Went to my first 3D shoot of the season. Actually it was a summer league. Rainy and showed up later. Shot a 305 out of 330. Who else is shooting in them post some pictures? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

used to do a spread with crazy variety. just not worth the work. now stick to high yield and stuff that we eat from being canned or frozen into the winter. not crazy about plan jane tomatoes but tomatoe paste and sauce i use for a lot of things. whole garden is fenced in now with chicken wire. God rest the sole of the critter that gets in there and tries to make it out a live. lol i don't do berries because i don't want the work of wire overhead for the birds. to water the garden all i do is turn on a hose bib early in the morning before i get ready for work.

finding a spot for rhubarb but that's not really a garden item just something to grow and let it do it's thing.

Started some plants earlier like tomatoes, various peppers, and a few zucchini. just put in onions and seed for garden beans. room for a few more things but trying to decide in a hurry what to do. Good thing i did as it's solid rain in the forecast all week and then some. Cucumbers and pumpkins might be going in too. Anyone else have their garden growing?

took a huge poplar down between the garage and the house. it was a bit much for me even with my dad's truck and a long rope. still have another on the other side. female too so it looks like it snowing with all the floating seed right now. PITA.

we don't get hardly any here at the foothills of the dacks. one year over 10 years ago we got one that came through just on the other side of a hill top. my parent's place is a hill with about 500 feet of elevation change with a couple converging valleys running into it facing north so they were lucky. not a mile away though my relatives had an entire concrete silo picked up and dropped on top of a free stall dairy barn. not a hundred feet away the multi-story house had a whole side ripped off. you could see into every room like a doll house. other side of the house there was a things undisturbed as small as a barn jacket draped over a porch railing. quarter mile away there was full sheets of tin from the barn roof, horse shoed around tree tops 30+ feet off the ground. the path of the tornado looked like a clear cut through the timber spanning across multiple townships. sh*t is crazy. glad we don't have them much at all.

i've been to Oklahoma and Kansas. Never saw a tornado and i'm glad.

we're seeing more bear around here and across the boarder into VT but almost all are between 150-300 dressed and plenty mature enough when the tooth results came back. i feel any record bear weight wise will end up being a dumpster or dump bear from suburbs. i'll take length and skull size over that kind of weight any day of the week. can't taste that great, especially compared to a bear on corn, alfalfa, and berries.

i don't have anything that has recoil that harsh. definitely depends on the gun not just the caliber. My ML loaded to the max with a heavy sabot and 150gr is more of a push and not bad, especially with the Prohunter stock. My Benelli 12ga pump has shooting 3.5" Hevi-shot Dead Coyote with T-shot isn't even that bad with the comfortech stock. all my 30-06s don't compare much. even dad's 7600 30-06 with just a plastic butt plate. old 12ga pump winchester 1897 with no recoil pad and heavy slugs was not great but the weight of the gun made it tolerable but still not pleasant. did shoot dad's old model 70 300 win mag that had a significantly hard rubber recoil pad and some heavy bullets. it was enough i noticed and wouldn't want to shoot a lot. i don't know what it was but i shot an old metal butt plate single shot 10ga shotgun was some portion of the barrel hacked off. it was some kind of slug and it wasn't pleasant at all. i managed it but had no intention of shooting it again. it was brought out basically for the punishment and to see who would shoot it after the first sucker. so i guess i'm sticking with the trend on here. some in my inner deer hunting circles won't hunt with anything less than a 45-70 or 338-06 but i know of many family and friends that won't shoot anything more than a 270 or 308.

couple weeks ago out this way we had a bad storm roll through with lots of wind. took 1/4 of the roof off one of my parent's barns. tipped over a hay/kicker wagon. then blew another one clear across the barn yard into the corner of my car. it wasn't a tornado that we had a couple times in the past that i remember but still intense. people were out power for days and BIG trees down everywhere.

seems to be the standard design now is an angled peep opening and split the string in two. the technoHunt is fun to shoot. depending on the software they could any animal, reptile, or critter that you can think of. sometimes they get a little quirky and don't register the hit exactly where it was but close enough for fun. i used to do a whole league of it at one shop with a bunch of older gentlemen. we all shot traditional bows with no sights or bells and whistles. it was lots of fun. long story a turtle jumped my string once. grampy hang in there, don't rush it, and you'll be shooting again for a long time.

back in college i was on a collegiate design competition team. we took a Honda Silverwing scooter motor and stuffed it in a snowmobile chassis with a big turbocharger and intercooler. despite it was still a scooter motor and capable of being pretty quiet, it couldn't have sounded more bad a$$ with the boost and waste gate dumping.

i was looking at them the other day. i've got no time and currently growing some mast trees from seed so i passed.

with 91 octane non-ethanol it goes i bet! .....like 5 mph faster than an old man with a rolled up newpaper, shouting profanity, with bad cramps, and 3 seconds from a heart attack. even faster if it's freshly waxed too.

it's red. you'd surely get a ticket.

love hearing the story. i'd hate to take the arrow from you now. i'll tell ya what... you keep the arrow and I'll give you the orginal price of $45. deal! awesome! ....now that we broke the ice, where is your most prized treestand location? I'd love to hear about that and all the stories that go with it.

both occurred at night and were found by hunters or landowners the next day. both bucks were by no means record book bucks either, as it was figured out after the fact. one was found by a father and young son hunting pair that had hopes of getting the youth on a buck that morning. instead they spent the morning making phone calls and loading a rotting carcass into the utv.

....don't bother calling though if you enjoy seeing pictures like these local NY bucks or this same thing in your area. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

we just have one final step for this bill! by all means call Senator Flanagan's office (518-455-2071) to tell him how important preventing poaching is to you and tell him bill S387 needs to be scheduled for a vote by the full senate!

why not ask the ECO's in your area? they'd ultimately be the ones writing a ticket.

.

NASP and this stuff is all a step in the right direction.

hunt hard to make him proud and share the memories at camp fires. sorry for your loss of a great friend.
