All Activity

Was at the wake today. A lot of very old hunters there but a few new young ones among the crowd. We have to keep this pastime going. Too many wonderful, great, funny stories shared about hunting camp today! Thank you all!

Headed to Maryland tomorrow.

My condolences for you and your friend's family. May he RIP. Cherish the good times.

Condolences @First-light, 91 full years of life if we all could only be so lucky.

Yes sir, it's great practice and keeps me in tune with using the back up thermal scope + monocular that don't get much use during the regular season. I've been mulling it over and after digging out all of the Cabela gift cards I've had lying around, I pulled the trigger on a PCP air rifle this afternoon. I bought a Barra 1100Z .177 cal rifle and Buck Rail moderator. Should be a deadly combo. SJC

We all thought this was Poke watching over the hunting property yesterday! Only cloud in the sky with sun on it. RIP

Persistence, I had a year Deer hunting where I was out almost every day and did not see a single Buck the entire season, that is until the last half hour of daylight on the final day of the season, BANG! Al

Got to say that you are getting some good real world practice in which is always a good thing. Al

Tough to lose those old timers, I have learned a lot over the years from guys like that, very sad when they are gone. Al

Condolences and good thoughts to all his friends and family. The memories will live on…….

Thats the way to live life- to the fullest, till the bitter end. Bet he was a hell of a guy!! Prayers sent to his family and friends.

This is a mouse that wouldn't sit still for a shot earlier in the evening. SJC

Wake is in Maryland. Waiting for details. One hell of a guy. 91 still getting it done running his backhoe. Nicest guy you ever would meet. There was a gun raffle in Canisteo a few weeks ago. He was going to be there but could not get a ride up. Boy I wish he made that. The whole family was there. He would hunt his property opening day through Wednesday. On his last day he would come over to my place and hunt my honey hole. Don't you know more than not he would shoot a buck on that day. Just got home from work. Going to jump on the tractor and mow my fields and think about him. oh one last story......he lost three fingers when he was a kid to a plater. Got stuck in the gears. He did fine without them. He actually joined the Navy but kicked him out when they found out he had only three fingers on one hand. RIP my friend! Thank you guys!

I'm sure a lot of fond memories . He did what he loved doing; good for him right into his 90's. That's the way to live! Wishing his family prayers.

I seen a nice big Tom over by Tonawanda Creek, while driving yesterday. Their out there
