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….

Larry , You have mail. Sent you link.

This stems a question : How do the Amish buy guns without picture ID for the NICS check ? If you're Amish please respond to this question. Oh wait.......never mind

Yep that's just about the #'s the gave... with cost of living increases but no percentages given...this is just a packet they sent to see if there is any interest...We are lawyer freaks so there would have to be in depth talks and reviews before we would even consider it seriously.

Sorry must have missed that. Something that has helped keep ants off my peach and fig trees is to put Vaseline on the base of the tree because ants/bugs don't like to walk on that stuff. Make sure you lightly tie some aluminum foil or something to have a barrier between the tree and the Vaseline because it will girdle the tree. The only problem ive had with peaches is leaf curl which can really stunt growth.

OK I have to confess...I haven't a clue as to what you guys are talking about.....

Shouldn't Obama be laying a wreath on national television to pay honor?

I heard, a sling shot and well placed marble.

Happy Birthday

My wife saw a bear.... on the side of I-80, in PA. Just munching & digging on the side of the highway. I told her if she ran it over, I would have a nice rug.

Happy B-day CC! Now that you've made it "over the hill" you can coast the rest of the way down! Have a good one!

Both my grandfather's served and were both there on d day. One grandfather was on the ground, he took a round in his shoulder earning one of his two purple hearts that day. My other grandfather was in the air that day, he was a navigator. I always think how lucky I am they both made it through that day and the war, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this. Thank you to all veterans.

Happy 30th Culver!

Happy Birthday and may your year be a great one....

Diplomat. Am I right? You don't want a wall? Why not? Our country is being invaded by an enemy. It all needs to be stopped. Not only do we need a wall, we need to go after any politician that refuses to enforce our immigration laws. They need to treated as traitors. Please look at what is going on here. Look at what is happening at these riots outside the Trump rallies. They are attacking Americans for exercising their rights. These people that are coming to this country are not coming here to be patriotic Americans. They are coming here to bleed us of everything that Americans have worked for and died for. If we don't do something, anything, to stop it, our country is done.

Happy Birthday Culver!! Enjoy!!

I'm a Giants fan so it'll only sour the flavor for several years but then when I least expect it, it'll make everything taste great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yessir!

I have no solution, yet I chuckle , I worry when crossing get into Canada , will my NRA sticker cause a search ? Is there a loose .22 or shotgun shell rolling around in my trunk ? Yet on the southern " boarder" it's catch and release of criminals coming across, and the don't catch many to begin with.

What solutions? Any wall or fence will not stop the problem. You think all the illegal arms and drugs come walking, boating, or driving across our borders? No! They get flown in just like many of the illegal immigrants. What's next? Put a bubble around the USA to protect us? Walls and bubbles are no solution! That will never happen. Like I said already, money talks and the corrupt turn away. If you are trying to turn a bad spin on Trump, you picked the wrong issue. I don't think he means actual walls. I think it's metaphorical. Create a better line of defense against illegals. Step up security.

My luck in seeing a bear sucks so bad I can't even open your video on iPhone. ! I wouldn't shoot one myself Takes me an hour to get deer out , don't want a rug , not a fan of tricinosis , meat yield poor and not getting mounted. Not against others shooting one its just not for me. Rather have someone else see it after I let it walk. Congrats on your first bear on cam. Grrrr lol.
