Sorry for your loss Dan.

Well Carl.....it will hibernate in my freezer.......but I'm thinking some might just make it's way to the next Venture gathering BBQ that you host this summer!

I've got it bad. Was using my bikes pics on my computer at home and at work as my wallpaper and screensavers....got too depressed and changed them.

Man, that brings back memories......looks just like my very first Venture.

And there's no saying I have to get that all from just one hog. I feel it's my civic duty to assist in keeping the hog population in check....

Rob, that's great news! Glad to hear it.

I spoke with the Canadian Border Service yesterday and was quite surprised....it would actually be more of a hassle if I was hunting with a proper hunting licence and tag.....since I'm hunting the problematic wild hog and am on private property, I do not require a licence. The meat will be butchered, deboned and wrapped and frozen. The Border Service compares it to me crossing the border and going to the butcher....the limit if 20kgs (44lbs) per person so I just need to find the cheapest shipping method from Florida to NY State and I'll pick it up there when I leave the airport. Looking forward to it.

We are flying in. I am in the process of checking with the Canadian Border Services to see what they say. I'm flying from Buffalo so I'm thinking I might ship it to my cousin who is about one hour from there....he can keep if frozen for me and then when I land I can pick it up from there and take it the rest of the way in my vehicle. I guess it all hinges on what the border people have to say.

That's partially why I'm looking for someone with an "in" somewhere......I wouldn't be shipping the entire pig.....just the good parts! Wild biker chicks, you say?? Hmmmmm.......

Will be in Florida in about 2 1/2 weeks and am hoping to get some wild pig hunting in. The boar I shot last year was not worth the cost and time to butcher and ship back up to the Great White North, but I'm hoping to harvest something better this time. Wondering if anyone has any experience or connections in transporting/shipping that could offer some advice or assistance in getting that meat home. Thanks.

This is the third bike that I have had it on, and love it.

Good info guys, thanks.

Will be visiting friends in Florida early February, staying in a huntcamp in The Big Cypress for 3-4 days (hopefully get in some hog hunting with the bow ), and then heading off with the warden for the remaining 3-4 days in a rented car. Not sure if we should head toward Naples or to Ft. Lauderdale area. Can anyone from the area suggest some sites to see, things to do in either of those areas? Thanks

Not sure if these guys carry them but they're closer and gave me a good deal on my last few batteries that I bought from them: The Battery Shop, 1-800-467-9275 or 519-653-1193. They're in Cambridge.

MartinA.....I just purchased an 06 last fall and love it....carb syncing is easy to do....and you're only couple hours from Kitchener, so we can "get er done". BTW that's about what I paid for mine with just under 45k and if you pick the 06 Black Cherry, you....and I...will have the prettiest bikes around!

Or a twin that was seperated at birth!

Powerful stuff.....did something to my computer screen....made the picture go all fuzzy!

Must be from that fresh lake breeze down your way!! Bwahahahaha!!

Wow!

Yup.....still on the green side of the sod.

Will consider that Bobby...thanks.

Found what I needed on a Cyber-Monday sale...all is good.

I'll have a look....my concern is that I want the scent control material that UA and ScentLok use.

Can't say I'm familiar with that product. Have to have a look for it. Anybody have any links to who sells them?

....was disappointing. Crossed the border to visit family in NY state and then went to do some Black Friday shopping in Erie, PA. Was looking for hunting clothing and accessories...very dissapointed.....was there by about 11:00am Friday.....the selection was already picked over...not much of anything that was actually on sale was left. What was left was not on sale. I had priced out some Under Armour baselayer clothing for our cold weather hunting here, and was amazed and very dissapointed to find that, not only was it not on sale, it was actually artificially priced higher then north of the border! Next year, I'll let the women go to Kohl's again and I'll stay home and go hunting.
