There’s a road killed doe about a mile up the road. We have a local eagle population that spend their time along the Cohocton River down the hill and I know of an active nest overlooking the river. I got these pics of them hanging around feeding on the carcass yesterday afternoon. Based on the feather color pattern and the sizes being the same, I believe the darker headed ones are golden eagles and not juvenile bald eagles. The pic of the golden in flight was the largest bird in the group. If that’s all correct, there were three bald eagles and four golden eagles in the area. I see baldies occasionally, but always single ones prior. And I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a golden for sure before this. I was able to creep up in the truck to within 100-ish yards and got these shots standing on the running boards. I did try to sneak up closer on foot, but that’s when they took flight.17 points

Well…now that we closed on our 150 acres where we are going to build our house, I need a tractor for land work…cleanup and maintenance. Going to buy the Mahindra 2660 with loader and 72 inch brush hog. Will buy a grapple bucket separately. Going brand new. I don’t want someone else’s headache. The dealer is 1.5 miles down the road. May pull the trigger Friday afternoon. I can’t rely on others and my wife and I are caged animals ready to play. We did a lot with just my side by side last summer but we need more.8 points

R1 tires are the way to go, unless you will be operating on pavement most of the time. R4 tires, that come on about 90 % of compact tractors, are far less effective on soft ground, mud, or snow.4 points

After a nice long 0.2 mile walk i stumbled across these matches side by side.. lol. I could see them at the bottom of one of my late season plots. This deer didnt show much at all during fall, until late season, he was here nearly every day bulking back. Might make the hit list this year!4 points

Signs of spring at the ranch. Venison burgers on the grill and the fish cleaning station is now open for business. Next weekend thinking test run on the lake. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk3 points

Most likely an immature Bald eagle. Here is a closer pic of one I took last summer . I watched them grow up all summer so I'm sure he was a young bald eagle.lol3 points

Originally I was getting the 2638 HST. My buddy who is a lifetime farmer went and looked at them for me and thought I should go bigger. So instead of 38 HP HST he recommends the 60 HP with shuttle. I went back and looked at them last night. He is probably right. For 5-6G over a lifetime I don’t want to regret going too small. Open cab for me. I don’t want to tear up a can in the woods and I like bring aware of my surroundings. I can get a soft cab for winter if I really need it.3 points

I had a great time last Sunday and shot quite well. I am very happy with my new bow. I may go to the cassety Hollow shoot this Sunday, not 100%. The streams are starting to look good as well.2 points

Sometimes you walk 20 miles for 1 shed and then find 4 in one small spot. Keep grinding.2 points

I would focus on those bubble lines. And maybe tie another nymph on and then some type of indicator which would allow you get a more natural drift once mended.2 points

Did some public land grinding. #13, @67 miles for the year. Yesterday I Did 6 miles+ and got a pretty dandy one. Exciting that I can hunt this deer also. Time in the woods now is so key. You can see all of the sign and really cover ground before it gets super thick. Headed to some more public today, hanging cams and looking for birds.2 points

You might want to keep checking Runnings (Lockport) for 16 ga slugs. There was a guy by the ammo shelves there today, who said they had some, the last time he was there, but they didn’t have any today. They had a few 25 round boxes of 16 ga birdshot, not sure what size. They still have a (2) box per day limit on ammo sales. They had a halfway decent selection. No 30/30 rifle ammo, so I picked up (2) boxes of 12 ga. , 2-3/4 oz, Hornady SST slugs. I was running low on those, but should be in decent shape now. They were going for $ 14.99 a box. Had I not found those 12 ga SST’s, then most of my shotgun hunting this year would have been with my 16 gauges. I am fairly well stocked with those slugs. I would be willing to trade 12 gauge, 2-3/4” Hornady SST’s, if you are interested, for 4/5 oz 16 ga Remington sluggers. I’ll give you (2) of those 16’s for each Hornady SST 12. I also have lesser quantities of Federal and Winchester 16 gauge slugs, if you would prefer those, for the same deal. I am in northern Erie county. PM me if you want to make a trade. My sluggers are maybe 18 years old, but they have been stored properly and are still working very well. This was the last one I fired (day after last Thanksgiving). This fella caught it for me in his rib cage:1 point

I don't know how well the cobra or king cobra weave used to make a rifle sling would work for a bow sling. I'd look up making a standard snake knot for something like that, it would be a little thinner and a small loop in front of the sling to put on the stabilizer bolt. Here's the video.1 point

I'm still hoping this gets approved this year, I very much want to grow an orchard of my own. Maybe my kids will be able to enjoy it. https://www.thenews-messenger.com/story/news/2022/02/23/ken-baker-scientists-may-able-restore-american-chestnut/6880174001/1 point

Honestly, for a day of fishing I would get a guide. Then get the card. It comes with a brochure and you'll probably pass a lake or two on your trip. Tell you what. Go to the hotdog stand in Reykjavik and order two with the works. If you don't think they're the best you've ever had, I'll refund your money. https://www.fodors.com/world/europe/iceland/experiences/news/youll-never-guess-where-i-had-the-best-hot-dog-in-the-world Sheep's head and fermented shark ... you're on your own.1 point
