    Well I just found my favorite camera blew up in a bad way. Never had that happen.

    That was caused most likely by a Woodpecker . I've had the sensor and camera lens on 2 cams broken up like yours . On one of mine I did get a partial vid on the little bastid in action before he killed the lens . LOL

    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 ?

    Trust me I’m still kind of shaking. But going out there now with a light just increases my chances of loosing the deer.my alarm is set for before sunrise and I will walk in with the grey light.

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

    Zero wind , temps are comfortable, alarm got killed.  

     

    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 ! :)

  7. 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 !

    Yea I have an electrician coming in to look and Nyseg coming to check the their side.  No reason for me to be paying this much. 

    KW/hr day is 12 cents night is 7.  I’ve tried getting Nyseg to work with me and they always give me the run around. So I’m sure it’s going to be like pulling teeth. 

    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 .

    Still ongoing

    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 !

    Not a good night…. The short story is I had two shots at my target buck.. Wiffed once and I think I one lunged him the second time


    Ok so he cam in the first time I didn’t see him because of how thick till he was 10 yards away walking away from me. I tried to draw and the arrow came off the d loop. I fixed it and drew I thought he had only walked to 20 but it was 30 clean miss straight under his heart soft quartering away

    About 20 min later a small fawn came in and ate around the base of my tree I could see him looking back but couldn’t see at what. Then I saw the deers head poke out at like 7 yards. He could tell something was up and looped around the big oak to my right so backside shot, I used his time behind the tree to turn and draw. He stepped into a lane a 17 yards and I let it fly. Arrow hit high and just behind the shoulder blade from what I can tell. It hit the deer and nosedived into the ground. He jumped a few steps and then trotted off obviously hurt on his right side

    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 !  

  13. 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

  14. 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

    Believe me, as impossible as they are to find, I would almost drive to NH to get them! LOL  I can't imagine what's causing the shortage! Some shops have told me they haven't had any 209 primers in over a year! Just crazy!

    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.

    I might have to rearrange some things to be able to go this weekend. I call 12+ gun shops a couple times a week looking for CCI 209M or Winchester 209 Shot shell primers, but no one has had any in a LONG time. 

    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.
