It's a choice . I heard of a guy who wore his work clothes hunting and smelled like diesel fuel . He killed deer . Smelling like that was his prerogative and he scored while hunting . I don't want all that stink on me ..... be it gas , oil , bacon grease , etc ..

The Original Post looks to me like a stir the pot post . Go ahead and gas your car up on your way to your hunting spot . Nothing is stopping you so what's your problem ! My preference is to gas up the night before and if I did have to get gas in the am , I would put on a pair (or at least one) of the vinyl gloves . I dress with minimal hunting clothes on the way and have my hunting clothes in a tote or scentproof bag . Do I care if others do this ? Hell no ! For me , the less scent , the better . I used to smoke and shot deer while doing so . The deer have evolved and have gotten smarter . I stopped at Fastrack to get gas a few days ago . The damned hose leaked right where it swivels . Got gas all over my hands and on my boots . I went in and told the clerk that the hose was screwed up . Went to the john and washed my hands and could still smell the gas on them . Some hunters care about being scent free but that doesn't make them an elitist ! Take whatever stink you want to the woods when you hunt .........

We stop at different restaurants on some Saturday am's as well as on Sunday after Mass . When you walk out of the restaurants and get in the car , you can smell grease . That's why I NEVER eat at any restaurant when hunting .

Nice job .... congrats !

I am going to have to put up one of those signs at my sister in law's property .........

After mass this am , we headed for Gus's Restaurant in Williamson . Saw a couple vehicles parked on the north side of the road and commented to the wife that they must be hunters . About 150 yards farther 2 doe jumped the cement median and headed for the cat tails . I slowed down as did the car ahead of me . Another doe jumped the median , fell down and slid . She got up and ran into the cat tails also . The funny part was that they crossed close to the deer crossing sign !

I was at mine today and the roof had caved in and two of the fiberglass rods had popped out of the retainers . The blind is fastened to a platform . I went to Walmart and purchased an extendable golf ball retriever , cut off part of the round end and used it to prop up the roof after I left the blind . Hopefully , it should keep the roof up on the blind .

Well , another wasted day in Geneseo . I got to the property at 6:30 and went down to my pod blind . The roof had caved in but the sides were fine . I popped it back up and then realized the fiberglass supports on 2 corners had come out so i pulled the ceiling back down , inserted the fiberglass ends and put it back up . Had a red fox trot on the trail about 20 yards away at 9 am . . Tried doing a squeak to get him to stop for a picture but he scooted off . Heard maybe 4 shots all morning but never saw anything . Around 11:30 I headed for my car to make a trip to Walmart where I purchased a golf ball retriever that extends . Got a cup of coffee to go with my sandwich as I had made a thermos of coffee but failed to put it in the car .....dumb , dumb ! I cut off part of the round end of the golf ball retriever and headed back to the pod blind . Nothing all afternoon .... nothing on the trail cam except a couple of trespassers . Closed up the windows at 4:15 and set the golf ball retriever against the block at the roof peek to keep it from collapsing again . If it works , it was only a $13 fix . I heard 2 way off shots south of me in the afternoon . Geneseo had always been good for me for getting deer . This year it has really sucked !

Well , I got plenty of ideas and responses . I checked over various phones and got the Samsung Galaxy S5 . My wife has an I Phone and is considering getting the Samsung Galaxy S5 also . I could have gotten it free but would have had to go with a 2 year contract . Paid $49 with the EDGE plan and there is no contract to be locked into . Also paid $30 Tech Armor Glass to protect the screen . It has so much more than my little Samsung Dumb Phone .

Welcome to Hunting NY ............

I need to attach mine to a "sky hook" !

Those Catalytic heaters get hot . My gloves got wet and I placed them on my shins with the heater between my feet . One of the gloves fell off and melted . Another time I burned a spot on my brush trousers . The heater in the link I posted looks like it has a protective guard which is a great improvement .

This might do the trick . It's a Mr Buddy heater but it looks like a neat upgrade to the Coleman that I have . I think there are 3 feet that fan out on the bottom of this that makes it more stable . The one in the link is from GM and they accept some of the DICKs coupons plus there is a $10 rebate . http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Mr-Heater-Little-Buddy-Propane-Heater&i=411148&r=view&cvsfa=2586&cvsfe=2&cvsfhu=343131313438&kpid=411148&gclid=CjwKEAiA1-CjBRDOhIr_-vPDvQYSJAB48SmEQvhpU4XuXyKrL8EHh5kw8Z1hx7ifn8Ar9CehUDcYhBoCTpPw_wcB

I am looking at upgrading my phone . Some folks seem to like the Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5 over the I Phone while some like the LG phones . Opinions ?

I am wondering how my pod blind in Geneseo has fared . I will check it out Saturday ..........

That's right Permethrin http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12327289

You ask a question and after getting several state responses state , "Why do you some of you guys feel that your OPINIONS matter." If you are dissatisfied with the responses , why don't you call the DEC and get their response ? And while you are at it , tell them how stupid you think it is that having screw in steps in a tree being illegal . Then you have your answer !

If it was a "cling on" stand maybe one of those Klingons from the Star Trek series thought it was theirs .

What is a "revalver" ?

I cut fingers off of the surgical gloves , roll them up and slip one over the barrel like a condom . I have killed deer with the ML without removing the rubber . Shoot right through them . I have never had a problem with the action freezing ...... yet .

TC Contender 7-30 waters . Shot a doe with it several years ago . Havn't used it in a long time . Carried my Ruger Super RedHawk a few times but never got a shot with it .

Wow ..... a trifecta .

That's a heck of a bargain !

Happy Birthday FSW !

Thanks for the responses . In the past I could upload a card and all the pics would go to one folder in Date order . Now when I upload , they go into separate folders unless I do what I posted above . I would sometimes get over a thousand pics in a months time and they would be in one folder . More work now but it does work . I guess ya just gotta do what works for you .
