Background Checks now being required at Hardware Stores

Field and Stream had the Rocky Silent Hunter Boots on clearance a couple weeks ago . They were normally $140 and marked down to $90 and then reduced to $68 . I wore them for the 1st time Saturday . Withe temp at 36 degrees and only 400 grams of insulation , my feet were a tad cold in the am . They are quite comfortable . They have the Vibram outsole and waterproof but I wouldn't walk through any stream with them . Due to the way they fit , I had to go to a half size larger . Due to fit , I would never buy boots and shoes on-line as my assortment of footwear is 3 different sizes (although I have done so in the past with some luck) ..

Gone .........

Congrats on the birds !

George Carlin said ,"you don't take a dump , you leave one" !

Got up at 3:30 this am to get ready to head to Geneseo to hunt with my youngest son . Was ready to leave at 4:45 and checked the trailer lights as I was hauling the ATV . Left rear running light not working . Took a few minutes and had it fixed ( ground wire ) . About a mile down the road , 2 doe ran across in front of me . Slowed down in case there were more . Hauled butt down 390 as we were to meet at 6 am at my SIL's property . Coming down Lima Road in Geneseo , I had another 2 doe cross in front of me . One actually stopped in the road . It's 45 mph on most of that road and it's one road that I don't speed on . Since Nick doesn't have a lot of days to hunt , he took the stand in the woods and I took another stand in a wooded area near a pond where I put a stand 3 years ago . I didn't see one darned deer and had great visability . Got a text from Nick around 8 am that he had just shot a fawn . I texted back as to why he didn't wait for an adult deer and he said because they had run off . He saw 8 deer , possibly another 2 , a fox and a turkey . It was from the stand that I hunted from opening day in the rain . At 11:30 I got down , walked to my car , got the ATV and sled and headed for the woods to pick up Nick and his deer .The bean fields had been cut earlier in the week . Not sure what the farmer was doing but he made a bumpy mess in the pond field . Took the deer to my son's home and he and his brother skinned it and cut it up . I will probably go back out Monday or Wednesday depending on the weather Almost forgot , it was 36 degrees at 6 am ..........

I have a Wildgame Halo rangefinder with the angle compensation that I use for bow hunting . .

I was thinking of strapping by backpack to a Golf Cart ...........j/k

Larry , my son has property in Italy Valley . He had pictures of bears on his property whick backs up to state land . Shot a few deer from the Tree House

I have a Ranging Range Finder put away somewhere . Not the model shown above . The way it works is by parallax ( I think ) . you line up the object you want to range . You will see a double image . You move the dial until the images overlap and look at the number which tells you the distance . I think it ranges out to 75 yards .

I bought a Milwaukee heated jacket a couple years ago . It works fairly well for a long sit but that requires extra batteries . The batteries cost around $35 each . I have 3 batteries counting the one that came with the jacket . It has hand warmers but if that is turned on it eats up a lot of the battery . Less expensive to buy wool clothing and dress in layers . Carry some of the clothing with you and put it on when you get to your stand . If you are fully dressed walking to your stand you are likely to work up a sweat and when that stops , you will get cold real fast !

Here is what I ended up doing . The Kolpin Rhino Grips are supposed to be mounted on the round bars but my front and rear baskets cover them up so I had to modify how they are mounted . I could have put the grips on the back but want them in front where I can see the bow when I am carrying it .

Tried West Bloomfield Road this am . Was in my stand by 6:30 . Sat back , relaxed and watched the sun come up . At 7 , I saw something out in the middle of the field and grabbed the binos . It was a red fox mousing . I was amazed at how high he would jump . Saw another red fox on the edge of the field . No deer . Got out of the stand at 11 , changed my clothes and drove to Victor . Used the john at WalMart and did some shopping . They had a bunch of weed trimmer stuff on sale for $1 . Bought a couple reels of trimmer line for $1 each . They had bulbs for Stinger Bug Zappers for $1 . I also bought two 8" chainsaw chains for $1 each . Back in the stand at 3 pm and stayed until 6:30 . Wasn't seeing anything until I got down from the stand . 2 bucks and 3 doe were at the far end of the field . The beans were brown so the deer weren't eating the tops . I bet they had been in the corn fields south of this area .

It might have been leaving a Peace Offering .

Congrats on your deer . Sorry for your loss and hope the rest of your family is well .

I know I carry some un-needed items in my backpack but I would rather have them with me than to hike a mile back to the car to get them .

Hildabeast has Al Gore as a Climate Change / Global Warming adviser now .

The Kolpin bow holder is supposed to mount on the tubing on an ATV . I have front and rear baskets so I had to modify how I could mount it . Looks like it is going to work okay . I won't have to strap the big bow case now .

I weighed my backpack and it weighs 13 1/2 pounds . Glad I am such a healthy physical specimen at 75 !

When I used one of those , I had to go to a small bow shop to buy one as the Big Box stores didn't carry the tubing . They sell it by the foot and you can expect to get ripped off for cost . I got rid of mine as I could hear the tube noise when I shot and you can expect the tubing to break at the worst time . Just an opinion .

Tonsils and adenoids ? It seemed like when I was a kid , that was done around the age of 7 years old as standard procedure .
