    self taught lesson in humility

    Had a couple of hours for a quick hunt today, so I thought I would start by finishing a small corner of a school tot lot that I had hunted about ten days ago. It has little to no activity in it this time of year so I figured to clean it up before school starts again. I usually hit this chip lot...

    It's hard to be humble!

    About 85 miles from me is a small town with a nice little park that gets pretty heavy use, especially during tourist season. As a bonus there is a popular hamburger joint across the street. I travel through there every so often and have always wanted to give it a hunt, but never had the time to...

    question for the knowledgeable (smart) members

    I use both the tracker IV and the pioneer 505. The 10 inch magnum coil will work on both of these machines, to give them a little more punch. However the 11 inch dd coil will only work on the 505. Has anyone had any comparative use of these coils? In the esteemed experience of the more learned...

    tracker IV does well!

    Saw darkflights post on the performance of his tracker IV with the 10" coil and just had to post how good a machine it is for tot lots.
