I keep an eye on the Sox on Yahoo and when I am out use the phone and check the SCORE ap .

It's just like some ammo ..... if it is sold at a rediculously low price , they run out . What would you expect ! WalMart doesn't manufacture the product and can't make it magically appear . Some buyers are hoarding the product and have more than they could ever use in a lifetime .

View from Pittsford - Mendon Stand
fasteddie replied to fasteddie's topic in Hunting Related Pictures
We used to be able to put ladder stands in the area where that big tree is in the top picture . The land owner died and his son is in charge of the property . The son is a non hunter and a real a-hole . We had to take down our stands . The fields don't belong to him and we have Crop Damage Permits to shoot there . I took 2 doe so far this year with the 25-06 . Farthest shot was only 125 yards . The stand I am in is about 18' high and belongs to another hunter . We use the stand during bow saeson and leave the area to the stand owner for gun season . His daughter and wife sometimes hunt with him . Our agreement works for both of us . -
Rooting for the Red Sox . I used to be an Orioles fan when they were the parent team for the Red Wings . Then switched to the Twins when they took over . Couldn't stand the pain and went to the Red Sox 4 or 5 years ago . The Twins are 35.5 games out of 1st place in their division and the worst in the American League . It's tough enough rooting for the Bills in the NFL so I didn't need the pain of the Twins . Go Red Sox !

On a more serious manly question - fireplace question

You should hire a "good Lawyer" and do something about having paid for bad service ! -
I have a WildGame Halo range finder that has the angle compensation . I have enough stands that I lose rememberance of distances I have ranged in the past so I do a recheck on trees , etc . Sometimes when things are slow and I get bored , I pull out the range finder . I try to visualize something 10 yards away and the double the distance then imagine another five for a 25 yard shot . I pick up the range finder to see how close my estimation was . A person ina a tree stand can get pretty good at this . I am not a golfer , but it seems fairly good golfers are good at estimating distances ..

Well , that explains why I can't find the trail to my stand !

Trailer recommendation
fasteddie replied to crappyice's topic in ATV's , UTV's, Dirtbikes & Snowmobiles
Tractor Supply has trailers with pressure treated floors . I wouldn't suggest buying one with the steel mesh flooring as I have seen many that are rusted out . Also , if you plan on using to quite a bit , don't get one with small tires . I have 2 trailers and one has 5.30 X 12 tires and they wear out fast . -
What I sometimes do is take one of the plastic holders that the lawn service people put out to show that pesticides have been used . Toss the warning card and spray the plastic piece with scent remover . Spray the round top if you wish to make it easy to spot .. You can place a scent wick in the top and pour or spray some scent on it . This can be used as a yardage marker or even a scent wick holder .

Have the limbs been inspected for cracks , etc ?

One way or the other the meat has to get processed
fasteddie replied to Rockspek's topic in Deer Processing
My wife bought a knife set for me a few years ago and one of my sons also gave me a knife set . I bought a wusthof dreiz werk filet knife on EBAY and a Dexter 6" filet knife from Pagliusso's Meat Market in Ontario so I have plenty of cutlery for processing . -
Has anyone used a new item and feel it is helpful?
fasteddie replied to ApexerER's topic in General Hunting
A few years ago I purcased a Gerber Metolius E-Z open knife . It has a tiny ball on the end so you cant't puncture the guts . Make a small incision at the base of the chest , insert the E-Z open and cut down to the crotch like a zipper . I didn't necessarily need it , Just thought it was a cool knife and I use it a lot . Bought a 2nd one on Closeout at DICKs that I will be giving to one of my sons . -

fasteddie replied to Rockspek's topic in Deer Processing
I shot 2 deer so far with the nuisance permits this month . Don't think I will get out again . I let my son who also has permits do the butcher work . I have never noticed any taste difference . -

fasteddie replied to Rockspek's topic in Deer Processing
Oh yeah , try this for a cutting board . Most kitchen counter installers cut the hole in the counter for a sink . This is an ideal piece for a cutting board . If someone is remodeling a kitchen and replacing the counter , you might be able to get a larger piece of counter top . -

fasteddie replied to Rockspek's topic in Deer Processing
Processing your own deer is gratifying . You need to invest in some equipment but it's like buying reloading equipment , once you have it , you're good to go . Most processors tag your deer but do a lot of cutting , grinding and packaging in bulk . You are never guaranteed in getting "your deer" back . Git 'r done ! -

Obama is busy burning fuel in Air Force One campaigning for Hildabeast ...... Either that of having lunch withAl Sharpton and the BLM leaders . -
Beards ? Do you grow one for hunting season ?
fasteddie replied to turkeyfeathers's topic in General Chit Chat
I have only ever grown a beard once during hunting season . Couldn't wait to shave it off . Never liked the feel of a beard . -
I believe you can do this with no problem . At the rifle range , each distance was shooting 10 rounds . 2 rounds were loaded with a Clip and then the other Clip with 8 rounds was inserted after the 1st 2 were shot .

I think the worst pain I have ever felt is when the urologist pulled the Stent out . I will be having another one inserted when they do the blasting . The stent removal reminded me of the "T - Handle" cars I used to buy for my boys . Stubby 68 - You are my new hero ! You have been through a hell of a lot !

I didn't mean to mislead anyone with the post . This is only temporary . The tetanus shot has caused the pain and it should go away in a few days . I normally sleep on my right side but can't at it puts pressure on the shoulder . With the expectation of the pain going away and the kidney stone getting busted up with sound waves , I am hoping to be in shape by October 1st . Normally I have a pretty high pain threshold . I will just have to stay optimistic . In the USMC boot camp , they gave it what was called a 3 step shot . After the shot by the time you took the 3rd step It felt like you had 50 pound lead weight in your hand and your arm just dropped . Does anyone remember getting shots with compressed air ? We got them a couple years later in the Corps .

I had a follow up doctor appointment Monday . After checking my records he asked if I wanted to get the annual Flu Shot and said I hadn't had a Tetanus shot in 10 years so I said let's do it . I got the Tetanus shot in my right arm . I didn't feel anything until I went to bed Monday night . I can still feel some pain in my right shoulder but shot 30 arrows last nigh and 20 from my stand this afternoon . I don't remember any shot bothering me this much except for the 3 stepper they gave us at Boot Camp . Getting old sucks but it beats the alternative !

How do you draw your bow when shooting from an elevated position ? I draw my bow straight out , align the peep with the pin , bend at the waist and get on target . It's probably extra movement but it works for me .

One of my daughters gave me a can of that for my birthday a few years ago . She said she bought it at Wegmans .
