I put one of my Primos Black Flash cameras in the back yard to test it . I was getting some crappy pics and thought it might be the glare from the snow messing things up . . I took it off of the post and brought it in the house . Took a good look at the lens and it looked like some cotton inside the cam . Took the 12 screws off the back ( found out I only needed to remove the top 6 ) and discovered where ants or something had left a small mess . Put some Windex on a q-tip and cleaned the plastic lens cover and lens . Placed the camera in one of the windows to re-test it . If that works , it was rather a simple fix . A couple old cameras that I took apart were a pain to put back together due to rubber seals , etc ..

I have never had a problem getting a Regs Booklet from the Town Clerk's Office .

Now there's a smart guy !

I was shooting woodchucks for a farmer a few years ago . He told me to shoot ant feral cats that I saw . I wasn't about to assume that any cat I saw was feral and that it could be someone's pet so I left the cats alone .

Having a Barred Owl help reduce the varmint chickens is a pretty neat idea !

Best "Gun" Movie (Not a War Movie)
fasteddie replied to wildcat junkie's topic in Guns and Rifles and Discussions
I don't know enough about vintage guns but " Death Hunt " was a great movie . The setting was the Yucon Territory in 1931 . I don't think Charles Bronson ever made a bad movie . -
Most of the reviews I saw on this camera were 5 stars . Didn't see anything about it taking multiple pictures . One complaint was unless something was within 20 feet at night it didn't show anything as claimed by the 55 foot feature it is supposed to have . The cheapie Wildgame I have doesn't shot the temperature .........so I don't know if it didn't trigger because of the freezing temps .

Is it necessary for you to try to turn everything into something Political ? Get a life !

Range Finder question
fasteddie replied to virgil's topic in Hunting Gear Reviews and Gear Discussions
I use the incline setting on my Halo . Makes little sense not to use it if it's available . The Halo is small and compact . I range a few spots and just keep it handy on a hook in the tree stand . -
Jason -- That is the only picture of a Yote that I ever got on camera . I shot a young coyote on Lewis Road in Walworth a few years ago . Several folks in that area claim to hear the yotes howl at night . The pic that I posted was taken on County line road just north of Atlantic . The sad part is ..... I had the camera there toward the end of December and only 11 pics of which 2 were me approaching the camera . Not much activity for that length of time . The pic with the deer ....it must have been within a couple feet of the camera .

I'm not a left hander but I support the belief that Lefties have Rights also !

I have 2 cameras in Geneseo and would have to trudge 1/2 mile through deep snow so they can wait . I need to do a repair on my snowshoes so I can use them .
-
With the deep snow it took well over an hour to do what would normally take less than 15 minutes . Almost had to pull my knees up to my chin to get through the snow . Batteries were still good even though the camera was put out in late December . Not much activity but had a Yote on the cam . Pictures are from an inexpensive WildGame camera . The only thing I don't like about it is they only take single pictures !

I was wondering how you would park 3 chemicals !

Last season I made a mistake with the foot warmers . My feet get cold quick when I am just sitting . So , in all my brilliance I put toe warmers on before leaving the house . I also put hand warmers in my insoles figuring my feet should stay warm . It worked fairly well . The next day one of my toes bothered me but I didn't think much of it . The second day I checked out the bottom of the toe and removed a circular piece of skin from the bottom of a toe about 1/4 inch in diameter . It was painful for a few days and finally healed . I think I may have burned a toe with the warmers , got a blister and it broke . Gotta be careful with those things .

My youngest son can't take the cold and bought a pair of these . He said they aren't that good and don't stay warm for long . I tried a pair of battery operated socks many years ago and they didn't work worth a darn .

I used to hang out at the Silver Lake Drive-in and the skating rink ......... We used to camp in Letchworth when the kids were small . We stayed at a cottage near Portageville with 4 other couples one winter . Deer came near the cabin at night . The park is awesome !
-
I was able to purchase some insoles a few years ago that have a slot that holds the Hand Warmers . They have a slot in the toe area that has a styrofoam insert that can be remove to a hand warmer can go in that spot . During warm weather the foam piece can be put in it's place .

I buy the Hot Hands brand at BJs Wholesale and they work pretty good . 40 pair plus 4 pair of toe warmers for $40 ' My sister in law gave me a box of Little Hotties ( 10 pair ) . They didn't last as long as the Hot Hands . My wife gave me a pair or re-usable hand warmers . You have to snap / pop a clip and it starts a reaction that starts them warming . As they cool off they stiffen . To recharge them , you drop them in boiling water or put them in a microwave and the stuff inside returns to a liquid state . They work pretty good but I forget that I have them . Years ago ( many years ago ) I had a hand warmer that operated on lighter fluid . That baby would get hot and smelled of the fluid but I shot several deer while using it . I think it was a Zippo brand .

Buying ammo in Vermont
fasteddie replied to grampy's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
I have only been asked my birth date and nothing else . No problem at DICKs . -
My wife bought a NuWave oven cooker a couple years ago when our microwave crapped out on us . She loves the thing . I have never used it .

Instead of complaining about too much political stuff and not enough hunting topics , feel free to start a hunting , fishing , trapping , etc topic .
