I like it on lots of stuff. Not good steaks, just butter and salt on good steaks for me.

I think it's good to have others with different points of view, even if their totally wrong and don't have an open mind to other points of view.

I was hoping they would learn something here, but as usual they run away when facts are presented.

Who could've guessed Elon Musk would be the one to expose the left's corruption and fraud they used to steal the 2020 election from Trump and the trailer park deplorables ?

Makes Watergate look like a walk in the park, but we'll never see anything done about it till next year, probably after VP Harris is sworn in as President.

 

 

 

You will never see rich politicians punished for these financial motivated crimes and decisions. Watergate is just another manipulated situation that most players involved weren't even questioned, let alone punished.

Blue or red, both greedy scumbags that go to sleep every night not giving a shit about you. Yet here we are arguing over scraps and blaming eachother. Real power of American Citizens is gone, and truly in my mind never existed more than in mind. 

Love your neighbor and community and celebrate the things you have in common. Don't let your differences tear us apart. 

Ignorance of a failing system, and forgetting the bi-party segregation is one way to make our country better. Lol not the blame game.

Your right to a point. They will do that when they smell something they don’t know what it is right away. Some deer smell a whiff of human on a branch and they will turn inside out trying to get out of there. Some will smell this ever calm and not that it alarms them but it’s definitely something new as far  as smell and they will stop to figure things out and then bolt or continue on their route. Even Evercalm can put a hurt on bow hunters at times because those same once calm deer are now aware and alert about a different smell that it puts you at more jeopardy of getting busted moving or making a noise. 

I like it for.ground hunting in early October. Good cover sent. The deer don't always respond well to it so I use it case by case. Unpresured deer often come into the scent curiously, mostly does in my experience.

You didn't get to vote for that either. It doesn't matter whos driving, this old Cadillac hasn't been maintenence since Kenedy died. All the politicians are corrupt. Help your neighbor/community,  love your family and forget about this shit. You can't change it. The vote doesn't count.

I have an electronic call but the animals get used to it. I switched to mouth and hand calls mostly now. I'm trapping them for the first time this season also.

I get grouse on my property.  Pretty sure it would be impossible to hunt them without a dog.  They pretty much wait for you to step on them and then pop up.  Half the time they fly right at you.  The DEC nursery program has a "Grouse Packet" of various trees and shrubs you can plant to attract grouse.

That's what they all do

I could only hold out for the first two hours after sunrise, in my swamp-edge hang-on stand this morning.  That little thing is not made for sits longer than 2 hours in good weather.  No action at all there early this morning, not even a squirrel.  The wind was gusting close to 30 mph from the SW, and the light scattered rain started getting heavier around 9:30.

At that time, I made the 400 yard move, to my two story truck-cap blind.  I’ve never killed anything from downstairs of this one, but did take what was likely my largest-ever bodied buck (43” chest girth) from the upstairs with my crossbow, about 6 years ago.lol

I shot my gun-season buck last year from another blind, here at my parents place.  He ran past and died within 50 yards of this one, after taking this 20 cent, 16 ga Remington slugger from my old Ithaca. That slug never exited his rib-cage.  It fell out from under the hide, when I skinned him.  It knocked chunks of busted rib all the way through, so that there was a decent, 75 yard long blood trail on the snow, spraying from both sides.  

 

I’d be happy if my old Ithaca 16 gauge could get it done on a unicorn with a single 3-1/4” spike today. I’ve gone thru a quart of cider and my last snicker bar this morning and I am now completely out of provisions.  I guess that I should have rationed my supply better.   Hopefully, the rain lets up soon, so I can make it to lunch with my parents, without getting too wet.  

 

This blind has the solid end facing the prevailing wind direction (SW), and is super comfortable on horizontal-rain days, like today. My tree umbrella is nearly useless in those type of conditions.  

 

What’s best about these two-story models, is the instant that the rain stops I can go upstairs, where there are no “blind spots”.  

I still need to break in the first floor of this one, with a deer kill. So far, I have only killed squirrels from down here.  There’s been about a dozen deer and a coyote killed from the upstairs of the similar one, that I have at home, and about half of that from it’s lower deck.  

This thing is awesome

They don't do anything unless you will sign a statement and be a witness in court. I dont need that drama with my neighbors. I still get plenty of opportunities

7r Tompkins County seems the same, deer are definitely using the land differently,  but population seems the same.

[Giant fisher]

I've had 2 different fishers, very large, chase me out of the woods. They seem comfortable with people often, I don't like them. Trapping season lines up with deer hunting so I've never tried it. They are hell on turkeys.

If it is true, there is a conspiracy between the White House and the Main Stream Media to keep it quiet until after the election. 

The same thing was done with hunter Biden's laptop prior to the 2020 election.  The media has lost all credibility already.  This would be proof of corruption.

As per Newsmax, the United States has only 24 days left of diesel supply and the Biden administration is doing NOTHING about it !!
Everything will come to a halt. No trucking...no food delivery to stores.... Emergency services like ambulance and fire departments that run their vehicles on diesel....sidelined, etc. etc. etc.
We are in BIG trouble folks !!
Share this as the Biden administration does not want the public to know this before the midterms !!

Nothing happened?
