Insufficient scope adjustment..Suggestions ?
fasteddie replied to Pygmy's topic in Guns and Rifles and Discussions
I prefer the Millet Scope Rings . You can loosen one side and tighten the other to tweak the horizontal adjustment . After that tweak the adjustment on the scope . -
Well , apparently all the Taxidermists are wrong ! They call them Euro mounts and that is what they write on the receipt . A Western Mount is what the cowboys ride !

Uhhhhhhh , I think this is a Western Euro .........

I GOOGLEd Pheasant Release dates New York and it only gave me release sites . you could check these out .......... Albany County Berne - Partridge Run WMA - See maps at all informational kiosks. (YH, RS) Knox - Margaret Burke WMA - west side of County Route 254. (YH, RS) New Scotland - West side of Diamond Hill Rd. north of Clipp Rd. (RS) Call the DEC and they should have the answer

My son took his 9 year old son with him to his camp in Italy Valley . He shot an 8 pt and my grandson claimed it as "his" deer . My son had a guy in Bloomfield do the mount and my son made the plaque / mounting board and put it in Cameron's room .

Say what ???????

I forgot to add a 2 man / double stand was also a present that I got . I have several of the 15' stands but the double is so much more comfortable .

Happy Birthday Burmjohn ............ have a great day !

Definitely add serving where the string hits the suppressor . Otherwise there will be much wear on the string if left bare .

Happy Birthday Wooly !

I have the Milwaukee heated jacket also . You need to get an extra battery and they are pricey . The batteries don't last that long and the pocket hand warmer eats them up . Sorry folks .... now back to What did Santa bring you .............

I got a pretty good haul Gift cards for DICKs , Walmart , Tractor Supply and Dunkin Donuts . Some cash and a couple of checks . A book by Jim Boheim , box of hand warmers , a hoodie zip up sweartshirt with some cool logo and a Samsung Galaxy S5 smart phone with a OtterBox case (got the phone early). I started getting gift cards instead of the useless stuff that I would end up putting away in drawers .

private land in other states..wish ny would do this

You would think the TV show folks would be smart enough to do things legal . -
Shooting does = herd management

Here is the commercial

The reason I posted it in Bow Hunting as there is no plain Archery Forum . And ..... yes , it's a vertical cross bow . You can hear a bit of wind noise in the video so I guess the shooter had taken that into consideration .

Looks pretty easy

Wildgame Deal for those around field and stream
fasteddie replied to phade's topic in Trail Camera Reviews and Info
About the only thing I don't like about the WildGame Cams is how they are mounted (bungie cords) . I was able to buy some lock boxes at DICKs on a closeout to make them more secure . You need an assortment of different size bungie cords for various size trees or make an adjustable strap with "S" hooks to attach the camera to a tree . For me , the bungie cord bit is a serious design flaw . Maybe I am paranoid but I don't like to leave a Trail Camera out unless I can lock it up and I realize that isn't a full safe guard as anyone with a set of bolt cutters or saw can take the camera . -
YES .. dirty ammo . Bought American Eagle in place of the Remington crap and I believe the American Eagle is manufactured by Federal .
-
Happy Birthday Bubba !

I gave away a few boxes of Remington 22's a few years ago . It is the dirtiest ammo I have ever shot . I have no regrets on getting rid of it either !

Best Trail Camera Value
fasteddie replied to wildcat junkie's topic in Trail Camera Reviews and Info
WCJ -- I have found that after the crops are harvested , the deer change their patterns . I could get pics all summer and once the beans , etc are harvested , the deer aren't there . -
I prefer Tree Stands when bow hunting for visibility but not for gun as the leaves are gone and the cover is gone . I prefer the blind when gun hunting as my 73 year old body can get out of the cold wind , snow , etc ..

Best Trail Camera Value
fasteddie replied to wildcat junkie's topic in Trail Camera Reviews and Info
I have ------ 2 Moultrie Game Spy I-35 cams ....excellent battery life . I have left one in the same spot for 2 years and the deer pose for it ..changed batteries a few times . 4 D batteries 3 Primos Truth Cam Blackout cameras ... nice pics except not much flash distance on lengthy shots ..6 c batteries 2 WildGame AXE2 cams . Bought lockout boxes for $10 on closeout . Uses 4 C batteries ...takes single pics 1 Cheap Wildgame S1.3X .... takes single pics but does night color pics 1 Moultrie D338S ...small camera ... can set user ID onb camera for it to be used and unlock ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3 older Stealth Cams that no longer work 1 Moultrie I-40 that no longer works 3 Wildview that don't work ( gave 2 away for decoys ) 1 Primos Truth Cam 40 Ultra that works and takes decent pics but date and time is screwed . Primos customer service said there is no fix for that problem . My son had the camera for severl months before putting the camera out and noticing the problem . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So , for the most part , I am satisfied with Moultrie , Primos and WildgGame . I would stay away from Stealth Cam and WildView . I was looking at a couple of the older cameras and they use the Compact Flash Cards .. Those cards are expensive . I havn't tried Bushnell or Covert .....yet and I have never tried Cuddeback cams . -
The reason it's expensive is because it is very difficult to put condoms on those bucks .
