^^^ you mean a reversible camo/orange hat?

People like this neighbor & his kid think they have access to the property, regardless of it having a new owner & being posted. They'll continue trespassing until confronted. Which brings up the diplomatic tight-rope you have to walk. They need to be informed and "firmly" warned about repeat violations. In the end you don't want to create bad will for the neighbor and new owner when he physically moves in. Some people just don't get it or don't care. Had a similar situation on property I have sole hunting rights on. Casually warned the intruders the 1st two times. Third time I had to get right in their face, showed the trail cam photos of them trespassing and stated law enforcement would be involved if it happens again. They got the message. I informed the land owner of what I was going to do and got his buy-in beforehand.

Pretty typical of all crossbows.

Have to agree with G-Man. Over past ~15yrs in 8F the bucks in mid to late July are pretty much at 80% of what they'll be in bow season. May grow a little more mass & a few inches of tine length. By now they are pretty much what they'll be in the fall, less velvet covering. Not to say this "rule of thumb" may not be different in other areas of NYS.

Pretty ingenious system. Definitely less pucker.

Sometimes (esp small towns) when an inspector comes for an inspection, if they know the electrician, carpenter, plumber, etc it could end up merely a courtesy visit. On the other end of the spectrum, I'd unknowingly hired a lackadaisical roofer who overlooked getting a bldg permit. Inspector happened to drive by, stopped, saw no permit and threatened to shutdown the job. Fortunately I was home and scurried around contacting roofer and getting a proper permit. Moral is, it can go both ways.

Looks like someone was pounding in some wedges with a few of those axe heads.

If you're talking about hunting knives and tools, I've used what is called a whetstone all my life. Best size is ~2W"x6-7"Lx1"thk with dual sides & grits, 400 & 1000. One I specifically use is an oil (lubricant) stone. Would imagine you could use one for kitchen knives also, but I never have.

Just a suggestion, but Walmart stores have a self-serve photo lab that prints photos from a lot of different media. You get to view &/or edit your photo before printing it. IRC, there is no payment required until ready to print.

Read an article by a Whitetail Biologist stating a mature buck during the rut will typically travel ~5 miles from his home base. So to see a buck you've never encountered or caught on a trail cam isn't unusual. May also explain why some that may be around all summer seem to disappear in the fall.

Hopefully the Vet will check for an implanted chip. Looks painful. Hope that pooch learned his lesson about playing with porcupines!

Depends on the individual! I did none of the pre/post stuff mentioned above. First (Moderna) shot, I had no side effects at all. Second shot, had an injection soreness only.

Always heard aiming 1/2 way up the neck is the rule of thumb.

No beer cans where I like, but lots of fast food wrappers, bags & cups.

Congrats Binghamton, 103.4" of snowfall last winter. Beating runner-ups Buffalo, Rochester & Syracuse by more than 30". NYC had record snowfall, but only in the ~30" range.

Some wicked K-9s whatever it is.

Same thing happened to my Muck boots. I used Shoe Goo adhesive and it has held fine for ~3yrs of occasional use with only the initial application. Apply Goop, put sole back on, put boots on and stand on them for several minutes. BTW - The soles on Muck boots is only a reinforcing layer. Nothing to do with water proofing.

Footnote: When you make any noise to make a buck stop, he's probably going to end-up looking at you. So be prepared to shoot as you make the noise. I've stopped many bucks in their tracks using a doe bleat sound. Even after the (bow) shot they "may" stop for several seconds, reducing the retrieval somewhat or go down within sight.

Good luck with your career change! Never too old to do what makes you enjoy going to work.

Got my 2nd dose of the Moderna vaccine Wednesday. A little soreness at injection site & somewhat tired for a couple days. None of the other more, drastic reactions people are reporting. Everyone will have a different reaction to specific vaccines.

Believe she mentioned that no matter where she aimed, the arrow was still hitting the upper left of the target. JMO, not a sight pin adjustment fix.

Assuming we're talking about a compound bow? Probably how your using your release. If you're able to video yourself or have someone watch you, assuming your moving the release at the time you're letting the arrow fly. Nice soft, but firm squeeze on the release and not a hard or jerking motion. Probably a stupid question & just out of curiosity, are you using your dominant eye? I know people that are right handed, but have a dominant left eye. Assuming you don't have this same problem with scopes or shotguns.

Like others have suggested.. if you are hitting the same area of the bag/target, no matter where you're aiming, it's something in your form or release.

Some phenomenal middleweight boxers in that era.
