You will get 20 yards penalty for "unsportsmanlike conduct" :-)

wow, I checked NYSDEC nursery plant website and the prices are amazing, too bad paper birch is out but I will keep an eye on it. How's the quality, do they reach like 80% of growth rate per container? (as in 8 out of 10 will grow just fine). This is a great resource, thanks.

And the Oscar for the best picture goes to ...

Who is that Oscar guy and where does he hunt? -
you are slow...
-
How deep should it go? I already trimmed some bottom stuff, you saying the next two branches can also go?
-
Why is it sideways? How do I rotate this thing, this is not the original pic.

Got this baby today, a little bigger than I thought, it's about 8 ft. I will keep it warm and wet for a week or so then it will get planted, some freezing temps coming up tonight my shed will keep it safe I hope.

"...highly social..."? Not in the Americas, in Europe maybe you could say that they have gatherings before and after, feasting on the meat you just got, Jagermeister and full blown signals when it starts and when it ends. Here you trek for miles by your lonesome and hope your buddy answers the phone after you get that 12 pointer and need a hand dragging it...

If the ball is not involved it ain't a sport (exception for hockey puck). Do you need some ball(s) to hunt? You tell me :-)

"...still Weber after all these years..."

+1 on the video I would love to see that too. I read whole bunch of stuff about it and they all pretty much repeat what you already said. Unfortunately no one around has birch trees but I found today nice cuttings in the wild just couldn't get to it (too thick and too high), will get some more gear and get them tomorrow. The fun starts now :-)
-
Good tip AT, thanks. Does this go also for a wild paper birch growing somewhere in the woods? I can get plenty of cuttings from there. And then what? Normal "growth hormone treatment" in the glass and then plant it when they develop roots? That's easy and cheap too :-) I like it, worth the shot I guess.

I'm trying to update my front and backyard with some nice trees, looking to add some paper birch. I have scouted the web and local stores for prices and they are all over the place from $10 for a baby planter to $400 for semi-mature tree. Which is a better approach? To get them already big (for a price) or start small or even from seeds and hope for the best. What are the pros and cons to either besides the sticker price. What did you do on your property? Any tips on DO's and DON'Ts? Thanks....

70 degrees out there today, welcome back bugs and ticks... is it the beer or the calendar still says February? :-)

Damn it, I'm moving to Texas... :-)

There is always one that ruins for everybody...

turkeyfeathers is right, hit the ADK move only at night and no one would find you even the camera man...lol I didn't watch the show just heard about it but its kinda sign of the times when they make a TV show about just "staying out of sight". I would probably hitch the first truck out of town and keep doing that for 30 days. Also everything depends on location, to hide in the tri-state area is not that easy with all drones and cameras around but Alaska is another story.

"...I can show you a few places on public land in Orange County, NY that has no phone coverage, even on top of ridge staring at a paved public road less than 1 mile from a firehouse..." Ouch, that sucks... That always bothered me, we sent a man to the moon over 45 years ago and we could talk to them. By now every other utility pole or any tall structure should be wi-fi repeater or mini cell tower maintained by power companies and paid by taxes.. ok, my rant is over, 10-42 out
-
I don't think National Forest would have a coverage, with such vast land it would be 10 times worse than Adirondacks which is in the middle of a busy state. If NY is bad, VA has a potential to be even worse but I agree it all depends where exactly they are going. Alexandria, great coverage - Fort Valley or Shenandoah I doubt it. I have been there few times with no luck for cell.
-
Towers in Adirondacks? Yeah riight....
-
That's only for NYC, why?

I know it's a wheel gun but I can't complain about my Judge, never got an issue. I like the simplicity + flexibility (.410, .45LC, .45 ACP) and the punch and them accurate too.

Is that even a fish inside? :-)

Fret not beach, karma will get this guy sooner or later. Take the high road which I think you did. Don't let schmucks like that control how you feel. The deer Gods have something better waiting for you, just give it time.
