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 .

Excellent pics . An apple a day keeps the bear away !

Thanks for the e-mail addresses . Some of these "save the world " Loonies go overboard with their thought process .

I was shooting 100 grain Muzzy 3 blade broadheads and had good luck with them . After switching to mechanicals , I don't think I would go back to fixed blades .

If the guys at Bowtech can shoot softball size groups at 100 yards , then the extra 66 2/3 yard would be a safety buffer ......')'>http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/picker.gif[/img]

Not me .......... ???

Drove past the Avon Bowman's Property today . No sign of life .........

Nothing to do with licenses but we still get mail for my mother in law who passed away over a year ago . I am tempted to fill out a change of address card with the address of the Cemetary . ( In reference to Deceased Lifetime License folks still getting them in the mail ) .

I had a Kidney stone removed surgically back in the 70's . A pain in the pit of my stomach and right testicle would come unexpectedly and I would almost fold up before the surgery . After the surgery I was okay until the visiting nurse explained to me how they cut through the various layers to remove the stone . It was painful for quite a while but I have a high pain threshold . Just a few years later they started busting them up with ultra sound . The stone was a small oval shaped thing with tiny burrs . Oh yeah , good luck with your surgery SOB .......http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/beer.gif[/img]
