Fastest crossbow ever

DUDE - I got the Vax plus the Booster shot . Have you noticed how many people wearing masks have the mask below their nose just covering their mouth . That really helps !

If stores , etc don't enforce the mandate , they can get fined . They are only trying to protect their business . I don't agree with the mask mandate but will comply unless I forget . I shopped at Aldi in Webster and after making a purchase and walking out I realized I didn't have my mask on . Nothing was ever said .

Same article is in the DEC news . Rather vague .

Another letdown . Sat in the blind in Honeoye Falls for a little over 3 hours and saw nothing . I dressed light as the sun made it quite warm . Around 4 pm , it got cold quick . Not sure when I will go out again .

Have a friend at the range load your rifle / shotgun without you seeing him do it . At some point he will not put a round in the chamber and you would find out just how bad your flinching is ...... I took a friend's kid to the range and he was scattering his shots . A guy came along and said that some guns don't like certain slugs . I said , let me try it and fired . Jeff said "holy crap" and I asked what the problem was and he said my shot was in the bulls eye which surprised me . I suggested he sit on his back deck with an expended shell in his shotgun and practice some snap shooting . Apparently that worked for him .

I had a problem flinching and finally got away from it . I caught myself doing this at the range when my 12 gauge shotgun wasn't loaded and I reacted like it was recoil . Several years ago I was hunting with my SIL . It was 20 degrees out by the wind chill index and I was freezing . I got out of the tree stand and took a few steps into the Laneway . 3 doe came into the laneway from the adjacent field . They were at least 90 yards away . I put the bead on the largest one and shot . They ran into my SILs field and the doe dropped . I thought about what I did right and realized that I was RELAXED because I wasn't sure if I could even hit the deer at that instance . After that I would sub-consciously tell myself to relax before pulling the trigger . That worked for me . It's all in the mind .

That's where the "Rescue One Controlled Descent System" could be a lifesaver if you had the bottom of a Climber drop away . I hope the New York Outdoor News has a story on this accident in a future edition .

A friend sent this to me ......... Town of Lysander Onondaga County Wilderness Rescue: On Dec. 10 at 1:35 p.m., Forest Ranger Chappell was patrolling the Three Rivers Wildlife Management Area when he heard a radio call from Onondaga County for a hunter from Baldwinsville suspended in a tree after his tree stand fell out from underneath him. Within five minutes, Ranger Chappell had located the hunter, who was having a hard time breathing due to the pressure of the harness. With the help of Baldwinsville Police and Fire, the Ranger freed the hunter from the harness. Greater Baldwinsville Community Ambulance took the hunter to a hospital where he was examined and released.

Livingston County is not going to honor the Mask Mandate that started today .

I cleaned my NEF Huntsman 50 cal and then reloaded it . Going to give it a try in Honeoye Falls tomorrow afternoon for a few hours . I had a double doe kill there a couple years ago . Hopefully the deer will cooperate .

42/7 ???????????????

I just got off the phone with the DEC in Avon and was told that my Buck Tag is good in the late season ( now ) . I was told that it can be used for an either / or tag for deer since I have Archery and Ml permits . Thanks for the Heads Up !

Cynthia - sorry for your loss .

Our power went out around 6 pm last night . It was still out at midnight . Glad we have the whole house generator ! Cable was out also so I went to bed at 10pm .

Thanks Fletch . I tried turning my monitor sideway so I could read it but that didn't work . j/k I saw that on page 26 of the Regs Guide .

Sat in a Hub Blind at my oldest son's property in Honeoye Falls . Didn't see a thing . Looks like my Buck Tag is going to waste . Tomorrow is my wife's birthday and we are going to celebrate . Then Sunday we will be celebrating with some of our kids . The Buck tag expires Sunday . I used my "either / or" tag on the buck that I shot during bow season . I still have doe tags to use during the ML season .

The only thing I don't like about my Savage 220 is that the safety has to be off in order to cycle the bolt . Most of my guns are either single shot or pump action . This is the 1st bolt action gun I have owned in almost 60 years . Other than that , the 220 is a shooter !

Hunting today was a bust but still enjoyable . My oldest son took me to his property in Italy Valley . Matt said it was "my" hunt . We sat in his 10'X12' raised building . It was quite comfortable and had a propane Buddy Heater . Sat there for 5 hours and no deer cooperated .

I have a terrible back ache . I hope it isn't another Kidney Stone ! That would really screw things up .

Going to meet up with my oldest son tomorrow morning and ride with him to his property in Italy Valley . Going to give it a try at an afternoon hunt . I haven't been to the property in 6 or 8 years . I always feel like a Ridge Runner walking the property .

Happy Birthday Gencountry Zeek ............
