[DIY Bow Wrist Sling]

NIce job. Looks very professional.

[Type of gun/rifle]

12 and .308 is what I shoot. Hard to go wrong with that combo. I second the Mossberg 500 for the shotgun. And some may roll their eyes but look at a Stevens/Savage package in the .308. I've killed deer with it every year for the past 10 and counting and the deer never cared. Less than $400 for an out the door rifle and scope combo and when you drop it in the mud you just smile, wipe it off and keep hunting baby! Best of luck!

[eating squirrels]

That's how I do it and its the only way to skin a squirrel! Well not really but the fastest and cleanest absolutely.

[31 OCT Grouse Hunt]

Nicely done

[Do you shoot the doe if the fawns are with her?]

I agree w/ G-man, she won't be able to kick her BB fawn out of her home range if she's hanging in the garage.

[Opening day Score]

Nicely done and nice buck!

[What time will be in the woods?]

I'll be hooking up at 6:15. Stayin' 'till the wind blows me outta the tree . . .

[Would you shoot him?]

I'd let him walk . . . right into the back of my truck.

[Muzzy MX-3 100 grainers]

I've shot them in the past and they're like any other Muzzy head - devastating. The only reason I switched to the MX-4 was I thought 4 cutting surfaces would be better than 3. In all honesty I haven't really been able to tell any difference though, the deer I've shot seem to die just as quick getting hit with only 3 blades vs. 4. I'm sure you'll be happy with them.

[Questions Questions Questions]

Follow G-man's advice. Fall turkeys means putting your boots on the ground and covering the acreage until you run across fresh sign. Good luck!

[What Zone]

6S - Southern Herkimer County

[Any one get their doe tag?]

Received one each for 6S and 7J

[Shotgun Hunting]

Yep, when you change barrels you're best off sighting in again. Iron sights are OK as nyantler attests. Mossberg lists two slug barrels for the 535, both rifled, one iron sights one cantilever scope mount. The deciding factor is how far do you want your effective range to be??? Less than 50y, stick with your bird barrel and bead. Not sure if a 500 smoothbore barrel with iron sights will fit your 535 but if it does, you might find one used. Still good to 50+y but you've upgraded your sights. Either of the rifled barrels and some sabot slugs will pound them at 100y. Your choice of barrels depending on your wallet. Shoot straight!

[Lets see some more trail camera photos - 2011 version!]

I thought the light was kinda cool in this one . . .

[Thief]

Had my trail cam stolen back in July off posted property. Took me a couple weeks to get over it. Was especially bummed as it was a Father's day gift and the boys were looking forward to some pics. It was up less than two weeks. Finally decided if someone had the stones to trespass and cut the lock and cable, they wanted it more than I did. Just remember, karma will bite you in the a$$ when you least expect it. Thieves will get what's coming in due time . . .
