  1. People do have a way of coming up with new actions in firearms, this Alcor Push Button is something different, will it become mainstream? Al
  2. The challenge and the fun, the quest for perfection, rifles, handguns, shotguns, airguns, slingshots, you name it, I just love shooting! Al
  3. To be honest I do not bow hunt much these days, I prefer to hunt small game at that time of the season. I purchased an Excalibur crossbow a couple of years ago to play around with and while I can easily outshoot any of my traditional bows both accuracy and distance wise, I just can not get enthused enough to hunt with it. If I do hunt with a bow it will be with a traditional bow. Al
  4. Much of my bowhunting was done from crude but effective blinds I built on the ground to break up my outline, I also did quite a bit of still hunting with not a whole lot of kills but prefer that method of hunting. Al
  5. Some Coyote Decoy Dog training tips form Mangy Dog, his dog is one of the best Decoy dogs I have ever seen.

    ice fishing 2025

    To each their own but for me I have zero interest for fishing in a hole on a frozen lake in the middle of winter no matter how good they are biting! Al
  7. He and the rest of the libtards that used to frequent this board can go suck an egg as far as I am concerned, today's inauguration was great and made my day and then some!! Al
  8. So long as the snow is not too deep I will continue to hunt small game, we got buried around here and I would need to use snowshoes to get around in the woods, something at this stage of the game I am not too enthused about. I will do a lot of tinkering on firearms this time of the year and I will also build handloads. Al
  9. I find if the weather is not too bad and snow is not deep they will be up and about throughout the day with peak activity early and just before dark. Al
  10. Is it the front or rear legs that she is having problems with? Rear legs could be an indication of a hip problem. Front leg-shoulder limping is many times a sign of Lymes disease. Al
  11. She has a pretty nice rack, kind of creepy!
  12. Most of them are here every day, they have logged off and view the board's content as guests. Al
  13. Par for the course!! They are some real beauties! Al
  14. It is a beautiful piece of work for sure. Al
  15. They say we got over 5 feet of snow the last few days, I believe it, been shoveling and plowing non stop. Going to need snowshoes to get around in the woods. Al
  16. I have had my best luck calling in the dead of winter when it is cold and the snow is deep, food is scarce and harder to come by. Foxes and Coyotes within earshot seem to come on the run in those conditions. Unfortunately, these days I myself hate being out in those conditions LOL! Al
  17. I tune in to the Brownsville channel at night, quite a few interesting behavior observations have been witnessed. I have heard deer vocalization on occasion but nothing like what I heard at Brownsville the other night when the Deer gathered to feed in large numbers. Sounded like a herd of sheep or goats, non stop bleating and grunting. Also so many Bucks have already shed their antlers, quite a bit earlier than last year. Also the pecking order hierarchy, those big guys just give a certain look and get their point across. Al
  18. I do not do a whole lot of sitting, but if I were to be out in real cold conditions and sitting for long periods in a blind situation, the Refidgiwear coveralls would be my choice of what to wear. Al
  19. What led me into looking at these outfits was I read that Refridgiwear was standard garb for the folks up in Prodhoe Bay Alaska working for the oil industries, I figured it had to be pretty good if that was what they were wearing. Al
  20. The fabric is not noisy but color is not the best for still hunting and they are heavy, when I am moving I do not get cold. I like wearing wool best for still hunting. Al
  21. They do not come in blaze orange and I ordered them directly from the Refridgiwear website. They are somewhat bulky but that being said they are made for working and moving in very cold weather conditions, I can move around in them pretty good doing my chores. I would not want to wear them for tracking or still hunting but for any type of blind hunting or cold weather varmint calling or ice fishing I think they will work more than fine. For me there is nothing that will ruin an outdoor activity than being freezing cold and these coveralls have been the best preventative. Al
  22. Merry Christmas to all the Hunting New Yorkers Al
  23. There are no days off when you have even a small farm like mine and going out doing chores on these zero degree days is not fun but has to be done. I have tried just about everything there is clothes wise for keeping comfortable in freezing cold temps and the best solution I have found are the Refridgiwear coveralls. No matter how cold it is or how bad the wind is howling these coveralls keep me warm and allow me to get my work done comfortably, I am never cold when wearing these things. They are not cheap but worth every penny for anyone that has to be out in bad weather. I wear military, heavy weight poly under wear for a base and just slip these coveralls on and am good to go. They would work great for any outdoor activities. Al
