New York Hillbilly

Welcome!

Well then there you go. Deer are not afraid of horses. But, they should be if they are Amish! LOL!

Got a 7M landowner permit, and a 7J. I need to find someplace to hunt in 7J now.

Never mind I got rid of my thoughts because ..........the whole topic makes me sad!

Now I know I'm blind.............I never saw the coyote in the last picture. No wonder I saw so few deer this year. LOL!

I must need better glasses.....lol.........looks like a red fox to me.

Whooooo hoooooo!

steve863.....i'm home sick with pneumonia (i think) and your response bout made me damn near choke to death laughing. This is cold and flu season and the first time in a year I had to miss a day due to sickness, so I got to thinking, "why is this kid home and not in school?" Maybe he has a bad fever and a little foggy on the details of his story. In any event it was an interesting read and I could picture it in my mind. Gotta like the story telling ability, true or not. LOL! Who knew Gilbertsville would be home to the next Steven King and maybe the 91 pound coyote was really Cujo. Keep the stories coming Robinson446...I like to read them and the responses to them as well. Oh and if you are home from school sick, I hope you feel better soon so you can get back to school.

Deer to me from what I can see from here.

Yeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaa!

Congrats! Nice paint job!

Welcome aboard!

The dog does look half starved to me. Little doubt in my mind the hungry animal killed them to survive and now is protecting it's kill. The owner should be prosecuted for animal cruelty and made to pay you back for the loss of your animals. If on my property, over my dead pet, in that physical condition and coming at me barking to protect it's food source which was my former pets, it would be shot on the spot. I put up with a lot of crap over the years with other people's dogs running deer, getting into garbage on my property and just hanging out being a nuisance, and have never once put a target on one. But, if any had ever threatened the safety of me, my family, or my pets........game over! Dog is starved, dog standing guard over my dead pets, dog now growling and threatening me............= dead dog, call to DEC and a court date for neighbor. Sorry about your loss and problem with jerk neighbors. Keep safe!

Or............."mouse-turd".....lol!

That sandwich just needs a little "cat-chup" LOL!

rtozer, What can you tell me about life in San Angelo? I have a recruiter that tried to get me to move there and I was afraid there would be more hunting for me, so I passed for the time being.

Two thumbs up........one for the video and one for the music! Nice shoot placement as well....or should I say "arrow deliverance". LOL!

Prices vary a great deal. Less work than a wood stove. If power goes out you're sunk with the pellet stove. Can vent them easily and easier to clean than wood in my opinion. Biggest downside as far as I'm concerned is the mechanical/electrical aspect of them. If you are handy and can fix things on your own (I do) it takes the bite out, but parts are pricey, and if you use as your only source you might consider keeping a few spare parts around. For my models the augar motors have been the weakest link. Both are better than oil though as far as I'm concerned if only for the shove it factor.

lol..............good one Bubba....lol

never mind i'm moving on from this one......

I feel ill!

Yup........big difference with the hardwood. Usually 3 1/2 tons a year for me as well, to heat just under 2400 SQ FT. Pretty cheap compared to oil, but still a lot of work for the pleasure of flipping off the oil companies.

I have not purchased a gallon of oil in 5 years now. It was not only about the freaking money but about making the criminal oil companies richer. Yup how often do we hear "drill baby drill" but then see our oil being sold to the highest bidder over seas. Just like the insurance companies, the oil companies have lots of money to buy lots of time on the TV to portray themselves as our "friends", "neighbors" and about doing good. Yeh.....right! Keep puking down everyone's throats and winning them over. In the meantime we can talk to each other from our deer stands, send pictures to our computers from the darkest most remote places on earth (and off earth), yet we still need to scour the woods or carry forty pound bags of wood pellets on our backs to heat our homes. When it comes to heating our homes how is this any different than a third world country? On one hand I love my pellet stoves because it shoves it up the A$$ of the oil companies (even if only in a very small way) and on the other it infuriates me because of the grip they have over us on keeping us dependent on them. I worked on boilers and furnaces for years and can tell you getting them to burn alternative fuel is easy and is the way to go rather than making fuel for highly computerized cars. Make a cheap bio based fuel for heating and you would glut the market with oil and force them to take the next couple steps to refine it to gas to get rid of it. In effect you could knock the bottom right out from under them. Stop worrying about making bio gas for cars, just make it for heating and running industrial boilers and watch what would happen. Anyway, in the meantime I guess I'll stick with my pellet stove to stay warm and grumble about my sore back while lugging the bags into the house. Sorry about the venting!

Welcome aboard!

Tell him you plan to post your story in the editorial section of the local news paper to serve as a warning for anyone else thinking of making the same mistake.
