  1. This is only the 3'rd or 4'th Milk snake I've ever found. He was curled up sunning himself on a rock pile today but he slipped away before I could get a shot. I sat tight waiting for him to emerge again when I spotted him slithering out the other side of the pile towards a log pile. I pounced on him and made him my model for a little while. I finally had ALL my camera gear with me for a change so I set up a quick studio and fired away!

  2. This bill just allows the DEC to regulate a season if and when it chooses to do so. It doesn't mean there will be moose tags next season if it passes. It takes the decision out of the hands of politicians and puts it into the DECs. Not a bad thing in my opinion, given the two options.

  7. Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate MOST of them. All is good.....last night went fine. I trust her implicitly to make good decisions. His car has a loud exhaust (friggin' rice burner) and he works construction. She has a great head on her shoulders as far as common sense and book work. Honor roll since the start 6th grade and one marking period left for high school! I never had a bit of trouble with mom's or dad's when I was dating........I could tell you some pretty interesting stories about excepting parents you WOULDN'T believe. But I won't....... I'm going to have THE cleanest guns and SHARPEST knives in town.

  8. My concern is the time required to get them into action in an emergency, like a sudden home invasion with the front door getting kicked in. You could walk around the house with a sidearm "in use" even with kids around, but a long gun would take time to unlock. I read this law as saying even when no kids are in the home, they have to be locked as well. That's going too far as far as I'm concerned.

  11. That is another likely candidate. Could even be from out of state. Or the insurance industry. But for sure its someone connected and/or what is known as a "donor".....

  13. Well, I know someone wants to know who was behind it.... I don't have the answer, but I have some clues.... This one is easy to narrow down because there are only one sponsor in each house 20 miles apart, the senator in Buffalo and the assemblyman in east Aurora. So someone who lives and votes around Buffalo advocated or lobbied for it.... Not many moose in the Buffalo area.... So I would tend to believe this is ONE person or perhaps one group who own a hunting camp in moose country... Apparently, some dude or dudes who live around Erie County want a moose season......

  14. We cant get to half of the areas we need to either, and even if we could, some of them are so wet we cant till anyhow. Spray? Why bother now? Better off to just hope stuff dries up and we can get fall plots in by mid summer.

  20. Give him more credit. I get it and I like it. We don't have to agree with something to like it. I like her use of metaphor. I especially like the irony when she defends you and calls others "pot stirrers".

  21. My daughter also finished a karate course 2 years ago called Tactical Solutions for Defense - which is taught to military and police. Its basically survival and street fighting. She finally learned why God gave her knees and thumbs and now she knows how to use them!

  22. I swapped out the SD cards in 4 cameras I have in Geneseo this past Saturday . I was surprised to get a pic of a Red Fox with dinner in his mouth . One of the cameras was loaded with ants . Enough whereby the camera quit .

  38. I really doubt that all this talk about flashing gun metal and trophies in front of the face of your daughters boyfriend will stop them from doing what they want to do. Don't forget it takes TWO to tango, so in most cases all the blame can't fall on the boyfriend. Girls want boyfriends and relationships more than the boys do, so if you put all the blame on the boy you're only looking at the situation the way you want to see it while trying to avoid putting any blame on your daughter. Whatever might happen between them, I think in the vast majority of cases they will BOTH be willing participants. The best anyone can hope for is to instill values in children from a young age and hopefully it will carry thru in their lives once they start making their own decisions. Other than that there isn't much a parent can do about it. If you shoot that wiseass boyfriend, it will be YOUR ass ending up in jail and not his.

  39. My first girlfriend's father was an ex special forces vet. He had those crazy far away eyes. But he was a really cool guy. He sat me down before our first going out date and his eyes bored right through me when he said that all his war decorations meant nothing to him,but his "daughter"meant "EVERYTHING" to him..........I never touched her.

  41. I went through this with my daughter at 16 wanting to date and having a boyfriend. At 17 she ended up with a kid she grew up with through school and in her karate program. My wife and I trusted him but he turned out to be an a$$ and coldhearted. In march 2014 when we lost my sister in law to cancer, and to whom my daughter looked up to as her second mom, my daughter was devastated and unconsolable. He was more concerned about becoming an RA at his college than being there for her. Needless to say she dumped his a$$ right after that and basically the word boyfriend has not come up since then. And now that she is going away to college she is looking forward to closing that chapter in her life and hopefully moving on to bigger and better things. As far as letting them go out or staying at home to watch movies, i would rather have them in my house while I'm home than out and about. On the other hand if she has an iPhone, " he find my iPhone" app works really well if you know what i mean. As far as trusting him or your daughter, if you raised your daughter right by giving her strong moral values, and knowing that she has a good head on her shoulders, then I would not be too worried. But one thing is for sure, no matter how old they get as a father you never stop worrying about them. But I guess they need to live and learn and hopefully they will take some of our advice as parents.

  42. I don't get the over penetration comments. I have a dozen that I bought with my new bow. 5 deer with the same arrow and same broadhead. quartering away at 35 yards, perfect shot and through the off side shoulder blade. All the way through an no damage to the arrow. The only arrows I lost were the two I messed up with a robin hood. I have not had one issue with the inserts either.

  43. This is a complicated thing to answer...It is wrong to kill or intentionally end the life of a living creature for nothing more than enjoyment, ending in no other benefit to that life ending. That being said We all unintentionally kill things everyday from the ant one may step on to the butterfly that is on the windshield of the family car or squirrel under the tire. As your teacher may have taught you in every eco system there are predators and prey. Predators kill for food and the prey provide that food. Predators are at the top of the food chain prey and then plants are at the bottom. Any time we eat chicken off the summer BBQ or hit Micky D's for a burger,We have been at the top of that food chain...The difference between that and personally going out to shoot a turkey or a deer for the BBQ or burger is the hunter has taken personal responsibility in the taking of those particular life's. As a hunter we have great respect for the sustenance those lives have given us and respect those animals by allowing them their freedom until the time we do our best for a quick clean kill. Most hunters feel a profound respect for the animal they take and treat them with the respect they deserve through their role in lifes eco system. Now as in all things there are the good and the bad...most hunters are good and respectful...just like most farmers treat their live stock well whether that livestock becomes a chicken nugget or provides eggs for your Birthday cake and milk to wash it down with. The thing we all need to learn is how to treat not only each other with respect but the animals that help us through our lives with respect in the roles they play, be it life or death.
