Happy Birthday Geno .......

Take a ride on some country roads and you will see deer all over the place .

Hogg Sha-zit

My son , Nick , lives on County Rd 33 just south of Ganyard Hill Road . He has deer bed down 60 yards from his front porch and can't get to his stand because the deer are laying there . He has trail cams but none are out . I told him to put up the cams and see what time they show up or leave . At least try to pattern them . Saw several deer on Egypt road between Co road 33 and Rt 32 .

My wife and I went to my youngest son's home for dinner . We took a 13 pound ham . My son's in-laws were visiting from Venezuela . Nick and I took a walk around his property as I plan to help him remove some dead trees and brush and clean things up . I plan to take two chain saws and he has a loaner but has never used one . We saw an awful lot of deer droppings on our little trek . Anyway , when my wife and I left we counted over 40 deer in various fields on Route 32 between Ganyard Hill and route 64 . At one point I had to stop as a couple deer were starting to cross the road but went back into the ditch . This is down in WNYBuckhunter's neck of the woods . It was great to see so many deer out .

I got out my Parker Phoenix bow yesterday . Put a string loop on it and shot 32 arrows . Wasn't grouping and need more practice with it . It is set at 70 pounds so it should make my 60 pound compound easier to draw when I shoot that next .

One of my daughters and two of her kids went to Mass with us this am . She and my son in law were married on April 1st 29 years ago at the PLanetarium (sp) in Rochester . She wanted to get married on April 1st and he wanted to get married under the stars . They both got their wish . My son in law died of cancer 6 years ago . He never made it to 50 . April 1st is still an important date .

Happy Birthday ! havn't heard from you since last November . Is everything okay ?

That is darned good for that distance ! There are a lot of archers that can't do that with a compound !

Since "Puppet Boy" Hogg has stepped into the arena , he should be treated as an adult . If he can't run with the big dogs , stay on the porch !

Moog , that's a great group for 5 yards . Now , back up a bit from the target .

Happy Birthday Bizzarino !

Sometimes it appears that this new generation is being influenced by the older generation of Hippies . They think that we should just drink , smoke pot , sing Kumbaya and there will be Peace on Earth . Hogg is a puppet and nothing more than a media whore !

roundworms ! Grampy got roundworms from the dogs . Grampy went to the veterinarian to get some de-wormer medication and was told .....

I have 7 out in Geneseo and 5 out in Walworth . If the water in the Walworth swamp recedes , maybe the deer will start traveling their old routes . Either Walworth or Penfield cleaned part of a ditch system and now the water doesn't flow south from the swamp and it floods .

I guess I can continue to practice shooting my compounds in the basement .

I don't expect to quit hunting for some time . As soon as deer season is over , I am anxious for the next season . I remember when I had a partial knee surgery that the surgeon said no more ladders . I said " how in hell do you think I am going to get in my stands without a ladder" ? He just shook his head . I have given a lot of my hunting surplus to my sons that hunt . I was thinking of selling some of my other surplus on CraigsList to local folks . I just have to get rid of the obsession of buying hunting gear just because it's on sale or clearance . My father in law got me started deer hunting in 1965 . We hunted together for about 5 years and he quit . I hunted a couple more years and stopped . My sister in law bought property in Geneseo and asked if I wanted to hunt with her so I got back into it . My son in law hunted with me for a couple years and he quit deer hunting . I got use to hunting alone My oldest son started deer hunting after he graduated from college and had some time and then we got my youngest son into it . I retired in 1998 and have put in a lot of hours every season . Since I have all that time , I hunt alone a lot . I still find myself capable of dragging a deer . It just takes more time !

Congrats on your retirement . Enjoy the traveling ........

I was out checking Trail Cams this week . I was considering moving stands later and maybe buying a couple more . When I got home , I was in the basement later and checked the peg board in my hunting part of the basement looking at a lot of the stuff that I had collected over the years and never used . I even have hunting clothes that I don't wear . A thought came to mind . I will be 77 this coming deer season . I started to wonder , how many more years could I keep up the hunting ? As long as I can draw the bow , climb a ladder stand , drag a deer and walk a couple miles , I will keep it up . It gets me up off my lazy butt and gives me some exercise . I doubt if there is any member older than me but how or when do you determine when to call it quits ? When do you decide that you have enough hunting gear and don't need any more ?

Happy Birthday guys . Hope all of you have a great day .

I use the Hunt Stand ap . Posted my stands and Trail Cams on it . I like the "Boundry Feature" where can see property lines and owners of properties . The Boundry Feature works for Monroe and Livingston Counties but not for Wayne County . I havn't tried Scoutlook or OnX .

Tree Cutting Fails

a clue led them to travel to the Bronx at an address belonging to Uptown Redneck . Uptown wasn't home and it was assumed that he was Downtown . The neighbors wouldn't help with the investigators because they were drug dealers who stuck together and didn't snitch on one another . then out of the blue ...........

Some of us are Special !

Un beknown by Agent Grow , Agent Burmjohn was surveying the situation with his $30,000 government drone . Meanwhile Bubba and the militia were trying to shoot down the drone .
