You didn't miss anything !

I made some venison chili for Super Bowl Sunday . I think I had too much . Maybe it was the corn bread ............ I don't care for either team but i'm pulling for the SeaHawks . Being a Buffalo Bills fan , I can't root for the Pats !

You may have heard on the news about a Southern California man who was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and allegedly had 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured a secret escape tunnel. By Southern California standards, someone owning 100,000 rounds is considered "mentally unstable." In Michigan, he'd be called "The last white guy still living in Detroit.” In Arizona, he'd be called "an avid gun collector." In Arkansas, he'd be called "a novice gun collector." In Utah, he'd be called "moderately well prepared," but they'd probably reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a corresponding quantity of stored food." In Kansas, he'd be "A guy down the road you would want to have for a friend.” In Montana, he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy." In Alabama, he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate." In Georgia, he'd be called "an eligible bachelor." In North Carolina, Virginia, Mississippi, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Kentucky and South Carolina he would be called "a deer hunting buddy." And in Texas he'd just be "Billy Bob, who's a little short on ammo."

If Phil sees his shadow , it means 10 more weeks of basketball !

And ..... when thugs break into your house and you call 911 , the police are only MINUTES away !

Happy Birthday Deer Thug !

My oldest son sold his compound and went to a recurve and has been fairly successful with it . Matt has a Black Widow bow as well as a couple others . The recurves cost as much as compounds . He shoots heavy single bevel blades and makes his own arrows . He makes footed shafts with the cedar and then Rosewood or some other type wood on each end of the shaft . I am pretty sure he keeps his shots down to 15 - 20 yards . The shafts in the bottom left picture have a piece of antler in the self nock .

Use a camo tarp . She will never see it .........

An article on the Moreland Commission http://gothamgazette.com/index.php/government/4647-housing-activists-hopes-for-moreland-commission-fade http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/23/nyregion/governor-andrew-cuomo-and-the-short-life-of-the-moreland-commission.html?_r=0

Yeah , the truck plus 37 guns and 28 sets of deer antlers which included 11 shoulder mounts . That was a pretty good haul and had to be a bit costly .

A friend asked me about shooting deer in Tompkins County this time of year . I knew nothing about it and did some GOOGLING . I see that they have a special season to shoot anterless deer from the 2nd Saturday in January to January 31 using Deer Management Focus Area (DFMA) permits . If the bucks lose their antlers early , they might be killing bucks also . http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/82382.html

Welcome to Hunting NY

An old carpet or a discarded mattress .

Many of the small shops get their ammo from Beikirchs so if Beikirchs can't get the ammo , they can't either .

"Dudes" - Why don't you PM each other . No one wants to read this back and forth BS which has little to do , if anything , with the original post .

Article in today's Rochester D&C states that Jackson Guns and Ammo is out of business in Henrietta . He closed his Scottsville store earlier mainly due to the ramifications of the SAFE Act . The owner plans to open a shop in North Carolina . Pro Gun in Victor will close when the owner retires as the SAFE Act has had an impact on them also . Beikirchs sales have slowed down in East Rochester but their 2 stores just across the Pennsylvania border are doing okay .

I believe you meant Squeal not sequel ............

I had to go to Honeoye Falls last night . Took Boughton Hill Road off rt 64 . Between Rt 64 and RT 65 on Boughton Hill Road , We saw over 60 deer in the fields . This was around the 5 pm time frame .

Welcome to Hunting NY

Very nice work !

My son put some Brassica and Chickory out back on his property . The deer are finishing it up . He had over a dozen deer out there last week .

Ditto !

I was rooting for Green Bay . They pee'd the game away . The whole team needs to do the "double check" !

It is now on pace to decimate records for the Martin Luther King holiday and for the month of January, pulling in roughly $105 million over the four-day period. It’s also a new high-water mark for director Clint Eastwood, whose previous weekend record was the $29.5 million wide-release opening for 2008’s Gran Torino. At 84, he’s still got it.

Just watched "Lone Survivor" on DVD . There was some brutal action in that movie . Those Seals are some tough SOB's .
