I bought the Redfield Revenge scope today with gift cards and a coupon and plan to mount it tomorrow or Sunday .

I have pictures of my last colonoscopy . I can post them if anyone wants to see a pretty and clean colon .

Ditto !

In 1/11/13 Rochester D&C Lighten up on new laws, please If you see Kris Kristofferson around, please tell him thanks for writing the line “freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose” in his song “Me and Bobby McGee.” That thought is sage and very appropriate for America in the year 2013. In California, Gov. Jerry Brown has signed into law an astounding 876 new mandates. They all took effect last week. Now, in the Golden State, you can­not do the following: » Hunt a bear using trained dogs. Untrained canines are OK, I guess. And how would the authorities be able to tell? Would the dog have to take a test in the forest? » Sit in an off-road vehicle without being in a seat. You can’t sit on the floor or on the roof. Do off-road vehicles even have roofs? I don’t know. » Use a boat in a “freshwater body” without paying a separate fee. The pur­pose of the fee is to raise money to con­trol the influx of “invasive mussels.” I thought that was a 1950s monster movie. » Drive a party bus without a special license. Can’t wait to see that test. “Do you know the words to ‘Celebration’ by Kool and the Gang?” The list of new laws is almost end­less, and it is clear that Brown and the California legislature have been very busy thinking up ways to control every aspect of people’s lives. And that is what’s basically happening throughout this country. Politicians, some of them well-meaning, are trying to legislate ev­erything. New York’s Mayor Michael Bloom­berg doesn’t want us to be chubby, so he’s trying to ban soft drinks in large cups. The more laws that governments pass the less individual freedom there is. We Americans need to stop this nan­ny state stuff. Reasonable protections are fine. It should be a crime to text while driving. Here’s my pitch to Brown and other elected officials: Relax. The bears will be fine. The mussels will invade no mat­ter what you do. The parking meter deal isn’t important. OK?

You don't want to sit on a toilet seat in a football stadium . A lot of guys are too lazy or too stupid to put the seat up when they take a leak and pee all over it . Tailgating might be a big part of that problem .

Well , i'll be darned . I read where Redfield was welcomed back in the States and were owned by Leopold & Stevens . From what I could see after your post is they are apparently manufactured in the Phillipines . Anyway , they have excellent clarity and easy to adjust the view . I liked the Redfield Revenge better than any other scope I had looked at . http://redfield.com/redfield-revenge/

Anyone have one ? Opinions ? Redfield is owned by Leopold and manufactured in the USA .

Took the plunge today and bought the Savage 220 with black stock . Picked up the scope rail and some new blue loc-tite . The shop didn't have the scope mounts that were recommended so I went to the Walworth Custom Gun Shop and talked to Dave . The recommended mounts were Weaver style Leopold Mounts ( $40 ). Dave showed me the Weaver mounts . I asked what the difference was and he replied " about $25 " . I havn't bought a scope yet but I figured it would be a 40 or 42 mm objective . I have looked at Burris , Leopold , Nikon , Bushnell , Weaver and Redfield . I like the Redfield Revenge the best of any of the scopes . Redfield is owned by Leopold .

I know the deer will change their routes when the crops start growing but it's fun to get out there and see them and where they have been traveling . I just don't care to go through the deep snow . I guess I will have to give the snowshoes a try .

That is sooo funny !

My wife had a tendon repair in her foot last year . We rented a "knee scooter" for her to use . It had an adjustable knee platform , brakes and it steered with a handle . It was much better than crutches for her to get around on . Just a thought .

They used to suggest hanging bars of soap . Don't know if it works or not .

Tractor Supply has had their batteries on sale for the past month . If you need any 9 volt batteries for the smoke detector , etc , they were put on clearance --- 4 for $2.50 .... can't beat that .

The Light / Battery to make a lighted nock weighs a measley 11 grains .........

G&R ---Sorry you got your panties in a Knot about the "jail time" . Apparently either you didn't see the smiley face or lack a sense of humor . As for keeping deer out of the plants , the Coyote Pee I mentioned works . I thought you were looking for a solution of keeping the deer away . Apparently I was wrong !

I am hoping that it will be Broncos and Packers with Green Bay winning ..........

The guy found the phone and didn't turn it in to anyone . Pretty close to stealing . I found a phone , did a lookup on it and saw that it was Verizon and turned it in at a Verizon Store .

I think it's a pretty neat idea but I don't think I would want to hunt with those . Seems like they had some sort of explosive heads on arrows that were legal down south ( Alabama or louisiana ) about 15 - 20 years ago .

For about $3 , you can make your own . It's not that difficult . Even us old folks can do it .

Go ahead and feed them . You will probably still be able to post here from your Jail cell . Some of the farm market stores sell Coyote Pee > I bought a bottle at Aman's Farm Market in Irondequoit a few years ago . An 8 oz bottle cost me $8 . It worked . I shared it with another person as I wasn't sure how long it would last . Hang a few cloths on some plants and every 3 - 4 days put some of the coyote pee on the cloths . Tampons actually work better but could be considered unsightly .

I signed up for another 5 years a last February for $100 . I recently got a e-mail Newsletter from the NRA with an opportunity to join for 5 years at a price of $125 . It was a general newsletter so they weren't coming to me for more money .

I went to Geneseo to get mt Outhouse Blind and took a trail camera along . I was surprised to see so many tracks all over the place . The deer were hiding during the season but know they are safe now . I only saw one deer while trudging through the crispy , crusty snow . Any deer had to hear me coming from a long ways off . All the tracks were quite impressive . Also saw several spots where deer had bedded .

I have known this couple for at least 30 years and there is no way they will change . If it wasn't illegal to feed deer , I would like to place a trail of corn to their garden !

Uhhhhhh , did it make you brake any faster ?

Ever think of putting a chain-on on one of those boat masts ?
