick did not come in my tool kit. -
Hope everything goes well Annie,keep smileing and remember we are all praying for a fast recovery.

Good thing your making it--Someone else would drink it before it got put in the bottles. Fill the trailer with ice and load it up with apple pie for Don's MD. Good idea Cindy. Sooo, how did it turn out?

Thanks---I read and watch alot of hunting. I blood trail every deer that I have shot even if it falls in site. You can never learn enough. Bowhunting is up close and personal, the more time you spend around deer and watching them in the woods the more you learn,and then you still make mistakes. I try to practice deer management but its hard when the neighbors shoot any deer within range. Why fill a doe tag with a 2 yr old that has alot of yrs left to produce more offspring. Anyway guys, Thanks for the input. I have been rereading alot of the articals that I have saved on decoying and I will probably get one. It just another tool to use to get that old mossey horns closer for the shot. Gil

I have passed up young 8 pointers that were 2 or 3 just to let them mature. If I shoot a buck that is young, I try to pick one that does not have the genetics to grow large antlers. 3 yrs ago another hunter was not allowed to hunt on a private farm because he shot a 10 pointer the yr before that was 2 yrs old. only had 4 inch G2 tines and pencil thin. That left onlyl me hunting that farm Could the rest of you hunters imagine what he would have been like at 4 or 5. If he would have lived that long without connecting with a car or another hunter on neihboring farms.

Thats the main reason I have been delaying buying a decoy. But, if it brings in the big boy that one time for the shot..........

I have not used a decoy and my best trick for getting old buck to close the gap is a snort weez. I don't us a factory call, just my mouth, and do it very seldom. Over use of a grunt call or rattling horns is probably the biggest mistake I've made in the past. I grunt, bleat,snort wheez and fawn call with my mouth when they are close in. Your right, most hunters overdue it with the rattleing and calling. If you want to have some excitment, destress fawn call to the does and watch them come running in to kick a** and save the fawn.

Thanks--Just got a 10 acre parcel to myself with a small pond on it. The deer seem to be traveling thru. He also has about 8 apple tree's near the pond.

Its not scent,movement or anything I can figure except the old bucks just being cautious. I spot them way out and quit rattleing, only grunt once in a great while to get their attention back. I have mixed feelings about spending the money on a decoy. The one time I did have a big 8 point 20 yrd from me after rattleing was because I had rattled in a spike and forkhorn that were in front of me. He seen them and came on in. Lucky for him, he stayed behind a downed tree and no shot. I realize that most of the time I would be carrying it in and out because we don't have alot of 4 yr olds and older running around, but at least once a yr during the rutt I have an old bruiser hang up out of range and walk off David--Thanks Just thinking alittle ahead.

Sure glad you already knew what you were doing. Should have guessed that tho. Hope you find a member to weld it for you.

Thats the insert that goes into hitch that the ball is on. As far as the wireing--I know there is a post on how to do it somewhere on the site. Someone may jump in here also that knows more about it.

Any bowhunters here that use a decoy ? Is it worth it to buy one ? I have rattled in a few real big 8 and 10 pointers, only to have them hang up about 40 or more yards out. The 1 1/2 to 2 year old 4,6,and 8 pts. seem to come on in.
-
Did you actually add 4 feet to the tongue lengh ? That seems like alot. The tongue should be between 1 1/2 to 2 times longer than the width of the axle ( measure center of tire to center of tire ) The tongue weight is the most important factor and how you load the trailer. Even weight on both sides of the trailer.

Annie---You can just bring them with you. You need to be there

Drink plenty of water take an extra 10 min after fuel up to stretch I always try to fuel up just before going thu a large city, nothing worse than stuck in traffic jam and low on gas. I hate getting off inside a city for fuel. Just relax and enjoy--if you ride stiff, you tire more quikley Check out the 2 lane state rts. sometimes its only a few miles more and maybe 1/2 hr. longer ride. ( If you have the time ) Enjoy your first long trip

Wife says we are to old to start camping on the bike again (use to tent) I think she just likes the jazcuzzi tubs in the hotels. Trying to talk her into it thou. And if I do buy it, it will take away from my new bike fund. Always run into deals at the wrong time.

Driver painting nails kills biker at stoplight.
BuckShot replied to FutureVentures's topic in Watering Hole
We all hate to see something like this happen to a biker let alone anyone, from a child walking to someone else in a car. In today's world, most people think it is their right to drive--Everyone should remember that it is a priveledge. Sad but true, accidents do happen. But when they happen because of gross neglegence, the courts need impose a very stiff penelty. The fact that the family could file a civil suit and gain some monitary value does not replace her life,and the insurance company would be paying, not the unintelegent woman that caused the accident. If the monetary value is more than what the insurance will cover, then and only then would she be responsable for the balance. Where do the judges draw the line---is taking a drink of water gross negligence while driving? How many of us men are guilty of taking a second glance at a pretty woman walking on the sidewalk. You have just been distracted from your driving. We need to be careful what we wish for. Every year priveledges and rights get more confusing. Sometimes for the worse.
