RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Well, after a couple days of play with the Garmin, I decided to trade it for the Magellan. I like the access and menu options better. Also it will show most of the cities you are close to. It does seem to have better contact with the sattelites even inside buildings. Alot of times, the garmin would tell me poor coveage inside my house, but haven't had that problem with the Magellan. Plus hunting partner has a Magellan, so I can learn a lot more of the functions without going back to the directions.

I have played with it a lot and if I ever get lost with this thing, I will give up hunting. Not really.

The only other big difference was the Garmin lasted 22 hrs with 4 batteries and the Magellan 15 with 2. It takes the same as my radio, so if I am ever caught short on batteries, I can always steal my radio batteries for the GPS. The Garmin was a little bit bigger/wider and the Magellan only weighs 7 oz. Just my 2 cents worth, and I will take it out to some thick timber to give it a try and let everyone know.

Sorry about the mix-up Moose and Mouse. The is a big difference in the two species but similar spelling. Maybe I am getting old, who knows.

Pup, tell me where you are at so I don't have to get out an atlas, Is it Whelah???

Anyway, thanks for the input, and I will keep you informed.

Later

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

I found it pup, I thought I had been there before.

I finally mastered the Magellan in two days. It isn't as bad as I made it to be, once I really started playing with it. It is going to be a great tool to use hunting this year. Also for scouting, I can see where this is going to help.

Moose, I really like the Magellan and maybe I didn't give the Garmin enough time, but it seems the functions are easier on the Magellan also.

Just got home from work and real tired, so talk to you later

Glad to hear you think it's easy to operate Gator99. That is the main thing. And they are great tools. I've gotten really good at looking up locations on www.terraserver.microsoft.com and plugging the coordinates in manually. It is nice to be able to mark a spot from your living room, and go right to it in the dark without ever having been there. I haven't used the computer interface cable yet, but will definitely try that out before elk season. Some of the mapping software out there is pretty cool, and there are a lot of free sites too. They make navigating in the dark a snap too. Just remember the backlight zaps the batteries.

Well I'm now a Minivan Dad. The wife and I traded our 2000 Montero Sport for a 2001 Ford Windstar Sport. I don't know if the wife knew I was serious, but this may be my new camping/hunting rig. Just pop the seats out of the back, and I've got a mobile hotel room. It's even got a VCR with 6&quot; monitor so I can watch hunting videos while I'm eating dinner on hunting trips. Pretty sweet. It is a year newer model and 34,000 fewer miles for about $100 less/month. That equates to some new hunting stuff for me.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Y'all have a good day.

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

I wish I was that lucky Slee, the $100.00 in my house would go toward bills. One day I too will be able to afford new hunting toys.

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Yeah, it probably will go towards bills. But if you are selective and somewhat descrete, you can pick up little things here and there without drawing too much attention. I've got soon to be 10 years experience, and I'm pretty good at it. It's all about baby steps. It's kinda like the Johnny Cash song where he steals a car from the factory piece by piece over the course of about 20 years. And if all else fails, BEG! We have the &quot;Don't ask, Don't tell&quot; policy in my house. If she don't ask, I don't tell.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Slee......I have used Terraserve a few times, but have never noticed a feild with coordinates. Just where on Terra are you looking???

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Wash, go to www.terraserver.microsoft.com and pick a location. Once you get the map zoomed in on your particular spot, click on &quot;Image Info&quot;. This will show you the picture again, but it gives coordinates around the borders, and it grids it off for you. You have to estimate some on the exact coordinates unless you zoom in real close, but it'll get you there. I marked a marsh just west of our camp on Coyote Creek Rd. before we went on our turkey trip to Kettle Falls, and I ended up 30 feet off the mark.

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

AFTERNOON ALL, HOPE EVERYONE HAS HAD A GOOD WEEK, SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN ON THIS MUCH THIS WEEK, WITH THE WAR GAMES AND HAVING 2 DAYS OFF, HAVEN'T REALLY HAD MUCH OF A CHANCE. THE NEW PUP IS AMAZING, ONLY 10 WEEKS OLD AND ETREVES, SITS, SHAKES, SMART DOG, NOW JUST NEED SOME HELP ON HOR TO TRAIN HIM TO BIRD HUNT??? ANY TAKERS ON THIS??? WELL HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GOOD WEEKEND!!!!

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Hey all!

Slee thanks for the info, I will have to check it out. I haven't gotten that far with the computer things yet, but the more info I have, the better.

When we go camping, (Family) we have a 9 and 1/2 ft camper for the truck, but we took the wife's jeep laredo with us one time and the kids wanted to sleep in the back of it. Put down the seats and threw the cushions from the camper in the back and they loved it. Gave Mom and me some privacy and didn't have to take the table out. Now we take the jeep quite a bit, plus it gives us some wheels when we want to explore.

Take it easy all

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Antsy nothing, I'd be pissed! You're making payments on something that you can't even drive because they won't get off their butts and process the papers. I'd be in somebody's ear. Who's doing the processeing? We'll send them hateful e-mails for you.<img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

I'VE CALLED THE PLACE THAT HAS THE CAR 5 TIMES TODAY AND EACH TIME I GET THE ANSWERING MACHINE, I WILL KEEP CALLING TOMORROW, I'VE TLAKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT CARS FORM THESE GUYS AND THEY ALL HAVE HAD THE SAME TROUBLE, THE CAR IS BRAND NEW BUT THEY HAVE TO DO A &quot;SVLA&quot; INSPECTION ON IT. THE SVLA IS A SAFETY OF VEHICLE AND LIGHT ADJUSTMENT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, BUT I'M NOT PAYING FOR IT.

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Hey all,

Robb, too bad they are dragging their feet, my wife would probably be down there to help them do the inspection. She is not very patient when it come to things like that.

Not much new here either, except my neighbor hunts archery in the same place I hunt elk. He went scouting for two days and saw a lot of elk. And alot of them were legal for the west side. Should be a promising year. Anyone know how late they calve out here, or does it just depend. He didn't see a whole lot of calves, but saw quite a few cows out on there own.

I will be heading down there between now and the 4th of July, to check out some different areas.

Good luck Robb and hope everyone has a good week.

Later

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

I'm getting my gear ready to head over in the morning to the WSB shoot in Nile Flats. Maybe I'll run into some of you there. I hate that I can never stick around for the fun stuff, but the wife's family will be rolling in tomorrow night. You guys have a good weekend.

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Well, I had a great morning at the WSB shoot at Nile Flats. It was a nice, cool morning, the land wasn't bone dry, and I only completely missed 1 target. But most importantly, I didn't lose any arrows. When you shoot at 30 targets of various unknown distances on extremely uneven terrain, that's pretty good. Anyway, the wife's family is coming in tonight and more coming in on Monday. I'll be doing the &quot;Flight of the Bumble-bee&quot; tonight to get the last bit of straightening up done before they arrive at 11pm. Fun, fun. Y'all have a good evening.

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Predator calling seminar at Wayne's house. Bring you camo clothes and your most accurate rifle.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I'm sure we'd all be glad to come over there and bust a few 'yotes and cougars to further your animal populations. I can't stand it when the predators get too greedy. It'll be my way of giving back to the animals I hunt.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Wayne1 - not suprised that your grass grew so fast when you guys were in Nevada. You had some 100 degree weather in Colville when you were gone. Glad to hear you guys had a nice time with the family. I'm in Spokane visiting with my brothers Ray & Ron. Having a good time. - - Good Hunting !, - - Rob

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Hey all - Back from a family camp out. Had a great time. If you haven't been to &quot;Sun Banks&quot; I would definately recomend it. It is a bit on the expensive side ($26.00 to pitch a tent) but it is beautiful and well kept. Was nice actually camping on grass for a change (instead of a lot of places with the square sand boxes).
