Plumber forgot to run pipes for kitchen sink when we had an apartment added to our house. They poured the slab foundation so he had to run them in the attic. Needless to say the cold water pipe freezes when it gets real cold. I put heat tape on it to solve the problem. BTW I used to use heat tape on my pump at a cabin I had in the Catskills years ago. The place I have now doesn't need it cause there is a check valve in the pipe. This is what the Well guy told me and I never had a problem.

It sounds wonderful, I wouldn't have a problem sending my 13 year old away for a month. You can visit which will be great. My 15 and 12 year old went away last year to Cortland for a week. They were involved in the field hockey and soccer camp. Sounds like your daughter is pretty mature and will handle things fine…….congrats it will be a great experience! -
Bow hunt in October-November and bring your surf rod, Blues and Stripers all you want. The place is wonderful and you all from upstate should come down to experience the beauty!

Makers Mark Manhattan is my choice at 52 years young! -
I get 20 bucks an acre. I'm in Steuben county and some say I could get more but the farmer is a great guy. He will do favors if asked and puts back into the soil what he takes out so my land isn't getting raped. Remember the best part about doing this is your property will go into Ag status on your tax bill. This will eliminate a decent amount of taxes on the property.

125 so yes.

Yesterday I had a long conversation with a Police Officer who was at the scene. It was hit by a car.

That is a whole lot of money. I couldn't even answer that question.

Saratoga nursery taking orders
First-light replied to First-light's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
I know they ship to the Ag dept in Bath. I don't see any apple trees on the Saratoga list. -
Yeah I thought it should of been higher but I saw some other pictures of this deer and the rack doesn't look as big in the two pictures I posted. If you ask me he looks 155-165……Heard an old lady was feeding this buck. She watched him run off her property and get hit by the car.

Found out he scored high 140's and was 200 lbs. Just today two other bucks in the same area were seen by my friend. Almost or just as big as the road kill buck.

Saratoga nursery taking orders
First-light replied to First-light's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
Those of you at a a distance can have them shipped to your house. Take the seedlings and plant them in cheap window boxes that depot sells. Use a good soil mixture. I did this once and let them grow all summer and planted in the fall. Worked great. -
When I bought my land back in 2007 I ordered 300 white pine from the nursery. We planted them in April of that year. They were pencil size trees that are now almost 6-8 feet tall. I would say a good 250 made it. Well worth the 50 or so bucks I paid for them. Also had my kids help plant them and we call each area they planted their forest. Buy them now before they get sold out of some species. On a side note for some reason the bucks don't like to rub white pine, why I don't know but none were ever torn up??

Brother and his friend hunted all day and saw nothing. No deer were brought into the chaco station. He also didn't see much sign. Maybe the sharpshooters got them all….lol
-
Number of deer were checked in yesterday. 1 small 8 and a bunch of doe. My brother is going out tomorrow with his friend. Good luck to them and espessoBuzzzzz!!!! Dress warm!!

My neighbors Granddaughter uses a 223 and My niece. Both have taken deer with these guns. The smaller caliber is what these girls were after. Gun did its job for sure.

Really good 2.5yr old or 3.5 year old
First-light replied to LIWaterman's topic in Trail Camera Pictures
If thats the Island I would say older maybe 3.5 or 4.5. -
Happy Birthday!
-
Like the 2nd!

I wouldn't bother. My advice would be to walk into the wind. Last time I hunted public land out there I walked probably 7-10 miles in the day and kicked up a ton of deer. GL

It seems that does come into cycle from early Oct all the way through late December. So yes a late doe could be making the youngster chase her.

My neighbor is walking our properties Wednesday with a Forestry manager. I'll report back on his findings.
