Don't want to be down wind of you!........

Welcome. Glad to have you stop by!

You guys/ gals on this site are awesome
grampy replied to turkeyfeathers's topic in General Chit Chat
I too have to say, that this site is the best darn hunting site going! Never once, since I've been a member. Have I seen someone that needed help and did not get it. There is such a wealth of experience in just about anything outdoors from our members. And it's given freely to anyone that asks. I have been on the receiving end many, many times and tried to help when I could. And we are all together much more than we are ever set apart by our differences. I'm proud to be a member here. -

How to Tie a Prussic Knot
grampy replied to fasteddie's topic in DIY - Do It Yourself, tutorials and videos
Thanks for posting this! IMO, it's the best way to stay safe from the moment you step off the ground. Climbing up or down, is when most falls happen. This is a very easy DIY lifeline! -
You absolutely have the best of two world's going for you now. Enjoy them both!

Very nice catch! Some of the best filets of any fish right there! When's the fish fry?

I took my nephew with me to fish Saratoga Lake yesterday. He's only 20 but an accomplished tournament angler with three wins under his belt. We caught a bunch of fish, he caught more. I caught a few nice ones he caught the biggest. All my spots did produce fish, he told me why they were there. I used my usual baits that always work for me , he used totally different baits. In the end, I learned some stuff and we equally had a great time!

If you buy the arrows there the cost is usually free. I was quoted last week from Havock Archery one dollar per arrow to cut and glue inserts. On arrows I was given.

I did pretty good. I know 1 when I see 1.

I have a question. Did you actually pass HS math, or were you the class genius or teachers pet?

Prevailing wind direction in my area during hunting season is NNW.

Just kidding. Ive met her and she is very nice!

Very nice! You are good to go now! Looks like we are back on for Thatcher! I bet it shoots as good as it looks! Best of luck!

The kids loved Willie Wonka! Always heard he was a great guy off camera too. Very funny man. RIP.....

He's made millions of dollars playing a game. Been coddled since beginning college. Paid more millions for endorsements. I'll bet there are millions of folks, black and white that would love to be so oppressed. Myself included. Our constitution gives every citizen the right to protest. I'll respect his right. But not him.

I used to use them quite a bit and this is what worked for me. One on left and right same hight spaced about 20 inches apart. I would always step and bring the other foot up to level with the other. And always had 4 levels of contact to the tree. And would go higher than the stand to step down slightly when entering and a slight step up when going down. Seemed like less effort climbing and desending plus felt safer and more secure, even though it takes more steps. And ALWAYS stay safe and strap in!

C'MON MAN !

Teaching him the three point anchor. Kisser button, tip of nose and ear lobe. Proper grip and form. He soaks it all in. Good student. I'm no archery instructor but know the basics to get him going. I've been playing around with bows for 30+ years. So far all good! Having a good bow is a huge benefit too.

Great pic's! I gotta get out west to fish with some of you guy's!

Endwell are the Little League World Champs!!
grampy replied to The_Real_TCIII's topic in General Chit Chat
All's well in Endwell! We watched the game today. A real nail biter! And an awesome championship! Congratulations to those kids, coaches and all who supported them. Way to go! -
We got it all set up today! Added a whisker biscuit pro, a kisser button, cut arrows to length and backed off the draw weight to 55 pounds. The bow came with an awesome spot hog sight. Got everything squared up and I shot it and made a couple small sight adjustments. And handed him his bow. These are his first three arrows! Our local deer population should be very afraid this year! He is so happy! I'm so proud. Thanks Tacks.

These are literally the first shots from my grandson and his new bow. Finished getting it set up for him today. Not bad! He will be taking his bow course September 17th. He still has lots of practicing to do before hunting season. One of the proudest moments in my life will be when I watch him take his first deer! Thanks again Tacks!

Big Boy fits! Awesome buck. Hope to see you in a picture with him this fall! Best of luck!
