LET EM GROW

This is in Steuben county. My property in Macedon has a lot of Ash. Though recently timbered, they took a lot of it. Im not certain what shape they are in. Last i knew ash bore was not present. My buddy is very skilled "Tree guy" it is his full time job, and was his dads for 30 some years as well. They have their own business, he checks on them for us..

I have done that in the past. The results weren't much different from conventional tillage. IMO that would be closer Minimum Tillage. Still interrupting some soil, just keeping it to a "minimum" .

The ash are getting wiped out on our hill. I've been trying to drop them when possible. young and old, but they are dying off fast..

It has to be the difference between eye balls. I cant stand my .019" for longer shots. Its like a crap shoot, when the pin(and/or its brightness) is 5x the size of the bullzeye

Plenty bright, They have like 3-5' lenght of fiber optic behind it. had them on my last 5 pin sight. If your looking to shoot longer ranges, you'll be better off and probably more satisfied with the .010" pins

That is our exact thoughts and worries. But, the pharmacist suggested it, her dr and the nurse practitioner.. In their eyes its only a little added protection.. I jus thope it doesnt make her sick. Shes unhealthy more than shes healthy during the colder/cooler months.. I feel horrible for her

I (or maybe it was the kids) lost the TV remote a few times, and I turn into my 3 yo old daughter when she doesn't get her way when this happens lol. Only to be found when i set down and chill out and think about it for a bit. Luckily for me ive found everything I have "lost" .. guess i dropped my range finder in the yard one afternoon heading to the stand. Couldnt find it anywhere. Cut the grass and the mower found it! not sure what part of the mower hit it, but it still worked! even after being rained and mowed over for a week and a half. Im sure there i something i lost that was of some sort of value to me, but my brain cant seem to find anything lol

I have other pictures, that would put this pictures to shame, but I wont post for the sake of my neighbors. In winter (these were January of 2017) deer trails really stick out from up above. If I could i would get a good drone for accurate up to date aerial photos. Google, and Bing have not updated photos over my property since 2012. I will say a whole heck of a lot has changed since then. A lot has even changed here since these photos were taken. I was hoping to catch him this fall to take some more pics, while he was up from MO during Fall. Get the pretty colors of Fall and the lush Green plots, all in a picture from up above.. Thought they would make some neat pics. He also uses the drone to take to properties and people have paid for pictures of their piece. He is also hired by the AMA Supercross boys and girls, dirt track racing, rally racing etc.. He will follow them around the track with the drone and make some wild footage.

My youngest and wife both got theirs today. My daughter and oldest go Friday to have theirs. Not sure if ill get mine or not.

We are going to have her get the shot. Did some research and it cant hurt it seems. Its in her best interest, and the Doc said to, but i sometimes have a hard time trusting him and his ways, his decisions lately have made me wonder about his practices... Thanks everyone.

We have 2 of the axis in 7mm08(black syn), 243(pink muddy) and 6.5CM.. Also own a ruger american in 270. For the price i like the ruger american over the savage. But the savage axis still does what it is supposed to do.

My buddy came up and took some pictures of the property I own, and the neighbors i hunt, with his DJ phantom thingy.. Pics came out awesome. The capabilities of these things are crazy. His batteries were cold from being in the car all day, even though fully charged we only got 10 minutes run time because they were so cold. Kinda nerve racking when it tells you to "bring me home" because its dying .. and he is just sending it lol says it'll be OK .. These machines are awesome! I watched it all. Here is a couple pic of part of my own property.. If you look close to the second pic you can see us standing in the middle of the grass

Not to bring an old thread back to life, but since you did grampy. I have the Savage Axis in 7mm08 and absolutely hate the trigger, for a rifle. I think I may do the same as you've done here. Ill just poke through the reviews. For that price you cant beat it.

I told my wife the same thing. She wants to but has a hard time leaving cause he was her Dr when she was a child to. But we are both set on whatever is best for the kids. Im with you 100% man!! My thoughts exactly! As weak as her immune system is, we will get her the shot as it should help prevent or weaken the disease if it does get to her. We keep her inside as much as possible and try to keep air as clean as possible until warmer weather arrives.. Not sure if I will get it or not, probably only if it will benefit her. Otherwise i try to stay free of prescription meds if possible.. Especially after the young girl from Naples passed from the flu last year, I couldn't imagine losing a child of my own.

The Dr did recommend it. But this Dr i thought i could trust too, he missed the pneumonia for weeks when she had it and would listen to us. Begged him for the application for chest X rays and he finally gave it after several visits.. Guess what.. Pneumonia it was.. He makes me wonder if hes in it for the money or to help these kids. He also prescribes her meds for her ear infections that dont ever work and we continue to tell him, and he just states to "try it and go from there".. 3 different meds later leads to a liquid steroid to clear her up.. I guess that is why i was looking for opinions or situations here.. Something new to the both of us, and as my grandpa always stated with medical practices, to get several recommendations or opinions. She goes to a pulmonologist early March. I did hear too that they weren't super effective this year. But as long as there is no negative side to this I'm all aboard..

I need some advice on the Flu Shot.. Sorry if there is another thread, I didnt have a lot of time to look for it. I have never had the shot, I typically dont get sick at all. This year ive been sick on and off since November. Im not so much worried for me, But my 3yo Daughter. She has a mild case of asthma and allergies. She takes albuterol and a steroid nebualizer treatment daily throughout the course day during the fall, winter and spring months when it acts up. In Febraury of 2017 she caught pneumonia pretty bad and never really recovered for nearly 3 months, that leaves her prone to getting sick quicker now( I think) because her lungs have not fully healed yet. Anyways she gets sick easy now. My wife and the rest of the family have never got a flu shot before either, and dont have a problem getting one for our daughters sake. We're just nervous of her getting the shot if it will make her sick or not initially. I mean it sounds like its in her best interest to get the shot(scheduled appt. for this Friday 1/26/18). But mom and dad are stressing over it.. Hopefully we are just over reacting but we cant stand seeing her sick so much, shes a trooper but still... The fact of whats inside the shot makes us wonder/worry also lol... Anyways, does anyone have some opinions if its the right call for her to get one? Maybe theres some Dr.s here and or Nurses? And when she gets her shot, we all plan on getting one in her best interests.. Sorry for the ramble.. Its been bugging us Thanks, Bryan

For summer use, i have had good luck with amazon basics or a standard energizer battery. My cams snap alot of photos each season and they are good in warmer weather for a couple of months with the cheapos. When temps start getting colder I like to switch to Energizer lithiums. Ive also had good luck with the Rayovac batteries. The TSC Job smart batteries were ok, but some were crap.

Same here, I guess im not hurting nothing. Just look into fine tuning my gun knowledge and marksman skills some with these rifles. Just picked up a couple Hoppes gun cleaning kits over the weekend.

Not yet, but as i spend these rounds, I plan on keeping the brass to reload them. A Reloading setup is on my list for "wants" this year. I have buddies who have offered their equipment if I buy the die. So sooner or later i will be yes.

I shoot the HHA optimizer lite ultra single pin and love it. I bought 5519. The only things i dont like about mine is the 2" housing, I will replace with the 1-5/8" housing so it fits my peep better. and instead of .019" pins, i am getting the .010" pin. Maybe its just my eyes but to me the .019" pin is too big at longer distances of 40+ yrds. And I like to sling arrows as far as i can every so often.

Thanks guys.. Ive never had a real issue with accuracy yet from anything ive ever done. But I was always just sighting in for deer hunting closer ranges and didnt feel the desire for super tight groupings, until now lol. After i picked up these new guns, it was the first time ever hearing from several people to "make sure I break the gun barrel in properly" .. Well this was news to me. So i guess I wasn't sure if there were certain things to do and not do when first shooting a brand new gun.

So I've recently picked up a few rifles, that have yet to be shot. I've done a little research but have heard several different ways from different people/sources on how to properly "break in" a barrel for the best accuracy.. I used to just shoot til it was "zeroed" then clean it. I'm sure this may be the worse thing for them, but I was young, and my family never owned rifles. With these new guns, and any new gun from this day forward I want to properly break in the barrel? Whats everyone's thoughts on the Proper way to do this?? I've been told to "Varnish" with a special lube after each shot, for as many shots as possible the first time shooting the gun. I have been told to shoot a round or 2 then run solvent patch down the barrel and shoot another round or 2 through it and continue the process.. As well as a few other ways. There are many people here, much smarter than I, on the gun topic, so I thought Id ask you all the best or proper way(s) to break in a rifle barrel. I want to designate these couple to guns long range shooting. Thanks in advance! If it matters, the new calibers are .270, 6.5 C'moor and 22-250

If you offered this in Bow season I would have been all over it. Film some of your hunts with the vid cam?

he is a she! lol The neighbor anyways lol

Yes, the same person who hit him with the 270, is the same person that missed with a bow this year. The buck in both trail cam pics
