I have shot a lot of bucks over the years but nothing bigger than an 8 pointer . I am retired and I make it a point to spend as much time ine the woods as I can during deer season . The 1st few weeks of archery , I will hold out on shooting a small buck . Does are another story ! I try to fill those tags .

The wife and I had some venison steaks tonight and I put together some Mesquite marinade mix . Not much taste . The best mix I have found is a Peppercorn mix ....

Nice pics ! thanks for posting

I got some Custom strings for my Ben Pearson TX-4 from a guy on another site ...... TWIZTD STRINGS is the name of the place . Here are the strings that I got . They are great !

The stand is about 500 yards from the road , 150 yards from the East property and over 200 yards from the West property . Someone found it a couple years ago and used it . I took a portable drill and drilled the hole so I could lock it . I was surprised to see that someone had been in there as my sister in law hasn't let anyone else hunt her 69 acres . It was definately a tresspasser . At least the person didn't trash the stand when he couldn't get in it anymore .

What did you do ? Spill honey on the camera before you put it up ? ??? ... ??? ... ???

Nope . I'm a Bills Fan and have been since the old days . I root for the New York team ............. ... ...

I don't go in a treestand if I don't have my harness and I don't gun hunt unless I am wearing Blaze orange but .......... I don't think either should be mandatory .

Hell . you can get hurt from a short fall . A friend of ours and his wife were biking on the erie canal Path . They stopped and Tom was straddling his bike . He moved over when some other bicyclists approached . He lost his balance , fell over , hit his shoulder and busted it up real bad . He needs surgery and physical therapy . Nothing to do with hunting but this was about a 3' fall . Too bad he wasn't tethered to his bike ! ??? ... ???

Unless I missed something , that report is over 10 years old . I wonder what they have come up with since then .

We had NYDEER for a while but the owner sold it and I never heard from the new guy . It was a pretty dead site .... I should go in there and clear all the posts as no one visits anymore . Got a few of the members to come over here ....

Yeah , I miss the Oct 15 Season Openers ........

I loaded up 65 cartridges for my son's 270 this afternoon . I took the last 15 rounds and gave them a light crimp . I had to hand weigh each charge on mu Ohaus Balance scale and I was having trouble with the funnel . Static was keeping all the powder from flowing and I had to tap the the funnel quite a bit to get all the powder out . I grabbed one of those laundry dryer sheets , wiped out the funnel and it worked fine after that . I have an old Lyman powder measure but I can't get it to work with Reloader 19 ..............http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/pissed.gif[/img]

The only thing I don't like about the Moultrie cameras is that a lock box runs about $40 unless you make one . I won't put a camera up that I can't lock unless it a WildView ..........

I put my Moultrie IR40 out on a friend's property in walworth this afternoon . I took a ladder out so I could hang it out of the reach of a neighbor that tresspass' during hunting season .

Something that ticks me off is to go to one of my stands on private property and see junk on the ground where my stand is placed . Cig butts , candy wrappers etc . this is property where no one else has permission to hunt and someone is leaving garbage there . So this is what I have done with a couple stands . Here is a pic of what the top part of a ladder stand would look like . I used the quick connect clips on the rear brace instead of the bolts . I removed the pins , swung the platform down , lined up the bolt hole and drilled a hole through the ladder leg I bought a Brinks lock with a long shank I can now lock the platform so the stand cannot be used . I carry the clips in my backpack along with the key . It's only a deterrant and someone might get angry and trash my stand but they sure as hell won't use it !

Enjoy the vacation . Nothing like going to Flor-a-duh when it's 90 degrees up here .....

Thanks . I appreciate the replies . The first few rounds I had done for my son's 270 , I had used the regular decapping die . Some rounds were fired in a different rifle and the bullets would go in loose so I pulled them ot . With the next few rounds I used the full size die and that worked great except that I had to lube the cases . Now I am considering whether or not to crimp the rounds as I believe a light crimp is done with factory ammo .

That sign has been up for several years . I sometimes take that road when I stop at the Avon Gun Shop and then head to Lima Road . Thought you might enjoy the pic . There used to be a couple bow shops in Avon but not anymore .

Verrrrrrry interesting !

What's the big deal of being 1st in line for DMP's ? It's not 1st come 1st to receive ........

That's a darned nice buck !

Trail cams are enjoyable and let you know what is in the area .

I put up a couple of Trail Cams today . One in Groveland and one in Geneseo . They are about 60 miles from where I live so I won't be able to check on them for a couple of weeks . Hopefully there will be some action .
