Not a bad crop this year, pulled into property had 2 doe and 3 fawns feeding.

This buck is the best I have seen so far . The doe and her fawns travel the area pretty regularly . One of the fawn pics was taken on a $20 Bresser camer and has the wrong date & time . Can't change it .

Got the idea to build some ultra light weight bow hangers . For awhile ive been wanting to get a 3d printer ,from there i wanted to use it to mold custom carbon fiber . Part of the reason for this project was to start to learn about the bonding procedures for carbon fiber . For the first one i purchased the tube ends so i could see how much clearance they use from the aluminum to the tubing for epoxy . By doing so i learned the ends are also slotted to allow for thermal expansion and not fatigue the epoxy . A few pictures of the build and the total weight is at 5.3 ounces without the tree screw . I have tubing with half the wall thickness for the next batch , i will be making all the tube ends for that build ,i'm guessing the total weight on those will be 3.5 ounces finished.

Just completed the food plots. About 4 acres total. 2 acres Hancock Seed Reid's field corn which was about a month behind the area farmers plus some Hancock Seed Ripper Peas, Daikon Radishes and Purple Top Turnips, Evolved Harvest oats mix with brassicas and Evolved Harvest 7 card stud.

Bucks bucks bucks. All my cell cams are does does does. Wish i could easily post video. Dont feel like going through youtube.

I dont have access to a lathe that I can cut a tapered thread on so I called in a favor from a fellow tool maker that I've worked with most of my career.

I never weigh fish, I use the chest girth method, my bass are routinely 5-7lbs. Haha sorry Wolc, I had to.... In all seriousness, we catch hundreds of Lake Ontario bass each spring at arguably the heaviest weights they will be (spring) and only a handful go over 5 lbs. LOTS of 4-4.5's. The scale doesn't lie.

7/25: got a lot done this morning. Dragged a tire to cut down high brush on walking trails. Replaced a ground blind, threw some throw and grow for summer pics, and checked cams. No spikes, no 3’s and no 8’s. So far we got the following on cam: Two 4’s Two 6’s One 7pt Some does and only 1 fawn I think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Grind day on the lake but got em. Boat limit with @FISHDO and son.

My bride took my sons and a friend out on the Viking yesterday while I worked. They killed it. No photos of fish but a full bucket of sea bass and porgies. Vacuum sealed and in the freezer. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I’m jealous of you machinists. Not only are you generally creative enough to come up with ideas like this but you have the ability and knowledge to pull it off! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

12 pounds of neck/shank meat has been ground and seasoned for more venison cheddar jalapeño snack sticks..aka kick biz, jerky, Aboa ass in golf sticks! Hitting the smoker soon!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Mrs is the best. She drove to Scranton PA this afternoon for my daughters softball tournament only to get there and found out it was canceled bummer but she’s the best and stopped and got Krispy Kreme doughnuts And drove back I love their blueberry frosted. She is the better half ha

It did happen . They actually fired 110 shots at him and hit him 68 times https://www.foxnews.com/story/florida-police-shot-suspected-cop-killer-68-times

Pulled out one of the bows yesterday evening. Here's my first that was either at 40 or 46 yards. Don't remember. Second pic is group at edge of yard from target. 46 yards. Definitely didn't mean for outer 12 ring. Dumb shit luck. Can't see rings that far out. I was just aiming for bottom 1/3 kill shot. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Got my MB550’s today. There’s no comparison to the duke’s I got last year. These 550’s are solid tanks. I’m going to try a few set this year,but I’m really building up an arsenal for when I retire. I’ve always wanted to trap ever since I was a kid well I’m going for it in my old age. Should be a fun adventure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought this was some great traditional bow shooting, so I'm sharing the video. This guy can shoot that's for sure.

Some def beautiful smallies for you this year. I've caught a few, prob 10 -12 or less in my life, but a 5lb small mouth bass isn't all that common in NY. Although a lot of people think it looks 5 lbs the scale is always (exception PA chart) the tell. I can only think of two lakes I've ever got 5lb smallies out of. One small amazing lake up in the Watertown area (which is in my avatar and also not a 5lber) and Delta lake. But nothing fights like a small mouth bass.

Celebratory beer. The wife has me going through bins. Early fall purge. I thought she was gone forever. Had this release for 20 years. I lost her 5 years ago. Cheers

Usually a 5lb smallie is 21+".

Good shoot this morning. Took another first timer. He had a ball. 240 recovered. Some landed in the corn that we couldn’t get to. Great video coverage too.

I have regular pint glasses that commemorate things like QDMA branch I'm a part of and offroad dirtbike race weve held at the farm with our name. a couple mugs from an international collegiate snowmobile design competition our team won. Those are good enough for me. Got a kickass NWTF pint cup to from TF. Those are all good enough for me. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Does a beer mug count as proper glassware? What if you got it at the brewery??

I don't know if this crosses over into the political thread or not, but here's our exalted King proving himself to be a bigger jerk day by freaking day! Chicken wings not food?

My first attempt at homemade venison pastrami. Tasted great. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I got a couple small plots of purple tops in yesterday. I went light on the seed and heavy on the fertilizer. The new Chapin bag spreader worked pretty good for the fertilizer. The 80 day sweetcorn in the back of the photo is tassled good and probably 2 weeks from being ripe enough to eat. I left some buckwheat between that and the turnips, which will get worked up and planted with wheat/soybeans/white clover mix in September. The field corn in the front (planted May 30 same as the sweetcorn), is looking pretty good and up about 6 feet but not tassled yet. I will probably start trapping coons in about 2 weeks to try and save some sweetcorn to eat and field corn for deer season.

7-22 around 7 am. Food plot top of a natural funnel with access blocked by cut spruce trees so they are forced to 30 yards from stand. .. bonus points if you can identify leaves in photo at top..

I've only found the Federal 115's locally so I've got a few boxes of that. I'll probably need to order some Hornady online unless mine really likes the fusions. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Gonna try that one Sunday night possibly. Or Monday! Congrats on being reunited! #LessOverzealousMods #WeDemandUnlimitedLikes #WeDemandADislikeButton

Published October 1, 2006 Last Update January 13, 2015 Given the fact it was 14 yrs. ago and last updated 5 yrs. ago I would be willing to bet there would be mass rioting/demonstrations/destruction and who knows what else if it happened today.

So much for a non-political thread. Welcome to the echo chamber...

I have 2 of those and 4 box traps. The nice thing about the box type is that you can check them from far away, but the coons usually mess them up pretty bad when caught. Also, sometimes a smart one will figure out how to swipe the bait. I always use peanut butter coated marshmallows. When I get robbed by a smart one like that, I put one of those dog proof types by that spot with some cat food and it usually gets them every time. I don't know of any fur bearers that are easier to trap than coons. Hopefully I will be able to start taking some out in about a week and a half. My sweetcorn will be ripe by then so they should be coming from miles around. I aim to have the local area reatitivly coon free by the time the field corn gets ripe. I only got in 3 acres of corn this year and the only way it will last thru ML season is if I take out lots of coons.

I will say I've seen a ton of bear sign in 7p this year. My brother had a mom and cub cross in front of him in green. Heard of a couple other solos around green. My parents have a problem bear in Norwich. Seems like the population exploded in this area the last 2 years.

Heres the difference between the two tubes ,the larger diameter is the current build and the smaller stuff is for round 2. It's crazy if you've never handled carbon fiber ,it weighs nothing ,you can try as hard as you want on a 8 inch piece but you cant even flex it let alone break it.

Looks amazing! I would think you'd want a deeper hook for the end?

Prob an air leak. Either need a new fuel line or it just might be loose at the tank or the motor. If the bulb doesn't pump up it's most likely an air issue. And if the line is really old it might be split somewhere or one of the seals at the ends. Can bend the line and see if any cracks letting air in.

Put one in microwave for 6-7 seconds. You’re welcome

Palm City Brewery- Fort Myers, FL I will report back later lol

Put on a few miles in my day following Coon Dawgs, I would still be doing it but age has pretty much caught up with me and trouncing miles in the woods chasing the hounds and going through those swamps at night would be near impossible these days for me to keep in the chase. For me it was always about the dogs, some of the stuff those old Coons would pull to loose the dogs and the way the dogs figured out what they were pulling and put them up a tree was something. I still have the memories and there are plenty of photos out there of the folks still doing it that put a smile on my face. Al

This is the bow I just picked up. I love it! Shot it for the first time today since getting it tuned in April. Took about a dozen shots to get the 15yd pin dialed in.
