My oldest son helps my SIL each week . We hunt on her property in Geneseo . He was by her barn a took a picture of her lower pasture . Looking Good !

Sister in law got it from a friend. The friends Dad caught it in Aruba in the 80's. Had no place for it so my sister in law took it. They tried it in their house and it didn't work. She gave it to me this weekend and now has its forever home! In excellent condition!

A few weeks ago I set a cam up over watching some scraps from a deer I had harvested. I got a ton of some really awesome bobcat footage, check it out some real cool interactions

Love a nice matched set, just as Much as a set of (.)(.)

With all the snow melt everywhere I go around my place is covered with a sheet of ice making for treacherous walking, I took a bad fall on ice some years back and tore all kinds of muscles and ligaments in both legs. I can get around ok these days but I will never get back to normal. Consequently I am now extra careful when it comes to maneuvering on ice. I have tried just about everything out there and the best solution I have found are a chain type setup that slip over your footwear and held in place by strong rubber straps. The traction they give on glare ice is outstanding. If you have to do any walking on ice do not mess around, get some sort of traction grips and be safe. Al

This one had a mange problem starting on his tail.

I am too lazy in my old age to build any coops, I buy Amish Sheds or coops and have them delivered and set them up the way I want. Craig's list and facebook marketplace has many to choose, all different sizes and prices. I will be having one delivered in the spring for my pigeons. Al

There was more to it than that pal, he was constantly posting filth to get his jollies, something wrong with someone that pulls that crap! Al

Hammering my food plots.

I tried a few times to get the site this morning before going to church . No luck . I thought maybe burmjohn has given up totally on the huntingny site .

Chupacabra, definitely Chupacabra.

Have you ever done any hunting pranks ? I was invited to a camp with a few guys many years ago . One of our friends was a Biker and always acted Macho . One of the regulars was showing us around the woods . We came across some deer scat . Bill had a box of Goobers candy (chocolate covered raisins) in his coat . He slipped a couple in his hand and reached down Looking like he had picked up some of the deer scat . He popped the Goobers in his mouth and said , it was a doe and she dropped these about 30 minutes . Our macho Biker buddy got the dry heaves and we all cracked up . He never lived it down .

My bucket list is to not Kick the Bucket anytime soon .

Been awhile since we've seen a dog at this farm. Warm weather has them traveling around. My buddy dropped a single dog of the three I called in from over 600 yards away. Big male at 148 yards with his enhanced Savage Impulse Predator 22-250/Nocpix Ace H50R. SJC

The second day of the season I would always put a mannequin dressed in orange or camo in one of the new guy tree stands before afternoon stand. You would hear them yelling at the mannequin before getting on the radio asking what to do. One time I dropped off one of the new hunters at an occupied stand and as I was leaving he stopped me and said there's someone in the stand. I told him to stand behind a tree with the radio in case it gets violent. So I yelled at the "Hunter" to get the F out of the stand or I'm going to shoot you out of it and unloaded my handgun with blanks at the stand. He almost crapped his pants. I took him to another stand where he shot his first buck, a nice 8 point. I miss those day's. SJC

Mange is a highly contagious skin disease caused by parasitic mites that burrow into the skin and cause inflammation. It is primarily found in mammals, including dogs, cats, foxes, and raccoons The sarcoptic mange is noteworthy because of the fact that it is a zoonotic disease which can easily be passed on to humans. So don't be handling any dead mangy critters.

Got this one this morning. Must be cold for him!

Have a flock of 75-100 birds use my farm every year. Looks like these boys came up for a few stones in their diet.

Here's one I built this summer. Coop floor is a 4 X 8 sheet of exterior grade subfloor. Back wall is 5 ft high, and front is 3 - used 2 sheets of T-11 for those walls. End walls were T&G boards that I had laying around. I built it with a run under to coop so they could have protection from the weather but still be outside if we don't let them out into the caged area. Once springtime is here, we'll put up nylon Electra-fence to let them "free-range" in fresh grass, and they'll still have the protection of the cage. There's a sliding door in the floor and the ladies learned pretty quickly how to get in and out that way. In the spring need to make some adjustments to the sliding door - I planned on being able to open the end door and use a push rod to open and close it, but it loads up with poop and gets hard to open, so for now we're going into the cage to open and close it. 9 chickens and 3 nesting boxes. Generally, there're be 1 or 2 in a box at a time, so they load up 1 box with eggs, if someone can't wait, they'll use the other boxes.

When they legalized rifles here in our county, I decided to go for something with reduced recoil. I had been shooting a 12 ga shotgun. So I called up my son and had him bring his .270 up for me to test fire. I honestly decided that the .270 had no kick at all. So I bought one. My suggestion is to find someone that owns a .270 and ask to take a shot or two. I would be surprised if the recoil bothers your bad shoulder. I don't know the nature of your shoulder injury, but I cannot imagine that the recoil of a .270 would aggravate it at all.

I think this thread has run it's course and I am going to lock it . Thanks for all the input . p.s. I sent burmjohn another email to do something with the site . I doubt that he will respond . If you don't see me on here , it means that I have been fired or no longer on the green side .

Well , "YOUR BOY" is gone from this site . Enjoy him as you Chuckled when chef suggested that he come over here And stir up some crap . Why do you continue to come here ? You need to see what is going on at this site ? Are you that bored !

Found my first one of the season this morning, walking in gathering maple sap.

The phone has saved more deer than anything else

Those big knots are called burls and can be highly valued by woodworkers as they sometimes have spectacular grain running through them making especially nice knife scales. Al
