  1. The only suggestion i can provide is that i typically go to my local agway for most my seeds and their prices are very fair to a point it doesn't make sense to buy mail order from a bulk seed company. If you don't have a local agway, may want to try mail order through Welter Seed and Honey Co.
  2. I have a box of horns laying around. Could be a cool winter project.
  3. Are people getting that rich off these windmills that makes them buy into this crap and destroy a beautiful landscape? What an eyesore. I don't think i could stand owning let alone hunt a property that had so many unnatural big unsightly objects all over. What a sad deal, the things people do to make a buck.
  4. Paranoia no, i think most people with some type of intellect take these news casts with a grain of salt but get prepared for the worst case scenario..crippling, unrelenting etc...are all good words to describe whats going on in Suffolk county right now, as one member posted "28 inches and still snowing". That's pretty significant in my book!
  5. Thats pretty cool, those guys are down to earth...choot em', choot em'..lol
  6. Im hoping to get out the city by 2 or 3 as well. Cant trust mass transit with this impeding storm.
  7. Yes hunters may indeed be taking bucks, however the focus from what ive read is dealing with an overabundance of deer.
  8. If im not mistaken he uses a few different bows, different poundages and shoots ambidextrous. They explained that a true traditional archer should be able to shoot ambidextrous, shoot different bows, varying poundage, varying angles, no set anchor point and still be fast and very accurate.so i think there are a couple different bow makes that he uses.
  9. I guess you missed the scenes where he shot multiple targets within seconds of each other and on one occasion the targets were quite a bit aways ..instinctively that takes skill..
  10. I agree, the alpaca socks are the best kept secret out there..lol..i might have to stop by that alpaca farm to see about the gloves, the owner has hats, scarfs etc..im sure she has alpaca gloves.
  11. I have hunted in single digit temps. for hours on end in a tree with no cold feet issues. What has worked for me are 2000 gram thinsulate rubber boots (cabelas brand), the secret is to first put on a thin dress sock and over that the best kept secret is to use socks made from alpaca fur. I have a local alpaca breeder i get these socks from, im sure you can find them online but they are not cheap, couple years ago think i paid $22 a pair (well worth the money) and they work unbelievably well with the combination i noted above. You also need to ensure that you have enough room in the boot where you can move your toes periodically. Drives me nuts in the past where i had boots with no wiggle room..lol..so thats my secret to staying on stand longer then most hunters.
  12. The origin of this group that are found in upstate ny are black muslims that left their poverty and violent striken neighborhoods of brooklyn in hopes of creating a better lives for themselves . Atleast thats the info. I can find on this particular religious group. Without actually living there i cant say for sure what is their current intent. However i dont find their community any different setup then what the amish do and look at all the seasonal jewish camps in upstate ny that have 6 foot chain link fences that surround their property. Heck my buddies property is next to a jewish camp and they recently put up a 1000' long by 6' high wood fence adjacent to his driveway. Unless they are proven to be extremist with intent to kill i dont see how i can brand them any differently then other non-violent religious community that for whatever reason wants to isolate themselves.
  13. Culver, come on man.you can't make a statement like that and not post the recipe and process..lol Please do share..
  14. I recently picked up an electric masterbuilt 30" digital smoker and did 6lbs of smoked venison sausage and between my kids and family thats almost gone..lol..next batch will be 10 lbs .. this weekend im smoking a pork roast...and in the near future im gonna make some venison jerky..check uncle nickys post called smoking away in the cooking/recipe section some members including myself have been talking about smoking and some awesome recipes/process were shared.
  15. I cant imagine the difficulty to maintain temps with a charcoal smoker, must be very labor intensive especially with long smokes of 6 hours or more. I dont think adding an electric element will make things easier in your situation. As culver stated and in looking at my unit, the electric masterbuilts are double walled insulated and doesnt take much to keep temps at a constant. For me the thing that makes this more enjoyable as opposed to being a headache is the digital timer, temp. control and has a built in temp. probe. All those factors add to having a consistent temp./smoke. My main concern here in the city was smoking out my neighbors..lol..however i was shocked as how little smoke escapes and requires very little wood chips. If you passed by my unit you would think it wasnt even on.
  16. Ok thanks..what do you do with any left over thats not eaten within the first few days? Do you keep in fridge or will it need to be frozen? If kept in fridge how long will it stay good?
