What's the Scariest hunting situation you have had ? Here is mine ..... After I retired I started shooting woodchucks for farmers just for something to do . I shot most of them in Walworth , NY for a few farmers . I was not familiar with muck fields and had never been near one until I was on some property in Walworth . I was going through a muck field and was attempting to cross a ditch rather than walk a quarter mile and cross over a culvert . The ditch level was over 4 feet lower than the field level . It looked reasonably dry and I could see raccoon tracks on top of the ground . I climbed down the one side and took a step and my foot sank into the earth almost to my knee . My foreward momentum caused me to take another step and I threw myself forward so my hands and gun were on the other side . I tried to move my legs but couldn't . All I could think of was quicksand ......... I started to panic as I didn't have a phone , I was over a mile from any house , and I was 4' lower than the ground level . I calmed myself down and again tried pulling my legs out of the muck and wasn't having any luck . I pushed my rifle up the bank as far as I could reach which wasn't far . I grabbed the back of my jeans behind my knee and pulled while hanging onto some brush . Was able to move it a few inches and then the other leg as I grabbed some higher brush . I finally got free but my heart was pounding a mile a minute .I sat there for at least 15 minutes until I quit shaking and went back to my truck . I saw the farmer a couple days later and told him about my experience and the old fart just laughed . Nothing like learning a lesson the hard way ! This was scarier than the time I had a guy shooting at a deer that was running up a bank toward me and I had to drop on the ground and lay flat while the deer almost ran over me .

Easter will never be the same again !

I have cams that I leave out all year long . All my cameras are cable locked to trees . I have 3 cams in Walworth ( 10 miles away ) and 5 cams in Geneseo ( 50 miles away ) . two of my cameras in Geneseo are 3/4 mile walk through some crap to get to two cams I put in the woods this year . The cams I like are the Moultrie TRACE cams that Phade talked about some time ago . Havn't seen them advertised or in stores . They want an outrageous price on EBAY or Amazon . The TRACE Premise cams I bought were $40 each . Look at the EBAY price on the link I am posting . http://www.ebay.com/itm/TRACE-Premise-Surveillance-Camera-/122298600313?hash=item1c79908b79:g:YXMAAOSw2xRYbUQM

Looks like those survivors have some potential . Healthy looking deer .

The Obamanator gave out more Medal of Freedom Awards than any other President https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidential_Medal_of_Freedom_recipients

Will the delivery drones have cameras on them to prove that packages are delivered ? Still waiting to see drone deliveries .

Uptown ---- make that the next "8" years !

Uptown --- Here is the real clown

Looks like a Yote , a fox , and some doe survived .

The Macedon Store had some of the spring type dog house blinds on clearance fo $25 . I already have 2 of them . Bought some camo burlap 12' X 54" for less than $4 . Picked up a set of saw horses for $18 . I still have another $65 left on TCS gift cards .

Donny gets the last laugh ! The Pundits are now eating crow ! On the plus side , the crow population should be reduced significantly !

I might make a trip to the Macedon Walmart later today . Gotta get the ice out of the driveway first . .

I would pity the poor deer on the receiving end of that contraption !

I was watching Syracuse Basketball ....... but their A team didn't show up . Can't stand to listen to the BS that King Barack spews out . I am surprised that he hasn't dislocated his shoulder by patting himself on the back !

Don't forget that Tractor Supply has hunting stuff and has most of it on clearance .

I really don't need anything but I find it difficult to pass up a bargain . I seldom shot at Gander Mountain as I find DICK's and Field & Stream to be cheaper . If I can't find what I want at those stores , I may try Gander Mountain .. I was considering buying a pair of Muck Boots as I have heard a lot of good things about them . However , they donate a lot to the SPCA of which I do not support so I passed on them . As for Guide Gear boots . I havn't purchased the boots questioned above but I have bought their hunting boots before . All I can say is they are fair and you get what you pay for . They don't last as long as boots like Rocky , etc ..

I have never been able to take pics alone except for the picture in my profile photo . I GOOGLED how to set the timer for my Samsung S5 phone and was able to figure out how to set it for 10 seconds . I will have to give it a try sometime when out hunting .

Only in the movies are the rifles silent .........

Yeah , the Illegals the Mexi-Fornia brain dead and dead people find Trump unqualified .

30-06 Outdoor Ladder Stand Second Man Winch

I have done almost all of my single stands alone . It's no biggie . Do like Culvercreek posted above . The hardest part is when putting the stand up , I grab the foot support part and walk it up and sometimes its slips so I take a 2' wide 2"X4" with a couple holes drilled in it for tent stakes and put the bottom of the ladder against it to keep it from slipping . My son puts the top part against the tree and moves the ladder up . That seems easier for him . If you aren't in a hurry , wait for help .

I got some 270 brass that Bubba had resized for 25-06 and it worked great . As for the original post , I never heard of stainless media .

The camera was under the raised back deck that has a roof over it . Camera and case were dry and everything works . Every once in a while I get lucky . The killer was the fact that I had been within 3 -4 feet of it several times and never noticed it . After finding it , I put an ITAG in the case so I can track it . Any cases that would fit this camera are either black or gray or oversized !

I want to get mine co-registered with one of my sons before I do the recertification . He is in Monroe and I am in Wayne .

Uhhhhhh , where is there a WalMart in Walworth ? Are you thinking of the Macedon store on RT 31 ?
