First-light

Here is the latest update. Talked with the Chevy dealer. Service manager said it could be a cam problem but they didn't detect any noise. Stabiltrack will shut off when the truck misfires. My mechanic still wants me to run the truck with the fuel additive to clean out the carbon. Well I got in the truck this morning and the engine light was off. Ran it about 50 miles and it is still off. Going to do 1 more can of the Techtron and see what happens. Truck still has a slight rough idle but I would imagine any car with 200,000 miles on it would.

happens on LI all the time. Shotgun season starts in Jan and there is always one or two small fawns brought in that weigh in the twenties.

Inside loin from the small doe I shot yesterday! Salt, pepper and butter……it was great!

This is what my daughter did with my sheds.

Well it was a great day out east. We saw a total of 9 deer and I took a small doe. It was my last chance to salvage the season and it happened! Also a picture from the trail camera. Another big buck still holding headgear this time of year. A decent 7 pt was brought into the check station today. Only a total of 25 hunters on both properties.

Headed out to Rocky pt tomorrow 6 of us. Have a bunch of spots together so we will do some drives and see if we can kick up something. Always a great time this late in the year! I'll report back tomorrow!!

Also have to say truck runs better after first start up when its cold.

The 8-4 cylinder deactivation is acting funny. When the stabilitrack goes off I lose the 4cylider option. It stays on 8 cylinder all the time.

Stubby, I'll try the battery and cables. That is an easy one. My mechanic also talked about the cam having a flat side causing the problem. Thanks to all of you I will try everything talked about. It is really a bad bad time for me to come up with this money. I hope something works.

I hate to give up on it also. Going to try a few more things this weekend. My buddy owns a Chevy dealership I'll bring it there for a second opinion.

Basically he was saying you are better off spend a few more grand and getting a new motor.

2007 Chevy Tahoe. 196000 miles. Lately its been having a rough idle. Engine light came on and stabilitrack warning came on then shut off. Checked the error code which was P0300. This is an emission system exhaust error. Brought it to my mechanic and he checked it again and said # 8 cylinder was mis firing. Changed plug wire, coil and injector on 8. Still has the misfire. We are currently running Techtron through the fuel system. He wants me to do this 4 times. If this doesn't help he said I probably need a new motor. He said by the time you do valves and lifters a new motor would be a better option. I'm at a loss, other than the misfire and stabiltrack going off the truck runs great. Any thoughts out there? Thanks, FL

The feeling of being lost in the woods is never good. I have had this happen a few time. I guess the wort feeling was being up in a ladder stand and hearing shots and then the whirling of the bullets (3) passing very close to me. I had no where to go to protect myself. Needless to say that stand with the way the land slopes does not get hunted at gun season anymore.

Glad everyone is good. Frightening.

WoW great deer, 164 that is nice!

My brother inlaw does works great.

My Brother inlaw makes the syrup and it is great. When I move up to place full time I'll do it also. Question about bears. Do they ever mess with the sap collected at the tree? I have a decent population by me I think it could be a problem? Thoughts?

Ok thanks thought it was this year. Its a decent spot.

When did you shoot the 10 pt at 32?

Happy birthday!

I have to laugh. I kept on telling him during bow season to let the does walk by the big one might be following. Him and his wife both shot at does around the third week in Dec.

Gun season started on LI Jan 1st. My Nephew was out at his spot yesterday and saw 15 does. He picked up his sd card and found this big guy on it. Date was 12/26 at 2 pm. One of three things may have happened by now. He dropped his horns, gone nocturnal from the beginning of gun opener or he is dead. No reports of him being taken so that is good. Picture before him was 5 minutes earlier and had a bunch of doe on it. Looks like he is missing a brow tine. I hunt out there on the 18th. One never knows what might happen.

Happy Birthday!

Congrats all around nice deer.

Great video, some nice ones in there. Is that one near the middle of the video a big button buck or did he shed his horns?
