  1. 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 !
  2. 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]
  3. 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 .
  4. They may hold back on the permits and then give them out with the extras at the later date . The DEC does make things confusing don't they !
  5. 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]
  6. 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 .
  7. 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 !
  8. 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]
  9. 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 .
  10. 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 . :
  11. Red Green , the Duct Tape fix-it man that is or was on the PBS station is going to be at the Beyond Hardware Store in Penfield tomorrow between 2 and 4 pm ( at the plaza at Rt 250 and Rt 441 ). They were talking to him on the Home Repair Show this am . Red has written 5 books . He said that's more than he has read .
  12. Their "migration time" ????????? THe damned things don't migrate anymore ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/pissed.gif[/img]...http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/pissed.gif[/img]...http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/pissed.gif[/img]
  13. My youngest son had a hard time dealing with cold weather and bought one of those Heater Body suits and said it is no longer a problem .
  14. Here is a pic of one of my son's treestands . It about 6' X 6" X 7' high and about 18 feet off the ground . 3 drop down windows and a door .
  15. 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 .
  16. I stopped at Harbor Freight today and saw a digital safe manufactured by Bunker Hill . Has anyone heard of them ? http://manuals.harborfreight.com/manuals/95000-95999/95824.pdf
  17. Yeah ...... and I got this on my trail cam

  19. Sits --- Apparently your anger management sessions aren't working !
  20. 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 .
  21. 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 .
  22. Holy kee-rap ! That is scarey all right ...... http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/help.gif[/img]http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/help.gif[/img]
  23. 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 .
  24. 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 .
  25. Too cold for me . Two of my sons hunt an area in Pittsford with their bows during regular gun season .
