Ours too. Not sure where they do leak but it’s happened a few times in 50 years. That and of course turning the gas on and not lighting it... or waiting too long and losing some hair on your hand lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m a big diy guy, but some things aren’t worth the risk. Whole family depends on me, I’d hate to wreck myself over $100, good call Eddie. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

One issue besides heat with lights are that they can leak. Grandparents cabin has them, can be dangerous with kids and visitors. Trying to get my parents cabin to use as much solar as possible, propane will always run out during the apocalypse. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Chris welcome to the club buddy! We meet Tuesday afternoons and rotate beer and pizza duties. We’re on chapter 34 of our book. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

People should stop reading and responding to these, you’ll always be left confused and possibly blocked if you ask too many intelligent clarifying questions. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If I could switch barrels it’d be my mossberg 835. Don’t have a slug barrel but I’d get one. Can basically kill everything with it... but don’t tell my wife that! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Out cabin in the Dak is solar. We do use propane for stove and fridge, but I believe there’s enough juice for a fridge. With led lights the only real energy hog is the pump used to drive the well water. Oh and an on demand propane water heater. All the comforts of home minus A/C. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never unless bloodied do I wash outer layers. Wash the skin tight stuff every few sits as they trap body orders and not a fan of reusing undies. Most other layers are only washed a few times a year. Everything is hang dried and usually outside of the weather cooperates. Just use the dryer for carbon reactivation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you’ve had a supersportsman at one point you should be able to show your old license to a clerk/cashier and they can renew it. Your ID doesn’t change. NY does not check that you’re still a resident, it’s an honesty system. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s really it in a nut shell. I’m glad I filled a tag during bow and of course in hindsight I’d have used a dmp too had I been able to forecast this situation. Is what it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did this in my last house except with a leaf blower. Wear a hat and crappy coat but it works. New house uses guards that are doing a good job so far in the 2 falls I’ve been there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Come on. don't be that guy. Your advice was for me to deal with it. It's a story that by writing down helped me feel better. Some good advice given. Some bitching and moaning was had. It doesn't need to go this route.

i'm not saying i'm justified. I'm not saying it was illegal. Just venting man. that's it.

yeah the point is that he texted me he shot a medium sized doe. we pull the cams and it's fawn. Dont get me wrong, there are some absolute donkeys back there, bu I guess my dad has a pic of him doing the rambo pose in front of the camera too. Of course, no harm no foul, but clearly we're dealing with a special kind of human (new hunter or not). yes and honestly this is something that i knew would be an issue someday. All neighbors and dad are in their 60's. I have 3 boys under 5 that are probably going to want to hunt someday. I knew that eventually I would need to buy hunting land. At some point the parents will downsize or father time will win his undefeated battle. It's just a bummer when it happens. I spent 4 months looking for a house with land on the east side of rochester. with a $350k budget i would have thought it wouldn't have been too hard. but it wasn't to be. I will be looking into the permission, leasing game with the plan to buy some land and build my retirement castle someday.

i'll be there on my return home thursday! yay airports!

no just the 1. i think you're spot on. no high horse. just a small piece of property that has been relatively carefully managed for a long time. Kid shows up, doesn't tell anyone he's there and starts dropping fawns. You can see why that would annoy someone at least? If you don't at least understand why it would annoy another hunter, I have a feeling it's never happened to you, or you have a lot of good land.

the great defender for people not asking to be defended has joined the party everyone

turns out it's a little worse than thought. Dad pulled cams yesterday. I guess he hunted this past Saturday as well without a heads up. Only difference is that we didn't cross paths. "medium size doe" is what he claimed to have shot... turns out it was a fawn

go to the dmv and do a state transfer. they take your old one and give you a new one with whatever privileges and restrictions you have. I've done this both leaving and coming back it's pretty easy. Then when you get your license id # you'll need that AND your safety course certs. Sometimes you can look these up. with those 2 or 3 items if you bowhunt too you'll be set for your license.

trust me it crossed my mind. And honestly, everything I've typed has been accurate and I don't believe I insulted him at all. Maybe it would be good for him to read it and understand a little better.

I'm not petty enough to air out others identities on the forum. For all I know he's a lurker here. I'm trying to keep this civil. i have really been bouncing this around in my head since Sunday. From the obvious extremes of booby trapping him to just giving up. I think we all go through the wide spectrum of ideas when faced with a situation that is somewhat out of our control. I've tentatively settled on 2 things. Wait it out as there's not much time left of gun season and to start looking for more land to hunt, including my wife's grandpas farm. This is something I've been toying with anyhow as our land really can't handle the pressure. I do believe this will start me on a long off season campaign to find some land to hunt. this is exactly the problem. It's honestly small for just my dad and I. What I've left out of this story is that the neighbors to the east hunt the back 10 during gun. They even hunt our back 5 and their own small piece north of the creek. They've never asked anybody for permission and my dad not being a gun hunter has never cared so long as they don't mess up the bow season. What you essentially have is 6 to 10 hunters on about 80 acres with another 80 or so north of us that is off limits except to a small group. The small group hasn't been hunting this year which has created a sanctuary. Oh and did i mention the fields to the far west of the block are also hunted? And across the road to the south was all farm land and bought up and posted and QMD'd with food plots and what not? lol. it's enough to drive a man to drink... more. they just married this year. My dad has talked to the neighbor a few times before and since. Their relationship is well established and good and there's no indication that he's going to boot my dad. But yes it's on the table.
