  1. Ya they are on the wall in the shop, one was in the D&C ( Roch. Newspaper)Do,I have digital ones? No, could take a shot of the wall sometime. But the thing is its kept on the down low,this years trail cam pics I had to visit the farmer to see them as they don't send them. Once you send to one guy then he sends it to 2 more and the next thing you know it's on a hunting forum ,which is NOT what we want. When a local stops me at the road or such and he asked how'd you make out? My answer is always the same. couple of does..... Last thing I'd do,is show him pics. Or tell him what's around.
  2. I hunt a 3000 acre farm. We manage it as do some of the neighbors .one year a 170 ,160 ,and 150 class bucks were taken . Trail cam. Pics from this year look promising ..... And no we don't post them lol.
  3. Had no idea they were out yet... 8h always plenty and he farm gets a stack of dmaps,so no worry .
  4. I walked over there from my hotel ,those racks are not from the area, the guy not to,friendly . But for $800 you can have that big drop tine one.
  5. Beginning of the season she says, " see you around Christmas" ! That said things I want to get done soon,new driveway ,well that's just a phone call and check, new front steps, replace carpet with hardwoods in family room, redo 1/2 bath off family room, paint garage doors,stain pool deck,insulate attic some more , fix brick walk. Now add in the repair to my boat motor,2 college tuition bills ,paying for my Lasik,lets see Ontairo county is now rifle, so ill need one of those..... This is a darn pricey month !
  6. Sorry to hear that , I know id be pissed. I'm going down right now to hang 2 stands and cameras,re do some posted signs. In 25 years never had anything stolen ,yet I cross my fingers each time I go down! Yes late start this year
  7. I don't know. Most have a head or two,seen some really bad mounts up here. I don't know of one with a lot of heads, but I ve not been in all the restaurants.
  8. Best wedding gifts I got were a backpack stove and a day pack. Heck every other gift was for her....
  9. Couple weeks past we were at Hinckley res. a little south of here, turkeys all over the place !
  10. I'm staying in town,waiting for wife who's in bathroom so we can get breakfast, its 10 30.... Yes South Shore and all around Nicks Lake last night. I've hunted Moose River Plains ,as well as Nicks Lake in years
  11. Nice to see some other Surefire fans.by the best cry only once... Btw you can get the 123A batteries for about a buck a piece online. Try Battery Junction. All U.S. 123 A 's are made by one manufactor , so ignor the "brand" I think a Surefire or a Bob Dozier knife would be remembered .
  12. I wonder how many of these get poached up here , you can hand feed 'em. Had 2 walk 10 feet from me while I was smoking a cigar in a chair .... Sorry bad pics. Forgot camera just ave ipad.
  13. I could have worked it for free as a emt No thanks hate crowds not a golf fan .... I think it's 60k to join . There are LOTS of folks with big money up,here. Have no idea where they work ,Dr.s Lawyers,business owners ,lots of old money around here as well. Gotta keep,in mind our housing costs are a fraction of downstate, no parking fees, restaurant costs much less, short cheap commutes and on and on. So a guy making 250k can live like a king, well maybe a prince.... I do great on far less.
  14. Been using cut on contacts for years,first Mangus swedged 2 blades then Stingers with bleeders .Fly the same as my field points, great on bone better on deer,I feel they don't feel the hit like pencil points or chisel points. Most drop,within sight ,I think I tracked 2 out of my last 10 or so. They just don't run off full speed, they run a couple steps stop look around fall over....... Blood trails ranged from great to a couple spotty ones,. If you put a stinger where you,should it should be a fast and easy recovery All complete pass throughs head buried 6 inches into the dirt.again good angles and a hit in the boiler room and that should happen anyway.
  15. I'm a 15 to 20 foot guy as well. But I also found many guys can't guess the height of their stands very well at all, when you hang em bring a line with knots at 15 and 20 feet and see. I walked over and touched stands with an arrow, when the guy said it was 15 feet up...
  16. Great NYS has entered the 2,000's ! Biggest problem for my kid was finding 3 nights, 5 30 to 10 30 ( with drive time) in one week to take the class,same for others I knew. As it was she barely cracked the book and said it was the easiest test she ever took! She got her BS Summa cum laude and some of her classes she did mostly online work,seldom going to class, so ya I think a hunter safety class on line is no big deal and about time. Show up once to show what you know and how you handle a gun and be done with it.
  17. There are some real slobs in the city of Roch. In the river bottom by Genny brewery.
  18. I've had the Dr.Give me pills which worked ok, but the shot I got once cleared things up in a day, don't know what it was though. What helped me a lot, is washing up after getting out of the woods.i carry soap ,water and a rag in my trunk, and often a rag and water bottle with me in the woods if I'm wearing shorts and t shirts.
  19. I wear glasses and use a face mask. Works well 90% of the time for me, sometimes fogs up like when a nice buck comes in........ Been thinking of trying make up,but getting LASIK done on my eyes this Wed. So no more fogging glasses or glasses at all!
  20. Here is my 64 Starcraft all original with my waterski spotter of the last 25 years or so. Thought you might like to see it. Good luck on your project.
  21. Late to the party I know....I don't have a crystal ball either, what I do have is life experience. I ve had guys call to do some last minute shooting and had little or no ammo on hand for a gun or 2 . I've watched politicians from King Andy's Dad on down come after guns.I saw Obama elected TWICE . I jumped on the .380 craze a few years back and could buy one box on ball ammo with the gun for thirty some dollars.... I remember buying reloads for 5 bucks a box,getting 50 cents back when I turned the cases back in. Hum could it be ammo will always trend up? Who could have thought that ? Crap it was in the '80 s when we were visiting the great state of AZ that my wife suggested we buy some handguns there,so NYS would not know of them, even an almost non gun person knew they would not stop coming after our guns . note the word suggested...... In case anyone out there wants to collect the $500 reward! I don't line up at stores, I buy bulk ammo when I can , sure smooths out the bumps in the supply chain.
  22. Guess I went back in time when I posted, that should be 2,004 not 1,994..... Hum gin and tonic time machine .
  23. I drive a '94 Buick Le Sabre Custom . One winter on it, 50 k miles. Payed 6k figure on driving it another 8 years. I have 3 rules for buying cars. Never by new. I refuse to pay full retail for the fastest deprecating asset on earth..... Never get a loan . I never in almost 40 years of driving had a loan. Never wait till you need a car to buy a car. Is a 94 Buick cool? Nope. but neither of my kids having college loans sure is !
  24. Wow thats crazy! I drive 24 miles round trip 13 or 14 days a month .park for free no tolls. And yes I believe NYC puts in more than takes out.
