I use e-mail and then if someone is interested , we do phone conversation .

Enjoyed the story . Hope you are dried out . Congrats on the bird !

Happy Birthday ......... have a great day !

Probably the next thing that will happen will be the burning of History Books .

I have another suet feeder next to a post so she can hang onto the the post and feed easier . When I am outside I can hear her before she comes in so I get out of sight so I don't scare her . Havn't seen the male yet this year .

I was at the Aldi's in Webster . I guess I missed the excitement . The only time I have seen anyone act belligerent is a couple of times when shoppers were told they couldn't pay for an item with their EBT card . .

The female Piliated Woodpecker has been back each day for a week . Got her with the cheap Bresser game camera . Here is a pic from the cam and then cropped and lightened .

Interesting and quite thorough . During the Youth Weekend twice as many males were killed than females .

Very nice pics !

IR-Flash - 22 IR lights .......Response time - 1.2 seconds ........IR Flash range - 10 meters ( 33 feet ) It has a small screen in front on the bottom . When you turn the camera on it shows what is in front of it . It also supposedly lets you review what in on the card with up / down buttons which I havn't tried yet . It has a small hole in front where a lock could be placed to cable lock it to a tree but the side opening where the card is cannot be locked so I would want to put this up high . The IR Flash can be seen at night . But , what the heck , $20 ! ........ Maybe I will try all of Wooly's suggestions !

I saw a Bresser 5 mega pixel game camera in WalMart several months ago that was listed for $50 . I had never heard of it and it didn't look very impressive . Saw it again a couple months ago for $30 . Last week I was looking for something on line on the WalMart . I happened to see the camera listed for under $20 with ship to store pickup so I ordered one . It uses micro sd cards and 8 AA batteries . The pictures aren't too bad but they don't show date , time , temp , etc .. Just plain pictures . Glad it was only a $20 investment . Date and time are important so I don't know what I will use this camera for . https://www.walmart.com/ip/Bresser-5MP-Game-Camera/54265514

I have arthritis in my hands / fingers and find this type of release helpful as you are pulling with you wrist and shoulder vs the fingers / hand .

Good point . It the draw length is off , the OP should be able to have it adjusted at a Bow Shop .

Welcome to Hunting NY

Welcome to Hunting NY

Go pound sand ? Are we out of rock salt ?

I have never heard of soaking venison in water either . I would guess that if it smells bad it most likely is bad . \ Oh heck , I just realized when this thread was started .......oops !

That Yote is scary looking !

Dates are good ............

Grampy , the stand is in a double tree trunk .......... By the time Bow Season opens everything will change and seeing the deer on this property will be sporadic .

Where's Waldo ? I saw the other two after magnifying the pic .

The water level in my friend's swamp has receded . I had 3" to spare at the top of my boots . The Energizer batteries didn't last as long as the Tractor Supply brand .

No Growie , I don't have a flatulence problem !

I put a stand up here a couple years ago but it is too much in the open ........ the deer show up periodically .....

Some dog owners don't bother to put collars on their dogs ......... and , before anyone says something , I know it's a Coyote .
