  1. Syracuse.com artical, Good Job John Marino, I'm standing right behind you 110% Wake the heck up NYS DEC And leave well enough alone. We don't need more bullets flying during Bow Season! WTF And I second the motion BIG TIME!.
  2. Thanks for the heads up on that, yes it's just for treating your clothing, and I hope eveveryone knows that they still need different protection for there skin. Thanks again.
  3. X 2 Congrats to the young man, sweet bird, nice job!
  4. FastEddie, Thats the size I bought 24oz for $12.99 at Dicks last night. Bass Pro has it at $12.99 and Dicks is $14.99 Dicks did the price match for $12.99. Also Gander Mountain does not carry it, I called all over this week.
  5. Hey Guys, just want to pass this along. I know many of you folks down south and elsewhere have a problem with ticks. But here in NY I've been hunting, fishing, camping, and everything outdoors for over 46 years now, and never ever had a tick on me that I know of. Just last week I went out to check the cameras and got in with three on me, and did I jump...... And to make it even worst my work place sent out a mass email to all divisions and employees. I want to share this with you all. Also I just bought this product that my Doctor recommended to me, we also hunt together, and he swears by it. http://www.sawyer.com/tech-bugs1.html Also click the video link on this Sawyers site. Below is the information I received from work, I hope no one gets hit with this Lyme Disease. Please be extra careful and stay safe everyone. Rick! Lyme Disease Surge Predicted for the Northeastern U.S. Boom-and-bust acorn crops and a decline in mice leave humans vulnerable to infected ticks Millbrook, NY – The northeastern U.S. should prepare for a surge in Lyme disease this spring. And we can blame fluctuations in acorns and mouse populations, not the mild winter. So reports Dr. Richard S. Ostfeld, a disease ecologist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, NY. What do acorns have to do with illness? Acorn crops vary from year-to-year, with boom-and-bust cycles influencing the winter survival and breeding success of white-footed mice. These small mammals pack a one-two punch: they are preferred hosts for black-legged ticks and they are very effective at transmitting Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. “We had a boom in acorns, followed by a boom in mice. And now, on the heels of one of the smallest acorn crops we’ve ever seen, the mouse population is crashing,” Ostfeld explains. Adding, “This spring, there will be a lot of Borrelia burgdorferi-infected black-legged ticks in our forests looking for a blood meal. And instead of finding a white-footed mouse, they are going to find other mammals­ like us.” Acorns (photo by Lori Quillen) For more than two decades, Ostfeld, Cary Institute forest ecologist Dr. Charles D. Canham, and their research team have been investigating connections among acorn abundance, white-footed mice, black-legged ticks, and Lyme disease. In 2010, acorn crops were the heaviest recorded at their Millbrook-based research site. And in 2011, mouse populations followed suit, peaking in the summer months. The scarcity of acorns in the fall of 2011 set up a perfect storm for human Lyme disease risk. Black-legged ticks take three blood meals­ as larvae, as nymphs, and as adults. Larval ticks that fed on 2011’s booming mouse population will soon be in need of a nymphal meal. These tiny ticks­ small as poppy seeds­ are very effective at transmitting Lyme to people. The last time Ostfeld’s research site experienced a heavy acorn crop (2006) followed by a sparse acorn crop (2007), nymphal black-legged ticks reached a 20-year high. The May-July nymph season will be dangerous, and Ostfeld urges people to be aware when outdoors. Unlike white-footed mice, who can be infected with Lyme with minimal cost, the disease is debilitating to humans. Left undiagnosed, it can cause chronic fatigue, joint pain, and neurological problems. It is the most prevalent vector-borne illness in the U.S., with the majority of cases occurring in the Northeast. White-footed mouse (photo by Rick Ostfeld) Ostfeld says that mild winter weather does not cause a rise in tick populations, although it can change tick behavior. Adult ticks, which are slightly larger than a sesame seed, are normally dormant in winter but can seek a host whenever temperatures rise several degrees above freezing. The warm winter of 2011-2012 induced earlier than normal activity. While adult ticks can transmit Lyme, they are responsible for a small fraction of tick-borne disease, with spring-summer nymphs posing more of a human health threat. Past research by Ostfeld and colleagues has highlighted the role that intact forest habitat and animal diversity play in buffering Lyme disease risks. He is currently working with health departments in impacted areas to educate citizens and physicians about the impending surge in Lyme disease.
  6. No flash extender at all, just a very well built Home Brew Sony P32 with a Bigfoot Controler.Rick!
  7. DLC Covert Reveal camera I just love this, the Gray Squirrels knock out all the bird food and these guys just lick it up. And have a Buck with his head gear still holding on!
  8. Ya, they are looking real healthy for sure, I'm thinking it's because of such a very milded winter here this year, and I hope it holds up too!
  9. Wow! nice frying pan size, good eats right there! What creek did you catch them in?
  10. According to the time stamp, The Rabbit Lives On! Rick!
  11. That's one sweet bow, I shoot a Bowtech also. Someone will get a very sweet bow.
