Folding Chairs for Ground Blinds
wztirem posted a topic in Hunting Gear Reviews and Gear Discussions
I was in the local WallyWorld/WalMart today and they were having a clearance sale on those type chairs which fold up and can be carried in a sack. The price was right at $7.00 each. I picked up three dark green ones which I intend to leave at several stand locations for the upcoming gun season. One less piece of equipment to carry in the woods and I could care less if someone stole them. -

Anyone have any thoughts.

]Each year many hunters harvest buck fawns, commonly called "button bucks," on antler less deer licenses. Though legal, harvesting these deer may reduce the number of antlered bucks the following year. By learning the difference between adult does and buck fawns and observing the following suggestions, hunters can make a conscious choice about whether to harvest a buck fawn. Look at body shapes of deer. Adult does are different in shape from juvenile deer. The mature doe is rectangular in shape with a long neck and face. Fawns are square-shaped and have a short neck and face. Button bucks often travel alone, but adult does rarely do. Consider this when you observe a single antler less deer. Wait until more than three deer are together; then harvest one of the larger antler less deer. If two juvenile deer are without an adult, one will probably be a button buck. Normally the young male is larger than the female and may be mistaken for an adult doe because of its larger size. Look at the head of the deer. A doe's head normally is more rounded on top between the ears, and a buck's head is flattened by the base of the antlers. Look closely with binoculars for the antler bases on button bucks. Wait until the deer are standing or moving slowly. It is easier to identify sex and age when deer are not running or moving fast. Shoot with good visibility. Poor light and heavy cover make it difficult to determine sex and age. This topic was widely discussed on the Old Empire Forum and remains as important now as it was then.

You are correct CC. Look at all the different balls the pros play. Their equipment is matched to their physical size, swing plane, ball flight etc to get maximum performance. I am 6 foot 3 and have a long swing plane and could generate a lot of club head speed before hurting my shoulder. I played two to three times a week with a ten handicap. I have used the balls and they make a difference to golfers who generate a lot of club head speed.

I was out at the Lab this morning, deer all over the place! Some decent sized bucks.

Who is ready for the "Southern Zone" Oct 16th opener!?!
wztirem replied to burmjohn's topic in Bow Hunting
Bow Hunting is probably out for me,the shoulder has not healed enough after surgery to seriously practice. I have shot the bow several times for the past two weeks, but it hurts too much still. My wife is beside herself and she told the doctor, who told me to stop. I thought all the PT and exercises would get me ready, but I still not healed sufficiently. We will see though, I have not given up. Eventually, I will suck it up and get out in the field or else go stir crazy. -

Ralph has money problems as do other teams which are exacerbated in this uncapped year.The NFL bubble is about to burst. Lynch is crazy, they perhaps did the right thing in getting rid of him while he still had some value. For teams such as the Bills, they better hope that in the next collective bargaining agreement a rookie scale/cap will be negotiated. I do not know what the top price for a Bills ticket is, but Jets tickets and all other NY sports teams are beyond my means.

C'mon, Doc, your comment is baseless and just your opinion. You are referencing hearsay and intimating that such "side comments" are factual. You should know better, shame on you!

If this was really a frequently asked question, then we have a issues... That was a poacher with a crossbow asking the question. He just wanted to make sure what he was doing was illegal! LOL Now that is a truly funny comment.

"The woodshed seemed to be the tipping point on the Empire site. The rest of the board dried up and the woodshed got too hot. It killed the site. Doing something similar would not be good for this site either" That may have been a contributing factor, however sites such as these are seasonal and it takes a lot of work to keep a site that serves a specific niche alive and interesting. You are spot on with your statement: it is important " to keep a nice happy medium" and to date the moderators have succeeded.

I have mentored my sons and five of my nephews. Unfortunately, all are either away at school,consumed by work, controlled by their girlfriends or some other constraint upon their time; which makes it very difficult for them to find time to hunt. For the past several years my son and several of my nephews have hunted Thanksgiving morning with a modicum of success.

Doc, At the rate hunters are leaving the sport in NY, in the future one can expect the DEC to increase bag limits to control the deer population.
