I move over into the passing lane to let people merge but if there is someone to my left of a car closing up on me in the left lane , I shouldn't have to brake to let some ding dong want to push me over .

It won't work on your Farmall Tractor .............

I would love to have the opportunity to take a doe . I wouldn't give it a second thought !

Whine for today ----- A-holes who don't know the proper way to merge into traffic . Traffic coming onto the main highway from an on-ramp are supposed to yield to that traffic . Too many drivers expect the vehicle in the flowing traffic to brake so they can pull in ahead instead of behind . I'd like to have a Tank that would do 80 mph and take care of some of these comatose drivers ! I can't move over a lane because another car is there so I have to brake but there is no traffic behind me for a 1/2 mile .

Got to Geneseo just before 6:30 . Got my gear out and pulled the sled out of my trailer that I had left there . Put the 2 man chair blind on it and started out as I had about a 3/4 mile hike and had to cross the creek . I got through 2 pasture lots , the creek , and was heading down the lane way . I was about 500 yards from where I was going to set up when I saw a doe about 150 yards away ( 7 am ) she watched for a few seconds as I approached and left . Another doe stepped into the lane way at the same spot and did the same thing . I thought that it was going to be a great day . I set up overlooking to mowed horse trails where the deer normally come out of the thick stuff . It was cold and I should have walked slower so as not to work up a sweat . Around 10 am the sun showed up and it started to take the chill off . I got out of the blind at 11:30 and walked around a bit . Didn't do too much as the snow was still crunchy . Pulled the camera I had in the pond field . Moved the chair blind and put in on the bank of the pond . This gave me an elevated look . The pond has all sorts of brush around it so the blind didn't stick out like a sore thumb . Nothing ! Left at 3:30 and headed back up . Pulled card from 2 other cameras . The only plus I had was there wasn't anyone walking around with flashlights ! Helped my SIL with a couple jobs and went to Wal-Mart and Tractor Supply . On the way home heading East on Rt 5 & 20 , I saw at least 6 deer feeding in a cut corn field about 1/2 mile east of Wal-Mart . Damn !

Confusing post to say the least !

I wonder .............

Heading for Geneseo again tomorrow am . Taking the 2 man chair blind and going to try hunting the thick stuff . It's about 1 3/4 mile walk so if I get lucky , it will be a long drag . I have my trailer at the property but my ATV is out back . Oops ! I will be bringing the trailer back with me . While doing some walking , I found where I can place a stand next year but a lot of trimming has to be done . Re-evaluating the past 2 seasons , I need to find a different property / properties . The Geneseo property has been good to me over the years but not the past two .

Good luck ..... Follow the doctor's orders !

I have seen deer in the village of Webster also . Saw a nice buck near Webster Ponds standing in the road . Used to see deer by Xerox north of Orchard St between Phillips and Rt 250 . They know where they are safe !

I caught the 782 year old hunter too .......... I bought one of the Neoprene face masks that keep the face warm but I get claustrophobic and can't stand to wear it . I take coumadin ( blood thinner ) and cannot take the cold like I used to . I sometimes take a sleeping bag with me , put it around my shoulders and pull the ends together . That way I can stay out for a much longer time . Like Belo said , a blind with a heater . Dicks sells a Coleman Catalytic heater for $25 that use the 2# propane bottle . They are great in 20 degree weather .

Happy Birthday --- Have a Great Day !

Congrats on your deer !

Saw a dead doe on Rt 104 just west of Salt Road in Webster . Don't the deer know they are supposed to be in the woods !

I would love to have your problem !

Here ya go

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 .
