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 .

fasteddie replied to Joe Red's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
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 ?

Paula ---- check with the guys at Auto Zone . They would know . The guys at the Auto Zone in Webster won't try to sell me anything I don't need and I would hope the ones near you are just as honest .

People will come up with all sorts of BS reasons of why they won't spend $30 to fight for gun rights . If you don't want to join don't . Just don't post the BS replies . You can call the number and tell them not to call you and they won't . If I get mail from them , it just goes in the recycle bin . What's the big deal ? I -
A good friend of mine and his wife do NOT allow anyone to hunt on their property . They are not anti hunters they just won't let anyone hunt the apple farm . Neighbors on 2 sides hunt and have been given permission to retrieve deer from the farm if necessary . Anyway several of our church group were at their home yesterday for brunch . My friend showed me where the deer mowed down their Swiss Chard and I laughed . He said it wasn't funny . I told him it would be funnier if the deer came during the summer months and ate the whole damned garden and that he needs someone to come over and thin out a few of those deer . That will never happen ! He said the deer never touched the parsley and I told him no one eats parsley . He asked me a couple years ago why I never offered him any venison and I told him that I would give him some venison from the 1st deer I got from his property .

Nice pics and video . I have never used the video on any of my cameras .

I use a Lee hand held primer . I open the primer box far enough to expose 50 primers ( if that's the number of cases I plan to prime ) . I take the cover off the hand primer and hold it upside down over the primers . Then turn everything over so the hand primer is upright . The primer disk is rippled and you lightly tap the side of the primer tool and the upside down primers upright themselves . Place the cover on the tool and start priming your brass . You never touch the primers with your fingers . Note : Make sure you have the proper shell holder in the hand primer .

Sorry Paula ...... The devil made me do that !

Tractor Supply was selling hunting stuff and they have a Game Camera on clearance for about $50 . I should have checked the brand and looked to see if there were any reviews .

I don't think either is a multi use fluid so I would go with brake fluid for brakes and steering fluid for the steering . Make sure to check you turn signal fluid every couple of years .

When you work on reloads ..... no radio , no TV , no phone and no distractions . When I go to the basement to reload I tell my wife don't bother me until I come back upstairs .

I went last year and wasn't impressed . It ticks me off to spend $8 to go in and spend money . I try to hit it about every 3 years or so .

Wanted- Shooting Tripod
fasteddie replied to Uncle Nicky's topic in Hunting Items For Sale and Trade
I made a Bi-Fur pod also and have been using it for several years . Made it with a couple of 1" square 4' tomato stakes . Cost about $4 to make . However , Uncle Nicky is looking for a "tri-pod" ! Bi-Fur-Pod (Shooting Sticks) Page Make your own Bi-Fur-Pod. It is easy and should take about an hour. sticks.gif good.gifRIFLE SUPPORT.... I think I would almost rather be without ammo than without my homemade "Bi-Fur-Pod" shooting sticks. When I sight on a target while resting the rifle on my Bi-Fur-Pod, I have steady confidence that I am going to hit the target. I first put sheepskin, with the fur side out, on the area where the rifle rests and that is how it got its name. Have you ever noticed how often "fur" is mentioned around hunting camps? The sheepskin wore out and I replaced it with leather, but the name remains. My Bi-Fur-Pod is a very simple tool. It fulfills a number of functions. 1. Rifle support while taking sitting shots (main function). 2. Open it up into one long stick and it is a unipod (formerly it had a furry middle) for standing shots. In 1995, I got a nice 2x4 Mule Deer in Northern California's X3B Zone using the unipod. I used it again in 1997 for a small 2x2 Mule Deer and put one shot through the boiler room. These stories are on my Hunting Stories page. 3. As the old age creeps up on me, it makes a wonderful walking stick on the steep hillsides. 4. The top of the Bi-Fur-Pod makes a great rest for my binoculars while I am sitting and spotting for distant coyotes or that trophy buck. 5. More than once, I have pushed a rattlesnake out of the way with it. 6. It's a rifle holder in the field for keeping your rifle out of the mud . Hook your rifle sling over one fork and prop up your rifle in a "3 leg tripod" where your rifle is one leg. This is better than laying your rifle down on the dirt or wet ground. 7. Warding off Black Attack Dogs. ;-) See Below. 8. Nothing is permanently attached to your rifle. coyote20.jpg A SOLID RIFLE STAND IN THE FIELD.... Here I have my rifle supported off the ground for picture taking. This coyote was fooled with a series of fawn bleats using the diaphragm call shown. This coyote was making nightly raids on the rancher's chickens right near his house. About half a mile from his house, I used the diaphragm call, shown in the picture, to make the fawn bleats. After about 10 minutes, I saw the coyote coming downhill through the tall grass at the edge of the trees. I still had the call in my mouth and made a few soft whimpers when the coyote stopped in the trees. The coyote continued my way and when she went out of sight behind some bushes, I moved my Bi-Fur-Pod setup inline with the approach. One shot at 120 yards with the old Sako in 243 Win and right through the boiler room and it was all over. I stopped and told the farmer and he sure was happy to hear about my results! The farmer told me that he had seen the coyote stalking his grandkids in his yard and was afraid to let the kids play in the yard. ABOVE THE TALL GRASS.... With the height of the sitting position and using the Bi-Fur-Pod one gets above the tall grass in most cases. Years ago, I used to take a small tripod rifle rest that would allow me to shoot prone off the rest. It was quite steady, but now days, I can't crank my neck up that much to shoot prone. Also, the short tripod often wouldn't allow shots when the grass had grown a bit. The height of the Bi-Fur-Pod solves the tall grass problem. When in really tall brush, I use the standing position with the Bi-Fur-Pod fully extended. See the standing position below. HOW ACCURATELY CAN I SHOOT.... The Bi-Fur-Pod rest is not as steady as shooting off a benchrest with a front and rear rest. With a rifle that shoots 1/2" groups off a benchrest at 100 yards, I can shoot 1" groups from the Bi-Fur-Pod from the same distance. I have shot ground squirrels at distances over 300 yards off the Bi-Fur-Pod on numerous occasions. Making 200 yard shots on ground squirrels is easy and the 100 yard shots are a cinch. If it is possible to setup so I can lean back against a tree or fence post I can make an even steadier hold. The freedom of not having the Bi-Fur-Pod attached to the rifle also makes it possible to take running shots. Once one gets used to using the Bi-Fur-Pod, it is quite easy to track a running target. HOW TO MAKE A Bi-Fur-Pod.... The sticks are 5/8" or 3/4" square fir or other solid and strong wood, see the Table for the correct length. Round sticks do not work well at the hinge point. My height is 5' 9'' and 36" long sticks are the correct height for me. The table shows the scaled total length depending on your height. Regardless of the correct over all length, the 1/4" pivot bolt is 5-1/4" from the top end. Tighten the nut so that there is a reasonable amount of friction between the sticks and they will hold their open or closed position. You can slightly squash the nut in a vise so that the threads run tight and that will prevent it from becoming loose when you open and close the sticks. Two large nails with the heads hack sawed off are epoxied into the ends with 2" of nail exposed. If you use shorter nails, they won't stick in the ground very well and have a tendency to slide out at the worst possible time. I took an old stainless steel spoon and flattened it out, trimmed it to shape, and screwed it to one stick to make a carrying clip. When I am walking, I can carry it by sliding the clip on my belt. For a finishing touch and so you won't scratch the forearm of your rifle, epoxy leather strips on the inside of the top "V". The Bi-Fur-Pod is a lot handier for me than the Harris Bipod. I don't like the extra weight attached to my rifle for off-hand shots. Also, you can't use the Harris Bipod for functions 2, 3, 4, 5, 7. -
