Would you like to adopt a 56 year old young man before your next African trip?

Very awesome, congrats!

He is having a full mount done with the stone sheep. I think he needs a bigger house

Seems like all critters love clover

Law You are correct, I tend to get booking agents and baseball players mixed up

Too bad your not in New Jersey. 50 yard rule for bowhunting.

He paid $100.00 and signed me up as a new member to The Hunting Fool last year, they are a hunting booking company. He was entitled to a couple of raffle tickets for doing so. A girl from their office called him a few days later and asked which hunt/ raffle box to drop his raffle tickets in for him. He told her to just put them in a box with the least amount of tickets in it, not knowing which hunt she put them in. A couple of months later Gary Carter who had owned Hunting Fool called him to inform him that he just won a $30,000.00 stone sheep hunt to the Yukon. Now he calls me his lucky charm! He signed me up again this year too, I guess he is hoping lightning will strike twice. Stone Sheep is 37.5" and 10 years old Alaska Yukon Moose is 52" wide and green scores 205" Not bad for a $100.00 investment Although, he will have a huge taxidermy bill in 6 months

My buddy won a trip to the Yukon this year, here are the results!

Not true, just ask anyone that hunts New Jersey.

A guide that I hunted with in Idaho told me that he never packed a bear out that weighed more than 30 lbs. Just the hide

Only if it is a color phase, not about to happen in NY though

We are in Delaware County, Sidney. This is the first bear that I got on camera on my land, but I've seen a couple in the area over the years. Bears will eat just about anything. Out west they are hunted during the spring hunting seasons where areas of clover are known to be. Along side logging roads and avalanche shoots. I got to see this bear up close a couple of times this year, he let me get about 20 yards from him while I was on the tractor, he's a younster at only about 150 lbs.

Sounds like Kurt Fox is up to his old tricks again

So this is why my clover has been missing

I agree, some people are not happy unless they are arguing.

Ditto on Kurt Fox

I would keep it trimmed to 6", cutting it stimulates new tender growth that the deer love.

Looks good. Here is another invention that a friend developed. My buddy gerry rigged a back pack leaf blower by adding a seed hopper inline with the blower hose. He adjusts the drop rate depending on what size seed he is sowing. All he has to do is just walk around his plot blowing seed everywhere. No more hand cranking and ultra fast too. What is the mother fo invention?

McDowell & Walker in Afton. Talk to Sue, they will spread it for you also

just planted my turnips last weekend. Clover and WR mix the weekend before. The rye is already 6" tall

My friend in Idaho was a wheat farmer for many years before he put his 700 acres of crop land in CRP. This year he planted 4 acres close to his house in Garbanzo beans "aka chickpeas", it is a legume. He says the muledeer & whitetails are hammering his field every day with 2 huge bucks making appearences during midday hours. I have not heard of anybody planting garbanzos around here, has anybody tried these beans in thier NY plots, if so, how did they work out?

My trees have very few apples this year, nothing like the bumper crop like last year.

Unit 61 is a great unit. Have you hired an outfitter or are you going to do a DIY?

I have collected old bottles that I have found in the woods for over 40 years. Now have quite a collection and have them displayed. The prior owner of the land that I have now had shown me where up on my hill there was an old shack that is pretty much rotten down to the ground now. He said the owner before him told him it was used to house a still to refine potent potables during the prohibition days. I found a beautiful whiskey bottle 10 yards from it 2 years later. My wife thinks I'm nuts bringing home the old bottles, but it is history to me.

I was in the Gander Mountain in Middletown last month. I could not find a person on the sales floor to help me with clothing and the dressing rooms were locked with no body around to open for me. I went to the sales person in the front of the store and still no help. That was the last time I will ever step foot in one of their stores. The shelves were only half full and it looked like a ghost town with hardly anyone shopping. I guess they heard Cabelas is coming to Woodbury to kick their butt.
