Happy Fathers day guys! Spending it with family and friends. Enjoy!

Wooly that is cool. Years ago I was at the top of a mountain in the Catskills at sunrise. There was only a sliver of clear sky the rest clouds. When the sun shined through the opening it washed the whole forest in burnt orange color. It was truly amazing. I have never ever seen anything like it again. Those moments are made to reflect upon. Glad you had a camera!

Two of the three from last season.

I had a pedestal mount done this year. Every one that sees it says the next mount they get done will be the same. I love it and your mount looks great nice deer.

If I head out to check cameras or scout new areas I usually don't pack any weapon. If my girls are with me in the woods I do. Years ago in the Finger lakes you didn't see many bear. Today is a different story. Same goes for the coyotes. It is just going to take one crazy animal that gets startled to cause a problem and I what to be on the winning. end. Now that doesn't mean I will take pot shots at yotes any time of the year. It will have to come down to a real dire situation for me to fire the gun. I understand your logic Wooly but I think its a bit of a stretch if we go into the woods packing though.

Great catch!

Running safari on a Mac and came up fine. GL!

We were done by 1:00 saturday afternoon! Weather man was all wrong and we didn't get a drop of rain! My brother is amazing at this stuff and gave us a big jump coming up Thursday. Checked the cameras and had a few small bucks and one bear. My neighbor showed me his picts and he has two piebald bucks!! I was a great weekend and that project is finally done!!

My brother got up there yesterday and mowed. He will be staining all day (I hope)? I'll get up there around 5 and do a little myself. My Neice and her husband will be up Saturday and Sunday for some extra help. Hopefully we get it done on Saturday and can play around a bit Sunday. My brother said he never saw so many deer on the property. My neighbor been saying the same thing. Looking forward to getting up there and finishing this chore. Have to pull the cams also!!

Congrats on the new home, it's a good feeling!!!

If it's like wind farms it will take years to be completed. Has to go to the sitting board of NYS and be vetted. I'm on the 4th year of my wind lease, no turbines up yet. They are saying 2018 for construction. Now with that said solar may be different…….

Nothing like fresh striped bass. Sometimes we chunk them and deep fry…so good!

Just checked on my Wind lease. There is no clause to keep solar from being erected under the wind turbines. This could get interesting…...

That is pretty cool. Unlike a wind lease this will effect many acres but will have a low profile. Do your homework and get a lawyer involved. That is pretty good money/year. Good luck grow.

It's done! We all loved it! A big thanks for everyone one in the above thread….

Nice, a home should always have a dog by your side.

HB DOM!!!!!!

That is great and really simple. I'll get some nice rolls to put it on. Thanks WNYBH!

Having a bunch of people up to the cabin next weekend. We are staining the place and will be working all day. Any of you guys have a great recipe for pulled venison cooked in a crock pot?

Nice! Enjoy the real life!

Happy Birthday!

Very nice! I'll pull my cards next weekend and see what Howard has to show!

Cabin is 7 years young and needs new stain. We did the shed a few weeks ago now next weekend the main house. Went with a dark color (Saddle leather brown) in the Benjamin Moore Arborcoat stain. It is a dream to put on, great product.
