Folks, we've had some people call us and tell us that there have been instances of someone posting classified ads for ATVs and other equipment, then requesting money be sent to some other country.

If you're dealing with someone and you don't think they're being honest, or if it's someone trying to get you to send money outside of this country, then please, call me or email Andy at.... Read More

Don't forget
Also, please remember the old adage that "if it's too good to be true, it probably is" and proceed with caution. We know it might not be possible in all cases, but we recommend you looking at and trying out any major purchase before any money exchanges hands. It's truly a buyer-beware market.

Looking at switching to a Pattern Master Choke. I hunt in Venice and Reggio. Would the mid range choke be best? Whoever is hunting with a Pattern Master please give me your thoughts. Thanks

This concern is regarding lack of knowledge about river dangers when going to a tubing business.

I heard of 3 drownings in the Bogue Chitto River in the last 4 months with the last drowning being a young boy from an area not close to the tubing areas, Plaquemine La. People near rivers where there is tubing may know the dangers but people from other areas do not know these dangers. When.... Read More

Our policy on political discussions
The thread was pulled because this forum is focused on our mutual love of the outdoors, and political discussions that have no connection to the outdoors are no longer allowed. Political discussions once were allowed, and caused untold headaches as they had to be watched closely and many, many comments had to be removed because of heated and offensive language.rnrnTherefore, we have made the decision that we will focus on providing an online platform to celebrate and debate outdoor issues.

Can someone tell me how to blacken redfish. I tried a recipe that called for searing it for 2 minutes on each side. I got my skillet white hot and seared them for 2 minutes on each side. They were a bit undercooked on inside and overcooked on outside. Can I cook the fillets in the oven a few minutes and then maybe finish them off in the black skillet. Thanks

Uncle wants to buy a early 90's 15 hp motor for his aluminum flat boat. Owner of the motor doesn't have a title but said that all you need is his written receipt(bill of sale) and my uncle can get the motor registered. Is this true? He wants the motor but if he can't get it registered, then he'll continue looking.

OK, we've gone over this ground countless times. You want them to be chronological (latest classifieds on top) and others want to be able to bump ads. The result is a no-win situation.rnrnWhenever we set the system to stick ads chronologically, users simply repost a dozen times thinking their ads have to be on top to be effective. Any time limit that would be effective would be so restrictive users would howl.rnrnWe are working on an upgrade to allow you to choose how you would like to view the ads (much as you can choose to view the reports in the new forum or Classic View), but until then we're sticking with the current settings.rnrnBelieve me, we get complaints either way. Again, it's a no-win situation.rnrnThis thread is being lock because continued discussion is simply plowing over old ground.
