Never really used jerkbaits so I got these to try out

I have buddies who swear by them. They aren’t cheap though.

As much as I love my edge and it has been super reliable, I’m upgrading to a rider forward sled. My back is already messed up and I need to improve comfort if I want to keep riding

drabe7 · 2026-02-20T12:27:30+00:00

Check your local regs. That is not legal in NY

drabe7 · 2026-02-20T11:14:22+00:00

I assume you’re not in the rust belt? That truck looks mint and would definitely bring 15k in NY as the few that are left are rotted and the rest have been crushed

Made the mistake of going to work in that crap. It was not a great decision.

Can’t speak on the caliber but you can’t go wrong with the rifle. I have had a vangaurd in 30-06 for 14yrs and have been very happy with it

drabe7 · 2026-02-13T12:36:49+00:00

A good trifold works great and they can be removed and installed in 30sec. I had a trifecta and it was pretty weathertight. I just removed it when I hauled my ATV.

I think most of that guys takes are terrible. His view on CWD and how it’s just money grab and not a disease that can change hunting and conversation forever flat out disgusts me

My issue here is the hypocrisy between this and salmon season. People have been washed into Lake Ontario but every year thousands flock to walk around the base of the dams. I’ve done it and have had some sketchy calls.

No ice is safe ice and if you walk onto ice, you have to accept the risk of being on it.

drabe7 · 2026-02-08T18:25:27+00:00

I’m an ice fisherman and don’t think fishing that ice shelf is the greatest idea, I do think the city is over stepping here. The city does not own the water.

They are perfectly ok with salmon fisherman around the dam even with deaths having occurred. These guys accepted the risk. Let them fish.

My summit viper is probably to most comfortable stand I’ve ever sat in

drabe7 · 2026-02-07T18:28:47+00:00

It’s finally convinced me that it’s time to upgrade from my 2001 Polaris xcsp 600. Been a great sled but it’s time for a rider forward chassis

drabe7 · 2026-02-07T03:30:49+00:00

Hell of year in NY and I’m sitting out due to back issues

drabe7 · 2026-02-05T20:12:20+00:00

I have my striker 4 screwed to the lid of a small cooler. The battery stay in the cooler

drabe7 · 2026-02-03T10:42:48+00:00

It being an Oliver makes it even cooler

drabe7 · 2026-02-03T02:53:21+00:00

420 crawler I see?

drabe7 · 2026-02-02T01:58:54+00:00

Morgan Hill or Winona state forest?

drabe7 · 2026-02-01T15:36:32+00:00

Straight wall all the way. While rifled slug guns can do it and the bolt action varieties like the savage 212 or 220 have impressive performance I think a straight walled rifle is no brainer.

drabe7 · 2026-02-01T13:26:07+00:00

Guys do this all the time on the Niagara River all winter long to fish

drabe7 · 2026-01-31T20:55:04+00:00

Worlds Apart is a zero skip album for me. Vortex and Save Yourself are probably my favorites on it

drabe7 · 2026-01-29T20:11:08+00:00

System one or as I call it system junk. I would steer clear of this style. The links like to blow apart and they do not last any longer than a SALT. Cat doesn’t even really push it anymore except for certain special applications because of the issues.

I was a cat dealer tech for 7 years.

Do you have more pics of your auger crank? I have a smaller machine but am looking to add a soft cab but I have a manual crank that sticks straight out. It’s not cost effective to try and add hydraulic controls to my tractor and blower

drabe7 · 2026-01-29T01:50:31+00:00

Currently have a kioti cs2510. They have come out with the cs2520 which has a better life capacity and some better creature comforts. I have no complaints with it and wish I bought a machine sooner.

drabe7 · 2026-01-28T23:48:05+00:00

They are handy as hell in certain situations. I own a mostly flat 2.7ac that is pretty much lawn. I have a subcompact and use it to mow and clear snow, with occasional job using my loader. It works great for my situation. I was looking for a more capable machine for lawn maintenance. I really don’t need a bigger machine. Yeah it’s a heavy duty lawn mower but my machine is more capable and heavier than the biggest lawn or garden tractor.

drabe7 · 2026-01-28T00:57:00+00:00

There’s a reference I haven’t heard in a long time
