Way to go, yes hanging out after the hunt in the spring time, or any time, is great!

I have the buck roar and the can. If you practice enough you can do most calls on your own. I have called in most deer just doing a soft doe bawl. Can't remember if I ever scared any off, don't think so, half the time they aren't interested. Sometimes calling deer works real well and they come on a string!

Let's take the bacon and figure out how to covert the grease to fuel. I'm sure someone on this site can figure it out!

I have seen birds still in the roost at 9:30 a.m. Not once but three times.

Guys, I want to have it to move stone, wood and give my kids a ride. Have looked online at Northern tool, Lowes, Sears, Tractor supply and a local place in Canisteo (payne's). They run from 200-800$. Any thoughts or suggestions? Would love to get one for about 350$

Thanks Eddie!!

It's just a matter of time I see one while walking my property with my Daughters. I make it a point to carry the spray, we have two cell phones and there is a plan in place. We talk about the plan before every walk. Two years ago we hit the hard woods that had been logged years prior. There were a lot of stumps in the area and you could tell the bears were tearing them apart looking for insects. It was a bit unnerving with my kids in tow so we got out of there quickly. The kids picked up real quick on my uneasiness.

Burt , you only carry 2 arrows ? Yup, if I miss the first shot I use the remaining arrow on myself!!!

Two years ago on opening day we had a mother and two cubs hanging around our tree stands. I got within 30 yards of the cubs. The mother just kept on eating corn. She would look up every now and then. It was getting dark and they were in our path back to the cabin. All the yelling in the world did not move them, in fact the cubs became more curious. It took two shots in the air to move them along. When I walk my property off season I carry bear spray, you never know.

It's nice to see the bears in your area but after a while they start to become a problem. For me they just don't eat the fruit of my trees they break the tree apart till there is nothing left! This goes for some real nice pine trees also. They either use them as back scratches or eat the sap. Someone told me they will let the sap run and come back to eat the insects!

Nice Pat. I have to get a new camera this year. Nothing like seeing what's hanging around the property!

Ba Ba Ba bear!

$4.21 on L.I still. Oil is climbing back up so I don't see any relief! In some of the towns on the North shore where you are at a distance from the main drag the price is as high as 4.69/gallon!

Very cool and great music. We just started playing Knee Deep by Zac Brown this week, great song!

Very cool accomplishment! That bird will be a beautiful mount.

Wow, I play golf on L.I. and don't have to deal with those buggers. That must really suck, is there a handicap for black flies?

I used to be a big salt water fisherman along with my brother. We both had 21 foot cuddy cabins that had some weight behind them. One little mistake and disaster could strike. The Port Jefferson ramp was so dangerous at low tide. I saw one rig slide right into the abyss boat truck and trailer. The ramp on the right side was the worst. I was launching my boat at low tide and just got it moving off the trailer. For some reason I hit the brake on the power winch and my whole rig started to slide down the ramp. It was frightening! A quick response and I turned the break off and the truck stopped just short of going over the edge. Yes I did have chocks under the tires! Damn ramp was so slippery.

Glad to have you here!

Cool story, you know your woods!

Sorry for you loss Jimbo, your cousin was doing this country a great service that I'm thankful for. Please share the details if this gets off the ground, I'd love to contribute.

That really sucks for that guy. Should of just picked up his marbles and left, srew'em. Good for Buckmasters.

So oil dropped 8% yesterday, lets see how long it takes at the pump to come down...........not!

Link is bad?

Brother in law over in Schuyler county said all is quiet.

That some funny stuff!
