  1. Stripped down to your boxers ? Lucky for you Wooly wasn't around with his camera .
  2. Can I get my money refunded ? I have tried these with no luck at all .
  3. News Flash ..... If Hildabeast wins , adult children will be required to move out of their parent's basement . That will be done by a Presidential Proclamation . Saw it on the Internet so it has to be true !
  4. The only Slingblade I ever heard of was with Billy Bob Thornton !
  5. It was raining on the way to Geneseo .Parked my car at 5:55 am , got my hunting clothes on and headed for the blind as it was forecasted to rain at & and 10 am . Well , it didn't . I should have gone to the stand in the woods . Saw a fox , 2 doe and a fawn and that was it for the am . Left the stand at 11 and went to Geneseo Village . Had a sandwich and headed for the woods with the ATV . Was in the stand by 1:30 and sat until 6:15 . Saw 2 doe in some thick stuff way behind me . On the way up the laneway , I looked up toward my vehicle and saw a doe standing about 150 yards away and 50 feet into the cut bean field . I took a picture from the laneway then drove slow and got within 50 yards before she ran away . So much for an exciting day ! Bummer
  6. Saw 2 doe and a fawn a few minutes ago. 80 yards away along the edge of the thick area.
  7. It stopped raining around 545 and I was able to get to the blind and be dry. Saw a red fox at 830. Nothing else so far. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  8. Going to head out to Geneseo in about a half hour . Want to get there before it rains . I plan to sit in my raised Hub Blind as the forecast is for showers at 7 and at 10 am . I don't plan to make the same mistake that I made on opening day . I just hope the farmer didn't screw things up too bad the way he knocked things down . Before he went in , the Hunt Club had mowed some trails through the high grass and one trail ran 20 yards from the blind . Now it's all open .

    Rut!

    Welcome to Hunting NY ......
  10. The Bills are 4 and 2 . I hope they don't let it go to their heads and have a letdown . They had me worried in the 1st quarter as they were kind of sputtering . It used to seem like they could always find a way to give the game away . Go Bills !
  11. Congrats ! Must have taken some time to make those signs !
  12. Yupper . Enjoyed the stories and photos .
  13. Background Checks now being required at Hardware Stores
  14. 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) ..
  15. George Carlin said ,"you don't take a dump , you leave one" !
  16. 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 ..........
  17. I have a Wildgame Halo rangefinder with the angle compensation that I use for bow hunting . .
  18. I was thinking of strapping by backpack to a Golf Cart ...........j/k
  19. 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
  20. 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 .
  21. 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 !
  22. 20 yard marker with a Honeysuckle Smoke Stick .
