Doc, hunting on my propertyis always my goal, but I'll hunt anywhere there's game if given the opportunity.

Once we get into summer, probably less than a quarter mile to the carlton Marsh leading to the st. Marys river across the road, in dry weather. 
 Really no shortage of water, just small water areas that get rare.

This will give you an idea of my surroundings. Pretty wild.

Norse is the only one that I have seen with a butt plate that pivots.

Igland has that too, but as you pointed out earlier Norse and Igland are basically the same.

Both of your marriage longevity should teach me something... My wife and I give each other a "Happy Anniversary!" and that's about it... We're not even positive what year we met in.

How close is the nearest other water source to this?  It sure is getting some wildlife traffic.  Pretty cool!

I just looked at their stuff, thanks for the link.  I know nothing about these systems.  Do the backpack systems work in a small pond setting where I can walk the bank and shock them up?  How deep do they work to shock fish, 3 feet, 10 feet, however deep the electrodes?  Never considered a backpack one but maybe that's what I need.  Do they work on turtles?  I don't want to rig a boat up, I just want to have something useful and convenient that hopefully won't electrocute me.

Forestry and Logging / Re: Felling wedge choices

Can't really wedge the hardwoods off they're lean much around here. Wood is too soft and the wedges will just smoosh in before they start picking them up if you're trying to pick up much weight. Hinge wood is really weak as well.

Ya, not really sure what the steely's ( what we called them) were made of. I pounded on some and they definitely lift better than anything plastic but nobody wore eye protection and it only took a few chips smacking your bare arms to get the message. They're heavy too. I think that's why they came out with the magnesium's. This was back in the 80's and a crew average of about 35 and only 4 sets of jacks so definitely some wedging and some spooky drives keeping stuff inside the units. I could actually swing a 5# 36 at one time without breaking the handle! It's funny how the different ax head brands made a lot of difference. You could hear the difference and definitely notice how they drove the wedges in.
