Actualy the best kitchen knives are made in Japan, they have been making the best cuttlery for centuries. I use Dexter brand knives for everything, not that expensive amd stay sharp for a long time,other the the ones I have made myself 50 years ago and are still cutting great..
-
Ever think of using choke and carb. cleaner, it is made to remove carbon and dirt.Watch out with brakekleen not too good for you ,breathing or spilling on your skin.
-
If you want a sharp knife or other cutting tools buy a paper wheel. that is how razor blades are sharpened when they are made.Or visit an old time barber. As azhunteress replacable blades are another way to go.Dr's usem them on scaples. Use one of the kitchen plastic or natural brissle brushes to clean them, air dry them and put them in a protective plastic.sleeve.

If you are shooting a 100 yards or less,A heavy bullet as 200 grain and up can be your best friend.Speed does not always kill energy does.

The sunrise to sunset rule could also be to save the people that wear camo from head to toe so they can blend into the background and not be seen. As for eyesight getting worst as you get older Not True with everyone.When I was in my 50's and some time before I had to wear distance glasses to pass my eye test fo driving now 20 years later I no longer need them.Tests given by my eye Dr. , Regular Dr. and at the MV office. But I do need reading glasses for bills, books and the news paper. By me I have not heard 1 shot this year before or after legal shooting hours.

X2 on the above.

Either sex = a doe or a buck with 3 points or more on one side. Anterless = a doe , if you screw up and shoot a button buck.I would think it depends on the ECON officer. Remember all of the proper tags have to be filled out after the deer is found.Not when you get back to camp.
-
Depends on what you call Twigs. If you ever bow hunted you would find out how they can scr** up a shot.
-
The one thing that any of the articles on this never said if the person that got shot is (Was he wearing any Orange at all.) It is a shame and the shooter most likley will never get a nights sleep for shooting a friend. Condelences to the familey.
-
Nice one,Congrats.And the orange vest did not spooki it.
-
Warm and windy weather,with less hunters to push them.They were just lieing down all day and feeding at night. That is how it has been by me.
-
When I started there were no climers or ladder stands, all was on the ground then I bought a climer got older and then bought a ladder stand ( have not used it for 2 years.Then I bought a ground blind,that fell apart ( was out 24/7 ) now I use a strap on swivel seat on a tree.It's all about where you post.

On L.I. Deer swimming in the great sout bay was common seen them many times while surf casting.Also have seen them swimming from PA to NY in the Delaware River and across ponds where we hunted in Sullivan county.
-
Yesterday nothing close to me until 9:30 AM Just 2 shots. Very few after that. This morning could not tell went food shopping,nothing after that rainy and windy here most of the day. A lot of pain in the a$$ road hunters though creeping around everywhere.
-
Got a rosey face from the sun today,that's it. Let the does walk too warm out.

At ( closser to ) 73 I woke up or maby didn't sleep all night.Rolled out of bed at 6:00 Am. Made brekfaste and waited to hit the john.By me all private land. No one pushing deer.I found it is a wast of time heading out in the dark.After hitting the john 2 times I headed out around 8:00 AM to one of my wood pile ground blinds.Past 4 does bedded on my ATV. They just looked at me and nodded there heads as I rode by.To cut it short the only shots near me were at 9:30 am, just 2.The does bedded down all day about 75 yards and stayed there till 3:30 PM and started brousing.Big daddy bdidn"t show up.Tommorow looks halfway good untill the PM, Then rain and very heavy winds.Did haver my orange hat on though.
-
Not 1 shot here untill 9:30 then 1 and 1 a litte after that.Hope the got it.On the way up to my natural blind 3 does were bedded they got up went up 1 level to there usual spot and bedded down again about 75 yards on the same level as me,they got up once during that time to relive themselves.When we left 4 hours they just laeyed ther and watched us drive away on the ATV.
-
I hope the apples fell off of a tree not put there,Big No No.Don't get caught.
-
It is 5:15 here and it is dark out. I hope he has some lights so he can see what he is shooting at. Some people wait untill the last minute,
-
Going to start out at 30 degrees here in the morning,Then go to 50 degrees. Doc is right layers tommorow.Washing and dry ing everything now.
-
Doc. the does and a spike that would come and feed around early morning and evening are not comming around at that time either.I still have some apples falling and when I get up in the morming they are gone.
-
At least there not doing it 9:00 - 10:00 PM. like my parttime neighbor.( weekender ) .
-
On the other hand the deer are more relaxed that way.The warm spell starts here Sat. the 16 th. then it will be rain gear weather for a few days.
-
This has been going on for many years,I bet they are selling just the cap with the antlers attached,That's why we hang ours in a unheated building as a barn. I guess you have to hang your trail cameras near the hanging deer.
