latest that I have seen them in upstate NY is March 22. In the yard near Forestport, NY

I might suggest the St. Regis canoe area. Yes you will need a canoe, but you can rent them, along with other gear. Very good fishing for brook trout in the early (ice out) season. Check with the DEC Region 5 website, and that can get you started. There will be a phone number that can get you to their fisheries biologist.

Interestingly, the area that Remington resided in and the surrounding area were and are big 2nd amendment supporters, as is most of upstate. It's another case of downstate and Albany liberal politicos subjecting us to their views. And we are powerless to prevent them.

Grouse - the person with the grouse is a picture of Alvah Dunning, a Adirondack guide in the late 1880's and early 1900's.

2 men and a dog were recued out of Hinckley Lake near Prospect NY yesterday. Evolution in action, only the smart/cautious survive.

Generally, all hunting accidents involving firearms or bows are investigated by DEC. Periodically, (I believe at the end of the year or lscense year) they are put out as a report and there usually a press release. ECO's and the hunter education folk are involved. I think I remember tree stand accidents are also being tallied.

Sad to me as a New Yorker. Not just Hocul's and NY state goverment's stance on firearms, but the tax structure and labor costs. Hopefully they will offer job oppurtunities in Alabama to existing employees.

something I used to do when turkey hunting was to use a short bipod. I use aluminum arrow shafts cut into around 10 inch lengths of shaft with a short piece of smaller diameter shaft as a connecting sleeve that would slip in to connect the pieces. I ran a piece of elastic cord from top to bottom. Worked well sitting. Had rubber judo tips on the bottom segment and was frapped together at the top.

The RONCO Pocket Fisherman. Had them for my two grandsons, before they graduated to Dock Devils. I think the guy that Hawked them on TV was Ron Popeil (or something like that)

regretfully after the NY State Police have taken over background checks for guns and ammo. Lets hope they have the program up and running or have extended the deadline when they will take over.

I'm reminded of a show of the Beverly Hillbillys where Jed and Jethro are shooting flies of a wall at their mansion.

Homemade Tick Repellent

I'm covered everyday head to toe in permethrin. Hope they don't find out later that its toxic/carcinogenic. I use the commercial permethrin from tractor supply. Two things to remember: 1- If you are putting it out on deer hunting gear, give it several days to air out, outside in a breeze. the petroleum carrier will pretty much dissipate. 2- don't stress to much about getting the spray concentration exactly right. Mixing into a spray with water is to just give you more uniform coverage. A couple of coats of spray to the point of the clothes being damp is about right. hen let the breeze dry the garments out. -
and here in northern Oneida County. Not loaded, but most trees have a fair crop.
