    30-06 vs .270

    Guns and gun calibers are like tools... you should use the right tool for a right job. I purchased a used 30.06 Remington 760 many years ago because I too wanted a "do it all" caliber for my trips North to Burks Falls but sold it due to lack of use as I'm retired on a farm where my .22/.250 gets...

    Walkie talkie weather and waves?

    I am next to positive that the report issued by the CCG for wave height is measured as "trough to crest". Not sure what you mean by "under draw" ? Under tow ? Went to check on your question using my handheld Uniden Voyager model VHF radio and the battery finally packed it in. Doesn't want to...

    30-06 vs .270

    I concur with @DaveJ . The 30.06 is the best way to go.

    Off Topic Last kick at the can.

    I heard Walleye was going for 15-16 bucks a pound and Perch were 22-23 bucks a pound ?

    Communication on the water

    I always thought Channel 68 on a VHF radio is the "go to" for fishing chit-chat while out on the water and of course this website when ashore ?

    Off Topic Windows 10 computers going by-bye

    Never liked Windows 10 anyways and doubt Windows 11 will be any better. I have a 7 year old ASUS laptop, is it upgradeable ? Would hate to have to lay out another 700 bucks as like Trevor I'm on a fixed income too. And what the heck are they doing to Outlook ? Their new version is crap too !

    Communication on the water

    A year ago I read in the newspaper that Norfolk County gave the go ahead to having a new cell tower erected at Regional Road #23 and the 1st Conc. and after tracking down the company (which happens to do a lot of work for Bell ) did not get a reply to my query as to when it would be operating...

    Surface Drive Horse Power pick?

    True, a 14 foot tinnie with a 20HP is as close as you will get to an "all around perfect boat" for hunting Long Point but... there is no one perfect boat. Hence to get back in there where the puddlers are landing you need a mud motor or if you are after divers you are going to need something a...

    Surface Drive Horse Power pick?

    Your average 14 foot jon boats carrying capacity is 600 pounds as opposed to your average 14 foot tinnie capacity of 1000 pounds and it doesn't take long to fill those numbers with all the gear we take out hunting. Jon boats don't have the freeboard like a regular tinnie and can ship water way...

    Gun transfer made easy !

    As @trky chsr stated, they just validate that the PAL's are okay and no question about the firearm other than it is a non-restricted type. They did ask about our birthdate and where we were born and confirmed our email and residence address. I think it helped that we did this together at my...

    Gun transfer made easy !

    Sold a gun to a friend recently and followed the new rule (new to me ?) that you must call the CFO (1-800-731-4000) and validate your PAL and his PAL in order to get a Transfer Validation number. No problem but considering I called on a Friday afternoon 1545hrs to be exact and got through to a...

    Surface Drive Horse Power pick?

    I myself would not recommend a 1436 square bow jonboat after having a bad experience with one. I use a regular 14 foot tinnie with a 16 HP longtail Go-Devil as it holds more gear/weight, is more stable to drive and the Bow cuts through any waves. To answer your question about HP ? Go as big as...

    Channel Access in Turkey Point

    Hi there Speedy Turtle ! I have gone looking through the web for info regarding access to the CWS Thoroughfare Tract and cannot find the article that I spoke of that stated fishing was allowed so I would highly advise checking with CWS office or pay strict attention to any signs that may be...

    Some good news for gun owners

    So does that mean there is another 87,749 people that won't be voting Liberal ? LoL !

    Channel Access in Turkey Point

    I would assume all normal fishing reg's apply to the Crown marsh or the CWS Thoroughfare Tract but a phone call to the MNR office in Aylmer would give you a positive answer. Like I said the CWS Thoroughfare Tract lies within the boundary lines of the Fish Sanctuary so it may be off limits also.

    Sad day at homd today

    My condolences. I too have been down that road on many an occasion and it's always a sad trip.

    HELP .. I need a kick!

    While two strokes weigh less compared to 4 stroke of the same HP is a Plus, they like to run fast&hot for best performance and the 4 cycle will putt-putt all day so maybe a minus ? Two stroke means a separate fuel tank whereas you could run the 4 stroke off the main fuel tank but what if your...

    FMZ 19 declared fish sanctuary for 2024 due to itchy algae reproduction concerns!?!?

    Never, never never dip your lure into skanky water !
