Happy 4th from Oneida Lake!

Jack Torrance at the July 4th ball, OverLook Hotel. 100 years ago today :)

I hooked 13 this morning on the topwater bait. 2 of them about the same size as this 15" (biggest one that I landed) were kind enough to unhook themselves at the side of the boat. At least that many hit it but missed it. Most of those that I hooked pounded it as soon as it hit the water. Almost all that hit while I was "walking the dog", missed it. The last one was the coolest. A big bass buried the bait the second it hit the water. As I was reeling it in a shorty moved in and yanked it out of the big ones mouth. The big one escaped, but I landed the little 10 incher. I witnessed the whole thing in the crystal clear water.

Time in Pic’s tell the story.

Well it is official we talked about the PA trip yesterday. We are going from the 13-17th of October. There will be 5 going and sometime in August we are making a day trip out of it to get some scouting in and to purchase our tags. It's not the best time of year but it is the only days we could seem to get everyone freed up to go. We will be renting a cabin that sleeps 6. I've already been scouting maps on huntstand that look really good. I will be focusing on swamps and hoping there are some oaks around the couple I have found. Nice thing is I can be aggressive as I want since I only have 4 days to hunt. Can't wait for this trip.

Free shipping on a boat engine but Lancaster archery charges 9 dollars to ship a dozen arrow wraps LOL

Smoked chicken and corn.

Is this a huge base? A future atypical or a weird camera effect??

I finally got the PKS dirty by design knife yesterday. Definitely a beautiful knife that fits my hand perfect. I ran a few tests on it,but I’m waiting until next weekend when I go back upstate to really put it to work. The only issue I had was when I went to put it back in the sheath it cut through the back,luckily I wasn’t wearing it or I probably would’ve cut my leg. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Started the day, teaching my future son in law how to handle guns correctly and sighted in his .22 and .223 . Here’s his AR target once dialed in , now only 15 yards ,as I try To build confidence first . Stopped by the farm to give the farmer two boxes of .308 . God Bless America !

What ever happened to her? She split when the covid stuff started. Happy birthday anyway.

Happy 4th. Good bless America

Fishin on the 4th! Out with Corey and we got a few. Most boats coming in saying about the same. But they liked the 4th of July spinners! Merica!

Always good to have a camera around livestock pens so you know who is visiting

Definitely a shooter. I am guessing 3.2 years old based on body size. I see 3 points on each side, plus he likely has brow tines, making him a nice symmetric 8. The problem with those spindly racked bucks around my area, is the ratio is so scewed from heavy antlerless pressure from farmers with nuisance permits. The remaining bucks always knock the crap out of each other fighting for the few does which make it to the rut. He would likely be down to just 5 or 6 points by the time I could get my crossbow on him. That is not a big deal for me, because it's mostly about the meat anyhow. It looks like he is packing plenty of that. I have yet to find a good recipe for antlers. As you are well aware, my favorite time to kill a buck, is when it is 6 months old, but 3.5 is second best. Hopefully, I can nail one of each this year.

Limit of eyes. Lost one had a couple nother hits. A couple of decent perch. Off the water by 9:30. Good morning out. Corey couldn't make it it's his wife's birthday. It's amazing how well the fish hit on her birthday every year. Lol. Then breakfast with Charlie. Apple pancakes, eggs over and ham steak.

Yote season should be all year cool pictures

Maine will be a little different this year….in a very good way.

Nationals vs. dodgers last night we didn’t make the whole game due to a 2 hour rain delay. Beautiful stadium here in socialist Washington DC!

Cheers Biz !

Happy 4th to all

Ready for the fireworks:

True story

I got no time for those. I did a lot of that when I was young but have not touched one since crossbows were legalized in 2014. My shoulders feel so much better now. I am 56 and have less shoulder pain now than I did in my 30's when I bow hunted. I can literally row a boat all day long (that's what I am doing right now in fact), without a lick of pain:

Grab a bow and shoot them oct 1st

That passenger side base appears to be abnormally large anyways. Hopefully he'll give you a better view one of these days. Something to look forward to!

Hard to tell. Could be he's got some junk at the base. Looking forward to seeing some pics as he develops.

AWESOME. Always look forward to your Maine trip. Wife and I were there visiting friends couple weeks ago.

Fresh from the yard mushrooms

I caught 8 smallmouth before the rain this morning up at my in-laws Adirondack place. Last year, at this time, they were all suspended out over deep water. Now they are along the shoreline, because the water is cooler. This was the longest one today at about 16". The previous one was a bit shorter, but fatter and fought harder. I noted the tail of someone's senko sticking out of its gullet as I was unhooking it. I was able to extract that with my needle-noze pliers. That was the 65th bass that I have caught here on the same 1/8 oz bucktail jig. When the rain let's up, I will go back out and see if I can get a few more with it. It is still in pretty good shape, except for some brown powder-coat paint wore off the bottom of the head. I bent the barb down for about the last 20, which makes it easier to release them. They were getting lots of air on the fights this morning. They all fought way harder than those I caught earlier this year (lots of them on Memorial day weekend when I was trying for perch, and limit on opening day on the upper Niagara).

im not overly fond of snakes but will say this i have alot of them around camp and they seem to keep the mice way down, maybe 2 or 3 mice get trapped in fall winter at thats all that is ever in camp, i think the snakes get the little ones as soon as there born have seen several times snakes with lil furless baby mice in there mouth

The irrational fear of snakes some people have has always made me laugh. I make rock walls and piles on the edge of my yrd to house the snakes. They eat alot of pests. Bugs mice and such. I have to rescue some of my toads from them occasionally ( toads make a racket when they are being eaten) but besides that i like having them around. Waters tend to be a little hyper sometimes but if you give them their space they will go away. My girlfriend chased one of my garter snakes down with the lawn mower one time. I told her if she did it again we would see how she liked it lol. Hasn't happened again. It saddens me to see supposed sportsmen and conservationists act this way. We as a group are our own worst enemys.

THOSE LOWLY PESKY RED SOX DID IT AGAIN! 5-0 vs Yanks this year or Yanks would be in first place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
