  1. Get a good reloading book like Lyman's and read it before making the jump . I started reloading a few years ago . Started out with 223 and 7-30 waters . Then went to 25-06 , 270 , 44 mag and 357 . I bought some reloading equipment cheap back when the "Swap Sheet" was around then added to it as it became necessary . Once you have the tools , you add the components and git 'r done . You can tweak your loads for the gun you plan to shoot with . If you can get the components you need , you will find yourself shooting more Once you start reloading , do it without any outside interference ( no TV , no Radio , no Phone ) so as not to be disturbed . If you don't want to do all this , buy your ammo .
  2. All the crying and whining I have done this season about no deer being close or not getting a shot was blown this am . I drove to Pittsford and used my youngest son's stand .At 7:15 I spotted a doe behind me . She was downwind from me and traveled through the trees rather quickly . There was a second doe behind her walking slower . When she hit the opening , I drew and released my arrow and thought I had hit her . She moved off and just stood there . The 1st doe came back to her and they hauled butt . I waited 1/2 hour , got down and looked for my arrow . It was stuck in the ground . Mothing on it but dirt . A complete miss ! The stand is a 15' stand and another 5' higher than the ground I was shooting at so about 20' up and a 33 degree angle at an actual 12 yards . Should have been a chip shot ! Did I drop my bow arm ? Did I not bend at the waste ? I don't know . It was instantanious ..... I shot a couple practice arrows and noticed that the arrow jumped off the rest and next to the riser . It's a Trophy Ridge drop away and I wonder if the steep angle causes that . Didn't have any problems when I was practicing in the back yard this summer . Anyway , I am quite disappointed with myself !!!
  3. I bought a nice boning knife at Joe's Meat Market and it was inexpensive .
  4. I am using Firefox and everything above where I am typing is faded out . Cannot click onto anything .
  5. Same here ... can't change font , size , color or anything !
  6. Joe's Meat Market ---6845 North Slocum Road in Ontario NY ...315-524-8252 I have been doing my own for several years now . There is a place on Haley Road Walworth / Ontario area but I would never go there again . Also another guy that butchers deer on Walworth - Palmyra Road in the village of Walworth just South of the 4 corners .
  7. Now , that's funny ! And , what about the Braile on the keypad at the Drive Thru ATM !
  8. Now , that's funny ! What about the Braile on the keypad at the drive-up ATM !
  9. Went to Geneseo this am for an afternoon hunt . On the way I stopped in Webster to get some of the left over tags ( like I need them ) ..... Got 2 for 8F as there was a limited supply left for any 8 areas . When I got to the property I repaired my SILs treestand as a couple of the pressure treated 2X4's needed replacing . I then cleared a couple of spots for a possible placement of Ground Blinds . A couple hours later I headed for a ladder stand that's about 500 yards North of the stand I repaired in the am . Sat there until 5 pm and I saw were 4 doe and 1 buck way across the neighbor's property . Nothing came out until 4:30 . It was cold and I was thinking there has to be a fine line between sitting 15' up in a tree with a bow freezing your butt off and being nuts !
  10. Cold winters will be hard on the fawns so you might just as well put their mama in the freezer !
  11. Sometimes another doe will tend to a motherless fawn .
  12. The Glitch was caused by Obama's Insurance sign up crash ! j/k
  13. Shoot the doe . The fawns will be fine . They are gonna get booted out of the nest pretty soon anyway !
  14. IP address' are different and from different Internet Locations / Suppliers ......
  15. Okay , now I am confused ..... where can you shoot deer Nov 2 in New York State ? What's the catch ?
  16. Duh ! Another exciting day . I headed for Walworth this am and it was raining . When I got to the property it was still raining . It would let up and then start again . Waited for a while and when it stopped , I pulled my car into my friend's pole barn and put on my hunting clothes . Walked out to my blind and sat until around 10:15 . Never saw a thing . There were duck hunters north of me and I heard 3 close shots across the swamp where no one should have been . I thought the duck hunters might force some deer onto the property I was on but that didn't happen . Bummer !
  17. Clearly stated but I don't agree . There are a lot of stupid parents out there and little Billie-Bob doesn't need a gun in his hands !
  18. Not sure but if it is State Land , I would check with the DEC to find out if someone has posted land that shouldn't be posted .
