Irondiquoit had a deer problem and the town was paying off duty cops to do "Bait 'n Shoots" . It was costing them a lot of money . They went to letting archers who had to be certified do a controlled shoot and it has been working well for the town . Plus , they don't have to buy donuts for the archers ! :

If it's a populated area , they should at least open it up to a controlled archery cull .....

In 1998 I had to wait 16 weeks for my pistol permit . I was told that most of the wait was where the p/w sat in a pile on a judge's desk until there was enough for him to bother with . ???

They had someone come in with a dozer and start moving dirt . The guy did a great job and it is starting to shape up . Several trucks were hauling today and dumping loads . I guess when you get free fill , you have to put up with some conveniences .............

Git 'r done Doc !

The "Update" post didn't look like anything new ..........

That is a great site . Thanks for posting !

Someone should have told this woman thet the frogs will eventually "croak" ! I know of folks that had homes built in Williamson near Spencer Speedway . They have the gall to complain about the noise coming from the track . Why did they build near a race track ? Duh !!!!

When Bow Season opens , he will go into Stealth Mode !

I have some old aluminum arrows in my basement ---free to anyone that wants to stop by in Ontario and pick them up . They need to be re-fletched XX78 2219 (4) 30" Easton Game Getters 2117 (3) 30 1/2" Camo Magnum 2117 (2) 28 1/4" Easton XX75 2413 (1) 28 1/2" The 2413 looks like a log ! ;D

Nice pics Johnny . But ........ ya gotta get those subjects to pose in the center of the frame ! :

Dragon Fly facts and Myths [*] A bee flaps its wings about 300 times per second, but a dragonfly flaps its wings at only about 30 beats per second. (fact, dragonflies have two sets of wings so they don’t have to beat them as much to fly.) [*] A dragonfly is a very strong and good flyer, and can fly at speeds of up to 36 miles per hour. (fact, but not all dragonflies are that fast – one was clocked at this speed in Australia) [*] Dragonflies are known as snake doctors because they can bring dead snakes back to life. (myth) [*] There were huge dinosaur dragonflies that lived 300 million years ago. (fact – the largest fossil found had a 2 ½ foot wingspan, and currently there are dragonflies in Costa Rica that measure 7 ½ inches across the wings.) [*] Dragonflies have huge stingers and some people are allergic to their stings and can die. (myth – the thing that looks like a stinger on a dragonfly is actually called a clasper and the male dragonfly uses it to hold onto the female when they are mating.) [*] There are about 5,000 different species of dragonflies all over the world except in Antarctica. 450 of the species can be found in the United States and about 80 species in British Columbia. (fact, most of the 5,000 species are found in remote, tropical areas.) [*] A dragonfly’s eyes have about 30,000 lenses and a dragonfly can see all the way around it, but they don’t see details very well. (fact, a human eye only has one lens and sees better than a dragonfly, but only to the front and side of them.) [*] From the time a dragonfly egg hatches, it can live anywhere from six months to six years, but only about two months as an actual dragonfly. (fact, most of the time spent is as a nymph in the water before the dragonfly’s metamorphosis into a full grown dragonfly.) [*] In the old days, dragonflies would seek out bad kids and sew their mouths together with their claspers while they slept. Dragonflies were known as the devil’s darning needles. (myth – dragonflies don’t have pockets to carry the thread to the beds of sleeping wicked children.) [*] A dragonfly’s scientific name is Odonta, which comes from the words “tooth-jawed” because the entomologist (insect scientist), Johann Christian Fabricius, who named them studied the dragonflies’ mouths in order to distinguish the different species. Now their wings are studied as well to classify dragonflies. (fact – other names for dragonflies around the world are water dipper in England, old glassy in China, and the ancient Celts called dragonflies big needle of wings.)

Sheesh , where is Rodney king , when we need him ! ... ... ...

If only it would work !

Either they are great pics or......... hallucinations from your quitting smoking !

Thanks for the heads up ......

I used to think that the State workers picked them up but found out that individual contractors did just that . The state delayed payments to the contractors a couple years ago and they held off on the pickups . I believe they wait until there are enough in a general area to do the cleanup now .

I found myself reaching for a cigarette from my pocket months after I quit . I didn't have any cigs in my pocket ----- It was HABIT ! Good luck !!!

My sister in law's neighbor has a horse trailer set up in his lower pasture lot and has taken several deer from there . He has a heater and refers to it as his "condo" .

That was one dumb woodchuck . Those lighted nocks really show up !

Uhhhhhh , it must be legal . The Nuge has one and we all know that everything he does is legal ! :

Here's something to think about. I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I will be 70 in September) A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?' He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor? 'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!' Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs? I said, 'Not much... my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!' 'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, hunting, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?' 'No, I don't,' I said. He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have lots of sex?' 'No,' I said... He looked at me and said,.. 'Then, why do you even give a damn ?'

I am a member of the Ontario Rod & Gun Club . They have plans ( I guess ) to make the berms much higher so they are letting some contractors bring in loads of fill . The fill is crap ! Dirt , rocks and cement slabs . The dumb asses dumping the loads have the 200 and 100 yard ranges blocked off so the farthest you can shoot is 50 yards ( until they block that off . I made a couple calls to see what is going on and the folks I talked to had no idea that the shooting range was blocked .

Saw several road kill deer on Rt 104 yesterday . There was a dead deer in the West bound lane about 100 yards onto the bridge .

It took my father dying of lung cancer at the age of 66 to make me quit . I had my last smoke at 8 am Dec 24 , 1979 . Quiting smoking was the hardest thing I ever did ! I tapered off and then just quit . Don't be a Wuss , just quit !
