My oldest son helps my SIL each week . We hunt on her property in Geneseo . He was by her barn a took a picture of her lower pasture . Looking Good !

Sister in law got it from a friend. The friends Dad caught it in Aruba in the 80's. Had no place for it so my sister in law took it. They tried it in their house and it didn't work. She gave it to me this weekend and now has its forever home! In excellent condition!

Here's a sign that I have to put out in front of our driveway.

Hammering my food plots.

My guess is they will take as many permits….. If it’s even legal… as they can from those that don’t recert. I think a person could fight that take if they had the $$$ means. If I were them I would just do it but be ready for something stupid. Or this could just be a ploy to scare us and to get us legal type to step in line and give them all the info they want. After all it’s the legal pistol owner that takes all the bullshit in this Democratic ran state.

So if that’s your line of thinking what’s your answer to all the states that have no deer behind fence yet have it in the wild in the last 60 years? Or the states that have had fenced deer for years and years and have never had a case but have had it in the wild for just as many years? You do realize the first cases of it were wild deer? Not fenced. Regardless CWD is now and has always been a political money grab. CWD has done no harm to any herds in any states ever. You don’t see mass die off of animals like you do the real deer killer in EHD. Ever. CWD will go by the way of Covid here very soon when the federal government stops handing out money for these white coats to keep researching the same thing over and over and coming up with nothing. You want to see some info. Google how much money goes to states for CWD issues and then ask yourself where that kind of money goes. An easy look of the stupidity is the state of Wisconsin. When they found it and went absolutely nuts and they killed off almost the whole herd because of a couple cases. Saying that CWD would be the end all of their herds. Well don’t ya know. The herds rebounded in a matter of 5 years to twice as many animals then they had at kill off time. And with CWD. Go on a hunting site in that state and read how many hunters never ever got their deer tested. And they are not walking zombies. Maybe look at the state of Oklahoma that now allow private land owners to buy and release farmed deer onto their no fence property to improve their deer size and genetics. After 60 plus years and what CWD itself has shown people exactly what it’s not doing to deer anywhere I’m amazed it’s ever even talked about anymore anywhere. I believe when those leading our government today see they wasted money going on there CWD will be a thing of the past pretty soon. Go Trump!!!

A flock of nine showed up this morning roaming in my pastures, glad to see they made it through a pretty rough winter, they are tough birds for sure. Al

I think it is blown way out of proportion and wouldn’t change a thing for me. I’d still get most of my families protein from “free” venison and wouldn’t be overly careful about using gloves while processing.

Oh wait. Never mind. Robby

Colder than a polar bears toe nail this winter. We had below average snowfall this year in the Buffalo area. I live north of the city and we tend to get considerably less snow than 5 miles south. I wish the lake ice would melt so the bone chilling winds would calm.

My wife attends Mass in Sodus sometimes . She said that this past week 4 deer crossed the road between williamson and Sodus and she had to stop while they crossed . It must be spring !

That’s a cool looking fish. My brother caught one kind of like it off Miami a couple years ago. They measured it for him, in case he wanted a replica mount, but I don’t think it would have been legal to keep.

Winter was manageable in Niagara. We had some snow, cold, and wind. After the general storms came through that didn't generate much snow, only cold all season, the lake effect machine set up off lake Huron and Georgian bay out of Canada. Shoveled the driveway, pretty much to stay in practice. Maybe a few times with the tractor. Had to make way through a foot of snow in the woods to tap maple trees. Run started March 6th with about 4 inches left in the woods. Flow slowed to a trickle now. Snow melted quickly in time to find a few shed antlers. Large amount of deer on food sources, now. Robins, Red Wing Blackbird male and females, turkey vultures are all back. Winter losing it's grip, welcome Spring.

Love a nice matched set, just as Much as a set of (.)(.)

A quick update on the Rocky Outback boots, this is the third winter I have gone through wearing these boots for chores just about every day, they have a lot of miles on them. I am surprised on how well they have held up, other than looking used, they are still comfortable and warm, they do not leak, and the soles are still in great shape. I treat them every year with the Obenauf's and I feel that has contributed to their good condition. I think if they were used just for hunting they would last many years, for me these Outbacks will go down as one of the best pair of footwear I have ever owned and especially so as they are modestly priced.

Its been a while since i’ve posted anything on here, but I figured this warranted it. I just got back from an 8 day trip to the Northern Alberta and got my first Bull elk!! What an ADVENTURE! 70 mile quad rides (half in the dark) into the bush, run ins with moose and grizzly bears, spending 6 days with a native tracker and learning bush craft… it was truly remarkable Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
