I shoot the bow in the back yard . Do some reloading . Take the GPS and look for Geo-caches . Waste time on the computer . Take care of the honey-do projects . Go to functions that the Grand kids are involved with , etc ......

I went down to Walworth to check on a stand today and almost got carried away by the Skeeters ! They were nasty !

The only timeGander Mountain suits me is when it has sales . Other than that , the prices are inflated . I would probably never buy ammo there !

You can use a muzzle loader during the regular gun season .

No modification . It's that way because there is no safety . You pull the trigger and wonder why it hasn't fired then when you get it almost to the end , BAM ! I am expecting it to fire sooner . I may get a Lazer sight for it . I GOOGLED and found the Crimson Trace Lazer sight ranging from $155 to $250 . $95 difference for the same Lazer sight (LG 431) . That's weird !

I took the pistol over to the Gun range this afternoon and dusted out the barrel with 59 rounds . I don't care for the trigger pull on the little Ruger ! ... ...

I have ATV Insurance through State Farm . It costs me $75 per year .

With all the budget cuts Governor dave has made , the NYS Capital Building ran out of TP . I think the Crossbow Bill is now soiled .......... ???

They are butt ugly birds but it's awesome to see them gliding through the air . Here are some having lunch on Bloomfield Road in Pittsford ................ http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v313/fasteddie63004/?action=view&current=TurkeyVultureFeast.flv

Some Mendon deer . I sat in a treestand last night to see what activity there was going on . Took some pics with a bino cam with a 5x lens . A couple bucks rubbed heads and did some light pushing . I was surprised .

My son has property in Yates County and I won't hunt there during gun season . You can now use rifles there . His property backs up to 1800 acres of State land . In the past during gun season (shotgun at the time) , it would sound like a gun battle on the State land . I was concerned about how it would be during rifle season . Apparently it was okay .

What ticked me off is ....... there is an "In" box and an "Out" box . They wait until the In box is stacked up before doing anything and then wait for the out box to fill before mailing . Try that with your monthly bills and see where it gets you ! > ......... ;)

I'm not really too much into Turkey Hunting but I once hunted with a guy that smokes . He had a small hole in part of his facemask to put the cigarette through . It really cracked me up !

I have a Ka-Bar knife with a 3 1/2" blade and about 7" overall length . It looks like the Ka-Bar Little Finn and was made in Olean , NY . I have had it for over 40 years and it has field dressed a lot of deer .

Well golly gee .... Guess what was in todays mail . The pistol permit addendum that I applied for on June 16 . I also got the slip for the National Instant Criminal Background Check Certification which is good for 5 years) . The addendum was signed on July 8 so it took 7 days to travel 30 miles from Lyons to Ontario . I hope to pickup the pistol this afternoon . It's a Ruger .380 acp ................yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa . Now I can quit crying about it !

I also see a lot of folks riding along the roadside and don't get pulled over but with my luck , I would get nailed when some Trooper or Deputy was having a bad day . I have that black cloud hanging over my head ! ???

My wife bought one of the EPIC cameras for Christmas in 2008 . I used it last year , thought I had it turned on and shot the deer with the bow only to find out it wasn't on ....... .. ..

I have never gotten into the habit of wearing a facemask but know that I should . The deer will notice the glare on your face if it's not covered with camo paint or a facemask ........

I think the fire started when they burned up the Scent Loc clothing after Scent Loc lost the Law Suit !

This thread should be re-named "Redundant" ! : ... : ... :

Mr VJP "First, the Crossbow is less effective than a compound bow. It travels less distance and carries less energy. It is a close range weapon that limits the hunter's deer shooting distance. Look it up for yourself. *** The Bowtech Stryker has a maximum effective range of 60 yards . "Look it up" !*** Mr VJP "2nd, It is no more accurate than a compound bow. The skill of the shooter has to be just as high, and his weapon just as tuned as a bow hunter's, in order to score a kill. It is also much heavier and noisier." ***The Bowtech Stryker is capable of shooting "softball size groups at 100 yards" . Call up Bowrech and talk to their technician *** ***The crossbow can be shot effectively with 30 minutes of familiarization / practice according to Ottie Snider the Media specialist for Horton . Look it up .*** ***Heavier ? that's what bi-pods and tri-pods are for . Just like they are used for guns .

I have mine registered and licensed . What ticks me off is the fact that it is still illegal to ride an ATV along the side of the road . So , what the hell is the license for !

I try to sit for the whole day , especially opening day . If there is a wind shift , I may change stands .

Great pics Vipertech !

Nice video RTF and congrats to that young man ..........
