  1. Hi guys i know i have mentioned house hunting, after almost two years I'm in the process of buying a place on 30 acres. I'm really excited to work on the place and make it our own. Me and my girlfriend walked it today and found plenty of deer and Turkey sign, excited for the next chapter in our lives!

  3. Helped me construct a bridge to span 14.5’ over a creek for my ATV. Will make things much easier recovering deer. No way I could have done it without his knowledge and muscle. Solid as a rock even with me on the ATV. Bob is just one of those friends that will do anything he can to help. His mentor program is just further proof Thanks much my friend. Hopefully we will be using it to recover a deer you kill there!

  7. Jenn, and I tried again this afternoon...no luck, but a good healthy walk which was nice. Its nice she will even go out in the woods, and look for deer antlers that aren’t even there. We went to the opposite side of the property I typically hunt, only found 3 rubs, during our slow 2 hr 1.10 mile walk....we did find a telephone poll that leads to a house deep in, that was scratched up by a bear, had hair on it face high. Pretty cool...

  9. Remember When? As a youngster I thought it would be great to catch something that would make it in the Genny record book. From The Utica OD's John Pitarresi Louis A. Wehle was, among other things, a brewer. He brewed Genesee Beer. He also was a very dedicated outdoorsman. One day, he put those things together, and the Genesee New York State Fishing Contest was born. I admit that Genesee wasn’t my favorite beer, but I still have a vivid and startlingly wonderful memory of the two ice cold bottles of Jenny that I received in partial payment for several hours of cleaning the gigantic Hobart dishwasher at the Hamilton College commons on a hot spring day more than 40 years ago. No champagne ever tasted better than that, but the good feelings I have about Genesee beer have more to do with the fishing contest the brewery ran from 1946 into the 1990s. Each spring, in grocery stores, bait shops, and taverns across the state, you could findthe pamphlets for the contest. There would be a list of the previous season’s winning fish and anglers in 13 categories. The lures and baits they were caught on were included, along with some fishing tips, a list of state records, a fish identification chart, an entry blank and rules, and, best of all, a map detailing where all the top catches were made. I’d grab that thing, hope that some of the big fish had caught somewhere near my home, and then dream of fishing that spot. Which is something I rarely got a chance to do unless one of those red fish-shaped indicators nosed up to the midpoint of the Niagara River, which was about a half-mile from my house. There were these fish all over the place. The Finger Lakes. Lake Ontario. Oneida Lake. Wiscoy Creek. Chautauqua Lake. Lake Champlain. The Hudson River. I had only a dim awareness of most of those places, and had little hope of ever seeing them. Which maybe made it all the more exciting. The contest was the brainchild of Wehle, who had reorganized the brewery after prohibition. It was a big deal for many years, certainly were I grew up. I recently found one of the old contest brochures, from 1987. The grand prize cash awards were $75, $50 and $25 for the top three fish of each species. Strangely, in the listings for the 1986 winners, there were very few fish from Central New York. There was a northern pike of 15 pounds from the Mohawk River, taken by William Schultz, and a rock bass, also from the river, taken by Joseph Kiuber. Mike Stolarczyk caught a 5-pound, 9-ounce pickerel from the Black River that missed being the grand prize winner by five ounces, and Tami Stolarczyk placed third in rock bass with a 1-pound, 12½-ounce fish, also from the Black River. There might be other local anglers in there – hometowns aren’t listed – and there might have been other fish caught locally, because the indicators don’t always match up with the lists. I must have wished, as a little kid, that I might someday find my way into that list of winners. I know for sure, each year when I first saw that brochure, I got really fired up to fish. That was the real power of the Genesee New York State Fishing Contest, I guess. Getting people excited about getting out and fishing. The contest has been gone a long time, and Louis A. Wehle even longer, but they both did a great job for a long time.

  14. I entered a lake trout in 1975 taken from Keuka Lake that weighed 16 pounds 12 ounces...I got a certificate for my entry, but there were two other lakers taken from Keuka that year that were bigger, both weighing around 18 pounds...That was before the Lake Ontario Trout/salmon fishery developed.. That lake trout is still the biggest laker I have ever caught ( or seen) from the Finger lakes, although I know many bigger ones have been taken.. I caught it on a traditional style 5 leader Seth Green rig, fished by hand ( no rod)...It took a Sutton 31 and it took me a half hour to land it...I was 25 years old, and as I can recall I got pretty drunk that day...

  15. After always hearing @Dom mention hamburger soup, it always sounded like something I just had to make. Coincidentally, yesterday my dad was talking about some different recipes he wants to try that he had found, for us to make while we are up at camp working. One was hamburger soup! So I had him send it to me, so I just threw a double batch together, for dinner, and lunches for the week. Super simple, easy, fast, and delicious! This is why this thread is my favorite...next time I will use fresh garlic, I typically do not like granulated unless its on meats, etc, but for ease of a quick simple dish for camp, I followed the recipe to a T 2 lbs ground meat 1 can drained kidney beans 1 can undrained diced tomatoes 1 can beef stock, and 4 cups water 4 stalks diced celery 1 diced head of cabbage sea salt/pepper/granulated garlic/paprika

  19. People with rural or even exurban lives and lifestyles are much more difficult to influence and control. And people in cities can't even target practice in their back yards, so that's an added bonus. Always keep in mind that the primary goal of a Leftist is control. They want the power to tell others how to live. They have zero interest in making the country better in any way. They just want to control it. Watch closely any of the idiots currently queuing for the 2020 race. Out of the mouths of every one of them what you'll hear every couple of sentences is, 'This is what you should do as a voter, and this is how you should all live.' They're not even trying to hide it any more. They've become very open and bold about it since Bernie opened that door. Now it's all the rage and the kids love it. I find it terrifying.

  42. Back in the day......OMG I'm dating myself, I went to this elderly gentlemen's house and listened to his deer hunting stories. After an hour and a half he gave us our certificate. I swear to this day I have done everything by the book and never shot anyone! lol This was 40 years ago life was just so much simpler then.

  47. Three years from now, when I start collecting Social Security, I'll end all work relationships and sell my NY home and the property I rent. All the proceeds will be deposited in the bank and so will my SS checks. I'll get a debit card and pay any bills online. I'm gonna buy a custom Sprinter van, or maybe the big Ford van, and hit the road for at least a year, living out of the van. I don't have a wife, so I'm free to do anything I like. I have a daughter in Oregon, one in SC and a son in Texas now. I have friends and relatives in half the states in this country too. The plan is to see the USA, and all my peeps while investigate where I want to land for the rest of my life. I'm leaning towards the western mountains of NC now, but you never know where the trail will take you. I'll start out in late spring heading north to Maine, then cross the northern states for the summer, heading west to Washington and Oregon. From there head south in the fall, staying completely out of California, as I have no desire to even visit there, much less live there, then cruise the southern states for the winter. I don't plan on seeing all the states, but I will see about 3/4 of them in that year. Depending on how it goes, I'll either buy a place at the end of that year, or just do it again for a 2nd year. I actually find the idea of being a drifter very appealing. I should be quite the experience. NY was supposed to be the place I stayed to the end, but these Progressive Leftist Marxists are completely intolerable to a man born free and determined to stay that way.
