Hey thanks. Sore throat is gone, still have slight headache and congestion. If I think back when this all started it was Monday morning. Tested positive Wednesday morning so today is day 4. Hopefully it's all going in the right direction!

For those who love to get tested, this is the most accurate at home test Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I removed the Cuddeback cameras in Geneseo yesterday . It was rough driving in the woods . The water doesn't drain off the land . I removed camera 2 1st and then headed back across our trail . I saw the flash of 2 tails heading up the horse trail . Apparently , I was a minute late as 2 bucks were on my camera on the horse trail . Bucks 2:03 pm --- Me 2:04 pm .

Well.......since so many people I know are now coming down with Covid. Both at work, and my private life. I think it would be prudent to hold off on any GTG for the immediate time being. Will see what the situation is in a few weeks. Not canceling this GTG! Just postponing it for just a little bit. My hope is that delaying a little bit, will make for a better turn out!

To be safe you should also check for loss of taste.

Okay, got to step in here. You will not test positive for COVID if you have the common cold. Absolutely, 100% untrue. I'm assuming you knew that any are just throwing fuel on the fire. Nice play lol. And for all of those who think that keeping a pandemic going somehow benefits financially, that just doesn't make sense. There are so many big leaguers losing money hand over fist that if $$ were the primer motivator, it would have been over 18 months ago. Now, if you want to talk about the reins of power, mandates, etc..that's a different story lol.

Pulled SD card yesterday . One of the pics is my son towing one of the deep sleds that we use to get deer out of the deep water woods .

Got this guy on Christmas eve. Weighed in at 25 pounds.

Let me know, Tony...I'd definitely pony up a few bucks to help a fellow forum member, especially someone as friendly and talented as Dino.....

no yellow onions led me to a red onion version of stew... substitute venison for beef and Genny beer (on hand) for ale and use the crock pot and off we go!. Plus I get to finish off the beer at 9:30AM - a loop hole roughly based on this: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021592-hearty-beef-stew-with-red-onions-and-ale

Alien overlords? Early in 2020, I had a cable guy come by my cabin to hook up my high speed. He started in on Gates - how this was his master plan to control the population. I pointed out that Gates had something like 130 billion dollars which in terms of time is 3100 years of seconds - a million seconds being 12 days and a billion seconds being 31 years - so while he could afford to buy a few small countries or have any number of people killed, he's probably just trying to do some good here and there with his money while slurping champagne of some young maiden's nipples. And laughing. Try to stay off topic please.

That's a fun idea but no material donations or "go fund me" please...there are a lot of others who are worse off than me. Just wanted to tap (no pun intended) your potential sources to buy some things to get back on track. Thanks to all for your help, I have some promising leads! If you have wood stoves in your camps, sheds, man caves, etc., I urge you to regularly clean and inspect the pipes, etc., especially where the pipe leaves the structure. As a trapper, I hear of many trapping sheds that start on fire...very sad! ...even though the traps are made of steel, if the fire doesn't melt the traps, it ruins the strength of the trap springs. Again, thanks for the replies! Take care! PS. some photos of how I want to remember Bone Creek Sugar Shack - good times with family and friends!!

Looks like I'll be able to make it to PA Saturday so after I wake up today I'm getting my gear set and shooting my bow a couple times. I'll also shoot it friday just to make sure nothings changed. Then I'll be on the road first thing Saturday morning and in a tree by 530 since I'm hoping to beat everything back to the swamp before they bed. Hoping for a late season buck.

you don't have to quarantine at all. IDK why people are so test happy. Just live your life, stay home if you don't feel good.

Salmon and roasted veggies over rice

@Biz-R-OWorldhas a grinder. My bad, he said he is on Grindr. Sorry. Got mixed up.

Pulled SD card yesterday

They long arm their snow storms like their fish and deer racks. Anything over 5" they call it "a few feet"

I too respect his objective clarity. I’m nervous to know his opinion on crossbows, antler restrictions and euronymphing! That could change everything!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's legal in NY. Positive reviews across the board - only issue is supply chain.

To good to be true and from facebook, I'd stay away.

You might want to close it then, cold air gets in when not in use.

Moog…..The sock is in the mail. Enjoy

Otto…let me know what you find and how I can chip in. So sorry Dino - that’s a real gut punch for sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dino, so sorry to see this, especially after all your hard work and craftsmanship on that structure. I’m with Biz -I’d buy a few buckets for you if you have a source. Maybe a GoFundMe is in order? Theres a hardware store not too far from me that specializes in maple syrup equipment. I’ll call tomorrow and see what they have as far as buckets go.

Thought Id reach out here, I recently acquired this 22-250 Browning X Bolt Medallion with Boss Brake. I am not used to higher end firearms, I typically buy cheap ones so I don't worry about dings or scratches and such.. I did a little research on the Boss Brake System and it seems pretty neat, especially for being nearly 30 years old now. I know There are some very knowledgeable folks here.. So my question is, Does this Brake system really do as they say, and make all ammo shoot great from this gun? I see you dial the brake to the number associated with the catalog, with that bullet weight and caliber. Then add a click/hash mark, shoot a group and keep adjusting one mark per group in the same direction until group starts breaking up, then bring it back once? The system sounds legit, but I dont know enough about barrel harmonics, to know if all ammo appropriate per twist rate, can be tuned that well? Kind of a interesting system.. Just looking to know more about it.. Also, with the muzzle brake on it it would make it even louder when fired in hunting scenarios.. Im not a fan of that. This rifle has a Leupold 3-9x50 I believe .. I'm curious as to what's the gun/scope combo is worth. A local gun shop offered me 1150$ for it as it sits. Not sure if I'm going to hold on to it or not.. Thanks in Advance..

https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-delivers-2022-state-state Sounds like New Yorker’s will still suffer from being some of the highest taxed people in America to pay for Governor Hochul’s “dream”. Here are Governor Hochul’s specifics on combating “people violence”: https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-announces-three-part-agenda-prevent-and-reduce-gun-violence-and-violent-crime Nothing new from someone who embraces many of Cuomo’s polices. Again, nothing about attacking the major common denominator associated with “people violence”, the distribution, sale and use of illegal drugs where a firearm is used. Also bring real discipline to public schools. There is a need for the creation of reform schools to remove uncivilized youths whose actions disrupt and deny the many who want to learn in a safe environment. Those youths who are not getting proper discipline at home to help them grow to become good contributing citizens to prevent them from becoming criminals will get it at reform school. Hocuhl supporting term limits, but not for all: https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-announces-plan-institute-term-limits-and-outside-income-ban-statewide-elected Does not go far enough. All elected politicians should be limited to two terms.

I found this pack of coyotes (4) on my trail camera a few months ago. I know a lot of people hate coyotes but I kinda like seeing them. I'd like to get one of the blonde coyotes in a foothold.

I lost my favorite log crossing due to the rain from Hurricane Ida over the summer. Found this one a few months ago. This one has potential until it freezes over.

My lawnmower man was fading so I took him in for a touch up today.

I had a dream last night that I dropped my skivvies and my testicles hung down to my knees.... Of course in MY case that is not a long distance, but still, everything is relative....<<sigh>>....

This isn't a hidden thing either. One of the nurses didn't come to our new years party because she didn't want others to get sick but she had to work that same day. I'm not a anti Vax guy or anything like that. I'm simply telling you a fact of what's going on from numerous people who work in hospitals. I'm guessing I'm wasting my time it seems your the type to believe only what you want to. Lol why would somebody make this stuff up, what do I have to gain? Guys like you Crack me up.

Finished mowing...

Did you leave the rakes and dump trailer parked under the tree from when you did it over the weekend? Stuff builds up fast.

You really think if it was designed the creators could not have come up with something.ething better than a 1 to 3% death rate? That does not control any population...Think things through a little more.

From what I've read, that information is not true. I also know quite a few people at work that have been sick and tested negative for Covid multiple times. If you're statement is true, then everyone with a cold would test positive? Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

I’m a red c hair above the O in Buffalo. Wait, can I say that?

That sucks Dino. Did the cord wood walls burn too? Anyway,I have a rich client that owns a big farm and they turned the saphouse into a pool house and they have over 300 buckets they will never use again. I can ask if you can buy some,it is in Morris,otsego county

Sorry to hear….. I have 5/16 tubing, but no buckets. Bascom has used aluminum for 5 bucks each in stock. You should call them, they often have folks offering trade in stuff, and if they have someone interested they will call you before putting on sale in the warehouse.

I always do my own oil changes, Im wanting to learn more about turning wrenches on my vehicles to save money and be more self sufficient so lately ive been tackling a few larger repair projects as well. If my garage was heated I would be doing my U joints currently but I really hate the idea of freezing my butt off while doing work on my vehicle. I also cleaned and rebuilt my first carburetor for my snowblower last week.

Sounds good Tony. You're a lot closer to Dino than I am. So whatever I would have spent in shipping, I can send you or someone else $ to buy more buckets/lids.

it doesn't tell me shit until you tell me one of them is hospitalized.

This thing is crazy fast and powerful . I did 50 lbs straight grind, and 30lbs with bacon ends. The burgers are AMAZING with bacon. All of this Is stuffed in 1lb bags with the grinder and I’m done in 2 hours. I am gonna get the medium grinding plate, this is just a touch too fine for me.

J No Idea what he weighed but everyone is posting buck pics and i wanted in again......
