UFOs
I've not seen a UFO, therefore I can't make a claim that they exist...... same with Sasquatch and the abominable Snowman.

I've always said, a 243 is a little light for Whitetail......257 minimal. Imo

Boating safety idea.
If all fisherman reacted the way you did, we'd all feel a little safer. ? I'm an advocate of boat safety and wish everyone would take it seriously. Life jackets on at all times on my boat and no alcohol.

Whats The Favored Caliber/Cartridge For Deer?
I stand corrected..... it's 87 grain. My apologies, it was an 87 grain. His shot was an estimated 60-70 yards. Apon field dressing the deer, the bullet took out the heart and disintegrated leaving no exit and not a single drop of blood. Not sure of his powder load but it's compressed. I prefer a.308 150 grain and always see blood, lots of it.

Hard Jerkbaits : Bait Cast or Spinning Set Up ?
Much prefer a baitcaster for Jerkbaits. The use of spinning tackle increases the chance of line tangle with the trebles.

Whats The Favored Caliber/Cartridge For Deer?
My long time buddy who I hunt and fish with has always been about speed " hot loads " as he refers. This past hunting season he shot a very large mature Buck with a .243 120gr VMAX. Luckily it was shot in the middle of a cornfield as the deer never left a single drop of blood. Shot placement was perfectly placed behind front shoulder and if it wasn't for the deers large size and stumbling, it would have been difficult to find. I happen to locate the deer 20 yards inside of a dense thicket simply by churned up soil.

A Karen, Ken, Crank, or Hooligan story?
I live in a rural area and have never encountered a Karen. BUT have been endlessly entertained by those who think they own the water via YouTube. A Karen can be either sex ? Correct ?

What do you use to cut braid?
Noticed the " 6 years later " but the artillery required to cut braid still applies ?

Can't add files???
Reloading the site and re-entering password fixed the issue. This allowed me to go back to my original pick..... Philly in a close one.

'The Things I've Done to Retrieve a Lure'
Losing baits is all apart of the process, we're going to lose a few. I just grab another reel and keep fishing.

The braided line dilemma
These threads pop up every so often and I'm always amazed. I've been using 15# Power pro braid on all my spinning reels and 20# on all casting reels, never a dig. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but a big fish doesn't cause it. Would love to experience it just once to say I did.

What tactic have you completely given up on?
Another vote for Carolina Rig. Honorable mention - Chatterbait. I snagged my last Chatterbait last year and was completely OVERWHELMED with Joy.

It's a 2022 from East side Marine. Lowe has a $1500 rebate on the 2022's.

Hammerless lever action is sweet, and very nice looking rifles. I've had several Savage rifles and shotguns and have been impressed.
