I remember when the gun opener used to be on a Monday . A lot of small business' thrived as guys would head to camp on a Friday night or Saturday morning and spend money in the grocery stores , restaurants , motels , etc .. The Saturday opener killed that !

Where is it ? What is it ?

I shoot for the lung / heart area . If it's a BIG buck , I might aim a bit closer to the shoulder so it cannot run (not the leg but the shoulder ) . My real preference is heart / lung . Good luck !

Check page 80 of the Regs Booklet for times ........ -
I think I am going to take my NEF 25-06 single shot .

Duh ! Yeah .... really

Looks super clean . Nice job !

The Premium non-ethanol is $2.46 per gallon . About 46 cents more per gallon than the 87 Octane . Since not that much is used , it's a good investment for small engines .

So far this season , all I could do with a Euro Mount would be a Chipmonk !

90 grains of 777 loose powder (by volume) pushing a 240 grain TC Sabot .

Pygmy ---- No big deal but the differences are in 3 minute increments . Then again Accuweather shows 7:10 am but the book (page 80) shows 6:54 plus 15 minutes = 7:09 am . I'll go with the regulations book time ..........

Sunrise will be at 7:10 for me in Geneseo Saturday .

That is the Fastrack station I am talking about . That's where I got the gas for my ATV .
-
I register my ATV and Insure it . Total cost per year ..... about $100 . For that amount , it's worth the peace of mind .

I got this guy on camera at my SILs property . Probably a couple hundred yards from her house at the creek .

I was using the Starbrite and the manager at Tractor Supply said the Sta-Bil Marine Formula was better . After comparing what each one does in their ads , It appears Starbrite looks like the better choice . However , I plan to start using the Ethanol Free gas in most of my small engines from now on .

A few years ago , when my mom was alive , she had property in Groveland . I was sitting in a stand and saw deer going through the woods over 120 yards East of me . When I was through with my morning hunt I put up a ladder stand . I sat in that stand and shot a doe later in the day . I would say move it . Just don't cut a bunch of limbs for shooting lanes .

Fastrack has the Ethanol Free gas . It's 40 cents more per gallon but worth it in the long run !

I have had enough of the Bow Season . No more hunting / sitting until Saturday . I was in a stand in Mendon by 6:15 am . Between 7:15 and 10 am , I saw 8 anterless deer and one spike . I watched 2 doe milling around for over 20 minutes about 120 -140 yards away . They were fairly close to a storage area ( trailers , large electrical boxes , etc ) . A guy was operating one of those Billy Goat Brush Cutters about 120 yards past them . The deer paid no attention to him . Thought that was funny . The wind picked up around 10:30 and I had had enough . Left !

I use the 4 wheeler and a sled . Havn't had any need for it this bow season . It would have been tough sledding if I had gotten a deer this am or down at my sister in laws in Geneseo . That's over 1/2 mile and it would be tough sledding !

I bought a 2008 Honda new the spring of 2009 . It has 34 run hours on it . I don't use it enough . No place to ride it around home .

Maybe it needs some PB .......

I was going to load my Honda Foreman ATV on the trailer last night . Couldn't get it started . Kept the battery up and cranked it a lot but no good . It backfired a couple times which isn't good . Gave up . Tried to start it when I got home today and still no good . I siphoned the gas out and replaced with Ethanol Free gas ..... nada ! Pulled some covers off and yanked the spark plug . Lots of carbon ! Cleaned the plug as best I could and re-gapped the plug . Put it back and it almost started . Scooted up to the Polaris dealer and was able to get a plug . Gapped it , (said a prayer ) put it in and voila , it started right up . I thought I was going to have to haul the Honda to Canandaigua to have it repaired . I was using 87 octane gas that has 10 percent ethanol and adding the Marine Formula Sta-Bil but think I will stick with the Ethanol Free gas from now on . Anyway , I got lucky .
