Plattsburg man kills mother bear and her cubs - I didn't want to refer to the man as a hunter . https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/state-news/plattsburgh-hunter-ticketed-for-killing-of-mother-bear-and-cubs/1495275572

December 9 , 2006 , I shot a buck during ML season . When I got to it , it looked strange . It had a broken off arrow through it's cheek and by it's neck causing bleeding . No idea how long the arrow had been there . The arrow had one of those clips for a tracking string .

It's been that way for a long time !

Happy Birthday Genesee Mohican !

I have been thinking about this lately with a few folks having close calls . Why doesn't some company make Blaze Orange Back Packs ? They could be a life saver . The deer don't recognize the orange at all . It seems funny to wear Blaze Orange jacket during gun season and have a camo back pack on .

Git 'r done Fletch !

Ladies meeting

Not all deer are spooked by trail cams . Some like to pose .

Yeah , he wanted his dad to take him squirrel hunting . A regular little RedNeck .

My friend's son and grandson walked past one of my cams and 14 minutes later a doe walked the same path .

Thanks Rob . I was advised not to go out but being stubborn went out anyway just to get it out of my system . I used two trekking poles to make the trip and it was a tough walk as I went into the woods and checked my cameras . . I still have a problem with equilibrium but didn't fall . There were enough trees to help keep me upright . Anyway , I am glad I got out there .

Looks like one of those things from a Star Wars movie . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I was joking about being a possible shooter. I wouldn't hesitate to pull the string on that bad boy . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Pulled some cards today

Went to a friend's property in Walworth this am . Pitch black . There was a light rain so I sat in his pavilion near the woods . Around 8 am I saw a hen turkey and then watched several poults come down out of a tree about 50 yards away . Another hen came out of the brush and appeared injured . Anyway there was 2 hens and a dozen poults . NO DEER >>>>>>> I wasn't hunting as I still don't have my strength back . I just had to be out there opening day .

I won't be hunting but I plan on being in the woods . I have my gear ready and my rain jacket . I am in no shape to be drawing a bow so I wil be there with my camera hoping to see some / any wildlife .

The Webster Store has pistols .

dsg ????????????????????

I am NOT boycotting DICKs or F&S . I don't care what others feel about those stores . Both stores are loaded with pistols , rifles , shotguns , ammo .

Stopped at DICKs in Webster today . I had a coupon plus a gift card . Saw some Decimator carbon fifer bolts with lighted nocks priceed at $ 29.99 for 3 . They were originally over $50 . When I got up the the cash resister there was a problem . The bolts rang up at $19.98 so I had to grab a couple of other things to use the $10 off coupon . Awesome !

She took a polygraph but what was asked ?

I have a pair of Bushnell 7X15 power Binos . I like them but lighter is better . They were $100 at DICKs and were on sale for $50 plus I used a $10 coupon . However , I grabbed a pair of 8X binos at WalMart for $7 that are compact and work fine . My problem with all the binos is ---- In cold weather , they fog up from the heat from my face . Still trying to figure out how to eliminate that problem .

My 2 confrontations could have turned out bad > I am 5'8" and overweight . The two different guys I screamed at were big boys and if it had come to blows , I would have gotten my ass handed to me . Then again , with the adrenaline flow , I might have come out okay .

Damn right I was wearing Blaze Orange ! I ALWAYS wear Blaze Orange when gun hunting .

Had a re-occuring thought come to mind . I remember 3-4 occasions having gun hunters on adjacent properties look at me through their gun scopes . It's a nerve wracking experience . I was able to confront 2 of these a-holes directly after getting out of my stand and walking to them even though I went onto their property . Both said " I didn't have my finger on the trigger " . I was literally screaming at these yahoos for having their guns pointed at me and said for $10 they could carry a pair of cheap Binos to scan the area . I had words with them and left ......... I don't feel that I over reacted as there is nothing more scary than staring at a gun barrel pointed your way .
