To shoot a bow. She is a ham. Hopefully the video works

Most of that will buff out.....

Last few times out I was sitting were I wanted to be at 430-435.One of the things I love is watching the woods come alive in the am.

I get a big kick out of her WNYBH. She is far more interested in hunting than my 12 year old son. Who would have guessed.

I usually try to get in at least a half hour before shooting time......4:30 is not unreasonable, especially if you know where they are roosting and want to sneak in as close as possible and get set up quietly.

How many of our hunter-heroes do you really think abide by all the proper laws, and ethical decisions and rules of fair chase? How do you think all of our hunting entertainers come up with week after week of successful hunts? These guys harvest trophy animals for our entertainment. That's their livelihood. No trophies, no paycheck. Can anyone really be surprised that everything isn't always on the up-and-up? Personally, these guys to me are truly meaningless. I do not look up to them in awe. And as far as I am concerned they are the result of some misplaced notion of hero-worship that has absolutely no business in my version of the world of hunting.

two eights from last year

he U.N. Resolution 2117 lists 21 points dealing with firearms control, but perhaps of most interest is point number 11: “CALLS FOR MEMBER STATES TO SUPPORT WEAPONS COLLECTION, DISARMAMENT ---” HOORAY - 53-46 vote - The U.S. Senate voted against the U.N. Now, Which 46 Senators Voted to Destroy Us? Well, let their names become known !! See below... In a 53-46 vote, the Senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms T...rade Treaty. The Statement of Purpose from the Bill reads: "To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty." The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S. and had language that would have implemented aninternational gun registry, now get this, on all private guns and ammo. Astonishingly, 46 out of our 100 United States Senators were willing to give away our Constitutional rights to a foreign power. Here are the 46 senators who voted to give your rights to the U.N.: Baldwin (D-WI) Baucus (D-MT) Bennett (D-CO) Blumenthal (D-CT) Boxer (D-CA) Brown (D-OH) Cantwell (D-WA) Cardin (D-MD) Carper (D-DE) Casey (D-PA) Coons (D-DE) Cowan (D-MA) Durbin (D-IL)j Feinstein (D-CA) Franken (D-MN) Gillibrand (D-NY) Harkin (D-IA) Hirono (D-HI) Johnson (D-SD) Kaine (D-VA) King (I-ME) Klobuchar (D-MN) Landrieu (D-LA) Leahy (D-VT) Levin (D-MI) McCaskill (D-MO) Menendez (D-NJ) Merkley (D-OR) Mikulski (D-MD) Murphy (D-CT) Murray (D-WA) Nelson (D-FL) Reed (D-RI) Reid (D-NV) Rockefeller (D-WV) Sanders (I-VT) Schatz (D-HI) Schumer (D-NY) Shaheen (D-NH) Stabenow (D-MI) Udall (D-CO) Udall (D-NM) Warner (D-VA) Warren (D-MA) Whitehouse (D-RI) Wyden (D-OR) Folks: This needs to go viral. These Senators voted to let the UN take OUR guns. They need to lose their next election. We have been betrayed. 46 Senators Voted to Give your 2nd Amendment Constitutional Rights to the U.N.

So I have a gallon worth of the flower part only (no stems) steeping in a pot of boiled water. The rope I found calls for sugar, lemon, orange and then some yeast.... I am looking for more specific info about bottling and quantities f ingredient per quantity of liquid remaining after it steeps. In other words, I jumped into this whole heartedly and half assed!!! Any real recipes/advice will help

Tagged out this morning with a sweet double bearded two year old!!! Heard this guy hammering on monday when my wife killed her gobbler. I went after him on tuesday...got close to sealing the deal. Went back after him today and had better results...

This bird gobbled to my owl hoot the night before so I knew where he was just in from the corner in the field. I hunted that spot in the fall so knew where I could sit. Put my decoys together in the field and placed them edge of the woods. Tip toed to my tree and was sitting at 4:20am. He was here somewhere. So closed my eyes and waited. When he gobbled he woke me up. I couldn't see him because the brim of my hat was in the way. He was in a tree 15 yards in front me. Fortunately my gun was in my lap. He gobbled for 20 minutes or so. Suddenly he was getting nervous and looking straight down. He spotted my decoys. I thought he was going to hit the ground running because I was there. When he pitched off the limb he flew right over my head, I swung the gun. He landed right next the decoys, turned and challenged the Jake with a full strut, I smiled. Every hunt is different. I'll never forget that one.

Show more pics of the wall. Nice!

Or they could just pickup a bow and stop crying.

Well , he made 2 out of 3 before ripping off the roof !

I don't put down other hunters for their choice of hunting weapon. I do say this,"Bowhunting made me a much better deer hunter."

I see that this is 10 days old but I thought I'd pop in. I make a lot of wine and work part time at a wine making shop in Watertown. CulverCreek has it pretty much covered. Get a hydrometer and a test jar, it is your most important piece of equipment. You will need them to determine how much sugar you have before fermentation and how much alcohol you will have when its done. Also be sure to use wine yeast. So many use bread yeast and that will limit what you can make. I recommend Lalvin EC1118. PM me if you have any further questions. I really enjoy teaching others how to make wine.

If anyone is interested there will be a gun and ammo auction on May 24 at Walton N.Y. Contact Lambrecht Auctions online or by calling 607-865-6951.From the online catalog they have some really nice guns for sale. Sorry but this is all the info I have. Look at the online catalog for more info....

I took dendrology in high school. This would be MUCH easier if I had leaves to look at. From what you describle, it may be a sweet gum. But I like sycamore better.

I agree to buy local first but the ammo "shortage" as well as the shops that are charging double what you can buy online is out of control.

Very cute!! Brings back memories! My daughter has been shooting since she was 5 (now 14). She's spent many hunts tagging along with me in the stand and in the blind. She's been wanting to bowhunt, but just hasn't been able to get the bow back with much poundage. Now that we can use crossbows, she's very excited to finally be able to bowhunt! She got her first deer last year during the youth season. As we were skinning it, she said, "Ya' know Dad, some father and daughters bond over sports, but I think our bonding time is during hunting." (I have zero interest in sports, unless my kids are playing.) Sure put a smile on my face and something I'll never forget...

For every single braggart out there looking for fame and glory for their accomplishments, there are a dozen people with huge bucks on their den walls. They will tell you a great story about that deer if you ask them, but they don't care about calling the newspaper about it. These are the hunters who impress me: with their quiet stories that not many hear.

I can't believe how fast that buckwheat grows, this pic I just received is only 24 hrs of growth after the deer pic above: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Turkey have great eyesight and getting close to their roost or pitchdown spot takes time to do.

Most of them would get lost in any real woods... and yes they started somewhere just like the rest of the guys that would get lost in the real woods. I'm sure they could kill "a" deer on an unguided hunt, but I'll bet it would be nothing like what you see them kill on their shows off the big deer farm ranches in south Texas.. just sayin' Somebody like a Jim Shockey would be a bit different ... I doubt many hunters could keep up with him.

We need to vote them all out ..

The constitution overrides the UN. Its been tried and upheld before. Alot of todo about nothing really.

The Right to Bear Arms

Having been in the circle for a short time and seeing how the industry operates... none of this is surprising... lots of these guys and gals push the envelope of ethics all the time... more than that though... they have turned trophy management ( or to some QDM) into a huge deer farming operations that helps increase the odds of killing a big buck for television... I could take many of these so called "super hunters" into the Adirondacks and drop them off with just a compass, and not only would they probably never kill a deer with all their Super deer knowledge, I bet there would have to be search parties sent out to find their lost butts... might be fun to see some of that footage on their shows though...lol

Up until this post, I'd never even heard of the guy, but I don't really keep up on stuff like that. To be honest with ya, even if he pulled off the hoax without a hitch, I probably still wouldn't be able to tell you who he is. Right now after reading that link I still don't even know or care who he is,lol I guess he's gonna have do something more than kill a couple big deer if it's his "celebrity reputation" he's looking to uphold.

Basically the dandelion is providing the flavor. There is very little there that is actually fermentable. Think sugar. The yeast eat sugar, fart carbon dioxide and piss alcohol. So the sugar added to the recipe is the fermentable. Good rule of thumb is a pound to a pound and a half of sugar to a gallon of water. it will probably ferment in about a week or two. fermenting should take place in a single vessel. if you have a old one gallon wine jug, they work well. stop by a brewery supply place and pick up a drilled rubber cork to fit the bottle and a bubbler. ($2). this keep air out and Oxygen is evil to the wine process during the fermentation. The airlock keeps it out but allows the CO2 some place to escape during fermentation. http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reques2.asp I have never used these recipes (never made dandelion wine anyways) but it is a great site. this cam up and it looks like a couple good recipes. The one this I will tell you in all the wine making. Stay on the dry side of using the sugar. It can always be added for taste after the fermenting but you can't get it out once it is in there. (I made that mistake with hard cider). the Yeast will only convert sugar to ta level that brings the alcohol by volume to between 8%-20% depending on the yeast used. They can not live in a solution of ABV above 20%. so if you add more sugar than the yeast can convert before it hits that limit you have a sweet wine. I prefer to add it after I know I have a good ferment and basically season to taste at that point, especially for a first try. When the fermentation is done (the bubbler stops bubbling). carefully drain off the wine. There will be sediment in the bottom of the jug that you will discard. pour the wine though a coffee filter and back into the jug. I would let it rest for about a month in the jug and any fines will settle out. adjust the sweetness. Leave the lid loose because when adjusting with sugar thee may be a few yeasts in there that aren't quite done, especially if the ABV didn't hit their limit. after the month, bottle and drink. (no plastic bottles). Better to use mason (canning) jars if you don't have a corker or access to enough screw top bottles. About $10 for a dozen

Not all that shocking considering the Busbices own it. Wildgame Innovations, Evolved Habitat, and so on and so forth. They own alot and not much of it is quality. But, people buy it.
