If you limit your shots to 35 yards or less and have a reasonably fast shooting bow , you don't need a range finder . Just remember , if you use one , the distance to range is the horizontal distance not the hypotenuse !

Q: What types of attractants are legal for deer hunting? A: You may use cover scents and lures, such as doe urine, for deer hunting. However, it is illegal to place a salt block or mineral lick on lands inhabited by deer at any time of year. It is also illegal to feed deer. Some attractants that are marketed for deer are liquids or dissolving powders which deer may not directly consume, but the attractants may entice deer to feed on the material which absorbed the attractant. These types of produces would not be legal.

I asked about the fact that it might be illegal . He said they used to have to post a notice in the store but no longer . I was under the impression that you had to remove any bait 30 days before season opened ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hortonville ? Isn't that where the grinch lives ? :

Scent Blocker works and here is the proof ...............

One of the guys at Gander Mt said he keeps his Trail Cams set on video . HE takes a bag of C'mere Deer Shake & Take , slits a small "V" in the bottom , shakes a little on the ground and then hangs the bag in the tree by rope . He said that the dampness would kinda clot the opening but when the deer come in and eat what is on the ground , they will get up and reach the bag knocking loose some of the attractant . He said he has gotten a lot of pics this way .

260 ammo wasn't listed in the flyer . I went to the store on Hylan drive in Henrietta and made my purchases . Gander Mt ahs a good variety of products but normally I find them to be pricey . When they have a sale , that's another story .

What do you think are the warmest hunting boots ? My youngest son can't seem to keep his feet warm . He says the thinsilite grams doesn't seem to help and is looking for something warm with felt liners . When his feet get cold , he's done for !

If you decide to Lime it to adjust the PH , we got a deal on lime from CountryMax because we bought 40 bags of granular lime . I am assuming you may need a lot . Bulk lime is even cheaper . We had to go up a real steep hill and there was no way to get any bulk delivered .

I usually find Gander Mt kinda pricy compared to Dicks , etc but they are having a sale . I spent $45 plus tax on a few items . They have some Reminton Express Core-Lokt bullets in 30-06 , 270 , 243 , and 308 for $12.99 . Ya can't beat that price !

In my younger years , I bought log loads , cut the wood to length and then split it by hand . That's kinda rough on the wrists ! Then i started buying wood cut to length that I had to split .I found out that i could buy the wood split for $5 more a facecord and bought it split . I havn't bought wood or used the stove in 2 years .

Anyone know where I can sell a few Chipmonk hides ? : ... :

I had my last cigarette Dec 24 , 1979 at 8 am on my back deck . My Dad was a life long smoker and died of Lung Cancer at the age of 66 on Nov 11 of that year . It took my father dying to make me quit .

I GOOGLED Homemade Scent Killer and there were numerous posts with the recipe . They said to use the 3 percent hydrogen peroxide .

Wow ........28 states plus a few Canadian Provinces

I'm glad that I re-read your post . I was going to ask what kind of peroxide .....

Larry ..... would you go out and scout the area and then hang the stands for them ? They certainly don't do it themselves !

I quit smoking Dec 24 , 1979 at 8 am . I used to smoke while shotgun hunting . A couple times , I had to set my cigarette down so I could shoot . It never seemed to bother the deer . This was during bucks only hunting . I had does come within 10 yards of me while I was smoking . Go figure !

I will have to give that a try . It has to be easier than the phone .

The 3 huge fields I saw the deer in were cut hay fields . There are a few houses around but no building tracts . My son is hoping to be able to eventually hunt a couple of these properties ( not the 251 / 65 ) property . Another place I have seen a crapload of deer is on Sheldon Road . It's off Rt 65 south of Mendon Ponds Park .......

The only problem I have had with reporting is getting through or not be sure if my call was taken / verified . I have had to call a few times to get a tag reported . I wonder how many folks give up after the 1st try .

Personally , I am too lazy to make my own and come up with containers to store it in . Someone on here mentioned the Hunter's Specialties "Scent Away Spray" working great . I bought a 12 oz spray bottle for $4.95 at Wally-World with a $2 rebate on the bottle . It most likely would be cheaper to have made my own but this worked for me . As the Viper stated , people enjoy the do-it-yourself approach !

I did some deer drives many many years ago and wouldn't do it again ( except for a 2 man drive with my son ) . I had hunted with a large group at a friend's property in Groveland . We were walking about 50 yards apart in a huge woods . A buck came running back between myself and the guy to my left . I swung my shotgun up and over to shoot behind us and I saw the guy to my left swinging his gun horizontally as the deer was running by . My heart stopped momentarially as I thought "what if that guy had pulled the trigger when the deer was lined up with me . That was my last Party drive !

We bought an airtight woodstove about 20 years ago . Havn't used it in two years .We have a 4 bedroom colonial and it heated a good part of the house . It really dries out the air so we always put a pan of water on it for moisture . I had placed a register in the floor in the upstairs hallway to get some heat up there and some heat could travel up the stairway . We used to burn about 6+ facecords of mixed hardwood a season . I would always panic if I left the house and wasn't positive as to whether or not I had closed the damper ....... I was buying split hardwood in 10 facecord loads for about $50 a facecord but that was a few years ago .
