Good luck to you also Bleitten04 ............

The outside temp is 44 degrees here in Ontario . I'll be heading for Geneseo in a few minutes to hunt in the morning . Gonna go to South Bristol tomorrow to hunt with 2 of my sons .

It is forecasted to be in the low 30's at 6am and the "real feel" temp is forecasted to be in the low 20's ............ cccccccccccccold !

Harbor Freight has the Trickle Chargers at a reasonable price and every once in a while they have them on sale .

The 1st sabots I bought when I got my NEF Huntsman were the Powerbelts . Heard a lot of negatives on the Powerbelts and bought the TC sabots with the 240 gr Hornaday XTP's . They hit the same as the more expensive Powerbelts . I have only shot at 3 deer with the ML and took all three with one shot each . Lucky !!!

I put my archery gear away yesterday am . Got the gun hunting gear ready . Talked to my sister in law about where we would sit tomorrow am . I am tempted to sit in her upper pasture lot ( horses will be in the barn ) . The deer often come out of the small gulley , cross the pasture and go into some thick stuff on the neighbor's property . I'll take the ML instead of the shotgun .

I probably would ............ Once the hide is off it will taste the same as the other deer . However , if I had already taken a couple deer , I just might pass on the albino after taking pictures .

I have a new battery sitting in my garage ( no not on a cement floor ) That I put a trickle charger on ance a month for a few hours so that when I use my winch , it won't be dead .

From a fenderplayer to a flyswatter . That's quite a move . welcome to Hunting NY !

Welcome to Hunting NY . A Taxi-dermist , huh !

Welcome to Hunting NY . Grab some popcorn and join in on the action . ???

Yeah , for a dollar it would be a good deal and they would probably fit tighter than the fingers .

I tried the heat parches but if i perspired , they wouldn't stick ..............

I am recycling a surgical glove so it's costing nothing extra . I have shot 3 deer with the ML and left the cover on when I shot . It didn't affect the shots al all .

I had once considered taking a CASE of slugs hunting . With all the shooting that was going on I probably could have sold the cheap rifled Foster slugs for $20 a box . Sometimes it sounded like a war zone ! I'd bet a lot of the shooters ran out of slugs . Get your slugs here $20 a box bargain deal $45 for two boxes ............... :

I have a Blue ridge 3D deer target . I would sometimes pull the plug out when removing an arrow and have to hold the target with my knee .The arrow puller really helps get a grip on the arrow . And ....... the Armor-all lets it pull out easier .

We had to forfeit a football game because of hunting oneseason . Several of the upper classmen decided it would be fun to take off opening day of Pheasant season . They were put on Detention and were not elligible to play that week . We didn't have enough eligible players so we had to forfeit . Students would have their shotguns in their vehicles but very few had cars ......

Here is a solution to the problem that has been going around .................... Improvements to Airline Security This has got to be one of the greatest ideas I've heard......... and I'm sure that someone could figure out how to do it! Here's a simple solution to the controversy over full-body scanners at airports. Develop an enclosed booth that passengers step into but, instead of X-raying them, when the door closes, it will detonate any explosive device they have hidden on or in their body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth.. This would be a win-win for everyone! There would be no concern about racial profiling. The booth would eliminate long, expensive trials. You're in the airport and you hear a muffled explosion, followed by an announcement over the PA system, "Attention standby passengers, we now have a seat available on flight number..." What's not to like

I use a surgical glove when I hang scent pads and throw most of them away . I keep a couple and use them to make barrel protectors . Cut the ends of the fingers of the glove off so they are about 1 1/2" long . Slip one of the cutoff tips on a finger and roll it up so it looks like a miniture condom ( no offence Doc ) . Then do the same with the other cutoffs . Take one of them and slip it over the end of your ML after it is loaded . The "mini condom" will keep dirt / debreis out of the barrel and keep moisture out of the barrel so it can't get your powder wet . Or you could throw away the glove and buy the protectors . I prefer to save money .

Camp was fun at times ..............

I have 5 slugs in the shotgun and a box of 5 buried in the bottom of my backpack . If I shoot all 5 , digging to the bottom of the backpack would give me plenty of time to figure out what i had done wrong . I have a pump action . You can tell which way a deer is running by the sound of the 5 - 6 shot semi-autos sounding off . As for the ML , I have it loaded and 4 speed loads ready . I have been lucky and never had to take a 2nd shot with the ML . But ......... I still reload it before approaching the downed deer .

Check out WallyWorld at the end of bow season when they start marking archery prices down .....

I usually get up at 3 am to get ready to drive to a hunting spot . I am chowing down on the oatmeal by 3:15 . Around 7:30 am my stomach is growling and I bet the deer can hear it ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/tears27.gif[/img]

Those handwarmers that used lighter fluid were something else . They had quite an odor and could get real hot ......
