WEnt to the Batavia Party House this afternoon to their annual York Central School class reunion ( multi classes ) . Anyway , on the way back to Henrietta , the GPS took us on some back roads . When we got around Wheatland , I had to take it real easy and had to really slow down in spots where deer were crossing the roads . Never drove through an area like that before !

how to make a 20 dollar bow press...........
fasteddie replied to sits in trees's topic in Bow Hunting
Sits --- I have had mine for only a couple years but have used it on a few bow and it is easy to use and real handy . I think I paid around $30 for mine . Prices have gone up ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/pissed.gif[/img] -
Tree Stands, traditional wooden ones on tree's of 2 or more?
fasteddie replied to TheHunter's topic in General Hunting
Doc --- I have had nails pull out or break in the past . That I did to fix it was nail short pieces of 2 X 6 's to the trees for the base of the stand to rest on and nail and or cable the stand to one of the tree trunks . I even nail a 2 X 6 to a 2 X 6 to build it up . This lets the tree trunks sway a bit and the base slides on the 2 X 6 's . And yes , I check things out before climbing into the stand . -

I bought the Bowmaster Bow Press from Cabela's . It's portable and handy to have at camp if needed ......http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/beer.gif[/img] -
I am not positive but I understand it to be 2 chances if you pick 2 WMUs . I usually ask for 2 different areas just in case .

fasteddie replied to TheHunter's topic in General Hunting
I put up a 3' X 4" pressure treated stand in Geneseo about 15 years ago . I shot my 1st ever buck with a bow out of the stand . It's 18' up and between 3 big limbs . About 3 years ago , a tree dropped between 2 of the limbs and crushed the stand and broke the ladder . Of all the places for that to happen , it had to fall where it did ! -

They might know I was carrying because its hard to conceal my Thompson Contender with a 14" barrel under my shirt ...... J/K http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/icon_smile_whistling.gif[/img]....http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/icon_smile_whistling.gif[/img] -
Trail cams will let you know there are deer in the area but they don't show up every day or all the time . But ........ I have been told by some hunters that a certain deer will always be at a certain spot each day at the same time . Makes me wonder if it's true as I would think he would set up for this "on time" deer and shoot it .

I carry a Bi-Fur pod with me that I made . It can be used as a bi-pod or shooting stick . I'll have to make a DIY video on how to make it . Then again , maybe not . Very few go to that forum and wouldn't see it . :

Who video's their hunt? If so how? Post some videos!
fasteddie replied to JCTheGC's topic in General Hunting
Sometimes you have to use some common sense . I wonder if he could have gotten away with the time on the camera was set wrong and it was actually legal . -

Sits --- Apparently your anger management sessions aren't working !

I prefer the Millet rings . You can adjust some of the horizontal my loosening one side and tightening the other . A couple years ago I was at the local range . A shooter was swearing and complained that he had adjusted his scope as far to the right as he could and it was still off . I looked at it and realized he had Millet rings also so I told him to adjust the scope about 30 clicks left and we could get the rifle zeroed in . He told me I was nuts and I said "trust me" . Anyway , he moved the 30 clicks and I got out the allen wrenches and moved the scope . He didn't realize that he could do that . That's basically why I like that particular brand .
-
I found the material that came with the scope and it didn't mention the distance other than before mounting hold it approximately 3" from your eye . I move it back about 1/2" and that made a big difference . Now I have to make a trip to the range next week to check it out .

What celebrity hunter would you like to meet ?
fasteddie replied to fasteddie's topic in General Hunting
I have met Bob Foulkrod , Dick Bernier , Charles Alsheimer and Larry D Jones . Charlie Alsheimer was the most personable with Dick Bernier a close 2nd . When I mentioned Chuck Adams to the other two , you could see fire in their eyes ........ .. They didn't care for Mr Adams . -
Thanks for the replies . I havn't really measured the distance from eye to scope and I have had the scope on the rifle for a few years . I don't have a full field of view with the scope unless I lean way forward to see better which is not the proper way to shoot . I have to make some changes .

Too cold for me . Two of my sons hunt an area in Pittsford with their bows during regular gun season .
