Absolutely beautiful my friend! The detail work is astounding. Your artistic talent knows no boundaries! I love how each one is different and original. Keep em coming!

Mine would get that look when I said, 'treat' !

The Dems are still butt hurt that Clinton lost. And Obama ran out of time. Get over it! Move on! I think politics in this country now, especially from the left, is deplorable! Bunch of whiney, crying babies, that didn't get their way.

No doubt the doc's are mapping out a plan of action for you. My thoughts and prayers continue, for a full and complete recovery my friend.

Right next to the aquarium there is a little village of shops. Nice place to walk and browse. Oh... and the ducks in there are pretty cool too! Just up from that is a steakhouse that is very good, sorry forgot the name. Mystic pizza is a great place to have a meal as well. They have more than pizza, and prices are reasonable. Right in town, near the draw bridge, there is a little park right on the water, to just sit back and relax. Very peaceful there. Some nice shops in town too, that the Mrs. may like to walk through. Mine does! Mystic is a cool place. Been there a number of times. Have fun!

Great work from dog and handler Tom! Not so much for the hunter on this one.

My wife costs me much more than the plots. I've kept her around for decades. It's something you love. So money well spent. No matter what you do, for something you love, or any hobbie, it will cost you dollars. Well worth the price for the happiness gained IMO.

Nice Buck!! Welcome, great to have you join in on the forum! Best of luck this season!

Sure is! We have two good college teams in the area, RPI and Union.

BIG bear! One glance is all it takes to see that. Mid to high 300s.

I've done some pretty stupid stuff back in the day. How did I avoid this?? But who knows, maybe I did and don't remember? Lot of stuff I don't remember from those days!.........grin

I buy nothing from Dicks.

Dang, sorry to hear about that Steve. I had right rotator cuff and ligament repair last year on May 4th. Wasn't able to draw my bow until September. Did kill a buck, though I'm still having problems with it. Left shoulder needs the same thing done, but I'm putting it off! Don't do anything untill you talk to the doc. Maybe you got lucky with minimal damage? You will know more after talking to him/her. Thoughts and prayers coming to ya. Good luck.

Lets Go Red Wings! I don't watch a lot. But I still enjoy a good hockey game now and then. Go to a few AHL games in Albany and Glens Falls each year. Grandson's, their friends, and I always have a good time. And it's affordable good hockey.

100% they are wolves. Coyotes are shaped different. Most obvious is the rounded muzzles of a wolf. Yotes are much more pointed in the snout. The long lanky legs is another give away for the wolf. I have seen hundreds of coyotes in the wild. What's in the pic's just looks different to me. The pic's were taken in Minnesota, not New York! Wolves are somewhat common there.

Some nice markings on that one!! I usually get a crack at one each season, while deer hunting.

Beautiful rifle! Nothing like a nice piece of walnut, surrounding blued steel! Get out and shoot that tack driver! Oh.....and congratulations!

Since they moved opening day to the 1st, I'm not real serious until mid to late October. First up for me will be accompanying my grandson for youth season. Early bow hunting for me, will be at the lake property. Always plenty of early action there. And won't sit my good stands until I'm pretty sure the deer I'm looking for are on their feet, later in the month.

Dandy buck! Hope you put your tag on him!

Welcome! Best of luck this season! Pull up a seat and join in with us.

He uses the PA chest girth measurement. Can't argue with that!

After going back and looking at "the fat boy in the back", he does have the deeper chest of a three year old, compared to the two year old in the forefront of the pic. Regardless, it seems like you have a nice selection of bucks to hunt this year Tacks!!! Now this critter! He may lean out a bit during the rut! But definitely a mature specimen.................grin

Awesome pic's Rob!!! I too was caught up looking at the sunset splendor last evening.

If your approach is from below #4, with a NW wind, draw a line between #2 and #4. Right in the middle of that line is where I would set up. That will be a staging area for deer scent checking the field. Here you will be far enough off the field to take advantage of movement, without being scented by the deer you are hunting. Also when those crops are cut, deer will tend to filter through there to eyeball as well as scent check to "see who's out there". Check the area I'm suggesting for rubs and scrapes. Think you may find some there. Good luck! Looks like a good property.

You are soooo lucky. Someone was looking over you. Ya still got work to do here. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers Eddie. Rest up. Get stronger. Do all you can do. And thanks for the reminder, that none of us has any guarantees.
