Not live...but I helped my dad seal the deal this morning on a late season limbhanger. He never gobbled on the roost but the hunt was over by 5:45. He's tagged out and I have a babysitter now!

Well found a new project not as old as the willys but a 1995 Chevy k1500 with plow and 5.7,silverado.. 22610 original miles been off road since 2002..⁸easy fix up ,new rear bumper, tires ( dry rot) and a few exhaust leaks.. only vehicle I own with no lights on on dash...lol.. couldn't pass it up. For 1k.

The way I bought it.when I sold it to a collector who wanted it bad. its current condition

Hello All, Please let me know if I'm out of line putting these forestry videos up here. Just figured hunters who own their own woods might find them interesting.

Working from home today and got a pic at 9:59am from my cell cam, located ~125 yards from my house! LOL Big friggin' bird!! Been playing cat and mouse with this MOFO all season! My blind is right in the corner of the the field! He's passes by there quite frequently mid-morning. Might have to pack a breakfast (or 3 ) of these days and sit out there all morning.

Didn't seal the deal, but a cool hunt this morning. Around 7:30 it's warming up and I'm thinking this is about it for me. I let go a last call, pretty aggressive set of yelps on the box call and I get some yelps in return, not too far from me. I answer back and she's moving in. My hopes of course is that this girl fight attracts some dudes or she has a boyfriend in tow. Well I see her movement about 50 yards in the brush and she's leaving. I call again and she comes back in fuming. We spend the next 45 freaking minutes together. At one point she came within 5 yards of me. For a good 15 minutes she just nested on a log haha. I know my calling is average at best, but I didn't know it was gay. I'm 3 for 4 on calling in hens this year haha

Finally figured out why Bill's pictures are never right side up. He waits for the turkeys by hanging upside down from a tree limb. I guess the turkey's think he's a bat and pay him no mind. LOL

If the sign isnt on the door Im not putting one on. The pool store had a sign so I wore one. Im getting truly pissed off that my daughter has to wear one playing softball. Its over 100 degrees on the turf field. If a kid gets hurt they should sue the school back to the stone age. Theyve been told by every expert that masks are unnecessary outside and Id argue theyre dangerous

I got a couple of brutes on my camera this morning. They have both been around my place on and off for a couple of years at least.

Got 3 racks of baby back pork ribs on the pit boss pellet smoker.

Your getting closer to getting this pic thing figured out....I think.

Didnt take my kids long with the nice weather to dive into the lake. I personally think they are crazy but they stayed in for an hour.

What can I bring? Beer obviously, but can I make a cole slaw or something? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

New garden I’ve worked on for the last 2 weeks. Just need to finish the stone work.

We grill salmon once a week with Dino BBQ rub. Stuff’s great. And I included my beverage to respect the beer thread. Ommegang + Sloop = delicious!

so close that I could see the bugs coming off when she was preening (is that the right word for bird?)

One step closer this morning. Heard gobbles, saw birds, couldnt the get them to commit:)

Once again, stop listening to the biased Main Stream Media that is feeding you all the lies you are swallowing. Here are the facts. https://www.westernjournal.com/az-auditors-really-backtrack-claim-files-deleted-ap-reported/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=westernjournalism&utm_content=2021-05-20&utm_campaign=manualpost&fbclid=IwAR2prViLGb_xKQ1GsJDONrsh_ArUPrwzBAnlLHGPtbJqofbth45EBtM-8d8 The AP story — like much of the coverage of the Arizona audit from the establishment media — was negative. It’s reminiscent of the coverage former President Donald Trump received during his entire four years in office. The AP should report it straight. The auditors did not back down from the assertion that files were deleted, and it’s just playing word games to say they did.

I went into BB to look at TVs. Majority of customers with masks, but the dept manager in the TV section was maskless, so, off went my mask. I looked around and paid attention - it was more like 50-50 masks overall. It felt like liberation - a bra burning party type of liberation LOL. Dude got me for $1,700. LG OLED for the win.

It’s been quiet for an hour at least. This absolutely feels like late May turkey hunting. I was going to give it till 8, but may pivot to 7:30. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Like TF and Mortalis I've got a stash on local Fidens beer. Couple more tonight that I haven't had; socratic questioning 16 and jasper. Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

I've got peppers! Plant seems very hardy so far. Carmen sweet red pepper from Johnny Seeds.

Big girl ... should have fawns anytime

I was at my boss' farm in Washington state last week and he has a beautiful restored plow. He just sent these pics of the process

Fresh turkey breast with bacon onions sauted in coconut oil!! New recipe for tonight. Smells pretty good! I will let you know how it turns out!!

Happy Birthday @greg54 Hope its a great day!

Finished on grill and sauced with sweet baby Ray's and a honey habenero mustard sauce and Maddie and Merrill #1 bbq sauce.

took a 4k 60fps video too, but you'll need a newer phone or 4k monitor to tell the difference.

Happy Birthday! Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk

Got Caesar salad and Amish potato salad and watermelon maybe some baked beans. More than welcome to stop by if you were closer.

I know Brighton park is one of parks they are playing this tournament at.

Somewhere in Tonawanda, spring swing tournament I think.

Well son had a walk and single Tuesday, yesterday had 1 at bat and had a rare strikeout. I cant remember the last time he struck out. Mod has been just what I expected, 18 man roster, 16 play each game and they rotate. Its EOB ( equal opportunity baseball) still, tons of errors, not playing the best kids all the time. This is why I enjoy travel ball much more! Were off to a tourney in Buffalo for his 12u team!

Not til July 1, but you need login now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I dont see it

Well the blind is done, just need to take it apart, load it on trailer, haul it back up the hill, then put it back up. And anchor it of course! I'm not real happy with my paint job, I think I got a little carried away with the leaves. Looks too busy, we'll see how it looks in the field.

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday! TGIF!

Happy Birthday!

So..............Back to the original thread. I worked on the Cornell University campus from 1979 until my retirement in 2009. I watched the campus deer population explode and it was mostly because of societal changes. Back in the day, deer were hardly ever seen on campus and then usually in the dead of night or during the rut. Dogs on the other hand, were every where. As long as they didn't bite anyone they were allowed to run free. Students would bring them to class and leave them outside to play with the other pooches. Eventually, the policy changed and dogs had to be on a leash, often tied to campus landscape while the folks attended class. The CU Grounds Department successfully advocated for the removal of such dogs and the deer took over the landscape. By 2008 the sterilization program had started and 130+ class bucks were visible tending does for hours at a time on campus lawns! I honestly believe that a program of harrassing the deer population with dogs would have significantly reduced the campus deer population.

So when I think of Ontario knives I think of some of the old military knives they made, I see them at auctions sometimes. I feel like there are several pilots knives floating around out there. I always see knives using the Ontario "Rat" as a comparison knife, I've never handled one. Just looking at a few specs, it looks like most of their folding knives are made in Taiwan, but the majority of their fixed blades are US made.

Great points. Even the Yankees have started to bend on the long hair and facial hair.

Is that why you stuck a straw up that sturgeon and started sucking?!? I didn’t think that’s how you revive one but trusted you knew what you were doing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll double down on this too, because why not. Do you think the fact that big deer drives and banging away at running deer being less common today and less hunters being shot and killed have anything in common? Know your target. Know what's beyond your target right?

I voted for a woman I know very well who is running because shes tired of the way these kids have been treated and wants to ensure next year is completely normal. If theres any place "the science" ought to be followed its in the schools Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Texas is much more open then our state and they havent had a death in like 2 months ,it's time we start using facts instead of the letting people afraid of their own shadows call the shots.

.535 round ball 100gr ffg GOEX 35" Sharon barrel 1:70 twist .015" grooves (.540/.570) My possibles bag does double duty for my .54 flintlock too.

I love hunting with my Lyman percussion great plains rifle. It just seems so....right. I have taken a few deer with it and have always had clean one shot kills...but I also hunt close. I prefer it and have more confidence in it than my T/C Triumph...until it rains. This year I am looking forward to hunting with my new Lyman Pedersoli Great Plains flintlock. I am still zeroing it in but am pretty close. The sights arent quite allowing me to adjust to my normal sight in ML dead on range (fifty yards for woods hunting), but I am working on that. I should be able to use the same load as I use for the percussion....80 grains of FF with patched .530 round ball. I needed to drop the charge to 70 for the flinter to lower my point of impact which bothers me.
