Got out for about two hours or so of walking. Found a half dozen. My fourth matched set over the years.

Four more this morning...

I have been wanting to do this for a few years now and when I took down a large ash tree leaning over my shop I decided it was a good use for it as it os 14 inches wide

I wasn't necessarily in the market for this but a deal fell in my lap that I couldn't pass up. I'd been casually keeping my eyes open for a side by side or O/U for awhile. It wouldn't get a ton of use, but it's something that was missing from the collection. Between the occasional skeet shoot and pheasant hunting, this might come out 6 or 7 time per year. I'd been looking at models from the likes of Stoeger, ATI, etc... Then my brother calls me and says he has this Beretta Silver Pigeon with the 28" barrels that he's trying to sell. She's pretty and the pix don't do her justice but she's so lo

Another early season WNY bow buck...

2 years ago I won a centerpoint whisper 380 , I don't use it much as I have a mbx 400. But I noticed a limb starting to delaminat. Contacted them in nov and limbs are warranted for 5 years. bUt I needed to take it to centerpoint dealer or ship top end back to them for repair. Well I just got around to taking it apart and needed shipping label to send back as no local dealer . And WOW!!!! centerpoint and ravin are same company now, called today for shipping label address and they said they will just send whole new top end of x bow. Complete with strings and silencers and to keep old

He was here making a low budget movie many years back , and I escorted him anywhere he went , sat outside his RV on the set and so on . Interesting experience , I hang out with his main security guy, his cousin Tracy, a great guy ,a fellow deer Hunter , who died of a heart attack a few deer seasons later . Most of the filming was at an old church ,in a very bad area of the city,I was often shagging drug dealers out of the set ,one night a guy was shot to death and another chopped up with a machete about 50 yards from his trailer . I was always armed with my Glock 40 and a 3 D mag lite . O

Former forum member's 150" Ontario County bow kill...

Productive hour walk after work tonight...

Done , I like my compound but have a couple of older hunters that cant draw bow back well anymore , miss having them in camp for whole archery season. Anything that let's them hunt more in better weather has got my.support

Today’s progress

What are you using to carve this brute? Great job tackling such an intimidating project! Here's one I did last summer for a customer who let me do whatever I wanted artistically as long as I had a buck carved in time for her husband for Fathers day! 48" tall x 22" at base

Title says it all, covid has allowed many including myself and others on the forum to dive into gardening. Last year was my first growing from seed I believe I had 80 plants plus watermelon, corn, zucchini and sunflower from seed. I started my first tray of 60 plants today and plan on starting about 200 seeds. Hope I have the same luck as last year minus the deer entering and destroying my garden at the end of September. Looking forward to doing more canning as well, I'm inspired by Otto.

First shot daily? How about first shot ever!!!!! Thanks [email protected]_bucks for the great deal and fast shipping. She’s super happy and wanted to keep shooting. We have a lot of teaching and learning to do but also 2 more years before she can hunt. #1 priority is to have fun and spend some time together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not as fancy, efficient, and good looking as Mowin’s setup but I got her done. I collected a messily 160 gallons of sap and boiled it down yesterday. I did “cheat” and use my new RO bucket (RB-10)...the day before my boil I sent my 160 gallons of 2% sap through the RO and ended up with 80 gallons of 4+% sap...at an average rate of 10 gallons of sap per 40 minutes. using the rule of 86, I would have needed to boil 43 gallons of sap to get 1 gallon of syrup...with the RO, I only needed about 20 gallons. At an evaporation rate of 10 gph, I saved a ton of boiling time! And with the new revisi

Well it looks like as of right now we will be going to pa for a 4 day bow hunt. Right now we have 5 guys planning on going. We will be hunting state game lands 175 and 35 which is located near Hallstead which is just over the border. Dates we are looking at are 6-10, 13-17th of October I would like to go later but most of us have kids birthdays at the end of the month and early november. We wanted a cheap trip and there is a campsite nearby with camper parking,cabins and tent sites for cheap. So I think we can do it for around $200-300, 100 being just for the tags. Since it's only 1.5

Built a new bench and used some left over vinyl plank flooring for the top. I didn’t like having my presses bolted permanently to the bench. So I had some 2 inch squared tubing laying around and I bought a harbor freight receiver hitch that bolts to a bumper and bolted it to the bottom of my bench . Drilled a hole and welded on a nut and installed a thumb screw to tighten when I install the press . Welded a piece of angle iron to the squared tubing and bolted on some left over pieces of 2x6 for the press mount. Works pretty good I’m very happy with it z

Pic of the evaporator. Only boiled for a few hrs as a shakedown run. Previous owner is coming by tomorrow afternoon to set the floats and hopefully we will get a draw so he can show us the filter press operation. Unfortunately, I'm leaving for a ice fishing trip in Maine noon Tuesday - Sunday, so my buddy is on his own.

I had a 35mm camera I used to take hunting photos with about a decade ago that still had undeveloped film in it. I found this in the photos that came back from the developer. I took this cat at least 10 years ago. It went a little over 40 pounds.

I prefer to avoid conflicts by shooting them prior to them entering my personal space #ThankYouForLessOverzealousModding #WeDemandUnlimitedLikes #WeDemandADislikeButton

Few more..

Grilled up some @Bionic-seasoned chicken thighs with orzo, green beans and almond slivers.

Spent the weekend on Sodus. Finally got to put a face [email protected] and I am grateful I did. This guy is the dang mayor of sodus! Some serious hospitality was shown and our entire crew had a fantastic trip thanks to his tips. We never got on a big class of fish but we were able to pick through the dinks that litter the entire bay and grab a few bigguns. What a population of fish! Can't wait to come back!

We didn't get a whole lot of snow this winter, but there was plenty of melt to fill my pond to full capacity (second photo). It was getting pretty low by the end of the summer last year (when first photo was taken), and the water depth was not much over a foot by December 1 of last year. I imagine that the herons got all the fish when it was down low. I will need to restock it this spring, with some fresh lake Ontario bluegills, to keep the skeeters under control. The creek that runs thru our place dries up every summer and this pond usually draws in some deer then.

My workshop project today was a burnt wood American flag. Came out pretty nice after I finally gave up on making the star field myself. I tried carving the stars with a dremel tool and I tried carving them with a chisel. Both methods worked but did not turn out as nicely as I wanted. Definitely a lack of skill on my part. Plus, very time intensive. So I took to the interwebs and found a company that machines the star field and it really looks nice. It will be going up on the front of my barn after a poly coating.

This is why I love Israel.

Had to do we just rescue Cooper from real dog rescue in New Jersey.

Quick story on that deer :I got in the stand ,20 minutes later I caught movement ,waited for a good shot and let it go .Text my buddy(his land )that I just shot one .He not a hunter so he got excited .Next thing I know he’s driving the tractor across the creek and into the woods .He shuts the tractor off ,all the sudden he starts yelling “I hear it ,it’s trying to run away “I’m like WTF to myself .I told him we need to leave and get out of there .I found him 120 yards the next day from where he bed down immediately after 30 yards from the shot .this is how I found it .Needless to say I won’t m
