  1. All I want is 4 more years of Trump.
  2. Got sued for a pit bite this year. Maxed out our homeowner's. Thank God they covered us.
  3. I would really like to go traditional for next year's archery season. Taking my recurve to the shop on Wednesday to get arrows made, and the rest / string set up correctly. Also getting a crash course on form, etc. My bow is nothing special. My old bowfishing rig. It's a 45lb Samick Sage. I figure if I start shooting now, maybe I can get the hang of it in time to hunt with it next fall. Anyone made the switch? Any pointers appreciated from you traditional guys. Thanks.
  4. You can't be serious. Shooting a most likely unarmed thief? Call the coroner? More like call your lawyer. From jail.
  5. It will happen here. Voter apathy and willful ignorance.
  6. We like to camp and go kayaking. Usually camp at our land once a year, and go on a few trips up north every summer. Living in the finger lakes, we have a lot of opportunities to kayak. Made sure to pick hobbies that would include my wife. She's a good sport about me being gone all hunting season, so hanging with her in summer is the least I can do!
  7. I tried cooking fish in mine. Terrible.
  8. https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/hunting-fishing/2010/11/25/Bear-s-demise-leaves-a-trail-of-questions/stories/201011250266 Some sportsman right there. I know feeding is illegal, and for good reason, but don't give me some bull that this guy didn't know the bear was practically a pet. He knew exactly what he was doing.
  9. Are you getting lag time with a 209 inline? That's weird. The lag should be so short you can't even tell. Unless the rifle is dirty or something else is going on. Even with my percussion cap Hawken, it's usually not noticeable. Now a flint lock, that's a whole other story. Muzzleloader is my go-to weapon also. Nice sight in.
  10. Brother in law shot this buck at my camp on Saturday. Take a look at his rear leg, just above the foot. I think it's a scope cap. He musta stepped through it. Didn't seem to be causing him any discomfort.
  11. Out of my 20ga, I shoot 2 3/4" Brenneke Green lightning slugs. My Hawken shoots 460gr No Excuses conicals.
  12. Has anyone here hunted wild Sika on the Eastern shore? If so, did you do it DIY or guided? Looking into going next year with my son. Rates seem pretty affordable at $250 a day for a guided bowhunt.
  13. The recipe had a lot of cayenne and black pepper in it. It turned out great!
  14. For a fully cooked like the one we did.. 2 minutes per lb at 350 degrees. Let oil heat to 400 before placing ham in. Temp will drop. It was a spiral sliced. I gotta warn you tho, you'll never go back to normal ham. I know I won't.
  15. Congrats! Agreed. I miss bow season already. Gun isn't my thing either.
  16. Pulled a double with my Brother in law today! We went to the back of the property, and sat in my box blind together. About 8:00 I see this doe coming along the ridge. I bleat and stop her, Tom double lung / heart shoots her at 75 yards. She hunched up and fell over after 15 yards. Perfect. His 3rd deer ever. We decide to wait an hour or two and see what happens. Well 15 minutes later, along came this buck trailing Tom's doe. He stopped in the exact spot that Tom shot his doe. I took the shot with my Hawken, and he disappeared. I thought I missed. We went down to check it out, and there he was, 30 yards from where I hit him. My first muzzleloader buck!
  17. Deep fried ham we did on Friday. It was only the best thing I ever ate.
