What hunting gear purchase did you make that you regret for any reason ? Mine was The Rescue One Controlled Descent System . I paid something like $130 for it , opened the package and never used it . I believe it's more for someone who goes up 20-30 feet and didn't seem feasible to wear it in a 15' ladder stand as my Hunter Safety System seems appropriate enough for that . I was going to give the Rescue One to my oldest son but he hasn't used his climber in a few years . Anyone else have any purchase regrets ?

Sat on a 5 acre property in Honeoye Falls this am . Was in the blind by 6:15 and stayed until 11:15 . Never saw a thing . Neither did my son . 3 years using the X-bow and still haven't gotten a shot with it on a deer . I put it away when I got home and I am getting ready for the Saturday Gun Opener .

On the way to our hunting area , I saw 3 doe by the roadside waiting to cross over and go to the huge corn field . I bet there are a lot of deer bedded down in that field . I hope the farmer cuts it soon so the deer will move . Sat in a chair at the base of the tree where my stand is and where I shot a buck last month . Saw 3 doe at different times traveling in the neighbor's field . I was seated at 6:10 am and stayed until 11:00 . Pulled a few SD cards from some cameras . My oldest son saw a few deer in that field also . Matt stayed the day and Nick joined him for an afternoon hunt . I went home .

Will be heading for Geneseo in a little bit . Forecast in the low 30's with flurries around 8 and fairly breezy with the wind shifting . Weather doesn't sound great but can't shoot anything from here . 2 of my sons will be with me .

If a man says he will do something , he will . He doesn’t have to be reminded every 6 months !

I prefer a Bi-pod . It's more stable than a Mono-pod . If I put the two feet together on the bi-pod , it can be used like a mono-pod . My son bought me a Caldwell Tri-pod thing that I have never used and is still in the box . It takes up too much room and is too bulky .

I was dressed and almost ready to leave for Geneseo when my son called and cancelled . Accu Weather shows rain a good part of the morning . No sense in getting soaked . I don't mind a light rain but not a soaker . Weather Bug doesn't show rain . I don't want to drive 50 miles to find out .

Knock off the Personal Attacks ! Thank You ........

Happy Birthday !

The person that mentioned that is the farmer who leases my SIL's property and the adjacent property that was just purchased . Not sue if he is blowing smoke but he has her nervous . It could be BS but I will do what I have to to be able to continue hunting her property .

Sat in a ground blind in Honeoye Falls this am . Spooked a doe on the way in . Was in the blind by 6:15 . Around 7:15 a Spike came within 10 yards of the blind . He had at least 6-7 inch spikes . I couldn't shoot as I had already gotten a buck during bow season . Later I saw a doe with a fawn . Quit at 10 am . The weather was nice . Might go to Geneseo Saturday and do a morning hunt . My SIL wants posted signs put up on the West side of her as someone bought that property and has a tendency to infringe on properties .

Sorry for your loss . How old was she ?

My wife's cousin's dog chases cats in the yard . If her cousin shouts CAT , the dog goes nuts and wants out the door .

Well slick , I didn't ban or give Chef a time-out . I don't even know what the post was that caused the stir . I don't go into the Chuckles forum as I prefer not to see that garbage . I had gotten PM complaints from a few members about posts on that forum and told those members to contact someone else as I had no intention of looking at the Chuckles forum .

Happy Birthday to my fellow Marines ...... 246 years

I haven't gone to Todays Chuckle since I came back . With some of the raunchy posts , I think it should be gone but it isn't up to me . This was originally set up to be a family site .

I have those and don't think they work worth a darn . I have a circulation problem and my feet are always cold . I bought a pair of heated socks and they work Fair . I could only find SVPRO when looking for a name brand for the socks . They are rechargeable .

The wife and I went to get our Covid Booster Shots this afternoon . Had to fill out a bit of paperwork . I was surprised that there was only male & female boxes to check . What happened to the other 55 gender choices ?

I have a 35mm trail cam in the basement somewhere . It was frustrating turning in a 36 exposure roll of film , waiting for a few days for film to be developed and maybe getting 2 pictures of a deer .
