re: Doe missing a foot

I've had two three legged dogs. One of them you wouldn't believe how fast she could run. She could keep up with the four wheeler. Deer will probably be fine.
I went on Digitaka for the first time yesterday when my BIL told me about it. Just about everything on there is out of stock.

Update. I got a new one and plugged it in and it turned right on. The other one simply crapped out.

Did you start drinking at 5 am or was this residual from last night?

I would rather garmin from what I know, but I would have to change transducers increasing cost and work.

Am I wrong, can I just plug the lowrance transducer into the garmin? Not from what I see.

It is a 2021. I have already had one problem with it. It's in the shop currently. They said they found the problem and it was an "air lock" or an air bubble in a hose that was keeping it from peeing.

I can confirm that is not accurate. It does it every time. Even when you trim back up.

Following up on this I am looking at tickets and they don't have a ton of good info on the website. I would like to be able to have access to both inside and outside with a good view. Any one know which one of those "rooms" or levels accomplishes that?

Suzuki 300 Auto Trim

Posted by Murtown on 8/3/26 at 1:04 pm
I bought a blue wave with a 300 zuke on it. When I go to load it on the trailer and it hits resistance where the boat doesn't move like it wants the motor trims itself down. I have read that this is an auto trim feature.

The only way I have read to turn it off is through the electronic suzuki module in the dash, but mine has no settings for an auto trim. Does anyone know how to turn this off... Permanently?

Lowrance FS Elite 9

Posted by Murtown on 7/31/26 at 8:12 am
My electronics were working fine. Put the boat in the shop to get water pump changed. Get boat back and my Lowrance won't turn on. It has fire to it, screen just won't turn on. Every other single thing in the boat works fine. Anyone ever experience this? Did it just crap out? It's only 4 years old. Any advice?

CGS Hyperion

Posted by Murtown on 7/24/26 at 4:22 pm
I have a Ruger American Ranch Gen 2 in 300 blackout. The CGS Hyperion seems to be the best suppressor on the market for it. Nothing else I have seen even comes close, but they are in stock NOWHERE that I have been able to find. I guess demand outweighed production.

This will be my first suppressor and I want the best, but looking for any other suggestions. Those Hyperion videos are Hollywood quiet though and the PEW science is the best I've seen.

Help me out folks.

If you are fishing anywhere with any wind or waves at all you will be beat to death with any aluminum boat. Just telling you.
I've never sprayed a food plot in my life. Bush hog then disk. My dad doesn't even bush hog, just disks. Everything comes out fine. He probably spends the same amount of time, he just doesn't like to bush hog for some reason.

NOAA tide chart and forecast app

Anyone use this paid app? Is it worth it? Looking for good tide charts/wave intervals etc. Any other app suggestions?

What kind of mounts? Where did you get them? Pics of set up?

Kentucky Bourbon Trail

Me and the wife and another couple are heading to Kentucky for the LSU game in October. Leave on Wednesday morning. Looking for tips and must do's or don'ts on the Kentucky Bourbon trail. Probably staying in Lexington, but haven't really thought about it.

That is a cool site. Some seem scammy though. Almost every one I clicked on was left handed. Lots of bait and switch on the link descriptions too.

I am looking for a Ruger Ranch Gen II 300 blackout. I have seen a few on gunbroker, but looking to spend a little less than that. Anybody seen any deals? It seems pretty limited to me as it's a fairly new gun.
