Much harder being a kid today than it was for me back in the 60's.-70's. I agree that social media plays a big part on the kids of today. Not all good for sure.

Hay is ready to cut. But way too wet to get in the fields!

Good advice!!

Thank you all very much !! I guess it's all good, when you don't feel how old ya are!!

Happy Birthday Tim!

I'm happy to see that you are still never wrong, and deal only in facts.

Happy Birthday my friend!

Some good and bad here, there, everywhere. Why does it need to be us vs them? And why do some act like children. C'mon man.......grow up.

Sometimes........even with change. Some things stay the same.

Times two!!!

I hope you have many years ahead of you Eddie! You are one of the great guy's I miss the most! We all have our own reasons for staying here, or sharing another site. We can do both!!! That's the way it should be!! No argument from me there! I never saw anything as a competition!! There isn't any hard feelings either!! Except for burmjohn, but that has no bearing on all but 'one blowhard', who have decided to ride it out here. I also have learned so much from airdale over the years, and will always value his opinion! I still read his posts here! Again, I never have bashed this site! I don't come here trying to "steal" members either! Both places will be what they are!! And we can all make our own choices. We don't have to discredit anyone for choosing where they want to spend their time!! It's ALL good!

burmjohn bailed on this site years ago! He took members money for merch, and bailed on that too! I know for fact, that the owner from "the other NY outdoors forum" tried unsuccessfully to purchase this site for over two years! He wanted to keep this place going!! With the old, and new members coming, like it used to be, to keep it growing.. But again burmjohn bailed! So.....this place will certainly die a slow painful death, like a gut shot deer, with no chance of living on. There are still some guy's here that I have huge respect for!! Doc is surely among them. I check in here periodically just to see what's up. But rarely post anymore, because I was made to feel unwelcome by some members here, because I joined the "other" site too. Like so many others did from here. So be it. I don't think I'm missed much here. But I can guarantee, that if anyone joins the"other" site, they will be welcomed!!! It's growing over there!! With new members, and ideas coming in all the time! And even free give aways to members from the owner!! Imagine that here?? And you can still come here too, you don't have to give this up. I haven't.. Like I said, some great members here that I've shared ideas with for years. And value their content and experience greatly!! As a chosen moderator on the "otherside" I will be among the first to welcome you!! It never was 'us against them' for me. It doesn't have to be for those holdouts here either. You can do both, and enjoy getting answers to your posts again

There are other sites????

Happy Birthday Doc! All the best to you sir.

Ruff looks like a great pup! He will do fine for you. If I can help in any way, with tips training for blood tracking, just shoot me a PM or ask here. I will always be happy to help.

Al, are you referring to FS's??? As you described him perfectly! And I agree with you 100%

I'm not jealous of I'm not in the least jealous of you Mayor. I've worked my entire life to be your polar opposite. Quite successfully may I add, too. But I do encourage going to www.fourseasonswhitetails.com

So.....it's ok for deer farms to ship out deer that may, or may not have CWD, to areas where it has not been established?

No, I don't either Paula. So nice to see you around!! I hope you and your pups are doing well. Best of luck to you this season young lady!!

Doc, this all goes back to when burmjohn took members money for merch that was never delivered. After that, burmjohn went MIA. This was some of the reason members went to NYWAW. This is all very regrettable, as I enjoyed being a member here for many years. There are still some really good people here. But most have went elsewhere. I still continue to visit here, though the content has been reduced greatly over the last few months. I was even made to feel unwelcome by a couple die hard members here, because I chose to visit the other forum too. So I've been posting less myself. I'm no tech expert. But I do know, any site left unattended, will eventually pick up bad things like spyware and other not so pleasant things. Hence the "new members" are likely, really not new members at all. burmjohn is the only administrator who can approve new members......period. And where is he the last couple years?? And without new growth, even a mighty oak tree withers and dies eventually. We've all seen that out in the woods.

Eddie, I hope you keep going like that Ever Ready Bunny!!! I have always had the utmost respect for you! You might be looking at the NJ, WaW site?? There is a NY site too. And though the owner is a NJ native, he hunts and fishes NY, as well as his home state. The vast majority of members are from NY, discussing NY topics. Not to take anything from this site. As there are members who visit both, with no issues.

Happy Birthday Eddie!! All the best to you sir!!

Thank you everyone!!

Prayers sent.

That is spooky for sure!!! What the heck!!
