[Avg gas and electric bill]

If your last bill is 200 for gas and electric your heat must be on pretty low I'd think  .  I'm over 300 all day in winter

Wow,,, maybe my next one will be higher ..

We have NYSEG electric and natural gas ..

Heat is 68 day, 65 night

Gas range , water heater , furnace , elect dryer , 2 people 

 

 

[Heading out with the smoke pole]

I’m all screwed up

[Heading out with the smoke pole]

The news said avg NY gas and electric bill is over 300.00 ???

Really ? I live in a 2200 sf two story house , two people , NG furnace , range , water heater 

Mine is usually 200 or less…

Maybe add in kids ???

300 seems excessive ,,, but so does 200

It doesn’t just have to be in a case, it has to be a case that locks, is tamper proof and has to be fire proof. How many people actually went out and bought one of those this year??  I didn’t even look for one. I transported my firearms like I always do. I’m always dressed in plain clothes as I never wear my hunting clothes until I get to the spot I’m hunting. When I’m done clothes and gun go back in the bed of the truck. How is anyone going to know you have a gun in your vehicle and you are leaving it “unattended”??

Yea but read it again , says fireproof BUT plastic case is acceptable

I'm going on year 6 or 7 with my Centerpoint Sniper 370.  I hate the trigger but it is a tack driver.

I like mine too , only thing it’s front end heavy

[Transporting my gun.]

It doesn’t have to be in a case unless you leave it unattended 

[Hunkered down for the storm]

I’m hoping it doesn’t get any worse ..

its really not THAT bad , 25 Degs and lite snow , heavy wind ..

Power just went off for 5 minutes 

Guardian generator fired right up !

Go lots of food 

[Trying to fill a doe tag]

I moved one cam yesterday to the edge of the woods facing the goldenrod field .

I had two does show this morning walking the edge

I have a logging road from the top of my property that runs right past two of my ladder stands. I have often thought of using a blower to clear the leaves off the road. I've seen videos of people doing this. Then again I had a great bow season seeing big bucks and I walked that crunchy road all the time. lol

One year I took my tractor with the FEL and scrapped the snow off the clover ..

They hammered it … at 3 am

So I went in deep to my stand that borders a big bedding area. Found a lot of tracks a few from big deer. Unfortunately I didn't see anything. It was a nice two hours standing there no wind, snow on the ground waiting for one to show up. Beautiful afternoon, it's why I do it! 

Yup it was so quiet ,,, once I stopped walking

I'm headed out in a few. Haven't seen a deer on my property in three weeks. I just don't know where to go. I'll let you know how it goes! lol

 

I’m getting movement early morning late evening

everything after dark

[Trying to fill a doe tag]

I spooked three does walking in just now

they were in a corn field about 300 yards away

this snow makes walking so loud

[Trying to fill a doe tag]

Killed a decent buck with the crossbow and now I’m trying to get a doe before the end of ML

saw a nice doe yesterday but couldn’t get a clear shot ..

seeing them on my camera but always after dark

i know one bedding area but it’s hard to get to it quietly 

maybe after this week off they will start moving again 

[Stand hunting after a snowfall : risky or no big deal?]

Be hooked up before your feet leave the ground , firearm attached to lift cord

[Long Term Devastation]

That and the dam ash bore

hundreds of thousands are dead 

[Smoke pole time]

Shot a buck with my xbow

Seen a few small does since 

Cameras show all movement at 2 to 3 am

Doesn’t matter woods or fields 

[Lighted Crossbow Nocks?]

I shot a buck a few weeks ago

lighted knocks , full pass thru , it was dusk, if it wasn’t for the lighted knock I never would have found it , just 3” sticking out of the ground and leaves

[Anyone here ever had a melanoma mole removed]

A good buddy of mine had a substantial one removed from his back also requiring lymph nodes in his arm pits needing removal. That was well over ten yrs ago and he's been fine ever since. Although not a good idea he still drinks like a fish and spends a lot of time in the sun. 

Wow !

 

[Anyone remember these prices ?]

I bought a model 37 Deerslayer new in 1977 at Ralins in Syracuse for 129.00

[Anyone here ever had a melanoma mole removed]
