  1. Not everyone does it. The guy that did mine past away several years ago but that was all he did. He would cut and stack and trucks came down from Canada and picked it up and hauled it back. Getting that sunlight on the ground made it nasty thick with briars and pine trees. Certain spots I can't even walk through. My pines are a mix of Red and White.
  2. Picture of knife and box we put the license in.
  3. A couple of months ago I told my friend we should we should get his boy a Lifetime Hunting License for a Graduation present. We got a couple more friends to get in on it and made it happen. Yesterday at his Graduation Party we presented it to him along with a monogrammed knife. All of us adults got emotional when he opened it up and shed a tear. It's a gift that he'll get every year and remember where it came from. I'm already looking forward to doing it again for another friend. Best of luck Tyler!
  4. Found my first ever shed yesterday. I was mowing along a newly established food plot and there it was. Pretty beat up, looks like I drug the disc over a couple of times.
  5. What did you roll it with and did you spray it with anything? I plan on doing that this fall with my buckwheat plots.
  6. I wheeled Silverado's for 30+ years. Recently my 2015 with the 5.3 and 55,000 miles had to have the lifters replaced. $3000 worth and out of warranty! GM reimbursed me 2/3's of that. GM claimed it was caused by Active Fuel Management which drops 4 cylinders out to improve fuel mileage. I traded it in for Toyota Tundra that I have only put 3000 miles on and so far so good. Good luck with whatever you choose!
  7. Heard some gobbling this morning at two locations. Then I hit a nice two year old that I called in for a friend. I’m having a fun season!
  8. Finished up my 2021 season at 6:23 this morning. He roosted about 100 yds of my blind. I set up a lone hen decoy well before daylight. He had several hens and a Jake with him and he slowly strutted my way. My first triple bearded bird, 8”, 5 1/2”, and 5”. 1 1/8” Spurs and about 20#. Fun hunt!
  9. On the board! Called once, never heard a gobble. Four hens and this guy came in to feed in the fresh spread manure.
  10. Had a hen intercept a gobbler off roost and passed an iffy shot on one walking by with 5 hens. Cold, windy and a dusting of snow. No gobbling since early.
  11. My Grandfather worked at Ballantine Brewery in Newark NJ in the 60’s. I guess Pabst brought it back.
  12. On Friday 4/23/21, Dick's in Oneonta had Winchester Longbeard XR's in 3". Also Federal Heavyweight TSS in 3 1/2 ( 5 for $65).
  13. Great time of the year to get outside and and walk the roads and pick up garbage. I filled a 13 gallon bag with cans just walking within 1/2 mile from home. Coors Light 16oz was the winner. I live on a one lane dirt road. The first year I did it I filled two 55 gallon bags. Now it's just basic maintenance. I just rode the tractor around the field and picked up all the loose bailing wrap also.
  14. 2nd shot of Maderna on Friday and no side effects. I drank 2 Pedialyte's immediately after the shot.
  15. Deer have been hammering the winter for a good three weeks now. Hands down my favorite plot. About time to disc it up though.
  16. Frost seeded three weeks ago and it is coming to life!
  17. I gave it a whirl this morning. I would never know if I didn’t try.
  18. Here in 4P we got about 2 feet on the Thursday of muzzleloader. My neighbor came up from Westchester and rode his sled. He lets me hunt his property, he doesn't hunt. I didn't say a word to him. The local clubs here don't ride until all deer seasons are over. Most trails here are on private property.
  19. If somebody wants something bad enough, they'll get it. Most of my cams are on my own property so I don't have many problems with theft. I do lock up some of my cams to protect them from bears. Camo, not using a black strap on a silver tree, and elevating your cams will help keep them out of sight.
  20. Learned on an old Willy's at deer camp when I was ten. My first auto trans I owned was in 2001.
  21. I always pack my coat in. I'll sit in the stand and cool off before putting coat and gaiter on. Using a boot dryer ensures my boots are dry.
