Good post Wooly . My wife and kids camped a lot so we spent a lot of time outdoors . I never pushed my sons into hunting but 2 out of 3 hunt and my son bought hunting property in Italy Valley . He has turned into a venison hog , has some great recipes and has made his own sausage , etc .. My dad took me woodchuck hunting with him twice when I was a kid . That is the only time I ever remember him hunting . He let me take his 22 out when I was 12 and I scoured the countryside shooting chucks . The farmers more than welcomed my presence on their property in Groveland . I am pretty much self taught . My father in law got me started deer hunting when I was 23 years old . We would spend a week together hunting . When he quit , I stopped hunting for a few years and my sister in law asked me if I wanted to hunt with her on some property she purchased in Geneseo . I then got my son in law to start hunting again . Got a couple other folks started hunting but found that a lot of folks just don't care to hunt . I think I have gotten "off topic" .......must be the old age thing !

Do they just take down their tents and move along to better eating ? :

Mine is " Jerimiah Johnson "........ I have seen it several times . I saw it on sale at WalMart today for $5 and grabbed a copy . What's your Favorire ( one only ) :

I bought one of those grinders alone at BassPro about 8 years ago for $80+ .

This would be an inexpensive start .... http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=790264&ecid=E113E&utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=E113E&[email protected]

I blame it all on Global Cooling !

Bohning 6 arrow quiver -- It comes in Realtree or Break-Up

That's quite a trip from Elmira to fish . I hope you have a good haul .

I took the picture with that exposure to capture the color of the sky. If I wanted it over exposed, I would have set the camera that way. Soooooo , you need a telephoto lens for the sunrise ?

Dave - That had to be quite the experience !

I have a Bohning Lynx 6 arrow quiver . They also have the Bohning Lynx 4 arrow quiver . The things I like about it are ; it's flexible (takes up any shock) , it grasps the arrow in two places and it is easily detachable .

When that was posted on another site , the license plate was blacked out .

Dayum Burt , I have mixed feelings on this . I can just see a parent demanding that the kid wear a harness while he doesn't wear one . Preach safety and then not follow it . It makes me think of the bicyclists where you see a mom or dad riding with the kids . The kids wear helmets but the parent doesn't . DUMB !!! I was always told to lead by example .......

I've never had to drag anything that heavy . Bought an ATV a couple years ago . I think I could handle it now . Awesome buck . Congrats !

Get a picture editor also

Those tent caterpillers really mess up a tree . I had tried spraying our crab apple tree but it didn't help much . I fastened a bernzomatic torch to a pole and burned up the nest and then anything crawling . You could hear the little ba$tards screaming !!!

Welcome to Hunting NY . Grab some popcorn and pull up a chair .......

Check this one out http://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-BowHunter-Chuck-Adams-Rangefinder/dp/B001MYCTTS/ref=sr_1_10?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1301445529&sr=1-10

Absolutely- and a hero of the time to me, that wasn't even his most impressive mission IMO. Bet ya he got more practice than we'll ever know on them "Chucks" and "Charlies". Got a title on that book Eddie or know the author. I like to read! ;D "White Feather" and "Marine Spiper" were two of the books . Can't think of the 3rd title offhand .....

Check out this hitch . You won't find it on the DIY forum

This is the camo that I wear around the house ..........

hey Doc , I think it was taken down in Bristol ! ;D ... ;D ... ;D

We were in Williamson getting our Taxes done and I ran into a woman that I had shot woodchucks for in the past . She said a friend who has property in Walworth has chucks in the yard of an old house he owns . I told her that the way the houses are situated , it wouldn't be safe to shoot a gun around there but ........ it made me think that it might be fun to try my luck with the bow this summer . By then gas will probably be up to $4 a gallon !

It was on today . I loaned two books about Carlos to a fellow JarHead as well as a book on Marine Corps History . The guy dies and I didn't pursue getting them back from his widow . Hathcock was a Marine's Marine !!!

I wonder if it was the VC sniper's scope that Carlos Hathcock shot a bullet through . That empty scope makes one heck of a peep sigh . Especially at 400 yards !
