Happy Birthday G-Man !

Thursday is a no go . Just got reminded about a doctor's appointment this Thursday . Damn !

Happy Birthday !

Youngest son Nick and I went to Geneseo this am . we were in our stands by 6am . It was cold but we managed . I had a small rack buck come in where I had driven the ATV . He was in the high grass and didn't offer a shot . He had walked behind my son who had seen a larger buck in the laneway . He was able to see it through the trees . We went up to our vehicles around 11:30 . At 2pm we went to different spots . I did some trimming and sat in my double chair blind . I didn't see anything in the afternoon but nick saw a couple doe and a half dozen turkeys . Might give it another try Thursday and then get ready for gun season . Havn't seen anyone hunting on the adjacent property all bow season .

How many shots are expected out of a crossbow before replacing the string and cable ?

Going to head to Geneseo is a short while and meet up with my youngest son around 5:45 . Looks mighty cold - below freezing . Even if I could draw my bow , I don't think I could do it with a heavy jacket on . So , crossbow , it is ..........

That's a scary thing to happen . I had a string break on one of my compounds . Luckily it didn't ruin the limbs .

Happy 243rd Birthday to the United States Marine Corp !

I would guess that because the crossbow shoots faster the regular mechanicals might deploy prematurely .

Great looking buck . Congrats !

Nice size buck .....

I have had to Jump Start my battery on my Honda Rancher 420 about 4 times in the past two weeks . I thought the hard starting might have been a fouled spark plug . After having it not start when I was hunting yesterday I decided it was time to replace the battery . it was the original battery and was 9 years old . Bought an Interstate battery to replace the YUASA battery . Only got 9 years out of that battery .

Great picture ......

You can get a duplicate "Back Tag" at no cost . I have gotten a duplicate for the past 5 years . One tag for the backpack and one for the jacket I am wearing . If you lose your other tags , it costs to have them duplicated . I carry my tags in a holder in my backpack .

Could it be a pie bald ??

Went to Geneseo with my oldest son yesterday . Drove my ATV to my elevated stand at the pond . Was in the stand by 6 am . Sat back and relaxed . It was a bit breezy . My son was in the woods about 500 yards away as the crow flies . All he saw was a small 4 point . He stayed there until 11:30 and went back to his truck as he brought a stand to set up for gun season . I hadn't seen anything and got down at noon . The damn ATV wouldn't start . I had to walk 1/2 mile to my car and get my Jump Starter . The ground was ankle deep in water and squishy so it was difficult walking for me as I still havn't gotten my strength and balance back . On the way , I had to duck under an electric fence and didn't quite get low enough . Spooked a fawn and was surprised that it was a small spotted fawn . Got the Jump Starter and headed back but grabbed one of my Treking Poles to help the return walk back to the pond . Before hooking up the Jump Starter I gave it another try . Didn't sound good but on the 2nd try , it started . Damn , it started . All that walking and I was whipped . Stopped at a ATV Dealer in Ontario today and bought an Interstate Battery . I had bought a 2008 Honda 420 Rancher new in 2009 and had the original battery (YUASA battery) . It only lasted for 9 years of usage .

Happy Birthday !

Happy Birthday !

I have a Samsung S-5 and don't want to upgrade .

I cannot fathom anyone buying 8 tons of corn to bait with . Doesn't make sense ! A ton of corn runs about $150 per ton which would make the 8 tons price $1200 . That's pretty pricey baiting !

Don't spill the popcorn ---- that's baiting !

That would bring Law Enforcement as well as a possible Law Suit .............

I bet Hans is in some big trouble !

Pygmy -- Do you have Fender Skirts or Curb Feelers on any of your cars ?

This is the buck with the goofy rack that I mentioned above . Got him on a couple of my trail cams .
