Good luck with your surgery and a quick recovery .

The guy I work part time for is 10 years younger than me . He hunts ducks and geese but hasn't hunted deer in many years . He said sitting out in a stand and not seeing anything or getting a shot is too boring .

Congrats Wooly . Any deer killed with a bow is exciting .

I broke the clip on my Otter Box . Thought I was going to have to buy another one but was able to find the holsters on EBAY for $3.99 plus shipping and $2 off if I bought 2 so I did . Mine is also camo but enough Orange so it shows up . Congrats Stonearm !

Welcome back to Hunting NY

I used to see many cars/ trucks parked along the field and woods edges while driving to a hunting spot . It has become a rarity . We would also get several hunters coming into the north end of my SILs property but not anymore and there are few cars spotted on Country Club Road in Geneseo . Three guys have leased the property west of my SIL's . I never once saw anyone on that property and no shooting over there . Years ago , during gun season , we would hear all sorts of shooting around us . That has ceased . I also used to be able to get a deer between 9:30 - 11 am when hunters would get antsy and go back to their vehicles to take a break or just get up and walk the woods . That would get the deer moving . This no longer happens as no one is out there .

As I stated , $3 isn't a lot but if it happens enough times , it all adds up . Almost always if an item is listed as "2 for $10" you would think that 1 would cost half as much ( $5 ) , but apparently this doesn't always take place . The clerk told me that Wegman's also does this . I check my sales slips a lot closer now . Sorry if I bored some with the posting but I was bored .

Bought a few items at DICKs today . I was watching as the clerk rang things up . The item that came up wrong was some scent free laundry soap . It had a tag for 2 for $10 so I figured $5 wasn't bad and was going to get it even though I don't really need any at this time . It rang up at $7.98 and I told the clerk that it was 2 for $5 . She said , you have to buy 2 to get that price and I told her I didn't want it . I know it was only a difference of $3 but the point is , check the prices on your receipts or you might get ripped off . Same things go for clearance items . On occasion , they ring up regular price .

At my age , I am not waiting . The deer I have seen are at a distance . If one gets close enough I will take the shot .

Congrats on your deer and great shot . Enjoyed the story .

Apparently the "Spell Check" isn't working either !

Your "LIKES" are over Quota !

I shot a buck during ML season in 2006 . When I walked up to it , I thought it looked strange . It had an broken arrow shaft just below it's eye and I could see damage to his neck . The broadhead had a clip on it and I asked on a site what it was . It was a clip for a "string tracker" . I shot the buck 12-9-2006 . You never know what you will find in a deer so be careful .

Happy Birthday WNY Bowhunter !

I would hope it would be 2 different bucks . Get one during bow and one during gun season .

Well , back in the 60's there was a movie with Paul Neuman called The Hustler . He played "Fast Eddie" Felson who was a pool shark . One of my fellow workers called me Fast Eddie and it caught on . I retired in 1998 but guys I hadn't seen in 20 - 30 years still call me that .

I was in the Geneseo ladder stand by 6:30 . Sat there until 10:30 and got down . Only thing I saw was squirrels . Around 8:30 I started hearing metal clanging sounds coming from north of my SILs woods . Never heard any engines / motors . No idea what someone was doing . Took a slow walk across the woods and checked out an old chain on stand of mine . It's in good shape . Sat in it for a few minutes and left . My SIL didn't have the stuff she needed so I couldn't do anything with the fence charger . That was fine by me . Drove home . Gotta think of where to try next .

Here is a pic of mine . From left to right Ranging TLR75 - Wildgame HALO R500X with angle compensation and a Bushnell Yardage Pro 500 . I like the HALO best .

I will be heading back to Geneseo to do a morning hunt and help my SIL with an electric fence . It will be too warm in the afternoon . My back can only stand being in a treestand for so long of a time . I attribute it to old age .

If there was a small tree like it nearby , would that be a son of a beech ?
