The 2 officers at the Gun Buy Back were gun experts according to the article . The woman had them hold the gun for safe keeping after they told her what is is worth .
Well , I will be heading out for Geneseo tomorrow for a morning hunt . If it looks promising , I may stay for the day . Otherwise it will just be morning and I would go back Thursday . It's all over one week from today !
Congrats on your deer .
Here is what I have been using for several years ......easier than dragging

Most of my rifles don't fit into my shoulder very well . I don't think I have average length arms . I bought a set of Choate Composite Black youth forend and stock . I will put the set on either my 223 or 25-06 first and try one of those out . Has anyone else ever done this ? I probably won't install them until after Christmas . It was a lot less expensive than cutting the stock down to size .
I know a farmer who shot a buck from a corn combine . He got a huge fine and lost his hunting privileges for 5 years . When I was a kid , I recall many farmers carrying shotguns on their tractors . Don't know if they even had licenses .........
I have enough guns , bows , hunting clothes and hunting accessories . I can't think of anything I need . No doubt I will get Gift Certificates .
I should clean out my closet and dresser and re-gift presents that I have never used .
I don't look at it for just the "cost factor" . Guns are tempermental and you can tweak the loads to satisfy each gun . I do more reloading for one of my sons than I do for myself .
I don't expect to get out until Wednesday . Not sure how many gun hunters were out the last day . Heard a few shots .
We had breakfast at Shea's Restaurant on Knickerbocker yesterday after church . I took the family and friends to the Jade Palace at 4 pm yesterday to celebrate my wife's birthday . After driving back to Ontario and getting gas , I drove up Knickerbocker Road and 2 big doe crossed the road . They were walking along the train tracks and would have been about 25 yards from where I parked at Shea's in the am . Damn deer !
The train tracks are less than 1/4 mile from route 104 .
I am only about 1 mile from the club range . I don't use it enough .
I have access to discarded real estate panels and make up target holders for the club . I get a bit frustrated when I drop a bunch off and go back in a couple days only to see where the AR guys have shot up the wooden supports . If only they could hit the panels !
I plan to use it much more this upcoming season .
I have a set of the insoles that you take out a piece of padding in each one and slide a hand warmer in there . That helps quite a bit . I also have not learned to walk slow to a stand so as not to perspire and then cool down and be cold .
I guess thin blood is better than none and better than having a stroke .
Getting old sucks but it sure beats the alternative !
