  1. might want to consider a few broad-based water bars that will prevent erosin but also allow ATV's to pass over them. Maybe the logger put them in, and they do not show on the pictures. And you are right, the deer will love this.
  2. I suspect that the check engine light will go out.... upon impact.
  3. wonder if they are going to eat them Jack rabbits? Neat how they have the one on the hood propped up with the fancy radiator cap.

  5. don't forget to treat you clothes with permethrin. All of my hunting clothes and my work clothes are treated year round. If you use home-brew permethrin, you should air them out before deer season, turkey season-not so much.
  6. Airdale- when he vetoed the bear/dog season, he said regarding the bear hunters, "let them go out into the woods, and stalk them". He also made a couple of comments to the effect that it was cruel to the dogs. I'm thinking he has never met a bear dog.

    Bear meat

    the few times I was given it, I always treat it like pork, in that apparently it can carry Trichinosis. I have had it from very tender and delicious to kind of tough. A friend cans his, and it is quite good. I also have had it as slow cooked with a grape jelly/ soy glaze on it. Was tender and delicious, although probably any meat prepared like that would be good.
  8. with those choke options, sounds like a great turkey gun. Always fun with a new gun to figure out the optimum choke and shell combo.
  9. two questions I would be asking: 1) are the chokes compatible with steel and harder shot (like TSS)? 2) what are the chokes compatible with in terms of aftermarket chokes?
  10. Bears are a pest to the local farmers and beekeepers. Strong electric fences will keep the hives safe (generally). The corn crops are another matter. The bears get into the corn, eat some, but knock down a big patch. I am on the west edge of the Adks, and they are everywhere. the dog guys chase them around, but unless they have a destroy permit, they just tree them, take a photo and let them be. We also have a lot of folks that will set up on a cornfield and get one that way. Still, most of the bears are just random kills when guys are hunting deer.
  11. this show is put on by the local Catholic school in Oneida. usually go, buy a couple of raffle tickets from NRA, NYOHOF, different groups. I helped it get going in the first couple of years. Very nice kids from the school working the event.
  12. Will be following this thread. I used to have some Grundens stuff for when out on a boat. Dry, but uncomfortable and stiff. No breathing. goes over your foot gear, which is usually deck boots or Lacrosse rubber boots so the water does not run in like a river. Now I usually use some Frogg Toggs. My frog toggs from stream fishing are not very waterproof anymore. I have a military ESWCS Parka that is waterproof, but is heavy and stiff. Mine is Generation 2, the newer stuff if you can find it may be lighter and more flexible. Most of the time, I use a Cabelas Space Rain (with 4MOST DRY-PLUS fake Goretex). Works well in terms of rain repellency and breathing, but is somewhat flimsy and I am afraid of using it in the brush for fear of ripping it. Hoping to upgrade to something better this year, like a KIUI, First Light, or Sitka. The price tags scare me. But buy once, cry once.
  13. Buddy of mine is looking for a .410, either a single or a pump. Did you get a feel for what a .410 is generally going for?
  14. got the PETA bbq sauce. Could use a little less brown sugar and a little more Jalapenos.
  15. good for the old guy. Hope I'm still hunting at 98.
  16. My uncle and cousin worked at Revere. Got to use their seconds store. Still use a bunch of the pots and pans plus one of their fry pans. Virtually indestructible. As far as the coffee, I make it in our household as it is directed in the book in the bible You know the book. He brews.
  17. I used to have a Jari. Did not have good luck with it. Eventually cannibalized it for the wheels (to make a combo deer cart/ladder stand) and sold the rest to a guy with another Jari. To clear ground w/o chemicals, if you can pasture sheep or goats, they will get it down to fairly bare ground. A thing I have used in our gardens instead of tarps, is the covers that are put on lumber for shipping. Usually can get for the asking at lumber yards. Put on two layers, black side up. All that being said, I use roundup for a lot of weed control.
  18. was in the big woods today (Adk's). Got caught in a mini-twister when driving. Got hit with some dead sticks about wrist sized. Was glad to get to a open area and shut the truck down. Not a deer to be seen, but I did get to watch a otter and a bald eagle. There was sticks and downed trees for the +/- 15 miles home.
  19. Weirdest situation I ever had with scents was with Tinks 69. I had a doe come in to a fake scrape that I had made with a horny 4 pointer following her. She came very close, went over to the fake scrape and grabbed a Tink's saturated cotton ball I had hanging over the scrape and, I believe, ate it. I turned my attention to the buck, and when I looked back at the doe she was running off and the cotton ball and string were nowhere to be seen.
  20. I have sighted in two CVA Wolfs. Both had outstanding accuracy for a inexpensive ML. The second one we used TC 250 grain Shock Waves with the Superglide Sabot. Used two 777 pellets and cci sporting clay primers. Switched this year to White Hot pellets. Same load that I use in my Knight Disc rifle. The wolf will just about give a 3 round group that are touching at 50 yards.
  21. a lot of times they just fall apart when being cut. One of the bigger arborist firms has forbidden its men trom climbing because of that threat. Just got back from a trip to Wyoming. Dead ash from NY through Nebraska and South Dakota. Huge amounts of Poison Ivy and Virginia Creeper colonizing the dead ash trees.
  22. BizCT and Crappyice- if making pizzas on english muffins, Thomas makes some "sandwich size" which work well.
