  1. I'm looking for info on guinea hens or chickens to control ticks. I have no experience with raising fowl. I have 2 dogs with a fenced back yard the ticks are crazy already in march. I need to something to combat these suckers. any info on housing and caring for these birds is helpful thx
  2. yes this area in 4r and 4g where I hunt looks very squachtee. No wonder theres no deer! I saw that episode because they said was the catskills- it wasnt. The next time I have someone encroach on me in public land before light Im gonna smack a tree acouple times and then howl like a baboon.
  3. Throw the book at them. poachers SUCK!!
  4. I have a vx2 on a rem 740 auto .280 its great. I broke a tasco and a bushnell just target shooting I got the vx2 from cabelas for 199 money well spent. I have shot my friends gun with a nikon at targets and like it too. I guess it comes down to what you wanna spend, I think leupold and nikon are both well made. I only have experience with the leup and I would definitely buy another.
  5. I get to my spot well before light. On opening day and the second day I will sit all day. Let others push the deer around. I keep my flashlight handy to signal any latecomers to keep walking (I'm on public land). If I havent shot anything on the third or fourth day I will still hunt during the middle of the day. I just read somewhere that most big bucks are shot between 10 and 2.
  6. ive seen many small bucks travelling daytime this week. this weekend should be good got a stand on the edge of a doe bedding area , just been waiting for the right time. I m hunting in 4r mostly and have 1 stand on 4g.
  7. congrats I envy you but am glad too. I wish the 2 ahole poachers in my town would move or die or something. This year I'm gonna catch these bastard$.
  8. yes I'm glad those guys in catskill got busted. its easy to catch spawning eyes. I suppose they were "sportsmen" who got caught in a weak moment. I carry my cell only for emergency or if I see some "sportsman" breakin the law. I damn sure will use it.
  9. great link , thanks for the info
  10. I bought it 2 years ago and love it. I wear glasses for astigmatism and had a hard time with peep sights in low light and for consistent shooting in general. Once it was installed and lined up my accuracy improved greatly. Like someone else said, it virtually eliminates torque. When I draw now its automatic on pin- no trying to line up eye with peep with sight. highly recommend!!!
  11. I shoot 777 pellets. I read on here someone said to use windex to clean the bore. Being that I am cheap and had windex in the house, I gave it a whirl and damn if it didnt work great!! I dont use bore butter (too cheap) I run patches soaked with wd40 and wipe everything outside with wd as well.
  12. POACHERS!! I also have the dec tipline in my cell phone and I will use it. Finding garbage, not only in the woods but around here the idiots leave bags by the side of the road. And it always seems to be the on the right side of the road leading towards the thruway. I have actually pawed thru bags looking for names, numbers etc. I would LOVE to catch one of these scumbags leaving their garbage- its usually on a sunday too because I see it when I go to work at 5 on monday mornings. Take it home with you I dont want to look at it!!!!
  13. another set of 20ft climbing sticks, a cap for my pickup, a new plastic tote to store my clothes in.
  14. I try to walk around feb/ march depending on snow depth. right after snow melt is optimal because u can still see scrapes and rub lines before everything starts growing.
  15. wztirem what state land in scho. county do u hunt? I live in conesville and hunt the state land and dep lands around here and some in greene county. I agree that the further u can get off the beaten path the better odds u will have. most public land i hunt is way better during bow season with less pressure. and usually after opening week of gun its quiet but, less deer activity until m/z.
