    How times have changed in an instant. I bought this sleeve in late Aug or 1st week in Sept in 2019 . I bought a sleeve of Win 209's , a sleeve of Triple 777 primers , and this sleeve of CCI 209 Magnum primers at the same time . The Win and the Triple 7 was $3.95 and the CCI Magnums you can see were $4.25 .  The sad part is I dont even need or use the magnum primers . I use the Pyrodex and Triple 7 pellets which the other primers work just fine with . If there was a way to send them to you I would.

    Believe me, as impossible as they are to find, I would almost drive to NH to get them! LOL  I can't imagine what's causing the shortage! Some shops have told me they haven't had any 209 primers in over a year! Just crazy!

    The fawn came in this morning without it's pal. I thought it was coming to the spilled seed under the bird feeder, but it just walked right past it. The hen will usually run across the yard to the bird feeder first.

    This pic looks like she wants to ask if we've seen the hen around! LOL

  3. I've been having a hen come in my yard for the past couple of weeks. Earlier this week, my wife sent me a pic of the hen, a fawn and a doe all in a line coming out into the yard. Since then, they've been coming out to feed together pretty regularly. It's funny watching the fawn trail the hen around the yard and it tries hard to play with it! It gallops circles around the hen acting like a puppy trying to play with an old dog, but she's just not having it! I pulled some trail cam cards today and it seems like the two hang together quite a bit! LOL

  4. Interesting. Thanks for posting. I wish NY would do a similar study. I’ve been at my current property for 2 years now, but have yet to see a poult! There’s been 6 hens in the immediate area each year, but I’ve never seen a poult with any of them. Have a few gobblers around in the spring available to breed the hens.

    Last year I started trapping nest raiders and hunting predators, hoping that would help. I took out 28 coons, 23 possums, 6 skunks, and 12 fox. Yet, still no poults around this summer…

    I haven’t hunted turkey at all, as I don’t think we have any to spare and want to keep what we have for seed. None of the surrounding neighbors hunt them either, so that’s not an issue. Just no poult recruitment… I don’t get it…??

  5. I cut a lot in the woods behind the house this year, mainly buckthorn and honey suckle. It opened up the canopy and the increased sunlight to the ground made me wonder how broadcasting some fall seed would do. I did some research and read where some guys broadcasted Antler King Honey Hole in open areas of the woods and it grew really well. Figured what the hell and did the same as a little experiment. Deer have an abundance of ag all around me, so I don't know how much of an attraction it will be, but it's offering something different anyways. It's actually right next to a corn field, so hoping it might be a spot they'll hit before and/or after feeding in the corn. I broadcasted the seed 7 days ago and it seems to be growing well. Time will tell!
