    BTW, wings aren’t tough so should be smoked at high temperatures.

    Crappie exactly what SD said, when I do wings whether it is on my yoder, weber kettle, or weber wsm I like to be in the 375degree range, hot and fast. Legs, thighs or whole chickens that are Spatchcocked I tend to be in the 300-325 range.
    Being you have a kettle, check out the bbq vortex https://vortexbbq.com/
    I have one and it is nice tool too have, I purchased my from Owens BBq in http://www.owensbbq.com/index.html

    I have had mine going on 15 years, they are little on the heavy side but I will take that over cold wet feet any day. They are a great boot.

    Okuma Deadeye series, they make about 23 different rods in this series, I have only used the bottom bouncer rods and would not use anything else. My $230 St.Croix bouncer rod is now a pike rod.

    The Toro Personal Pace mowers are awesome

    3rds
    Just picked up my Personal Pace Recycler this spring and I am very pleased so far. It is effortless to start and really easy to maneuver. If you go this route go to a toro dealer and not home depot.

    We built a frame and hung 2- 4’x 6’x 3/4″ rubber horse stall mats side by side. My problem wasn’t arrows hitting the garage, it was looking for arrows that missed the target and the 6ft high sewer mound that was behind it.

    Growing up in the Cypress Hills area in the SW corner of Saskatchewan I can remember there being sightings as far back as the early 70s. Sightings started to increase in the latter 90s. Sightings really started to increase in the early 2000s so they started a study. Now we have the highest or one of the highest cougar density in North America at 6 – 8.25 cougars per 100 sq km( 38 sq miles for you folk down there lol ). Our deer and elk herds have taken a pretty good hit and our #s are way down. They say a full grown cat will consume on average of 43 deer per year. It wasn’t till this year that they finally admitted(Sask Environment) there was an established breeding population. I think from 2004 to 2010 there were 12 cougars that were caught in snares or shot by landowners, from 2011 to present I will guarantee there has been over 50. This spring there was a lot of new born calves that were confirmed cougars kills, dogs and cats on farms and ranches have been taken literally on the front door step, as well in my hometown of Maple Creek. I do believe that they are an incredible animal and do not want to see them go away from my area but they do need to be managed and population kept in check or there is going to be something tragic happen and it is only a matter of time.
    Here is the link to study when it first started, and remember when reading this was done by a university student doing her doctorate and I think we should all just get along and there is no problem. She had a meeting with local ranchers on both sides of the border. She stated that there was around 25 cougars in the area and they told her that her #s were wrong cause they had shot or snared 30+ lol . Anyways sorry for the long rant if you want more info google cypress hills cougars, lots of reads

    Congrats on the awesome goat, what a toad. As long as the second prong doesn’t affect the 2nd circumference measurement you should be fine. Hell of a goat regardless of the overall score.

    The Weber Q series are awesome portables but they a little on the heavy side. I have the Q2200 and it is 41#s, but it is a great and well built. They make 5 different sizes. I would definitely give them a good look.

    I’m tempted to cut the hooks of the ends of those baits and possibly upsize the treble.

    Or use the Moonshine Shiver minnow, they don’t have the front hook. They seem to fall a lot quicker than the rap and action seems to feel a little different

    The Next Bite did a show on Last Mountain Lake, SK last fall using shiver minnows. We have been using them up here for a couple years. Give it a view, they show using them vertical and casting. Oh yay and they pound some pretty nice walleyes.

    Why would you spend that much money on a rod for pulling bb’s and 3 ways?

    X2 on what Pounder has said. I would look at the okuma deadeye BB rod, they are 8’6″ telescopic and are an unbelievable rod. You should be able to find them for under $100 down there.

    If the rut is in full swing the decoys are an absolute blast. All I have to say is when the first one comes racing across the wide open towards you at 50+ mph hold your ground because I guarantee you that your gonna want to bail out from behind the decoy cause you are gonna get run over LOL. My biggest advice would be to practice lots of shooting from various kneeling positions(one knee down, two knees down), and from sitting. Also practice your speed at getting drawn, sighted and the shot off. Get good at range estimating cause your not going to have a time to range, draw, and shoot(not to mention all the moving to do so).
    Like I said if the rut is going it is going to be fun. If the rut is not going strong it could be tough and don’t be surprised if the decoy you are behind is a cow cause it does work. Good Luck and enjoy

    What is your pb walleye?

    15.3#s, it was 33.5″ in length. I caught it while pre-fishing for the fall tournament in the river portion of the lake in 1998. I have been fishing and hunting up here since mid 90’s and moved here in 06.

    Do you fish Tobin often?

    Yes, I live in Nipawin, river portion of the lake is 2 miles down the road from my house. I tend to fish mostly on the lake throughout the summer, then into the river in the fall. The fall fishing has not been great the last few years on the river, but has been really good on the lake.

    If you have a buddy or a friend of a friend that locates U/G Utilities(power, telephone, natural gas) it may cost you a jug of something. They would just have too hook up at the power source of fence or the fence would have to be on at the time of locating. You could also call to have U/G lines on property located because you are wanting to do some digging on property, request a site meet and just ask the locator they send out if he could find it. A buddy or a friend of a friend is your best option though.

    Passports are the way to go, make sure you or girlfriend have clean records(DUI, drunk/disorderly, ect..). It can turn the trip south real quick if you do, you may not get in or it will be a nightmare and hoops to jump through. I am assuming you would be coming in through Pembina/Emmerson border crossing so it wouldn’t hurt to give them a call and ask what is best or required. This is the ph# at Emmerson: 1-800-461-9999. You can also go to this site to look at entry requirements
