lookin' good !!!

About 5 years ago I saw a farmer being interviewed on TV . He was complaining about the overabundance of deer and the monetary loss to the farm . He said they had been losing $10000 - $15000 a year in crops . I talked to him and got a couple of permits . Got my son involved and we got more . The deer hit the fields from Mendon Ponds Park and Powder Mill Park . Initially , I had mixed feelings about shooting deer this way . The farmer told me that if I didn't want to , he could get someone else . Now we are allowed to hunt some of these fields during Bow & Gun seasons . When you shoot them in this warm weather , you have to process them real fast so the meat doesn't spoil . I have bought bags of ice sometimes to place in the body cavity to help cool the meat .

The proposed Youth Hunt might be beneficial to me . None would be hunting on the private properties that I hunt . If they are on adjacent property , they might spook the deer my way . As for the ML proposal , I guess I would put down the bow and go for the extra distance with the ML . Oh , selfish me ........... :

The plot is looking good . Nice job with the roller .

Wouldn't that be the same if I spent my money on other things , didn't have a home , asked you to use your house and if you said NO , you would be "selfish" . Samo , samo !

No doubt this would cause an uprising by landowners if the Government did something as STUPID as this . Landowners are liable if someone gets hurt on their property . And land owneres are going to be forced to let hunters that they don't want on their property ? That's just plain NUTS !

Getting old isn't great but .......... it beats the alternative !

I have removed the deck from my mower a few times . I can remove , clean and re-install in about one hour . It works for me .

Rob --- Welcome to Hunting NY !

A food plot could be a half acre to 5 acres to whatever . Deer could approach from many spots . Feeders could be 25 square feet spread . Deer go directly to them . http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/2cents.gif[/img]

I knew that but I had to be a wise guy ! I bought some string loop material from Dick's but it was limp . Bought some at Gander MT and it was a thicker cord and works great .

It's been real good so far . We had dinner at one of my daughter's last evening and are going to my son's for dinner in Honeoye Falls this afternoon . My wife bought me a Laptop Computer for Father's Day . I'll have to set it up sometime soon .

I will be 70 in September so I am going to wait unlil after my birthday to purchase my license . I already have the Lifetime Sportsman license that cost me a whopping $50 . After my birthday , the Archery and ML is FREE ..........

Why couldn't they simply hand out surveys when you buy your license ?

Uhhhhhhhhh , what's a "sloop" ? ;D

Or if she passed a NICS check to buy it She didn't "nick" them . She stabbed them ! ;D ... ;D .... ;D

I wonder if the knife was registered ! :

There is a Chinese or Vietnamize Restaurant that has been closed for some time now on Ridge Road West in Greece . Someone put a sign under the Closed sign that said "We Ran Out of Cats" .... ;D

As far as the food plots go , maybe we have evolved enough to become smarter hunters than our predecessors . My son has a food plot on his property . We hunt the trails a few hundred yards from them . I havn't hunted there in a couple years as it is too hilly . He planted Brassica and chickory . The chickery gets eaten by turkeys . Any turkeys he has killed have been with the bow .

By Jove , I think you've got it G-man ! A good assessment . Now I expect there will be more BS arguments about it ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/bad_3_wait.gif[/img]

Inner Sanctum ??? I can hear the "squeaking , creaking door" ! ???

Pull up a chair , grab some popcorn and watch the circus ...... .... Welcome aboard !

There are instances where they charge someone with murder , have a trial and do not convict . It avoids the person being charged at a later date as there cannot be a double jeopardy ..........

It's not a problem if you hunt private property . No one else will be hunting it .

Well , at least you figured it out !
