Re: Cecil the Lion - How things change
Hunting isnt the biggest threat to them, our over population on the earth is. Without a value placed on african animals, the majority of them would have been extinct long ago. Value placed on animals and more specifically to their body parts have been directly linked to their population decline in ...

Re: Cecil the Lion - How things change
I feel like I am seeing more political commentary in posts now than in years past but that could just be my perception. Reading how only one political party (regardless of how you vote) could possibly do what's best for a country is short sighted and exhausting. I should have known better than to ta...

Re: Cecil the Lion - How things change
The way I look at it, if it's legal, then who are we to condemn someone who is willing to pay up to $20,000 for a hunting adventure. So when the Liberal government legalizes recreational marijuana use, you won't condemn those smoking it provided they pay good money to do so? I mean, that is your ph...

Re: For you hight teck stuff. Cool new unit
IBobber. Same thing. Less than half the price of the deeper. http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/ibobber-the-castable-bluetooth-smart-fish-finder/6000189134895 Build to catch fishermen not fish. iBobber is a single frequency design, the deeper model is dual frequency (15?, 55? cone angles). iBobber has a r...

Re: For you hight teck stuff. Cool new unit
I use my phone all day in my small boat to plot GPS points and am never worried about dropping it overboard. Either way if it's a concern there are products to address that issue as well.

Re: For you hight teck stuff. Cool new unit
What a great product for the ice angler that wants to travel light. The biggest drawback performace wise between this and a purpose built fish finder in my eyes is the time delay. A byproduct of blue tooth vs. Wired connection. i like many people who use their phone in the outdoors have a water resi...

Re: Senkos, Senkos, Senkos.
Does anyone know if there is a senko kit that includes a similar noose like devise for the angler's neck?
By the time I resort to fishing a senko I often feel like life just isn't worth living.

Re: Quebec on-line fishing
Similar to the Ontario version but even less accurate. Still something though

Re: Bass Pro buying Cabelas - Effect in Ottawa???
I'm more curious to see what will happen to the share price of Cabelas (CAB) if Bass Pro did buy them. They would have a great deal more of the market shares, but can it be enough for significant profit? I'm not exactly a trader but I did hear that although Cabelas stock has been up and down this y...

Re: Bass Pro buying Cabelas - Effect in Ottawa???
Loo, Have you ever price matched anything? I have, you need proof. Good luck getting that from a mom and pop store without actually going to it. At that point, you might as well buy it there. Yes, I have price matched Adam and wouldn't classify the process as challenging. My point was extremely str...

Precisely Brad. When small you can be nimble and cater better to the customer.

Re: Bass Pro buying Cabelas - Effect in Ottawa???
This has actually been talked about quite a few times by Ed himself as well as others. I will admit, I used to think that way but I was for the most part wrong. For price something at Paddletales, Sail and look at the price online for the same 5 items and then come back and make that same statement...

Re: Bass Pro buying Cabelas - Effect in Ottawa???
I'm quickly learning to pick my battles online but clearly I'm a stubborn person. Retail economics isn't complicated. Bigger companies buy more product and in turn pay less per unit. From there it goes one of two ways: 1. They sell to the consumer at the same price as their competitors and make a hi...

Re: Bass Pro buying Cabelas - Effect in Ottawa???
Constantly bringing up Ed and Paddletales in every thread about BPS/Cabelas is getting older than the threads themselves. If you like to support local business instead of big box stores, I get that. Let's not just create some illusion that a store like Bass Pro could never hope to match the prices ...

Re: Bass Pro buying Cabelas - Effect in Ottawa???
Scarkner asks how the possible purchase of Cabelas by BPS will affect the store opening in Ottawa. Yeah the topic has been discussed before-I get that-but what's with the responses guys, is this some kind of joke? Why would we need a BPS if we have Canadian Tire and Walmart? If you ask this question...
