I envy the fact that you were able to get out so many times . I was restricted to only be able to get out once but I got a deer . Hopefully I will be able to get out a bunch of times next season when I will be 82 .

Beware the Ides of March !

According to your profile , your birth date is Jan 1 . You can go into your profile and correct the date . Hope you had a good day anyway .

Happy Birthday to both of you . Haven't heard from NYSlowhand in a long time .

Happy New Year !

I have the MasterBuilt Elite electric and it works fine . Due to me not getting around too well I didn't use it this past summer . I put it on 3"thick patio blocks in case it rains and have a cover for it .After talking to my neighbor , I went with Electric . My neighbor was doing ribs on his propane smoker and when he went out to check , he discovered he had run out of propane and didn't know how long the flame had been out . He borrowed my electric smoker to finish up .

I am hoping to find some Powder locally .

Happy Birthday Merlot ! Have a great day ..........

I have a NEF 25-06 single shot and love it . It is my go to deer rifle . The only draw back is that the ammo is 1 1/2 times as much . My 14 year old grandson has a Savage 25-06 bolt action and shot 2 deer this season . I re-load for both of us which helps keep the ammo price down . The re-loading components I have are before all the prices went up .

I report my Meter Readings each month . Didn't like the Bogus RG&E "estimated" readings .

Anyone old enough to remember these ...... ?

Happy Birthday Wolc !

It's 8 degrees here in Ontario right now . The wind has subsided quite a bit . So glad I have a whole house generator in case anything happens .

Get that freezer filled ! Good luck .

Anyone else buy any hunting item that they thing was a Bad Purchase ?

I am using a Craftsman 125 psi air compressor . It worked okay in spots but was worthless once the air got to the open chest cavity . Any of the videos I saw , showed deer that hadn't been field dressed . Ya think that might have had something to do with it ?

As long as there is no way for the air to escape , it works fine ( neck and legs ) . With the chest cavity open , It has no resistance to the hide and can't loosen it . Notice in the video that it is done without being field dressed . A waste of money . It's just a gimmick .

I have made several Bad Purchases for hunting gear . One of the worst ones I made was the "Air Skinner" . It has several needle type devices that you carefully use with an air compressor to loosen the deer's hide for easier skinning . The video makes it look pretty easy . However , the video shows the Air Skinner being used on a deer that hasn't been field dressed . On a field dressed deer , it is pretty much worthless as the air escapes through the field dressed chest area . It works fairly well on the neck area and the legs but worthless on the rest of the deer hide . Has anyone had a good experience with an Air Skinner ? https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=yfp-t-s&ei=UTF-8&p=Air+Skinner#id=1&vid=c8a9c205bc824e5b484f2a806a560e14&action=click
