I once had a coyote try to drop a boulder on me, by using an elaborate system of ropes and pulleys …. So back off man!!!!!!

Gotta start carrying when I check the Trail Cams . Never know when Wiley might show up in the day time .

If he paints a tunnel on the rock wall, all bets are off...

Uptown is a textbook progressive. What's great about the people on this site is we accept him and deal with him. If we were all in his world he would not tolerate us for one second. He would stop at nothing to shut us up and destroy our character. What I find interesting is why does he spend so much time in our world? His world must suck!

No comment……..

Marinated chicken breasts , on the grill, steamed green beans and home made tater salad.

Rules are Rules !

One thing is for sure. It is far better to carry a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not be carrying. I believe that was the whole point of Eddie's post. It never occurred to me to take it any other way nor is there really any reason to.

"Thank you for having some common sense, that is exactly what I'm talking about. You've adapted to your physical abilities/inabilities and made some changes to your style". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Really not much to do with common sense more about the laws of nature, as we age we slow down. I still get around fine but like I said there is no way I run or climb like I did when 20. My age does not matter, I sure as hell won't be staying home because I can't evade dangerous situations as well as I did when young. If I can walk I will still be climbing those hills just a lot slower and if I keel over dragging out a Buck so be it. I can think of a heck of a lot more worse ways to go. Any varmints that may find my carcass better darn well make sure I am dead before they start dining because I will be packing. Al

I think seeing them while being elbow deep in a deer carcass would be more natural than a coyote trying to prevent anyone from checking their cams,lol To me, that just sounds like an excuse to ignore season dates and take a crack at any opportunity that presents itself so why not just come right out and say it the way FSW does. At least he doesn't try to sugar coat it. If you're approached by a pack during deer season then by all means light 'em up if it's that threatening. Season is open then and you're likely already armed to begin with. Day or night fire away! Like I said, the odds of this yote standing guard over Eddies cams during daylight is slim to none anyhow. It's good for storytelling to create more fear mongering about the "ferocious coyote" is about all it really is.

I'd reply to that, Rob, but Growie asked me right off the bat to BEHAVE ..... SOOO I'm gonna be a good boy and not even MENTION the visual I got when she told about dropping her drawers and jumping around trying to get the ants off her legs......<< BIG smile>>.....

Cheers!! Watching USA vs Ecuador Men's soccer and enjoying this...

I'd like to take this moment to thank you Dom for starting this thread. No matter what your choices in beer are.

Don't blame you a bit for wanting to carry in the woods. What about the 2 legged crazies out there as well. Anyone hear a banjo?

Having a ballast point grapefruit sculpin. I hate grapefruit so thought i wouldnt like it. Pleasently sulrised however. Good beer.

Tater& cheese..Just plain, but my daughter did put sour cream on hers.. They were good. She basted them with a little seasoned butter while the were on the grill. I think Im onto something here!!!

Sensible gun control?? This is what their gun proposals do if enacted. Anyone who finds this sensible has no respect for Constitutional rights or Rule of Law. This is why the NRA fights against it. This is why it's dangerous to our freedom. This is why people who want it are stupid. First, who defines what prevents someone from legally buying a firearm? And how accurate is the input to the system? Second, there isn't just one terror watch list, and the lists that exist are based on secret evidence not up for judicial review. So people like the Weekly Standard's Steve Hayes wrongly end up on a list with little recourse for getting off. Denying basic constitutional rights without due process is not a solution — unless you're a statist hell bent on undermining the Second Amendment.

Any cam is only as impressive as what it manages to capture in front of it. 1 or 100...the number just means you have an increased chance of one of them being the best cam going...

Crappy beer. Laugh it up folks! Using my cash for the move!

I always have whoever I bring out to fish reel in the first fish while trolling because when I do we only get one lol

Sitting on a rocker on the neighbor's porch. Life is good! This is our weekend boys, if you're a dad, have a dad, had a dad, etc enjoy it!

Oh lol. I actually just ordered a pitcher, but they ran out of pitchers so they were using boots. Probably 20 or so, honestly don't remember. Maybe 30? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My apologies fasteddie if I misunderstood your original post.

Nice catch, Grampy... I'm heading for Keuka tomorrow, targeting smallies, but there are some hog LMs in there too. I hooked and lost the biggest largemouth I have ever seen there last June.. He jumped 3 times close to the boat and threw the jig on the third jump, but I got a REAL good look at him and I am sure he was well over 6 pounds. Of course, if you don't LAND the fish, he can be as big as you want, right ??

The entire EU thing is even more screwed up than US politics. It's also more blatant, but the citizens are generally more cowed, (they are all basically 'Socialist' States) so it's become a matter of sheer propaganda and herding sheep. Thankfully some of the 'sheep' are fighting back. I have no familial ties to Great Britain whatsoever, and no particular favoritism one way or the other, but I've been watching the Brexit discussion closely because it is important on a global scale. The European Union is a global Communist construct which I adamantly oppose. I'll support anyone who stands against it. The TPP and TTIP are US buy-ins for that global poker game. I say. f*** them too.

You forgot an important part of Airedales quote: Not to beat a dead horse, but this really bothers me. You, Eddie,and myself have been on this site about the same amount of time. Where in all these years have you seen Eddie portray the type of attitude you are trying to attach to his post in the following statement? I can answer that if you'd like...no where. Passion on subjects is a great thing, but being Zealot to the point of accusatory , not so much.

Going to the first game of the season - Hudson ValleyCats - so dinner looks to be Hot Dogs and Beer .... healthy ehh ?

"If a person has gotten to the point that they can't evade a potentially dangerous situation (real or perceived), then they need to stop putting themselves IN that situation." -------------------------------------------------------------- At age 67 I can not run or climb like I did when I was 20 and as years keep going by as much as I hate to admit it I slow down more and more. That being said I will be hitting the Timber until I croak even if I have to use a cane and I will be packing. Al

GOA’s Erich Pratt debates gun control with Adam Winkler and Brina Milikowsky on Public Radio

Uptown you are more angry with the Pro 2nd Amendment groups than with ISIS and terrorist. You do know as a NYS resident SAFE ACT was to be a TOTAL ban on Firearms, that includes you so call Hunting rifle. When some drunk kills people with his car are you on board to ban CARS? when a person is killed with a Knife are you banning knives? When I read your post I think what the hell is this person doing on a Hunting forum. If you feel that strongly about being controlled by the Government, Bow Hunt only.

I'm just glad the UPS guy wasn't making a delivery..

The little bugger..lol

Just trying to keep the mood light...........

So Lawd...your mind went right to crabs huh.....Hhhmmmm Mine went to ticks...different life styles....lol

If the message ever comes through that we all have to turn in our guns, you will see a full blown revolution in this country. Not that we aren't headed that way anyhow. We will be fighting our own military and leo's. I don't think that will end well.

I always carry when we are up at the cabin,ever since i came across bear tracks..You just never know..

So when did hunters become such pussies? When they started seeing what roams around in the dark the next day on their cams or WHAT? SERIOUSLY, how many here can say they've ever felt threatened by a yote? I'm not talking about being skeered by their yips and yaps 100 yards away. I mean full blown stand offs where the only course of action would have been to shoot the beast or become lunch for the pack. I doubt too many..... if ANY!

Crustaceans hate me. Lobsters, crabs, shrimps. I never get tired of eating them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here's one from Ballston Lake from '14. My wife got it on her pink jig stick while fishing for pan fish, what surprise she got. I used to fish Saratoga a bunch as a kid but that was when I had relatives that had lake rights.

Shrimp marinated in pineapple juice , soy sauce , Wilber's revenge hot sauce , sweet baby rays , fresh garlic and some fries dusted with sea salt

Nothing worse than having ants in your pants !

I'm working hard around the house and watching golf even harder so #2 it is

They were all to busy haggling over ethics reform to get anything else done. NYS has one of the most disfunctional governments in the country! But it could pass the safe act in the dead of night with no problem. It all boils down to who wants what passed and when! Total BS!!!!

That is a BIG yote!

Visited the peregrines this morning after getting back from a week of vacation and found that two young falcons have successfully fledged. Here's a few shots from today and some other recent photos.

I came into work this morning to find a group of people in my office with their faces plastered against my window. It was a nice way to start the day, took a few shots before mom started working her way back.

thanks. i checked out the website. so you stay in the cabin and hike right into the park to hunt I'm guessing? that sounds cool. something i think id be def interested in one day. good luck on the hunt!
