  1. Huge, there are many big ones in there.
  2. Cortland water works. My brother lives near by and stops in. I have never seen anything bigger!
  3. My dogs print. Black Mouth Cur 90 lbs. You can see the nail mars above pads. I think its a cat for sure.
  4. My dogs eat the plums off my tree as far as they can reach! I don't have any Grey squirrels by my house but the Reds are all over. Those get too close to the house and they get popped. They ate right through my wood siding and had babies in my attic one year. What a pain.
  5. Just talked to my neighbor to the north. We were thinking to give the 2.5 year old a pass. I have been doing that but that is going to be a hard sell for everyone else. That 10 point split brow tine is my target buck, along with the really wide 8 in previous posts.
  6. I think its the last two pictures of a clover plot planted in the beginning of August. Clover, Chicory, Radish and oats. Some real nice deer this year.
  7. Now I'm not in my woods all the time. I do live here and will go cut trees, take the dogs for a walk and mow my paths. It doesn't bother the deer. I think we all "over think" pushing deer out of your area if you out and about. If you have good cover and food they will be right back in it after you leave.
  8. Foxes, dogs and cats all have four symmetrical toe pads with two in front and two to the side. Cats have retractile claws so leave no claw prints, but dogs and foxes do. Maybe some type of big cat I see no claw marks?
  9. Thanks! Totally slipped my mind. That was stupid of me.
  10. Rented a man lift from pinicle in Hornell. Machine was great and I felt safe doing the job myself. My big project done, now to shooting bows, cross bows and guns.!
  11. I burn mostly dead ash. Mixed in is Cherry and oak. all seasoned.
  12. There was a hunt club across from us. I saw one day a load of carrots coming in for bait! lol They were good guys never had a problem.
  13. Hey guys, I should clean my stove pipe this year. Now I'm on a website "old wood stoves" its pretty cool. I asked and some guys say they don't clean it. Just have a really hot fire will do it. Others say you should do it every year or every third year. Any thoughts on the subject and how would I do it from in the house. My pipe is just too high on my metal roof to get at. Thanks, FL
  14. You know there is 15,000 acres to hunt on that hill. There was no acces point to park a vehicle just drop off places for snow mobiles and hikers. Now 30 years ago there were fields we would back into. Set up camp, even the boy scouts were there. It is so much more difficult now. I don't want to think about about 100 years from now. My girls get my place and in my will we be something said about preserving this place for future generations like your Father has done for you. Roscoe looked beautiful but trying to access it to hunt these days is a joke.
  15. We didn't border the river but it was at the base of Morton Hill road. We would drive the Trike (lol) down there and fish. First time I taught my girlfriend to fly fish she catches a big brook trout! Yes it is beautiful. They were hit hard with the rain last week. Talked to a work crew cleaning up downed trees and such.

    Doc its not just this forum. I get them at every other site I go to. Yes very annoying.
  17. Coming home today I had some time to kill so I drove through Roscoe. About 35 years ago I owned a Cabin up on Morton Hill road. We sold it in the mid 90's. A lot of family hunting up on the state land off of that road. Boy has it changed but then again 30 years is a long time. Fields where we would camp are now hard woods. There isn't even any area you could pull you truck off to camp. Woods have grown right up to the road. Some of the homes I recognize but many are new. My place is there in fact I just saw it listed last year for sale. Time sure marches on and waits for no one.
  18. In Howard, I saw a video from my neighbor last year. I have yet to catch one on camera.
  19. Erie and Niagara insurance. I go through DomSam in Hornell.
