Glad you guy's are OK. Saw that bad pile up on the Thruway, watching the evening news. Bad stuff. Though winters anywhere in NY, are no cake walk. The folks from the Buffalo and Tug Hill areas are a hearty bunch indeed, from all the lake effect weather. Keep safe everyone. Seems like this winter, is going to be a "real" NY winter this year.

It takes many different insights to make a successful forum, like we have here. I miss the many insights that growalot brought to this forum.

Just like anything else, you get out of it, what you put into it. Deep down, I think your 'friend" knows that too.

For walking, fumbling, or finding things in the dark, while predator hunting, I just use a small red lense LED headlamp. It doesn't bother what you are hunting for.

Yes, Fox Pro are absolutely the best. But on sale now at Dicks is the Hunter Specialties, Johnny Stewart, Attractor Max for $49.99. About half of what I paid three years ago! This was my first E-caller. You can download quite a few different calls, and the few that come with it are ok. It is quite loud, and we did call in a pair of yotes with it. At the price, it is a good caller to get you started. It was for me. Good luck out there! Have fun!

Big thumbs up to you buddy! The people on this site are second to none! It's been proven, time and time again. Really looking forward to following turkeyfeather's archery endeavors! Culminating in his smiling face on the bow harvest thread 2018! Good stuff!

Welcome! Glad you finally decided to join us! LI has some good hunting and fishing. Look forward to hearing more from ya!

They look great, and taste even better, I'll bet! Perfect day for this kind of labor of love! Enjoy! Yum!

Happy Birthday! Happy New Year! Wish you all the best in 2018!

Hey, I know where your coming from. Got a grandson into hunting that I'm so proud of too. And I've posted a bunch of pictures on here of him shooting. But I've never posted a video of him, because I'm not sure how to do it from my phone or tablet. If I knew how, I'd share it with ya. Just hang in there, someone will chip in here. I'd really like to see your grandson shooting his bow! Can ya post pictures? Kid pictures are always popular here. So don't be getting riled up. Oh, and Happy New Year to ya! Woods time with the grandson in 2018 is something to look forward to!

The Ruger mini 14. There is one in the for sale section, that has me on the edge of my seat. Lots of add on's and things you can do with it.

His photography, deer knowledge, writing and hunting skills, lunar rut charts, and down to earth manner, set him a step above most of the outdoor media types. Condolences to his family and friends. He will be sorely missed. RIP Charlie.

Oh yeah......pick up moog5050 on the way here! Now that would be epic!

Happy Birthday! Enjoy all that comes your way today sir.

I would like to add that I'm fortunate enough to have well over 500 acres between two properties of land to hunt. Though we are separated by a four plus hour drive, Jay you and your daughter will always have an open invitation to hunt here with me. Even have two spare bedrooms here at the homestead! Would love to have you anytime! Roadtrip???

There is no doubt that Jay, aka Turkeyfeathers is one awesome hombre! I had the pleasure of meeting him, and some other great guy's from WNY, in person last bow season. Thanks to an invite from moog, another awesome hombre! I'm certain, that everyone there, will never forget "The Wheel"! .....lol. Jay's sense of humor is not matched by many! There is no doubt that TF's has the hunting skills, to be an awesome bow hunter, should he decide to join the ranks! I have a bunch of assorted archery stuff, like rests, sights, arrows and things that I would be willing to send out to him. If I had an extra working bow, I'd send that too! The idea of getting together with some local guys to shoot with him is a great one! And the crossbow is definitely a great idea too! (I got some extra stuff for that too.) So whataya say, TF, will 2018 be the year we see your smiling mug, in a picture with a bow killed deer? Hope so!

Sending you the Happiest of Birthday wishes my friend!

Since my teens, anything by Jack London.

I have not ice fished the last two years, as ice conditions were not perfect enough for me. They are getting close to perfect now on the small lakes that I like to go to. I enjoy spending a few hours out there with a jigging rod and a few tip ups. Used to be quite a few of us that would go. Now I mostly go solo. Though my grandson and one of his friends want to go, so that will be fun! And those pan fish filets are so tasty, when I get home!

You are right, of course. And you truly are a wise man Larry. Doing the "right" thing for the young ones, is never wrong. Because two wrongs, do not make a "right". I should have known this. My apologies for insinuating otherwise. But I still feel Andy is a Dick-Tater! And in time, the young ones can decide for themselves.

Beautiful pup!

Purchased pre safe act?................................If so, wasn't the gun ALWAYS "his" all along????

He legally can not take possession until paperwork is complete. So says Andy the DICK-tater. But hasn't your nephew really owned that gun since birth????..........................

Mowin is armed, and no one is getting his bacon!

Yum! Dang that looks good! Whats for beakfast?
