Meanwhile , back at the ranch , Bubba had gathered the Militia for a meeting and said .......

Got a pleasant surprise when I got home yesterday . I checked my e-mails and had one from the Pistol Permit Recertification and got the approval for my pistols . Mailed it Jan 5 , it was signed for Jan 9 and certified March 26 . Jippie !

Doing a search on the site , I didn't see much on the Micky Mouse Boots . My feet get cold hunting and I have tried other boots . My wife got me a pair of the remote battery operated foot warmers that I will try this fall . My brother in law just retired from the Army Reserve after serving 36 years and retired as a Warrant Officer . Anyway , I visited him yesterday and we were talking about hunting and cold feet . He said his feet never get cold while wearing the Micky Mouse Boots . Does anyone have any experience with these ? Plus's and minus's ?

By any chance .... Was the group of Turkeys Pygmy and his buddies ?

Happy Birthday ..... Have a GREAT day !

Pulled cards from Trail Cams and deleted all the unnecessary crap plus reset the time on the cams . It was rough walking through the field and woods as the mud kept trying to suck the boots off of my feet . I'll see about posting pics tomorrow . I am tired !

I was at the Geneseo WalMart this afternoon . They had that same camera at $78.88 .....

Listen to Moog . He can help you Pussify the truck !

I leave mine out . The ones in Walworth don't show much activity as the swamp has overflowed and the deer are taking different travel routes . Only getting night time raccoon pics . Going to head to Geneseo this am and check my cams there . Hopefully there will be more Turkey photos .

Great pics and write-up !

Happy Birthday . Enjoy Palm Sunday .

From another post

I think someone asked this a couple years ago but I am not going to go through a couple years of posts to find it . I think once to shoot one one of these it's ruined . On 2nd thought -------- click the arrow in the top right of nybuckboy's post below

Why did you build it sideways ?

Here is some info you all need. This bill, It’s not an official ‘Federal Budget’. It’s an Omnibus bill…not a Budget…He outsmarted them again…Congress basically screwed themselves by not passing a Budget… Per the Constitution…the President must adhere to a Budget set forth by Congress and direct the expenditures as provided therein. This is another one of those big Porkulus Bills, like they gave Obama for 8 years. This is not a Budget.. An Omnibus Spending Bill may have some ‘instructions’ as to how the money will be spent…but Obama ignored them. He spent the money, or didn’t spend it, however he wanted to. And Congress didn’t do a thing about it! Because they couldn’t.. I think our President observed how this happened, year after year. He is bound to realize that those ‘appropriations’ for different things in these Omnibus bills…are merely ‘suggestions’. So like Obama, Pres Trump can spend this money on whatever he wants to. Or…not spend it. Planned Parenthood? What if our President decided to tell the Treas Dept to ‘slow-walk’ that money to Planned Parenthood…until the Senate gets off their ass and confirms his appointees? Sanctuary Cities? What if our President decided to ‘slow-walk’ that money too…until those Sanctuary Cities assist ICE in rounding up criminal illegal aliens? Splodey heads? From the Dems and the Enemedia? Why yes. There would be a colorful display of splodey heads. But what could they do about it. Hah. Our President could just say…’What! Congress should’ve passed a Budget.’ done finished…research was done…and it is so very humorous actually….our VSG..just said just give me money for the military and the wall…put anything else you want in it…and those goofballs did. In this case, as per above….he doesn’t have to spend a dime….because it is not a budget…and even if it was…researched….he could still spend as he please… Congress appropriates….up to the President to spend it…or not….as he pleases.. Wheatietoo laid it all out for all…Wheatietoo did most of the work and put together the consolidated update as per above…. Again, that is why Obama never had a Budget in his Presidency…Congress did continual Omibus’s and he just took the money….for 8 years…and no one seems to know where it went…

If only Syracuse could make Foul Shots !

I will take a good size doe at the 1st opportunity . I passed on 4 different 4 point bucks with the hopes that a big boy or large doe would come by . It never happened .

My wife pulled one on me . I made sure that I always got to work early and was never late . One morning she got me up and said the alarm clock didn't go off and I was late . I jumped out of bed and she said she would get coffee and toast for me while I shaved . I was ticked and in the bathroom swearing while I was shaving . She came to the door and said , "before you cut yourself shaving , I set the clocks ahead and you aren't late . April Fool " ! I chuckled all the way to work . Damn that woman ...

My sister in law has the Sumac right behind her house . It spreads by sending out runner like strawberries and raspberries do . The stuff is spreading into her lawn . It's okay in the wild but not too close to a house .

tommyc50 --- Happy Birthday from one of the "Holier than Thous" .....

I was in Webster today and stopped off at WalMart . They had some Trail Cams on clearance and I saw a Moultrie W-30iTC . Got the last one for $19 . It was originally $79 . It came with batteries and a 8 GB SD card . I really didn't need it but it was such a bargain .

From Today's Rochester D&C Newspaper Andreatta takes quadruple dog dare from gun nut I never turned down a quadruple dog dare in middle school, and I’m not about to start now. So, I’ve accepted one from an angry reader to print what he purported in an anonymous letter to be “truthful statistics” about guns. “Thought you would like to see some truthful statistics in regard to guns,” he wrote in a letter postmarked March 6 with no return address or signature. “I quadruple dog dare you to print this in your column — I’m certain you WILL NOT!!” Well, I’m showing him, aren’t I? I can hear him now: “I know you are, but what am I?” I’m publishing his rant not because of its truthfulness, but to illustrate the tortured, dog-whistle politics- laced logic that’s informing the gun debate for a sizable voting bloc. Logic like his is partly why nothing gets done. Mr. Dog Dare’s letter is mostly a cut-and-paste job of a viral June 2017 Facebook post by gun-worshipping rocker Ted Nugent. That post has been shared 119,000 times, suggesting it has infiltrated the news feeds and minds of untold millions of Facebook users. Refuting Nugent’s most outrageous claims would require more space than I’m inclined to devote to a quadruple dog dare. I’m thinking readers will spot the holes in his arguments on their own anyway. Suffice to say, though, that Nugent crafts fallacy after fallacy from sometimes questionable data to make a case for maintaining the status quo. Consider his non sequitur that “65 percent (of gun deaths) are by suicide which would never be prevented by gun laws.” While it’s true that upward of 6 in 10 gun deaths are suicides, it doesn’t follow that those suicides were inevitable. Then there’s his appeal to authority that “15 percent (of gun deaths) are by law enforcement in the line of duty and justified.” Justified? All of them? Tell that to the family of Walter Scott, the South Carolina man whose killer cop was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Don’t even get me started on his false equivalency likening the lethal power of guns to double cheeseburgers. I’ve condensed Mr. Dog Dare’s letter here to the “truthful statistics” for brevity. Readers can find the full text of it on my Facebook page. Mr. Andreatta — Thought you would like to see some truthful statistics in regard to guns. I quadruple dog dare you to print this in your column — I’m certain you WILL NOT!! I refer you to the last line of this message — “control” — NOT “gun.” One more thought — NOT ONE of these incidents was perpetuated by an NRA member — NOT ONE! What does that say about its members?!? Just thought you ought to see some REAL facts and figures. NO ONE will ever get my guns. My family and my possessions are protected by my friends — Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson and Mr. Winchester. There are 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disputed. U.S. population 324,059,091 as of Wednesday, June 22, 2016. Do the math: 0.000000925% of the population dies from gun related actions each year. Statistically speaking, this is insignificant! What is never told, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths, to put them in perspective as compared to other causes of death: ❚ 65% of those deaths are by suicide which would never be prevented by gun laws ❚15% are by law enforcement in the line of duty and justified ❚ 17% are through criminal activity, gang and drug related or mentally ill persons — gun violence ❚ 3% are accidental discharge deaths So technically, “gun violence” is not 30,000 annually, but drops to 5,100. Still too many? Well, first, how are those deaths spanned across the nation? ❚ 480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago ❚344 homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore ❚333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit ❚ 119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (a 54% increase over prior years) So basically, 25% of all gun crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of those cities have strict gun laws, so it is not the lack of law that is the root cause. This basically leaves 3,825 for the entire rest of the nation, or about 75 deaths per state. That is an average because some States have much higher rates than others. For example, California had 1,169 and Alabama had 1. Are 5,100 deaths per year horrific? How about in See ANDREATTA, Page 15A ontinued from Page 2A comparison to other deaths? All death is sad and especially so when it is in the commission of a crime but that is the nature of crime. Robbery, death, rape, assault all is done by criminals and thinking that criminals will obey laws is ludicrous. That’s why they are criminals. But what about other deaths each year? ❚ 40,000+ die from a drug overdose — THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT! ❚ 36,000 people die per year from the flu, far exceeding the criminal gun deaths ❚34,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities (exceeding gun deaths even if you include suicide) Now it gets good: ❚ 200,000+ people die each year (and growing) from preventable medical errors. You are safer in Chicago than when you are in a hospital! ❚ 710,000 people die per year from heart disease. It’s time to stop the double cheeseburgers! So what is the point? If Obama and the anti-gun movement focused their attention on heart disease,even a 10% decrease in cardiac deaths would save twice the number of livesannually of all gunrelated deaths (including suicide, law enforcement, etc.). A 10% reduction in medical errors would be 66% of the total gun deaths or 4 times the number of criminal homicides. So you have to ask yourself, in the grand scheme of things, why the focus on guns? It’s pretty simple: Taking away guns gives control to governments. Thus, the second amendment was proudly and boldly included in the U.S. Constitution. It must be preserved at all costs. Remember, when it comes to “gun control,” the important word is “control,” not “gun.” This is the mindset that supporters of progressive gun reforms are up against. I quintuple dog dare them to keep up the fight. David Andreatta is a Democrat and Chronicle columnist. He can be reached at DANDREATTA@Gannett .com.

One of my daughters gave us tickets to the Bill Engvall show at the Kodak Center Theater . We had front row seats and the show was great . Imagine a comedy show that could be so funny without any dirty language . The show lasted over 1 1/2 hour . Engvall is or was part of the Redneck Comedy Tour .
