Started working full time when I was 13. After 50 years I'm done. As of today I am retired. More fishing, hunting, and trapping. Hope to be more active here and other forums also. I wonder if I should tell the Wife?

You bite your tongue! Chupacabra Vs. The Alamo was an incredible movie! I watched it on my flight to New Orleans year before last. Fantastic movie. You should also check out Lavalanchula it has Steve Guttenberg in it and they fight tarantulas that came out of a volcano. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Nice day good beer good lunch

I'll admit I still watch Chips when I see it on the retro tv channel, I also still watch emergency . Honestly though how many fires and accidents can happen at one chemical plant before the government shuts them down?

I would have stopped being interested as soon as i saw Eric estrada was in it.

I took a walk down to the creek to get some shots of some wild flowers today. Hiking along when a momma wood duck and her kids went scurrying across the water. The babies made it safe to the creek bank and hid underneath. Momma however put on the "lame duck act" and began splashing around trying to lure me downstream with her. Out of nowhere from behind me this hawk came ripping past my head and nailed her right in the deepest section of the pool! I had my short lens on so I had to make a quick change before I could do anything. I could hear all kinds of splashing going on but now I couldn't see over a mound of creek rocks. When I finally got situated and peaked over the rise, I saw momma duck swim under the creek bank on the other side and this hawk swimming for the other shore! Momma took a solid hit and there were feathers floating everywhere. She curled up in a hole and didn't come back out while I was there. Not sure if she made it or not. Mr. Hawk didn't stick around long once he dried out from his high speed plunge! Very cool to see such an attack so close!

I have a 5am Flight tomorrow, setting the alarm for 3 just like turkey season. I'll probably hear just as many gobbles

This one is awesome

Daughter is a CPA who visits clients around Buffalo, this fawn is laying next to one of the clients building . She took pic from th desk she's using .

Good for you! Unfortunately I'll be retiring into a pine box. I wouldn't tell her, you can hunt and fish from 8-5 five days a week

After watching The Blue Lagoon I started swimming in our local lake in hopes of seeing Brooke Shields

Hhhhmmmm...I'd have to vote on "Attack of the killer tomatoes" being at least one of the worst... I'm on Kindle so can't post link to trailer...but if someone can....man some one was smoking something back in 1978....Lol.. Pretty sure they weren't growing anything strong enough for me to have watched it for more than 5mins...lol

Im out on the ,SS pos with Mrs. 302 when I see something off to the side in the water, birds I figure except it's to brown . Turns out to,be these two deer swimming across Irondequoit Bay just south of the bridge. The wife is saying don't scare them they'll get tired. I stayed back killed the motor for a bit . I tell you'll once they. crossed , I figured they catch their breath for a bit , nope full speed up a VERY steep hill .

Live from Minneapolis at 4:05am..this sucks

hit the crow call hard at 15,000 feet. They like that.

Watch Saturn Shine on Friday, No Equipment Required Astronomically speaking, Mars and Mercury dominated May. But now that it’s June, Saturn has a chance to shine. Our solar system’s “Lord of the Rings” will be at opposition starting the early morning hours of Friday, meaning it will align with Earth and the sun. This arrangement will provide amateur astronomers with one of their best opportunities this year to see the butterscotch beauty with the naked eye. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/03/science/saturn-opposition-rings-titan.html?_r=0

Happy Birthday Predate. Thanks again for the flashlight. My son uses it all the time. Hope you had a great day.

its on tap so I'll need some ziplock bags

Except for one model camera , I have had the best luck with Moultrie Game Cameras . I have three Moultrie I35 GameSpy cams . one has been out for 5years and still takes excellent pictures . Phade told us about the MOUltrie TRACE Premise cams and I now own 4 of those . I was able to buy them for $40 each . Great buy for the price . I did own a couple of Primos mini cams and neither of those worked very long and are in the junk pile . I had 3 Primos Truth cams and 2 of those are now trash . So , in my opinion , the Moultries are the best for low cost & efficiency but no doubt Phade will probably feel the Covert Black Flash are the best .

Do it while playing the song "hungry like the wolf" on your phone.

Great shots and good ID alloutdoors. Hopefully that young bird will get a little smarter as it gets older. Sometimes hawks impact with balled feet, punching instead of impaling, in order to stun. In a situation like this - on the water - it would seem the safer course of action. Impaling the duck might have resulted in the hawk going under with the duck.

I'm drinking Hop Dish IPA in Minneapolis, it's very good

Under the Yeti coozie hides a Dogfishhead 90 minute. Tending to smoker

Not usually a fan of vanilla in my beer, but this is understated and straight from the freezer . I'd drink it again .

It's been posted before.... NYS Senate Bill S4727B increases the fines for illegally taking (poaching) deer. it's passed through committee and passed unanimously 97-0 through the Assembly and passed through the environmental conservation committee in the senate. It's possibly a couple days from a floor vote by the senate to be fully passed. it only needs to be scheduled for a floor vote, in which it will surely pass by a land slide. it just has to be scheduled. the man that has to allow and schedule it for a floor vote is..... Senator John J. Flanagan 518-455-2071 [email protected] feel free to copy his legislative aid - [email protected] this is really close to getting passed and will give poachers much more reason for worry and reconsider doing it in the first place. take a minute to get ahold of them and let them know you support it. FYI - you support this or you're the poacher!

My dad bought this tree for my daughters 1st birthday I don't remember it being more than 6 feet tall at the time. She's now going on 14. Love this tree.

Congratulations on your retirement! I'm gonna go eight more years and then get a part time job. Got to have a reason to get up in the morning. Besides, the Mrs. and I would drive each other nuts!

I retired in 1998 . Cripes , that will make 18 years in October . How time flies !

Keep her working as long as you can !!...Congrats on your retirement !!

Congrats! The only retire I'll be doing is on the Tacoma..............................................

Love me some Bocce club pizza !! Gotta love the pepperoni that cup and hold little pockets of grease.

What is on the schedule for your Birthday? Hope you have a great day with family & friends! Maybe you'll get a new big bore rifle as a gift??

That is the 2014 model - not quite the cam the 2015/2016 versions are.

Theres a guy on ebay selling the Browning Dark Ops cams for $79 each, free shipping. They are factory refurbs with a 1 year warranty.

just as bad as still being on ny turkey time in ogdon utah. there is not a thing going on here at 130 am.

Only buy if you will run it 100% on video. The Strike Force is a much better pic camera.

Found a new spot for a possible tree stand location while out spring turkey hunting the last two weeks. Look's very promising, trail leads right to a creek crossing and the amount of tracks leading to it and through it were incredible. Got the goose bumps just pondering where to place my stand come fall!!! I know bow season is a long way off but already getting pumped!!! LOL.....

I have seen them out for a swim many times here on Long Island in the great South Bay, montauk, and orient point. Just last week I saw 2 swimming from shelter island to northaven near the south ferry with a screaming tide. They are excellent swimmers.

First card pulls of the new antler growing season!!! I am very happy to see this guy (aka Wannabe) still alive. The last pics I got of him were just before daylight on 12/13 (which was the final day of regular gun season) and he never showed up during post season like he has every other year. He is now a 5 year old...been watching since the summer of '12 when he was a yearling 8-pt. My fingers are crossed that he will add some inches after the mild winter and break 140 this year. We'll see in about 7-8 weeks... Last year: This guy almost fooled me, but I recognized him after taking a closer look at the pics. I saw him several times post season still wearing antlers into late february. He is a 4 year old...while he doesn't appear to have the best genetics, he has a lot of character and I can't wait to see what he looks like in August!!! Note the scar over his shoulders... The three evenly spaced notches in the left ear... Last year:

I don't make copper yet. Had some request so I plan on tinkering this summer and winter.

I think I may have finally caught up with the gobbler that I've been chasing for the past couple of weeks. My wife nearly killed him yesterday morning but he slipped through our fingers. Had him going this morning til 7:00 but neither I nor the real hens could lure him down the hillside. Eventually, he just shut up and I figured he had crossed the road above us. I left and drove around to check out another area and on the way back through where I had worked the bird earlier that morning, I spotted two longbeards fanned out in a corner of field circling each other and getting ready to fight!!! I hurried to get into position to intercept them further up the field. I got to the field not knowing exactly how far from them I was and was contemplating my next move when a full fan suddenly came into view at 35yds!!! I didn't even have time to sit...I raised the gun...he was facing away...I got him to raise life his head out of strut and delivered a load of Longbeard XR's to his face. Game over at 8:50. The other gobbler and 4-5 hens stood there and watched as I ran out to retrieve him. Not bad for the subordinate bird...almost 22lb, 10.5" beard and 1 1/4" hooks. One of the two was the "youth season" gobbler I had been after. The other one will have to wait until next year. This is the latest in season that I've ever punched a tag but it was worth the wait!!! It's been a rough season plagued by close calls and a miss early on. I've only really hunted two spots but was within striking distance of gobblers nearly every morning but just couldn't seal the deal. He lost a few tail feathers during the retrieval process. I also got a nice gash on my finger from grabbing his legs... This one's for you Reeltime...limbhanger!!!

you bringing any home ? Just askin

Their more of an issue in humid environments, like Florida, but still nothing that I would prefer to chance.

Getting them swapped out in our daughters Civic, was a piece of cake . She had a day off I called ahead made appointment , drank some coffee and watched tv for idk and hour and a half while they swapped them out. This was late winter early spring of this year, I remembered because if I had boots I would have shed hunt behind the dealer...... Here's her '02 Civic, still going strong .

After that swim they probably stopped for a Genny Cream Ale!! ...LOL....Cool pics!!

That much shade...hemlock...but deer will hammer it if not protected...If it's actually in the wood line and the right type of trees....... a carefully laid out hinge cutting could do what you want...if you open up some sun Blue berry bushes are great...but usually only 6ft tall.

I took a youth out for his first season a few times...with his scouts baseball and being at his mom's we only made it out 2 times both times were a blast and 1 time we got rained on pretty good...having him experience the woods waking up and gobbles off in a distant got him itching for next season...good thing I'm a way better deer hunter than turkey I will get him in front of a deer this youth season...knock on wood... On to fishing season...old man caught this in Canandaigua sat night Oh and the never ending chipmunk season Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
