42/7 ???????????????

I just got off the phone with the DEC in Avon and was told that my Buck Tag is good in the late season ( now ) . I was told that it can be used for an either / or tag for deer since I have Archery and Ml permits . Thanks for the Heads Up !

Cynthia - sorry for your loss .

Our power went out around 6 pm last night . It was still out at midnight . Glad we have the whole house generator ! Cable was out also so I went to bed at 10pm .

Thanks Fletch . I tried turning my monitor sideway so I could read it but that didn't work . j/k I saw that on page 26 of the Regs Guide .

Sat in a Hub Blind at my oldest son's property in Honeoye Falls . Didn't see a thing . Looks like my Buck Tag is going to waste . Tomorrow is my wife's birthday and we are going to celebrate . Then Sunday we will be celebrating with some of our kids . The Buck tag expires Sunday . I used my "either / or" tag on the buck that I shot during bow season . I still have doe tags to use during the ML season .

The only thing I don't like about my Savage 220 is that the safety has to be off in order to cycle the bolt . Most of my guns are either single shot or pump action . This is the 1st bolt action gun I have owned in almost 60 years . Other than that , the 220 is a shooter !

Hunting today was a bust but still enjoyable . My oldest son took me to his property in Italy Valley . Matt said it was "my" hunt . We sat in his 10'X12' raised building . It was quite comfortable and had a propane Buddy Heater . Sat there for 5 hours and no deer cooperated .

I have a terrible back ache . I hope it isn't another Kidney Stone ! That would really screw things up .

Going to meet up with my oldest son tomorrow morning and ride with him to his property in Italy Valley . Going to give it a try at an afternoon hunt . I haven't been to the property in 6 or 8 years . I always feel like a Ridge Runner walking the property .

Happy Birthday Gencountry Zeek ............

Welcome to Hunting NY

Congrats to her !

My youngest son , Nick, and I did an afternoon hunt in Geneseo today . I saw absolutely nothing . Nick saw a fawn around 1:30 . At 4:50 he got down from his stand and saw a doe up the hill . He didn't shoot as it was sky-lined . We packed up and left . The deer were smarter than us as they stayed out of the wind .

I have always had the straps tighten to the tree . I try to remember to loosen them at the end of the season so they don't gerd / damage the tree ............

Lawdwaz - here are the pics . It's real muddy down near the thickets and woods . The water doesn't run off .

I took pics with my phone . It takes almost a day to send pictures from my phone camera to VZ Media and then email them to myself .

Hunted my SIL's property with my oldest son this afternoon . The only deer I saw was 3 that we spooked out of the gully . I heard a shot at 3:30 and my son said 7 or 8 deer came down through the fiels and he shot at a buck . He waited a bit and then shot a doe . Another double . We were able to quit early . Next up will be an afternoon hunt with my youngest son . So far we have gotten 3 bucks and 3 doe off that property . Life is Good !

Went to Geneseo this afternoon . I set up my Ameristep Caretaker blind and sat . Wasn't seeing anything . Bored .... Legal quitting time was 5:09 pm . I had to pee real bad and closed up the Hub Blind at 4:35 . At 4:45 , I saw a doe coming my way . She was between me and my SIL's house so I couldn't shoot . More than a good thing as I grabbed my rifle by the scope and felt something loose . The scope rail is held on by 3 set screws . Two of them were loose . Can't use the rifle until I re-sight it . I will take my Savage 220 slug gun for tomorrow afternoon . My youngest son bought a used trailer to haul his ATV . He drove from Honeoye with the trailer to pick up his ATV Sunday . He left the hunting property in Geneseo , got about 1 1/2 miles away and blew a tire . No spare . I told him to drive the ATV back to the property and see if my SIL would bring him back to his car . He drove the trailer back to the property and stashed it . He ordered 2 tires ( 4.80-12 ) and should get them this Friday . While I was there today my oldest son and I were able to free up the lug nuts on the bad tire side . Tomorrow we will try the other tire . I am thankful that my son didn't get half way home and get the flat tire .

Happy Birthday . Have a Great Day !

I am beginning to think that my feet and hands being cold might be Raynauds Disease . My father had it . Two of my sisters have it and two of my kids have it . Poor blood circulation and blood flow . No matter what boots , foot warmers I have don't seem to help . My feet are even cold in the house and the floor is warm .

A friend of mine said he and his wife didn't care for Turkey so he went to Joe's Meat Market in Ontario and bought a couple Prime Rib Steaks for Thanksgiving . I think they still load up the Turkeys with chemicals to make them grow big .
