Where I live is a Chipmunk metropolis, they are all over the place and in to everything, my sheds, my vehicles, my lawn equipment, farm tractor, the wife's flower gardens and even in the house sometimes. When you have dogs as do I and especially an Airedale, they are unrelentingly after them wherever they go. I ain't got time to tell of the damage caused around here by the chipmunks and also by the dogs trying to get at them. Anyhow I set myself up with a rig especially for sitting on the front porch and knocking off any Chipmunk that shows itself. A Taurus model 62 22 pump patterned after the old Winchester gallery guns which I can remember shooting at the midway in Sylvan Beach when I was a kid. I made a couple of mods to help with my old eyes, a truglo front sight and a dovetail mounted Skinner peep. Has been working pretty fair so far, I have picked off a dozen or so this week and there are still plenty more from where they came from to go. Al My Taurus

Unless it happens within the last 20 years.... history will soon be history. Instead, these meaningful and important dates to our country will be replaced with new ones... like the anniversary of when you could pee in whatever bathroom you choose.

seem every dang turtle wants to cross the road i'm walking on so far I have moved 7 snappers one silver dollar size and one I thought I might have to get a pry bar 5 painted 2 boxer 1 yellow spotted 1 bog turtle all this in the last month

No ! I was so happy this was not brought up here, as I was sick of the overload of news on this ! This was one place I was free from it .

What do you mean by "I have a block I put in today to start drawing them."

Sorta on a side note. I've always suspected my dad of 92 was in WW II but never had positive confrimation as he's never talked about it. He has a 30-40 Krag with ramp sights I've thought maybe from the war. I asked my 2 older brothers and 2 older sisters and all were aware but said he declined to ever talk about it. Sorta feel jipped not knowing where he was but NOT going to ask if he's avoided talking about it for 70 years. My sister sent me these pics. Marine ! The only reason I got confirmation was about month ago he was in hospital and nurse asked if he was a veteran and he said "yes".

At least the gorilla story died down.

It's about to get Yeti'd

I got out fishing with my buddy on Conesus yesterday. The fish are spawning and laying on beds, so the action was pretty slow. We did catch a good variety of fish though, bluegills, rock bass, largemouth, smallmouth, perch and northerns. I had one of the biggest nothererns Ive seen in quite some time roll on my jerkbait just as I got it to the boat. Now that I think about it, it could have been a muskie. It was pretty light colored. No really big bass this time, a few in the 3lb range and the biggest smallie was probably just over 2 1/2, but I didnt weigh that one.

First solo trip on the river today. Between locks 9 and 10. One of my favorite stretches . Saw a mink up close but he scooted before I could get a pic. The launching and landing of the bassboat can be a pain by myself. But it went pretty good today. Oh yeah.....caught six smallmouth. The biggest about three and a half pounds.

Have a wonderful and happy birthday

Today is anniversary of D Day. Have had news on for 1 hour and 40 minutes and nary a word about it. My 13 year old daughter made mention of this. Muhammad Ali and politics is all

Trout have scales...They are small, but they are there..

Kiss my a$$ Monday AND all u Jet haters!! This was phenomenal and I highly recommend.

That's because you called Walmart and were asking about fireworks

It has to do with NICS...delays are common...has nothing to do with where u buy it..sometimes the NICS system is just bogged down with searches..

lI haven't worn a dog collar since my goth days..... Could I attach it to my para cord bracelet ?

Caliper? Did they kill the Gorilla with brake parts?

Too soon?

I have a decent sized pond. I have transplanted several migrating painted turtles to it in in recent years. Neighbor has an enormous pond and the larger Snappers come down to mine to lay eggs and use it as a nursery.I have had occasion to help huge Snappers back to the large pond in my wheel barrow.It's a decent hike for them.

Oh gawd

425,000 people died in the battle of Normandy. Just for today, I'd love to hear nothing on the news, about Hillary, Bruce Jenner, or Beyonce. Disgrace.

It's just a block of untreated 2x2 about 4 inches long, soaked in Apple scent, hanging about 12 feet off the ground near the edge of the property. By pruning back the Appletrees and underbrush around them we hope they will produce more heavily this year. We hope that with a patch of clover/kalewith draw deer in. The block is just a test hypothesis. Since mineral/food licks are illegal but attractant are not. I figure it was worth a shot to see if the Apple attractants my buddy uses actually work. The block is unreachable by deer so as to prevent them being able to lick it. And I expect the scent will be gone within 48 hrs. Sent from my D6708 using Tapatalk

M80's were responsible for the demise of all my toys

You don't own a .22, ??? Paulie, Me Boy, that's UN-AMERICAN !!....<<grin>>....

The shorties were suburb! The roast great taste just a bit tougher than I was hoping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's done! We all loved it! A big thanks for everyone one in the above thread….

Terrible parenting for sure. I think that gorilla thought that kid was his own..

Yup. Looks just like venison goulash Lunch

Happy Birthday.!!

Happy Birthday !

I can't remember how long it took us last year to do 50 , you definitely get held up by the groups ahead of you .

Happy Birthday !

How about that, Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to you!

You don't need a wall the entire distance, in places yes In others more patrol agents. Heck I sure we have land mines around someplace.. as for cost, round up illegals and have them do the labor..

Nope...But I sure hope he strolls by this fall...he was illegal to shoot at our place on that day last year..note the empty tree stand in pic....

Yeah, but the .22 is more FUN !! My uncle once had a Winchester original..Damn fool swapped it even up for a Marlin lever action !! I use the BOD myself, because it seems that everywhere around the Mermaid's property, it's tough to get a shot at one of the little devils without fear of hitting a building or a piece of equiptment.

I love the Troegs brewery. Ever get the chance you should go

Absolutely! A bad day fishing is better than a great day working. Says so right on my tackle box lol.

I keep saying that when we no longer have Jenny (our Lab) we won't get another dog. It's been almost 30 years straight with my dogs and I don't know if I have the patients in me for training another and all the other things that go with dog ownership. Then tonight I'm out front with Jenny and she is doing her business one last time for the evening. It was dark and Jenny was standing right out by the road, staring at a shadowy figure on the other sidewalk. I could see what looked to be a small dog, maybe a puppy. It was white-ish colored and had an arrow straight tail. The handler and dog were staring back at Jenny........I spoke loudly, "hello, is that a lab puppy?" the person across the street said "no, a golden retriever puppy". I said "come on over!!" Almost 13 year old Jenny played with 9 week old "River" for 15 minutes! The lady walking the pup was real nice. I asked if she'd mind if I grabbed my wife from inside to come out and see the new pooch, she of course had no problem with that. My wife is (was) dead set against another dog but that may have changed tonight! What a beautiful looking dog, real light colored, BIG paws, great head and tail. The two dogs were great together. We look forward to seeing River again.

I stand by my girly glass! LOL

Had this bunch of long beards spend the winter out in back of my place a few years ago, the wife would clear a little patch of snow on the ground and put out some corn for them and they would come down off the hill and eat it every day. Al

I started waging war on the ones around my garden after they ate 17 of the 18 tomato plants we set outb last week. The one that was left had the main stem nipped off so it was a loss too. Shot one 3 evenings ago just 30yds from the kitchen sliding door & missed one down by the garden (about 70yds) the next day trying a shot W/O a rest. Here is my 200yd rig. A 5rmm RF Magnum converted to CF using a Shroeder bolt head & cases. Shoots 33gr V-Max bullets @ 2450 fps. Sighted in 2 1/2" high @ 100yds, it is zeroed @ 185yds & about 1 1/4" low @ 200yds. 1/2" 5-shot groups @ 100yds Groups open up to just over 1" @ 200yds Same energy @ 185yds as a 17 HMR has @ the muzzle & costs me about $15 to load 100rds. I use 6.8gr of Alliant 2400 so I get 1000 loads from a pound of powder. Cartridges are loaded to .015 off the lands so the 33gr V-Max bullets won't function through the magazine, but Shroeder 40gr FMJ RN bullets will feed 3 rounds through the detachable box magazine.

Easy there.....I'm already fixed.

udder than that I have no idea ????
