I bought a portable closet on Amazon which had shelves and places to hang stuff up on and it zips up then I bought a little ozone generator from Amazon as well. The scent crusher closet puts out around 500mg an hour I believe and the one I bought puts out around 600. It says it's for purifying water or something odd. I put the ozone generator in the top since it's supposed to be heavier and fall and I put a little fan in the bottom to help circulate it. I have maybe $80 in it. Keeps all my clothes nice and tidy as well. The ozone generator has a little timer on it so I can set it for 30 minutes after I'm done hunting or usually I just set it for 30 minutes when I get up then get in the shower and get ready. I think the scent crusher is awesome but I can't justify the cost when I could get something similar for a fraction of the price. I use them now but, I'd like to steer away from them. Deeply considering getting a scent crusher closet for storage and a scent tote for transportation to and from the woods.

I have an old gravely promaster 100 that I bought a few years ago. It has the Kohler Magnum 18 in it. From what I can find they stopped making it in about 96 so it's at least that old.
I would agree blade speed is something I would really look at. I used to use a Toro time cutter z5000 and if the blades were slightly dull it would only cut on the upswing of each blade so each pass you would have 3 cut paths and 3 paths that the grass just stood up. I had to sharpen the blades all the time.
Something else I didn't think much about is access to everything. Which one let's you get the top of the deck sprayed out easier and access to engine. My neighbor bought a bad boy and said he has access panels to the entire motor and the foot deck folds open so you can clean and fix anything on top of the deck. I can never get all the crud out of the pulleys and blades on mine.

I've been with them for a while now as well. So much better than when we were with ATT. We bought our phones on eBay. Just make sure they are 3g 4g LTE for Verizon network and you are ready to go. My uncle checked his Verizon phone before switching from Verizon and it said it wasn't capable of switching. He cancelled his plan through Verizon and his phone was unlocked and he transferred it to total wireless. It's like $62.99 with taxes on the $57 plan.
You'd be surprised at what a nice phone costs when you buy it outright on eBay or similar stores when you don't have to pay Verizon and don't have to finance it for 30 months. I bought a Kyocera Brigadier slightly used in great shape for about $70 and my wife bought an LG G4 ( when they just came out with the G5) for $125. No monthly payment on either phone rolled into the bill. I couldn't stomach a $150 phone bill every month for something you use to talk and text people. I was ready to get rid of a cell phone.

I would prefer to not have to take the reel off every time I transport it. I have seen a few of the 6" PVC tubes which may be an option. It sounds like you can fit maybe 5-6 rods in there. I thought about taking a PVC tube and having screw in caps on each end then gluing in 4 2" tubes inside to separate the 4 rods. This would let me insert 2 from each end and not crowd too many reels on one side. Went to Home Depot last night and for the cost of doing it this way I may as well look for a pelican case or similar. I’m just thinking if you bought some inch or inch and a half pvc and put it all together then attached something to keep the reel pulled right against the tube you would be good. I’d say just look on google at diy rod holder that may be the way I go. I would really like to have the reels be protected but am more worried about the rod tips.

I am trying to find a rod holder/ carrier for this summer that can handle 4 rods. I used to be one that would throw them in the bed of my truck and go but as my rods get nicer and more expensive I don't want to have this as my normal transport. I also have two rods that my grandpa made for me that would be a shame not to use but I would feel terrible if the tip broke on either of them. I've looked for some rod holders and it seems like they are all for 2 piece rods (relatively inexpensive) or are a single airline type of carrier (cost a small fortune). Anyone have anything or seen anything out there that would be a nice way to protect and carry a few rods? Are you wanting to protect the reel also or just he rod I would prefer to not have to take the reel off every time I transport it. I have seen a few of the 6" PVC tubes which may be an option.

I haven't used them yet but A&L Great Lakes in Fort Wayne does soil testing. You can choose which tests you would like to have completed if you want to go above and beyond their basic tests. If I remember right their website shows all the tests and the prices of each. The company I work for does some other things with them. Wasn't A&L bought by Waypoint in Memphis, TN? Not sure about that. I can ask next time I talk with them.

I've got a 5 or 6 year old SONY Surround Sound system that the rear speakers no longer work. The little green power light is lit on the receiver but the speakers have zero sound coming out of them. These the wireless receiver and speakers. I've checked all wiring and connections and cant figure it out. Any ideas or suggestions? TIA.... WW Swap with the front ones and see if they work? That's a good idea to make sure they work. Also I think those are generally Bluetooth. I would see if there is a way to re-pair the speakers to the main unit or not.

You are good to go unless you live in an "A" county then you have to wait until it comes in.. Tag it as a land owner "bonus antlerless". Thanks! Just seemed some places said no way you can shoot a doe then other places it said you can shoot a doe.

So talking with several people they keep telling me that on private ground you can shoot a doe with a rifle. I got a buck with my bow but would like to get a doe yet for the freezer.
I've only ever used my bow in the past but would like to use my rifle during firearms season. I am planning to use my landowner exemption so I don't believe I need to purchase a bonus antlerless tag unless that's not possible.
I see conflicting things (maybe) such as this from the dnr site:
What can I shoot with a Firearms license?
A Firearms license allows you to harvest one antlered deer only during the Firearms Season.
Is a Bonus Antlerless License valid for all seasons?
No. The Bonus Antlerless License is valid for the Archery, Firearms, Muzzleloader, and Late Antlerless seasons only, and it is valid only for antlerless deer (See Property Restrictions). The Bonus Antlerless License cannot be used to fulfill the Deer Reduction Zone bag limi
Licenses
Can I use my Firearms License to take an antlerless deer?
No. The Firearms License can only be used to harvest an antlered deer and can only be used during the Firearms Season
Do I have to buy a Firearms, Archery, or Muzzleloader License before I buy a Bonus Antlerless License?
No. The Bonus Antlerless License can be purchased separately.
Do I have to shoot an antlered deer before I shoot an antlerless deer? (or vice versa)
Yes and No. There is no required sequence in harvesting deer for statewide seasons (youth, archery, firearms, muzzleloader). If a hunter is using aDeer Reduction Zone license in a Deer Reduction Zone, the hunter must take an antlerless deer with a Deer Reduction Zone license prior to taking an antlered deer. The "earn-a-buck" requirement only applies to Deer Reduction Zone bag limits, which are in addition to statewide bag limits.
How many bonus licenses can I use?
There is no statewide limit for bonus antlerless deer. You may not take more than the bonus antlerless county quota for bonus antlerless deer in any specific county. Antlerless deer harvested with archery, crossbow, muzzleloader, or deer reduction zone licenses do not count as bonus antlerless deer. Antlerless deer harvested using a deer bundle license may apply to the bonus antlerless county quota depending in which season you harvest the deer. Any antlerless deer harvested in firearms season counts towards your bonus antlerless county quota. For more information, see the Indiana Hunting & Trapping Guide.
Is my Bonus Antlerless License valid for the Firearms Season?
Yes. The Bonus Antlerless License can be used during the Firearms Season using any legal firearm. For counties designated as "A", a bonus antlerless license is valid beginning the last four days of the firearm season. (See Property Restrictions)

I use it on my boots. I don't really have anything with me personally. I told my neighbor about it and he tried it since he doesn't have good access to some of his stands and he swears by it now. He said he used to have deer stop when they hit his travel path and since using it he has seen deer walk right past without stopping or looking alarmed. I grabbed some more cans from gander when they were like $5 so I'll keep using it.

Biggest one for me is wired to hunt followed by 100% wild then toss up between Randy Newberg and meat eater. Also Shane Mahoney has some decent stuff if your looking for some deep conservation stuff. He just has a voice and way of telling a story that's hard to walk away from.

To start with I have a tru ball release that I got when I bought my first bow about 5 years ago. I just thought a release was a release. I don't have any issues shooting up to about 35 yards where a shot that "feels" bad is still only a couple inches off center. I'm trying to stretch my distance out more during my practice and am noticing I just don't get a good feel with this release and it's starting to really mess up my shot. The release does not have an adjustable trigger pull and it is super light weight as in if I put my finger on the trigger it may just go off because it is so light. This causes me to not put my finger on the trigger until I am ready to fire and then I essentially reach for the trigger. When I do that I inevitably either start pull the bow to the left (I'm right handed) or I let the bow off the back wall which isn't good either. I usually know what happens before the arrow hits the target but this is really making practice not much fun. I am thinking I need something with an adjustable trigger that I feel confident in having my finger there that I have to pull with a couple pounds to release it. My current release does not let me try to use back tension as I cannot put any pressure on the trigger. It's almost like the only way to fire this is by keeping an open hand and slapping the trigger when ready.
My current setup is a compound bow with wrist strap trigger style release. I think I want to stay with this style vs going to a thumb trigger or back tension release.

Yea my rates went up due to higher payouts by the insurance company. I've never had a claim in my life but that doesn't matter much.
