Now up through the end of February is a good time to prune , all good advise. One thing that I don’t think I’ve seen mentioned and is very critical is that all your cuts should always be on an angle, slant. Don’t make straight up/down cuts. The worst thing you want is for water to lay on exposed cut areas, leads to rot and potentially disease.

Yeah I guess, but for some reason I just hate wearing any glove even when working on things outside in the cold. To me the gloves just get in the way. I always have a plastic shopping bag in my backpack to hold the liver and heart.

I have never used gloves , to me they just get in the way. I have a stream and just wash up after I’m done. I don’t break the ribs or rear end, I just reach up (long arms) and cut the throat and pull out the heart. Depending on the time, usually if it’s dark out I’ll just gut the deer back at camp, if early enough just gut them where they lay.

Congrats, life as you know it will change for the best. Enjoy, she’s a doll!!!

Never had the opportunity to ask or meet my FIL as he died when my wife was a young child. I did however ask my MIL to have my wife’s hand in marriage, I love her mom just like my own. It just shows so much more respect when a man asks the future in laws for their daughters hand in marriage.

Mexican night out at PICO’s in Rockaway Beach.

Lol

There are so many cars with southeast state license plates driving around in the tri state area that the Virginia plates will blend right in. Hmmm, wonder why..lol..

Same here.

Sorry for your loss.

Here’s a pic of a video that my cousin sent me, it was taken behind his house on Staten Island,. In the video they were tickling horns with each other., there was a doe to the left of them. Messed with the colors to edit the pic. best I could. In any case no denying these two are giants. This is what age gets you. To think this is only a 20 minute car ride from my house in Brooklyn, insane!!!

Lol.. I figured that much, not worth it.

I would find it very hard to believe that if a PO deemed your ML to be a firearm that only $200 fine would come of ithat. It could potentially lead to your arrest and seizure of the ML.

Okay, makes total sense. BTW, came out great.

I’ve seen this type of setups on Mudding Atv’s, question, what’s the point of the relocate? Does it cool the ATV better?

40 1/2 acres, just myself, took a 10 point and 2 does.

Not sure I didn’t post the pic.

Holy smokes that’s some bait pile, wow!!! Crazy.

Enjoy the day!!!

That wouldn’t even be fair.

Actually the ranger is also a turbo engine. But I wouldn’t bet pink slips on it.

Happy New Year

Just wanted to share more recent pics of my pups, the Rat Terrier (Chase) is 22 months old and my American Bully (Hulk) is 6 months.

Consistency and positive reinforcement is the key along with tuff love (show a strong displeasure in your voice when they misbehave or have accidents). I crate trained both my pups, the key is creating a schedule and sticking to it. Once they come out of crate take outside to do business and after each meal. I like to keep them out of the crate after a meal and after they have done their business outside. They only get water during their meals (I don’t leave water out all day) or more if they are more active and I take water away 3 hours prior to placing to bed. My 6 month old bullly is just now getting the hang of things and if he does have an accident (pee), he already knows he did wrong and will walk away with his head down. And always, always use the crate as a positive tool, never put a pup in the crate because he/she did wrong: also always place the pup in the crate if you know your gonna be distracted or busy with something else. Also doesn’t hurt to stick their muzzle down into the pee and poop and very sternly say NO a few times. Best of luck. She sure is pretty.
