Sat in the 2 man chair blind from noon until 4:20 . Never saw a thing . Heard 3 shots way off in the distance in the afternoon . Either no one was hunting or else not seeing anything . Running out of time .

Maybe they had a Death Wish !

Trying to be pro-active and purchased another 7 cu ft freezer the other day at Lowes . It was delivered this morning . Now all I need is a deer to put in it ! Will be coming home after 8:30 Mass tomorrow , change clothes and head for Geneseo . I have had great luck on that property over the years but the last 2 years havn't been good at all . I'm making a big sacrifice as my team plays at 4:05 and I will miss the 1st half . That's what recorders are for ........

I have had them come back for more pics with a Red Flash . Same with the Black Flash . I wonder if it's the noise that they are curious about ........

A few of the members swear by the Covert Cameras and think they are the greatest . Black Flash is supposed to be the thing now .

And sometimes you just have to be Lucky ...........

I have some old Wild View cameras ..... they are junk Two Stealth cams that no longer work ...... A Moultrie I-40 camera that won't work . I sent an e-mail to Moultrie and never heard from them . I have 3 of the Primos Blackouts ... they work well , a Truth Cam ultra that works fair , a Moultrie GameSpy I-35 that woks great , a Moultrie D338s that I havn't used yet and a couple others . Except for the I-40 camera , the moultries have been the best .

I was going to set a camera out to see if I could get a pic of tresspassers but it wouldn't be too smart with the snow on the ground . They would see my prints .

Vince are you hunting somewhere there isn't snow on the ground ?

The deer still aren't cooperating ! Was at my blind in Geneseo this am . Had to knock off a lot of snow and reinforce the tie downs . Sat until almost 11 am and never saw a thing . Starting around 9 am I heard a single shot and 3 minutes later another . This went on for at least 10 shots . I wonder if someone was sighting in their gun . Took a walk to the pond field and back . Saw some human tracks where someone had come onto the property right where the posted signs were placed . Saw another spot where some tresspasser had come onto the property and walked around . They were probably hunting the property while my SIL came to our house for Thanksgiving Dinner . Got up to my car around 1 pm and had worked up a sweat . I was going to go back out but figured with the damp clothes with sweat , I would get the chills and left for the day . I thought there would be several hunters out today but if there was , I didn't see any and other than the goofy shooting , I only heard 3 distant shots .

Looks like you are having a great season . Congrats !

Nice rack on that six ! Congrats to your buddy .

My SIL has Muck Boots that she wears in the winter taking care of her horses . She says they are quite warm but starting to leak but then she has had them for years . Anyway , Tractor Supply has some Muck Boots on sale now for $70 that are regularly $100 . 5 mm of Neoprene for comfort and warmth and a mesh lining to reduce moisture . On sale Nov 27 - Dec 1 .

I have a pair of Itasca camo rubber boots with 400 gr of Thinsolate . My feet freeze in those things but they are comfortable in warmer weather . They are starting to crack . I also have a pair of waterproof , insulated Rocky boots that ARE NOT WATERPROOF ! My wife bought me a pair of LaCrosse hunting boots at Galyans in Henrietta several years ago . They are insulated and have a thick Thinsolate liner . I call them my "Herman Munster" boots as they are thick and clumsy but they are warm . They are the warmest boots I have . I have walked through 6" of water and they have been fine ( knock on wood ) .

What about the guys that lurk on a site , get a deer , post pictures , get a lot of congrats , make 3 - 4 posts and never post again . Losers !

Have a great day

Great news !

I chickened out on tomorrow . Went out for dinner earlier and it was nasty , windy with grainy snow flurries and tomorrow is supposed to be worse . Friday will be cold 20 degrees but the wind is forecasted to be 2 - 3 mph . I think the deer will wait another day .

Just checked the Geneseo weather on Accu-weather for tomorrow . 7 am --- 20 degrees with a real feel of 2 degrees 9 am --- 21 with a a real feel of 3 11 am-- 25 with a real feel of 9 snow flurries forecasted Gotta get my trailer unburried Sounds like a good day to stay in bed but ........ can't get a deer from the house !

Dilemma ---- We have about 20 people coming for dinner tomorrow . A lot of stuff to get ready for a big Thanksgiving dinner . I feel guilty when going hunting and leaving the wife holding the bag but I would expect there would be many hunters out there pushing the deer and it should be a good day to be out there . We aren't going to eat until about 4 pm but folks will be showing up around 1 pm . Well I still have a few hours to make up my mind . Saturday should be another good day to be out out there . Trying to be pro active and going to Lowes to buy another 7 cu ft freezer . I would have purchased a 14 cu ft but it wouldn't fit through the doorway and I am not about to tear the doorway apart to make it fit . .

Grow -- We got the heavy wet crap here in Ontario . I used the snow blower and went slow . Got the top stuff but underneath it was slush and had to shovel that stuff . It was a good workout for this old guy and I worked up a pretty good sweat . Looks like those trees in you pic age growing sideways !

Happy Birthday !

I went to Customer Service at the Home Depot in Victor when I was down there today . Their Customer Service told me my card was no good there either . I asked how I could be a Military Veteran in Wayne County but not there . She said it doesn't say anything on my card abould a military affiliation and I said it says right here , US Marines . WTF . Home Depot can kiss my ass ! On the other hand , Lowes has no problem with the card . As for Walmart . I love the store but I agree the one on Hudson Ave sucks . Almost no hunting stuff and the checkouts are slow . The Geneseo Wal-Mart is real good . The Harbor Freight in Irondequoit is much better than the Henrietta as far as I am concerned . I have a crapload of 25' tape measures .

The ones I catch are advertising some crap that has nothing to do with hunting . It's people looking to advertise .......

Sat in my blind in Walworth for 3 hours this afternoon . Didn't see anything . My SIL had to call and tell me that she heard quite a bit of shooting on Lima Road in Geneseo this afternoon . Spoiled my rotten day !
