I have been using Hot Melt Wax for many years never a problem with aluminum or carbon arrows.Make sure your inserts are not too small for the arrow ID. You want a snug fitting insert to start with.Make sure to use a Q tip with acetone on both pieces first, real acetone Not nail polish remover, it has oil in it.

X2 on what said above. And we were happy just to get a buck and all were happy when One of the group got a Doe, that we shared the meat. As they say the more you get the more you want and You can make some of the people happy some of the time But not all of the people All of the Time. And I still say I Agree, because of how the heard has been depleated in my area.

Can any one age this buck and would you shoot him
thphm replied to apoallo's topic in Trail Camera Pictures
It will all come out when you have a chance to draw that Bow or pull that trigger if it is front of you,Your choice. I have let one in peticular walk from when it was a 5" spike at 1year plus, at 2-1/2 to 3 he was a very tempting 6 and at 4 he was a nice 8 still let him walk the following year he was a very nice 10,still had a chance but did not have it in my heart to do it. Every year just before and in the beginning of archery season he would bed in the same area. During gun season he was in hideing.I do not regret letting him walk every year.Sure would have made a nice trophey for someone if they got him last year. -
At 72 do not go up in trees any more,Back to how we did it when we started from the ground and play the wind. When I did I used a teather attatched to the Harness and A Climbing Rope with Knots in it every 2' as a safety. That rope saved my a** a few times.

With almost 60 years of all kind of hunting in N.Y. except for the last 7 years never used a trail camera. out of the last 7 years I only had 1 buck that I had pictures of on the trail camera come any where near a Bow shot and that was a 4 pointer ( can't shoot them ) where I live AR. I have had everything from spikes to and including 10 pointers.Seems as if the become nocternal during hunting season.Prire to that I think I enjoyed hunting more and we filled our tags almost every year.Private and state co ops included.

If I had it to do over again I would just spend the extra money and buy a Bob Cat or Cat. version of it. With tracks.For where I live and what I use it for all year long.

WD means water displacing, It's not a protective oil,It's a good cleaning solvent,That's it. Gun oil is made for protecting the metal parts of a gun,Hoppies or Remoil. They have been around for ages and still get the job done.

That is what we were taught in our suba diving class.But oysters don't work.

Ha Ha , You had to say that Mine did and had to get pulled out by another one.

Atv / Compact tractor, I have both. I maintain both Artic Cat with auto trans. ( and I have pulled a 1000 pound rated trailer full to the top with bluestone.) no problem still running strong. Compact tractor JD 790, 4 wheel drive, stick shift. ( Junk ) not really a JD. Overseases Junk with a green paint job.Just a front end loader, 3 point hitch and weight box in back.In back used a post hole digger, and York rake.Front diff. rebuilt 3 times under warentee and once by me.Do not but a compact tractor. Buy a real full size tractor.Even if it is a used one.And as a side note, I do not live on flat land, it's all Up and Down Hill.

How many does do you harvest???
thphm replied to Pav2704's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
None because there has been to many if it's brown it's down hunters comming up by me and still poaching going on. a lot less deer then when I moved to where I am now.I have not seen a more then 2 year old deer in 3 years.The ECON officer should throw every fine he can at thest SOB's. -
How do like this one last rifle season I am in the house eating and a UTV goes up the road very slow look in the direction of the front of my house. I know who it is a person that lives about a mile down the road from me,lived there before I bought my place. Retired business man not hurting for money.Had 2 of his down state friends on it with him, they cannot be hurtin for money because the drove up in a brand new fully decked out pickup. The next day I am down stairs in my garage, it was raining that day and I thought I heard voices outside, said to myself must be hearing things.The next morning I go out side and look at my rock garden which I had 7 good size pumpkins with corn stalks behind them. Said SOB . I drive down the road later on and the fellow that ownes the UTV now has 3 of the pumpkins and the corn stalks in front of the house,that were no there before. So on the way past the PO I stop and said to the post master boy there are some cheap ass SOB's in this town,knowing she is a talker. After that every time I and that fellow would bump into me he would avoid me and walk another direction.

For the last week by me it seems as if they never stop eating (everything ) even ate up my hosta plants again.In the morning I look out the bedroom window and the are out there eating the grass,then move to the apple trees then another spot with grass and it seems as if it never stops they just keep eating away..

IF it is before sunset you might get away with it depending the judge.As a former member of Deer Search Inc. We would have to notify the NYS police when and where we were retriving a deer or bear, we were allowed to carry a fire arm Not the hunter. Yet I know of hunters while archery huntying trying to get down from tree stands that had packs of wild dogs at the base of the tree not letting them get down, one I know shot 9 wild dogs to get down.t all depends on the judge if you get caught and go to court.Last year around me the ECON offesers were really inforcing the DEC laws.A lot of people got fined and went to court.

As a former L.I. resident I can also reccomend island wide, they have been there a long time, Parker bows are top notch. Go there and try out a few models and ( like a shoe ) see what fits best.Start out slow with the practice if this is new to you, You do not want to tear or pull something out just before bow season. As said above you have 3 months on L.I. Good luck hunting and enjoy.

I would go to your town hall and ask them and ask to see written proof of Yes or No . I know parts of Nassau county it is not legal.

THIS. Maby he should get ahold of SOB and go on one of his walk threw the woods events with his many target set ups.

Ha Ha , Just went crazy with my Trophy cam.thought it was water ,Had it out no pictures and when I switched to the set up the desplay would not work, but whe I set it up both times the red light came on ,as it should when switching to the on position,After 2 hours on the computer searching why. It wound up that the batteries they recommended ( expire.date 2018 ) 8 of them.4 of the 8 were below 1 volt instead of 1.5 or better. Put in 4 fresh ones and it works, which you can. I was just going to start a thred on Make sure you check your batteries for your trail camera.
