About 5 years ago, we had such a abundant crop that a lot of trees were broken off at bad forks in the branches because of the weight of the apples. That included several on that stretch of Fairchild (before you get to Swamp road.

I am occasionally asked by "woke" folks or companies how I would like to be addressed. I always tell them as "Your Majesty". It takes them quite off guard and flummoxed.
-
Corydd- Yup, I'm in Remsen around a mile north of the village. I will be doing a search for any trees with a decent amount of apples. Many of my permanent stands overlook where there are apples. May need to rethink my strategy for this year.
-
What have folks been seeing for this years apple crop? I am in the area North of Utica, and south of Boonville, old farm country with a ton of naturally occurring apples in old fields and pastures. We have very few trees with even a single apple on them. Down south in the mohawk valley they seem to be doing better. I believe that it was a late frost, as I did not see a lot of blossoms. Thoughts/experiences?

Just opened this thread as the skies opened up with a deluge. North of Utica.

What Rob-c said. I love this state, familys been here since before the Revolutionary War. But the liberal, constitutional rights restricting Gov't (both Federal and state) makes this a facade of true freedom as envisioned by our (and my) ancestors. the way we are being governed now is what our founding fathers feared. ,

If he goes with a slug gun/bird gun combo, a 3" chambered pump is a good selection. Make sure the slug barrell is rifled and with a cantilivered mount for a scope.

started working haying at age 10, then mowed lawns starting at age 12 (through high school). Worked maintenace during high school, then blacktopping after that. military for 2 years. Logging briefly, then forestry work. Tended bar a couple of places. From age 14 till I retired I was only "unemployed" for 2 weeks, and that was after getting out of the service and before college. Still did forestry and related work for about 10 years after official retirement.

not that I expect much cooperation from our current administration ... but it seems that states with huge amounts of Forest Service and BLM (i.e. lands we all own) should be required to treat the federal lands in such a way that in those areas both residents and non-residents have a equal oppurtunity.

Anemometers/ Wind speed meters Experiences with
Farflung replied to Farflung's topic in Rifle and Gun Hunting
DoubleDose- Thx. for the response. Figure my maximum range to be 350 yds. Not long by western standards, but the winds never quit in WY. Sometimes the winds are in the 30 to 40 mph range. The mirage thing is useful but I need practice I probably can't get around here. And a cloudy, cool day negates mirage. I guess that one of the cheap meters will probably do, just wish I knew someone who has used them. -
I am going to purchase a anemometer for hunting on the prairie out west. I find them all over the place in terms of price. They range from $15 for a bunch of no name brands up to $399 for a Kestrel (with a ballistic package). I am leaning to a cheap one as all I need is mph. My concern is if the cheap ones are pretty accurate, and durable for field use (with reasonable care). I have no experience doping wind for shooting, and any input/experience would be helpful.

sorry to hear that you are being let go.... I know a bunch of folks that work for Stewarts. They say the company is great to work for. They were voted the best company to work for in the N.E. (for what that's worth). There wage scale was a little light, but that may have changed.
-
looks good to me..... but I hope they left plenty of air drainage on the bottom. That's a slow death to most ornamental trees.

just enjoyed a Sierra Nevada Atomic Torpedo (ABV 8.2). Billed as a "juicy west coast double IPA) and it lives up to its billing. Had it with a excellent fish fry with double coleslaw (and no frys). great meal. Turkeyfeathers- saw that you had a Southern Tier 2X ipa in your post. One of my favorites.

i have been getting all sorts of electric bike ads on facebook. I searched for electric bikes on duckduckgoose a couple of weeks ago and have been seeing alot of ads on my facebook feed. Little do they know that I can not afford them. no ads for the chick sites, drat it!!!

my condolences on the passing of your brother.

one of my deer stands has a fallen log that greys like to cross. used to see them fairly regularly, including what I took to be a pair, although this was in early autumn. Was in a tree stand, and a grey climbed a slanted tree till it was almost 12 feet off the ground. Hung out there for a few minutes and then got back down.

rear view of a ruffed grouse that is drumming?

Any details on the shooter? Age, motivations, where he is from, ethnicity, politics? Did he pick the location at random? Previous Criminal record?

cynthiafu- nice bird!!! Congrats to you and bill.

Robhuntandfish- Are their oaks in Fall Brook S.F.? Are they White or Red? I know there are Red Oak and White oak in the Rome Sand Plains near Humaston by fish creek.

St. Regis Mohawks. The area of the hatchery was not part of their ancestral holdings. How do they think they can spear their. This will be interesting from a historical, treaty wording point of view.
-
this was a hot topic at our Oneida County sportsmen federation on Monday night. We are very against this. Will be interesting to see how DEC and the Governor handle this. It was Hochul that vetoed the legislation that would have allowed this.
-
Antlers- thought it was. Dragged out my dad's old 98 Mauser with the original stock to confirm it.
-
Chef- Maybe a captured Mauser? The rounded bottom of the pistol grip first caught my eye. Springfield's have a barrel band with sling attachment closer to the breech. Mausers also have the butt plate encompassing the butt (its sort of a metal cup). Mausers front sling attachment is on the side and further forward. Not sure as the picture is a little difficult to see fine detail.
