  1. Glad you got the picture thing worked out . Sure wouldn't want to miss the Bunny Suit pictures !
  2. My Re-loads consist of ------ CCI 200 53 gr H4831 117 gr Sierra SP ( #1630 ) OAL 3.155 I went to reloads when the prices were high for 25-06 and the ammo got scarce .
  3. My son , Matt , called me last night to ask if I was using Ballistic tips or Varmint loads in my 25-06 . He said there was quite a bit of meat damage on both deer where the bullets exited . I told him that my reloads consisted of Sierra 117 gr Soft Tips . Anyone else have this problem ?
  4. Finally broke the jinx ! He shoots - He scores ! I Was in a double stand where my oldest son shot 2 deer yesterday am . Nothing ! Wasn't hearing any shots except a couple that sounded like they were in Avon a ways away . It was cold and windy . I was ready to leave at noon but stuck it out . I asked my youngest son Nick if he wanted to leave at 4 and he said why not 4:30 . Okay .At 3:45 , I saw a doe at almost 100 yards North of me and then 3 more followed . The larger doe came to an opening in the brush . I shot and she took off like a rocket . The other 3 doe just stood there and when one hit the opening , I shot again with my NEF 25-06 . All 3 took off and I thought , oh crap . I got down and checked for blood . Didn't see any and walked in the direction of where the 1st deer ran . Saw her big white belly and called Nick . Then I walked in the direction that the 2nd deer ran and found her . Nick came over to field dress the 2 while I went to the ATV and up to where I parked the Subi to get the Jet Sled . It was now dark and hard to maneuver the ATV through the downed trees and limbs but got it done . Dropped the deer off at my oldest son's residence for him to process . What a day !
  5. In stand at 630. Haven't seen anything. No shots all day. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  6. No ammo problem here . I reload for my 25-06 and two of my sons 270's .
  7. I use to joke about going around various woods at 7am selling shotgun slugs after so many hunters had emptied their guns and extra slugs and were out of ammo . Could have made a lot of money . Not an awful amount of shooting yesterday morning . And the 1st shots were a couple minutes to 7am and were distant .
  8. Was very optimistic about the opener only to have another crappy day . Sat in a new stand that was on a horse trail . Would be able to shoot 70 yards at the most . Thickets on both sides of the trail . Saw nothing . !st shot I heard was just before 7am . Youngest son Nick said he shot at a doe and said he was getting down at 9 to check for blood . Said it ran across woods headed my way . He didn't find any blood . I was bored . Got out of my stand and walked the horse trail about 60 yards . Looked in the woods and saw the white of the doe's belly and let Nick know where it was . Got back in the stand until noon . Changed stands and sat in one facing north . All I saw was a group of 12 turkeys and later 4 more . No deer . Heard several shots in the am and several after 4pm . Will go back Monday . I don't hunt 2 days in a row . My back can't take it .
  9. Biden's gun czar , Beto , will be leading the charge !
  10. If Trump came up with a cure for Cancer , people would demand they have a right to get Cancer if they so choose . "Their body - their choice" !
  11. Sunrise for the Geneseo area is 7:11 am . No doubt there will be shooting by 6:30 . Seems like it never fails . I have to get one of those "infared" scopes ......
  12. Just got back from the Gun Club . Checked out the Savage 220f and my NEF 25-06 . Both good to go with no adjustments . Plan to use the Savage in the woods tomorrow morning .
  13. Car accident or loser in a fight ?
  14. Pertains mostly to AR-15 owners . https://www.westernjournal.com/much-bidens-gun-tax-cost-every-day-americans/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=conservativetribune&utm_content=2020-11-19&utm_campaign=manualpost&fbclid=IwAR1pdr_HFs9jiTHsW9gP27SXPTpdCFbuazfAnS5tG9wBfJb2ZL8qBSAd534
  15. I get the Flu shots and the Shingles shots . I only know of 3 people who have ever had the shingles and I want no part of it . When the vaccine becomes available , I will take it .
  16. Sheriff Virts of Wayne County said his men will NOT enforce Cuomo's Executive Order as it isn't actually a law .
  17. Skunked during bow season . Sat in a stand in Geneseo from 6:30 until almost noon . I saw nothing and my son , Nick only saw a doe . It was windy and some of those gusts really shook the trees . I ended up with a stiff neck and a headache from sitting in the wind for 5 1/2 hours . We called it quits . It had warmed up considerably but was still windy . We didn't hunt the woods because we didn't want to screw it up for the Saturday gun opener . Can't get the deer to cooperate !
  18. I plan to hunt Geneseo tomorrow with my son Nick . We intend to meet at 6am and head for the stands by 6:!5 . Hopefully I will get a shot with my crossbow . Nick is taking his Matthews compound . Last time out before gun season .
  19. All the numbers drawn are in the post pinned at the top ............QDMA Raffle Ticket Drawing
