  1. I think most that left were on here daily. Sure it's nice to not have the useless banter but the fact is this site lost a huge amount of members. That is not good and with no new memberships it's a recipe for disaster. Enjoy it while it lasts.
  2. I just moved 2 Cannon safes each over 500lbs. We used the tractor with heavy duty straps and got them onto a small Dolly. My buddy said it would hold twice the size. I was amazed.
  3. Funny I got the email from Tractor supply this week. Had a safe 335 marked down to 299 then in store special $99. Had 5 in bath ny. I went in and asked about the deal and was turned down. Said it was a corporate mistake.
  4. Have a two family rental in Corning. What a great town. My Sister in law is the President of the Gaffer district. I just dated a woman for nine moths who has history there, They were the Thomas family. Owned some businesses and land in the area. Good to hear from you!
  5. He could be paid up for a few more years and then it will go away. The site can run itself, that is until the money is gone then up for sale.
  6. I lived it and lost some neighbors. I was off that day but had to report to Time magazine early the next morning. There were fighter jets over the house protecting our airspace it was surreal. We managed to print a magazine and have it delivered to NYC in 24 hrs. I never want to do this again. I had to stay in Manhattan for a few days. Bomb scares all the time and the smoke from Downtown was bad. Something that will always stay with me is the kindness that every person showed toward each other. In our darkest hours we will shine. That was amazing. I can remember coming home to the Huntington train station. My car was parked there for a few days. I was put up in a hotel for that time. There was this guy with a clip board and came up to me. He asked is this your car and I said yes. He replied thanks i can take you off the list of people not coming home. Enough said and I went home to my wife and kids.
  7. We all lose interest in things. It happens. I don't know why John doesn't poke his head in here time to time but he has treated me really well. A lot jumped ship just thinking this was going to shut down. It's alive and well and really I go to the other site and it's a mirror of this one. Nice to chat with the guys but I'm fine plugging away right here. This website has come a long way. Fast Eddie knows, black screen with white or yellow type can't remember. Let's just play it out and if one day it ends, it ends. But for now I think we are in for a great deer season. We have done this twice in 15 years. Bucks on the pole before noon! Hope this year is the same!
  8. Yeah I have pictures of the site. Someone F-ing with us. I'll take care of it.
  9. So I did my rounds at the six camera's we have out. The one closest to the road had a few ears of corn thrown out in front of the camera. They were broken in half husk off of them. My corn field is on the other side of the road about 100 yards away. Animal didn't do it because the break was clean. The prior lease guys were not happy when we took over. That is my only suspect but its been over a year now. Thoughts???
  10. Had some storms just roll through. Deer were in the clover and never left even after downpour and thunder.
  11. I have been working out lifting weights and running all my life. I take supplements. My new thing is Liver detox. Healthy liver gets rid of fat and does not store it on your body. My crutch is beer. I enjoy it too much to give up but I'll be turning 62 in April and its harder and harder to keep it off the stomach. I'm going to have to have a "Jesus come to meeting" about this. Venison is my red meat. Most of the time I eat veggies and just love it. My liver enzymes are moderately high. Doc is not worried but wants me to quit the beer during the week. I think I can do that. As far hunting season just be aware of your limits like Doc said. Ask for help when needed.
  12. So my plot consist of clover, chicory, radish and brassica. I know one bag said there was rye cover crop.
  13. Saw first hard horn today. Nice 8pt on my lease property.
  14. Happy Birthday Marine! Enjoy the day!
  15. True, it's not a given. My Doc hunts and actually been to my place and neighbors. Yes I would love to hunt all season with xbow but I would miss the compound. Think I'l wait until next year and make it my own decision.
  16. I saw this New York State Senate Bill 2023-S5802A would allow hunters 60 and older to use a crossbow during the special archery season for deer. The bill is set to take effect on June 1, 2025
