Nugent may be a lot of things (some good some not so good), but one thing he is not and that is an idiot. Rough around the edges ..... abrasive ..... a bit prone to making bad decisions in his personal life ..... but there is no one who can beat him when it comes to arguing gun and hunting issues armed with facts. I have seen him make complete babbling idiots out of some people that are supposedly professional debaters who make their living destroying opponents to liberal ideologies. Perhaps he doesn't always conduct his personal life in the positive fashion, but he does know his gun and hunting debate facts better than any other person that I have seen arguing pro-gun positions. Is he a good or bad representative of the gun and hunting community? Well, That is still up for debate. But the guy is not stupid.

I've seen pictures of this before, but this was the first time I've ever seen it for myself. Two of these guys did battle while the other two followed them around in half strut for the better part of an hour. Eventually I remembered I still had my box call in my pack, so I gave them a couple clucks and they made their way across the field to me.

One of The Mermaid's flower beds had a bumper crop of garter snakes this year. She wanted me to kill'em, but I refused. So far I have caught six of them, including a BIG ol feller, and transplanted them. I've been turning them loose on my ex-wife's property...<<GRIN>>....

Spiders and snakes..............UGGH! I know, they are both important but I could GIF. Can stand either one but snakes REALLY freak me out. I just never liked them............one time when fishing Canadice back in the mid 70's my buddy Steve L. and a close encounter with either a spotted adder or python of some sort. We were in our 16' Lyman boat and had rowed over to a large willow that hung over a good hole. Seems as though one of us had made too long of a cast and got hung up. With the price of a CP swing those days (especially when funded with a 14 year olds allowance ) we had to get it unhooked. We proceeded to grab it but at the same time this HIGHLY venomous snake dropped into the bow from a branch overhead. Holy Kielbasa!! We almost chopped a hole in the old wooden boat with the oars trying to kill the highly dangerous snake. Needless to say we both survived the attack and the only thing killed was the snake. Soooooooooo, you can keep those missing snakes MIA and it won't break my heart...........

"Draft dodger, skipped out on child support, his music sucks" Blah.Blah..Blah…He will destroy anyone in a debate on the 2nd amendment & gun ownership and he is at the top of the list when it comes to charity work.

Draft Dodger. He also tried to skate on child support. Got no use for him, and the general public thinks he's a fruitcake.

Went up to the camp this weekend since I had a break off from work and got some planting done. First frost for me has come in late September the past few years and I had the time with the thunderstroms coming tomorrow. Planted Lickcreek Mix. Because we do a lot of bow hunting and clover was so thick we went 50 % clover 25 % Grasses 25% brassica. We rototilled the entire new plot area. Fertilized with 46-0-0 and the 6-24-24 planted and cultipacked. We actually used a lawn roller off of amazon that you fill with water as a cultipacker and it worked great. Here is a picture of me spraying the clover with cleth and a view of the grasses plot in the back. there is a variety of 10 apple trees below where this picture ends. They are still fenced off and are starting to produce fruit Here is a shot of the brassica plot that has crab apples running throughout it. We sprayed the bases of the crab apples and fertilized accordingly. And finally here is a gun stand that we built overlooking the plots Deer are showing up more often and looking fatter than ever just need to start seeing some mass.

I'll bet if I was there it would have lived. Some how some way most deer i encounter end up living!

So Ive decided to take some pictures and start this thread to log my progress as a novice plotter.... Backround: My family owns around 22 acres in the Catskill Mountains of new York. The area used to be a big dairy farm area but most of the farmers have since been subsidized by uncle sam and the deer population is feeling the effects. So last summer I decided to start my own QDM plan... * Fortunatly my county is an Antler Restriction county so it is illegal to shoot any deer with less than 3 on one side... This is my property. The front area will not be plotted. The second field has since undergone a lot of work. Year 1: Had woods thinned out by logger with biology degree to improve habitat Planted 10 apples trees 4 dunston chestnuts and 4 crab apples Fall planted 1 acre of Antler King Clover with Chicory additive (the long green plot in second field) The area with the blue lines is where I planted the apple trees. I plan to expand the existing plot another acre so it will be, just as long but much wider (it will be on both sides of the existing cedar trees that you can see in the picture... Since this was our first year we had a farmer friend till the land... I wasn't very impressed with the results, this is how it came out after its fall planting. No lime or fertilizer was used in this year, it was planted Aug 1 and this was the result... We weren't very pleased in this year... We were just starting off, this year I came back much more determined.... Started off the year by frost seeding the plot with some more clover and chicory in early March. I decided that this year ( With the help from this site) I would expand the plot into LC's mix. I went and got my soil test it came back 5.9, so I went and got 2 tons of lime and when I started to spray it in late april, I started to notice a lot of clover.... So, I decided to take a ton of the lime I had and spread it on the existing clover plot. It was time to get a tractor.... So after much debate I ended up picking up a Allis Chalmers 5020. Since then I have obtained a chisel plow, a disk, a sprayer for the atv, a lime spreader and a mower. So then begain the plowing experiment.... I have no tractor experience so all of this has been a learning process with my two buddies. Its been very hard not to rush but the excitement is sometimes hard to overcome. Our soil is very rocky and more of a clay based soil, its drains ok. After a lot of hard work and pass after pass (and a few wheelys on the tractor) we were able to start seeing what we thought should look like a food plot! I know its early to be planting but we wanted to get a head start on turning over the soil while we had the free weekends. We plan on planting mid july because the local farmers records show the first frost coming in late September. I went up to the cabin three weeks ago to check on my cameras and mess around on the tractor and boy was I surprised at the progress of the clover! What a huge difference the past 8 months have made! Im so happy I gave it a chance to grow. I plan on mowing and fertilizing it in mid june. The soil we turned over for the new LC mix area started to take on some new weeds. You can see the plot here... the left side is the existing clover and right side is the north eastern portion of the plot where we plan on putting LC brassica mix. ( unsure of what that red patch of weeds on the left is, need to spray with cleth soon) Just recently went up again to mow , spray and fertilize (0,0, 60) Looking forward to tilling over other side next month with the fall plot (Lickcreek mix)

I figure I might as well try an Xbow and purchased a Excalibur "Axiom". The biggest advantage I see is not having to draw on a deer which means a lot since I am primarily a ground hunter. I am also looking forward to using a different weapon to harvest a whitetail. I find it ironic that I also bought a recurve bow this year to learn traditional archery.

Nothing great, but it's the one and only buck I've gotten pics of so far this year! Coming out of a thicket and is ~7 yards from one stand.

Was up to the Stateland near by and once again can't believe the amount of trash left behind.I hauled out 6 conhtractor bag's full and that was crazy who ever is doing this should be paying for trash pick up.

Look out High Bank's Rd!

Something made from donkey must taste like A$$! Hahaha

Hahaha....man there needs to be a tour bus loaded up and driven out to the Tuesday/ Thursday livestock auctions....you'd all stop eating meat...or hidden cameras in ANY restaurant kitchen during it's busy Friday/ Saturday dinner hours...Hell I've seen prime ribs in fancy restaurants fly across a stainless steel table.... hit the floor and slide under the storage units...pulled out with a broom handle covered in crap...literally ..rinsed off and carved up...yep and that is a mild story...lol

Water is a death sentence. Cams below the Reconyx line do not generally have coated internals. The damage you see is less than the damage you don't. It's just a matter of time if not promptly taken care of. The problem is that cams soak outside for a longtime in conditions that change (humidty/temp rises and falls), making it likely that the internals are going to start corroding quickly before you can do anything about it.

In his case, the pro-gun/hunting stance probably helped him a great deal. Do you think most people would even know or give a hoot about Ted Nugent at this point in his life?? Would any want to attend his concerts? No way. I for one could give a crap about any rock star, but Nugent would have been long forgotten if it wasn't for him keeping his own name in the news thru the gun issue.

Allow the hunters who actually use them to obtain more. That is a good solution for thinning the herd. I am sure some here could use more than the 4 allotted (second chance included). I know I would be happy to have another one.

Yeah, I know......all the rock stars have gotten on the pro-hunting and gun ownership bandwagon. It's such a lucrative position to take.

He preaches to the choir for a paycheck and attaboys.

Look, I personally think he is pretty obnoxious, and probably is someone I wouldn't care to hunt with or hang around with. Yup it was his music that drove me from rock to country and western. That shrieking, squealing guitar noise sent me running. Ok that takes care of all my personal hang-ups on the guy. And when you get finished with all that, it all has to be followed up with a big, "So what!" I don't hear anyone saying they want to be his buddy. But when it comes to hunting and gun issues, the guy has done his homework and can likely out-debate anyone on this forum who refuse to give him credit for that. The other thing I credit him for is the fact that he is one of the few that is actually voicing a public opinion in our support. I hear a lot of people whining about him, but I don't hear any of those people conducting public debate or basically anything else in real support of gun and hunting rights. We always like to kill our own, thinking we are somehow enhancing our own self-image. But the fact of the matter is that damn few people can or will actually speak their beliefs on these subjects publicly.

Got it. Some people find him to be whacky and weird looking. But his stance on gun rights is clear, articulate and intelligent. I'll get over the whacky and funny looking thing.

He's an excellent debater and his knowledge and passion are what impress gun owners. He's also an extremist and a bit of a crackpot- and that's why he probably does more harm than good for his own causes. His tv show where he hunts exotic animals in game preserves and rants about trying to kill as many animals as possible so as to taunt anti-hunters probably doesn't win anyone over either.

So you don't agree with his stance on gun rights. What brilliant anti gun person would win in a debate against him?? Hillary? Dianne Fienstien?? Obama? Believe what you want. I'll bet that most gun owners like the guy. He looks like one step above barbarian?? You mean the long hair??

Smith & Wesson M&P Shield. They come in 9mm and 40 cal. Both are the same size. Single stack mags make for a thin. flat easily concealed pistol. They are high quality and totally reliable. Right around 500 bucks. I would go for the 40 cal. A lot more ass then the 9mm & very controllable.

I'm seeing a normal number of 'em it seems. Stopped the mower the other day to let a good-sized brown make his escape toward my woodpile. Better him in there than the mice! A really pretty corn snake has taken up residence somewhere in or around my tool shed. Again, better than the mice by a long shot. Guess I should start carrying the camera when I go to grab a chainsaw or something so I can get a photo to post. I'll put a warning on the pic, though. I wouldn't want to be responsible for a cardiac incident here.

This is going on in China. Key word from the article source is "accused of". ...this may cause temporary shortage of KFC's cheese pork hamburger

Amen to that,,,I called the on line then the local store and spoke to manager on a product they should ...use to..but don't now sell... All other hunting stores are carrying the product...yet they carry products from that brand name...24hrs ...that manager has just one more day to call or I will spend my early morning hrs tracking down corporate #'s and raising hell...Why? ...because it's hot and I'm feeling a tad pissy toward stores in general....

Well at least he has the you know what to do what he feels is right. I do not agree with everything he has done and sometimes he causes more harm than good. That said, No one else is doing what he does or is as outspoken as he is and plain and simple most politician can not defeat his logic. Find a better representative of my gun rights and I will support him, until then Uncle Ted gets my approval. God bless him! I would have gone just to support him!

AGREED - I think donkey or fox would be a step up from what they call hamburger at McDonalds.

we've had President's who ran this Country who have done questionable things in their past and even during their presidency...........I'm not too concerned about what Ted has or hasn't done, like Doc said, he's very intelligent and articulate and there aren't too many who can hold a candle to him when it comes to debating.

I have seen some big deer. I'll pull cards this weekend and report back. Going to camp for 3 days with my 10 year old-all fun-n-games!

I thought this was about me packing on a little bit of weight... I'll be checking my cameras this weekend... I'll let you know what I see...

All my berry plants are about 2/3 full ripe with about 1/3 still green. 7j. This includes wild and cultivated blacks and raspberries. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Moms and the babies sure are in good shape. Bucks look real good too. Maybe 75 lbs. of meat good, LOL. Shows how were adapted the deer herd really is in New York. Tough old winter didn't even throw them a curve.

Wang dang sweet puntang........(or something like that!)

Sorry not to see this earlier Bubba, I confess to being away from this site for days at a time. Its a very good thing you and the others are doing. I'm sorry I can not be there next weekend.

Cool pictures, Wooly. I've seen it twice...Once years ago on the river flats near Erwin, NY and this year opening day of gobbler season in Ontario. I once saw two groups of gobblers ( perhaps about a dozen in each group) get into a free for all, but as I remember that fracas involved a lot of agressive purring, spurring and wing flapping, but no "necking"...

Very nice pics I hope he holds onto that and you.get to.find the shed

Sat the field edge tonight but only had two bucks pop out of the corn. Both youngsters, but I was happy to see "Bam-Bam" still has his club horn hanging on! I can't believe how dead it is up there this year.

That depends on how frightened the horse looks……..Right?

Nice as in rack size or nice as in meat? If it is a two yr old the meat will be very good. Can't eat the rack

I've got 30 jars of red raspberry jam done, 20 black raspberry jam done.. all seedless mind you.. LOL... Just waiting for the black berries to ripen...

Few more pics from yesterday's card check... Another new two year old...

Phone calls save a lot of time.

As mentioned the 740 742 which I own one and the 7400 were not inherently accurate rifles. Mine is a 30-06 and gets about the same accuracy. Personally I have shot quite a few deer with it and was never to worried about about a 3 inch group at 100 yards. That is dead deer all day long. If I were trying to build a bench or a long range rifle, this is not the rifle I would start with. They are very meticulous about being clean for sure. I kept mine as it is as it was an inheritance from an Uncle. Just my opinion, but I would accept its limitations and have fun with it.

Sometimes in life it is about the hunt, not the game in the bag. Maybe he'll get it shooting to his expectations, maybe not but if he does, the satisfaction will be worth the effort.

It was a serious issue to be sure. I should have mentioned that it was about 10 minutes of "Holy Crap" "That's so sad" "Don't cry honey" before I reverted to levity. I'm not that insensitive, I just didn't want this horrific incident to spoil the whole trip.
