Yeah , these folks with their Pizza Hut , Walmart , Tractor Supply , etc shirts really tick me off . The nerve of them to be wearing those shirts , especially when they are off duty . ')'>http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/out_text.gif[/img] And what about these jokers that wear shirts with Team logos on them . I don't need someone advertising that they are a Vikings fan . The nerve of them !!! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/pissed.gif[/img]...http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/pissed.gif[/img]...http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/pissed.gif[/img]

I had a woman ask me where I got my shirt when I was shopping at Tops in Ontario . I looked and realized I had my NRA shirt on . She said that she thought it looked nice and would like to get one for her husband .

I don't buy the " no camo in public " . I have a lot of camo clothing that is camo that i don't use for hunting and wear whenever .... I don't feel the need to hide just because someone doen't believe in hunting . Only once have I ever had anyone in public make a remark about wearing camo and she was just ball bustin' .

Uhhhhhhhhhhh , do you think this might have been photo shopped ? : ... :

Wasn't Dirty Harry the one who said "a man's gotta know his limitations " . You're right Steve . If you aren't confident shooting past 20 yards , then don't .

I really don't need anything for hunting but my wife never knows what to get me so she gives me Gift Cards . My oldest son always tells her that I need "hunting stuff" . I never should have told him that through my will I am leaving him all my hunting stuff .

My mother still lives on Groveland Hill . Her property is only about 70' wide but 700' deep and is adjacent to wooded property that I have permission to hunt . I used to belong to the Scot-Grove Conservation Club but quit that a couple years ago . Groveland Hill Road / Turner Road ( Groveland ) Lima Road / Country Club Road ( Geneseo )

I was into Dick's in Webstaer this am . I have about $125 left in Gift Cards and dropped in at the store to see if there were any great bargains . Nothing I really need so I will wait until they have the end of Season Bargains . Saw a lot of guys in there buying new arrows , blades , sights , releases , etc .. I mean , Bow Season opens this Saturday . All that stuff should have been bought and broken in by now .

About the only place you hear about Feral Hogs in in the Southern Tier . No reports anyplace else ......

That is one Huuuuuuuuge deer ! ???

It looks like one of the hunters from the Southern-tier that isn't wearing his Blaze orange ...

Hopefully I will be settled in a stand by 6:30 opening day . I have about a steep downhill walk so I plan to take a folding web chair to leave by the Doghouse Blind and then go another 80 yards to a ladderstand that we setup last week . I will be alone so I want to take it easy . If I get tired I can go back to the blind and sack out inside ........... If I don't score in the am , I plan to be there for the day .

I don't hunt the State land and I stash the chairs away so they pretty much are out of sight . Havn't had any break as I stack a second one on top of another which strengthens the legs . They were left behind when people moved because they took up space . As for buckets , etc , I have seen them in the woods and also on land where they shouldn't have been because it's posted .

That's up on Groveland Hill ( God's Country ) . I havn't seen any big brusers there and the deer seem to pass through this area kinda periodic / not every day . Father Langworthy was Pastor of the Catholic Church and he came to our church in Ontario years ago . Groveland Station ? Did they kick you out of Piffard ?

Sometimes when people sell thier home and move , they will toss out their cheap plastic deck chairs . I have picked some up and put them in a couple of hunting spots . They are stackable and I double them up to give them strength as they are a bit flimsey , especially on uneven ground . Plus , the price is right !

With today's bows a couple yards shouldn't make a difference . I think the problem is that folks forget to bend at the waste and drop their bow arm . This will certainly cause a miss .

There is a high grass field on the camera side where I took the picture from . I had a button buck go past the stand last year at about 10 yards . He stepped right into the field without stopping to check and damn near jumped out of his hide when he was 5 tards from my doe decoy . It was funny .

There was an article in Yesterday's Rochester D&C ----- Active Animals Increase Risk of Car Accidents . Monroe County 2005 - 1109 2006 - 1046 2007 - 1075 2008 - 1191 2009 - 1259 It gave a breakdown of each town in Monroe county . With 1259 reported accidents last year in Monroe County , it makes me wonder how many there were state wide .

Yeah , everyone needs a beer around 8 am on a Sunday morning ! ')'>http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/picker.gif[/img]

Uhhhhhhhh , I wouldn't shoot him and just keep picking up the sheds each year . Yeah , right ! : ... : ... : Great looking rack !

Mostly doe and fawns along 104 , 590 and 390 .........

I imagine you also don't carry any TP with you and still use the old corn cob method when nature calls . Welcome to the 21st Century . :

It's low brush looking South like in the bottom pic . From the stand going North is taller and thick .

I have 8 ladder stands on a total of 5 properties . I have 3 new ones in my shed . You can never have enough ! The 15' stands are inexpensive and even an old guy like myself can put them up alone .

I have arthritis in my hands and grabbing the anal cord to tie off is difficult . No problem with the Butt Out Tool . I could care less how the cave men did it .........')'>http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/newrollinglaugh.gif[/img]...')'>http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/newrollinglaugh.gif[/img]...')'>http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/newrollinglaugh.gif[/img]
