Thats amazing Chef . That buck had the exact same rack 3 years in a row . Maybe just a bit thicker this year than 2020 , but the same 7 point rack . Very nice buck . Congrats again . So if this was your target buck , what was the 1st one ? You called that one your target buck . Was the 1st one even bigger than this one ?

Way to go Chef ! Nice One !

Good luck Chef ! Hope it didn't go far so you have a nice easy recovery !

Did it go Bang Flop , or did it vibrate a bit before going silent ? Been there done that ! Thought I killed it on the 1st shot , but it came back to life 10 min later because I only hit the snooze button . Had to give it a second shot to finish it off !

Holy Smoke Pole ! Thats a beautiful gun ! Love the engraving and color of the stock .

Atta Boy ! Happy Birthday ! Hope you still have teeth left to chew the cake !

One helluva morning out there Hockey ! You scored the tying goal with the Yote and then the game winning goal with the spike ! Congrats to both of you !

Hoping for the best outcome for you DB . Did you try to line up a tracking dog for the morning ? Dont worry about the meat . It will be fine

Tacks , is that #3 already ? You are going to need another freezer !

Cant wait to see the smiling faces of the youth hunters posing with their harvest ! great thing you are doing G-Man !

Grampy is right about all these type of snakes can have different shades of colors and markings. Looking at the species of snakes in CT , the one that looks the closest in color and markings is the Eastern Rat Snake which also has a variety of markings and shades . The shape of it being thin makes it look like a Racer. But the markings and color of this particular snake resembles a Rat Snake. Could be either one . Watched a video on Racers and WOW are they FAST !

S B how long have you lived there ? Did you save any of your previous paper bills that show your usage ? If you have an online account and pay your bill on the electric companies website , they usually have a graph of your usage and how much you paid monthly . Ours shows the past 3 years . Check for that and see if you see a huge spike in usage somewhere . If you find one , try to think what work you had done or something new that was purchased or installed. Im not in NY , but supposedly NH has much higher rates than NY . My highest bill has been $270 for 2500 sqft house . I attribute that to the 4 window AC units running 24/7 and the kids dont have a clue to shut the lights off and leave a lighted trail behind them LOL .

Happy Birthday !

That green nock has a purpose . Thats the one Tacks is going to send on the " Money Shot " at the Big One !

Did he say if he is still on a blood trail ? Only Chef would know , but when he mentioned it looked like the arrow nose dived after the hit , I expected the arrow to hit either the bottom of the opposite lung or cut some of the main arteries near the heart on the downward deflection . That blood was not dripping out of the exit hole . That was pouring out . I expected the buck would be dead within a couple hundred yards . Especially being left alone overnight . Really hope he finds him .

I just looked up the student loan interest rate set for 2023 . For a 30 year loan on 324,000 dollars for the 4 years at the 5 percent interest rate , its ONLY $1,783 a month for the next 30 years for that student loan ! Looks like he will be living with you for quite a while !

Looking at those pools of blood , I think he is dead Chef . Any sign of bleeding from both sides ? Hoping you get a quick recovery and your update will have a target buck pic on the ground . Best of luck to you !

That the same spot you skewered the one rack buck last year Chef ? The Blackstone is waiting ! Good Luck And Make Meat !

Saw a video made in the middle a brutal winter that showed a deer eating a frozen dead rabbit

I could be mistaken , but pic 1 , 2 and 3 are definitely the same buck . Pic 4 might be a different buck , but the tines look identical in shape with the same lengths ,small twists and curves as the first 3 pics . Just the pic is closer and a different angle . Pic 5 is a guess . Too far away and you cant see both sides of the rack. Good looking 3 yr olds or 3 yr old and a 4 yr old

YUP ! Had one in the basement last week . Must of came in through our garage under. Wife went downstairs to get something out of the extra fridge and I hear her AAAAAAHHHH !!!!! I thought she got hurt . She yells up up to me there is a frog on the floor ! I went down and threw it out on the back lawn . At nite sometimes I have one or two frogs climbing on the glass on the slider . They are there to get the bugs that are attracted to the light. They are quite the stalkers . LOL

Went to my local gun shop today . He just got in 10 sleeves of Federal 209's . Already has 20 people on a waiting list for them.

How times have changed in an instant. I bought this sleeve in late Aug or 1st week in Sept in 2019 . I bought a sleeve of Win 209's , a sleeve of Triple 777 primers , and this sleeve of CCI 209 Magnum primers at the same time . The Win and the Triple 7 was $3.95 and the CCI Magnums you can see were $4.25 . The sad part is I dont even need or use the magnum primers . I use the Pyrodex and Triple 7 pellets which the other primers work just fine with . If there was a way to send them to you I would.

Of course you could always save money and do it yourself

Happy Birthday Mr Spiff !
