Welcome, Graham Patrick! This is number 6 for me and I am in heaven! He is so perfect I had to share

Chilean Sea Bass quesadilla

Picked up a new Stoeger M3500 Turkey Gun last year, but was injured by a car while out on a walk, and couldn't put it through it's paces until this past week. Still on the mend with my left shoulder, but got the ok from my Doc for spring turkey this year!!! Here are a few pics of my new gun. Was using Winchester Longbeard's in the 3" shell with 1 7/8oz of #5's, and this pic was shot at 40 Yards off the bench at my gun club. Really like this gun a lot. best of luck to all the Gobbler chasers this season

So.. I got a smoker from a good friend today. I decided to try making jerky with thin cut venison. The meat is marinating now and Ill put it in the smoker tomorrow... here a few pics to share!

First time ever I asked a girl in a cat hat to spot me! Desperate times indeed! Not intended to diminish the seriousness of this situation, just a little levity.

Was able to utilize my nephews being home from.school.. so I taught them tree transplanting and demolition..lolwe.moved the red cedar to a swampy area across the street to make a hedge to get deer to cross where we wanted them using the trees for a hedge/ coverthis awful built shed was on a recent land purchase , it needed to come down but we saved the 2x4 and 2x6 to build a couple of box blinds later this year.

I won a crossbow !!!!!guess who needs to go get her bow permit because I am in for a bow now woohoo.

This has been talked about in DEC for a few years now. As some states already do the course online. So far they are not changing to that. In NY, you need to complete the online course, and then attend the eight hour hands on instruction, to be certified. Not saying this because I'm an instructor. But in every class I've been a part of, there are always a few that have never held a firearm, or have done so very little. Much less be shown how to safely handle one. The hands on field instructions, are a way to actually work with students, with live fire, and the many different aspects of safe firearm handling. And other aspects of hunting too, like tree stand safety, blood tracking, and transporting firearms safely. Most people on this forum are more than qualified to be a mentor to their sons, daughters or other young people. But there are some young people who have a strong interest in hunting or shooting, that don't have anyone close to them, to show them the safe way to get started. We do that, and many of us volunteer to take young people out with a parent or guardian, to get them going farther in the right direction.

this whole quarantine thing really ain’t too bad. I feel bad for you city folk that can’t go out in the back 40 and do chorin! If I was stuck inside I don’t know what I’d do! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hunkered down in and around the house today, so I got the Sous Vide going with a top round from a 2018 doe that was in the freezer. 9 hour bath, finished in a skillet, crusted with peppercorns. The absolute definition of tender. The American Haze was good too.

Tell your friend thank you for working hard. The nurses and doctors are putting their lives on hold for this so everyone should be thanking them.

I have been social isolating myself in the woods.. After covering dozens of miles this month I've finally found some good sign on some local public land. Good sign or bucks 2 1/2 or older are rare around here. Pics of a couple runs and the tree I've picked to sit in.

You seem to be sticking with the black sausage theme lately....I’m starting to worry about you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why hello there little lady..have you seen any horns lying around? Just this way....thanks These sheds are way too fast for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got a little carried away last night. Felt real good last night not so much this morning. This is a small sampling of what was had. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With everything going on it was good to get a chance to clear my head and get a little group therapy. Try and get out if you can for a little of your own head clearing. I hope everyone is safe and healthy. Be good to each other.

Brady might be done anyway if they don't have a season. Just was checking cable guide and ESPN has - national stone skipping competition and putt putt championship on. Not kidding.

Waiting for test results from March 17th, I am home bound with my kitchen... Mac and cheese with leftover venison bacon burger, smoked sausage, extra butter and cheese and seasoned bread crumbs... the other is the same venison bacon burgers... super moist and delicious, a nice tomato and cottage cheese salad with a side of fresh baked acorn squash... and scratch chocolate chip cookies!

Riding out the quarantine with Good Luck burgers, Lentils and Hayburners.

Seemed like a perfect spring day for some early trout fishing on a stream that's open year round. Found a great new section to fish, drifting garden worms on ultra light spinning rod with 4 lb test.

Jenn’s birthday tomorrow, she wanted Rueben quesadillas. So i made my best attempt

All is well, Thanks. I check in about everyday, My phone shit the bed and now having a heck of a time with Taptalk trying to get hooked back up. Bucks are putting new growth on already and even found a couple sweet sheds out in the back 40... Everyone stay safe till this crap passes for sure!

What a thing to say. I'm sure his family might think differently.

Meatballs over polenta. I prefer it to pasta.

It really is. I had a forum member coming with his son, so that they could spring turkey hunt together. I will make you the first person I call, when we reschedule the next class. I would be honored to have Natalie attend, and sign her certificate.

Nice perches! Stock that freezer up!

What ? I’ve got 100 cellared unicorn stouts in the cellar. #noinvite

Sweet 16 Burfday Breakfast. Kids liked them. “Air” fryer crushed it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree it does. The issue is there are so many people not taking this seriously enough that they don’t want to give them any reason to down play any of this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@ApexerER, I saw this on Facebook this morning and thought of you my friend. Take care of yourself and stay well.

Suffolk County...all are home quarantined

I found it delightful, tastes JUST like chicken. lol

If you are patient you can find some pretty nice Thompson Center items on ebay either a complete rifle or build one out of new parts or like new parts I put together a beautiful 45 cal Hawken a few years ago by purchasing a used stock which I refinished and put new furniture on and then found a brand new Green Mountain direct fit stainless barrel in 45 cal. She shoots like a dream. A word about Traditions, I bought the 32 cal Crockett Squirrel rifle a couple of years ago and the fit and finish is outstanding, I am more than happy with it and it shoots very well too. Al
