Theyve threatened it enough. People also bow hunt in gun season now anyways so orange is moot.

EBIDX%3AIT 2015 Brownings. the 5 and 7 are red IR. The 6 and 8 are Blackflash. These prices won't last long. Both FHDs take incredible videos. The 6/8 blackflash cams take good quality night vids for black flash. Nighttime pics for the 6/8 are so-so at best, but serviceable. All vids are limited to 10 seconds at night, but don't let it stop you from buying. These cams can re-trigger video as fast as you can say "IlikebigbucksandIcannotlie." (Seriously) All of these cams use multi-spot metering and not the average...meaning these cams adjust illumination and exposure on the fly to ensure a quality pic. This is nearly unique to Browning at the moment in mass market cams. I haven't seen another company do this yet, but maybe one exists...I know Moultrie, Primos, and Browning are not, and same w/Covert. The 7 is the best overall value on a $ basis, as long as you don't mind red IR. I am very partial to blackflash due to buck avoidance, but I'd still buy the 5/7 in a heartbeat because of their performance (limiting their video use to plots and open areas or hung high aimed down). Are these cams infallable? No, but they are turning out to be the mass market cams of the year so far in 2015, especially after a dismal 2014 across the various manufacturers.

For the "overpopulation" areas, they're going to hammer the ability to shoot bucks to force doe harvest. There's so many options on the table...OBR, EAB, 4 pt a side AR, the gun season in bow, antlerless only bow season, etc. I still think the primary weapon of choice is going to be the gun hunt in bow season. What will be interesting is if they try to force BOTH the first two weeks of bow as antlerless only AND put in a gun season in bow. Face it, 2015 is going to be the last decent hunting season for a while as these changes come into play and create the new norm.

All the poor OP did was post a trail cam pic.

They are not all that common here in NY for some reason, but when I was in Ohio a local store carried Harvester on the shelf, so I bought a couple packs of the Scorpion in 300gr to use out of an old CVA Wolf with only a single 50 gr. 777 pellet. Pretty much was a loaner to my FIL to see if he liked ML hunting, which he did. I took it out and killed a doe with it at about 25 yards, but it seemed to be accurate out to 75 with enough energy to kill (conservatively). Expansion was decent considering the lack of blazing speed/energy. I wish Harvester was more available locally. Really interested in the PT Golds.

Looks like a good first soak! Only one tweak to that cam set, probably moving the cam to face slightly more to the right to take advantage of that open area. Other than that, it was a great first set-up! He nailed the nighttime flash being centered on the area where the deer move. Good to see he got a buck on cam, too. Those are always fun to get!

Not alot...maybe 3-5 bags of 50lb.

Frustrating. Even beyond the impact of the deer, just having people walk by while hunting is frustrating to me at times from a relaxation and heightened sense perspective. Last year, sitting in a stand, I had two young 20's stroll off the public parcel onto the private and literally set up a picnic 30 yards from me. Honest mistake, I watched them walk in and could see how they might miss the signs on that path. Still, when they broke out the sandwiches and fruit, I had to get down and let them know. I didn't want to see desert, if you know what I mean. Not exactly the looker, was she.

Brassicas going to bolt are not as palatable as brassica timed right when the frosts hit to convert starches to sugars. The bolting process takes the stored energy into the seeding effort leaving less conversion of the sugar content, reducing the desire for deer to consume it. Lignen content (in the stem) also goes up and as we know, deer don't get the nutrient they desire out of it as much. That's why in the early days of plotting, those in the business really pushed big leafy growth traits in colvers and reduced stem growth.

Thanks Grow...just to be clear they do have 46-0-0 in stock? Just out of turnips? I have about a pound of daikon radish left if you need some, we won't need it.

dermestid beetles are a commitment I am not willing to make with a wife and kids. I do not want to be divorced, again.

It'll be fine. As long as the grass competition dies out from a pending cleth application, brassicas are pretty easy to at least get "decent." My urea pellet search is more of an attempt to get from decent to really really really darn good.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I was hoping I'd find something a little more central to Rochester than Turner/Hemlock since it's directly away from where I need to get it spread. Thought about the foliar liquid sprays too, GJS4, but I've never done it and always hear of people who bemoan getting it applied at the proper rate (sprayer calibration can be hard with a backpack sprayer or even alot of the ATV ones). I know the pellets still exists, it's just seasonal as someone mentioned and only a handful of places maintain a stock on hand.

Negative on the furnace. Only thing that didn't get wet in the floods. Sits about 4-5 feet off the ground. Got real close....as in touching the casing, but never entered.

This summer is going by faster than any other. Probably feels that way each new summer, though. Work thankfully hasn't been too demanding the past 30-45 days. Got in a little fishing, and a decent amount of hunting related work despite the lack of free time this summer. Got some work done around the house - new fan, lights in kitchen, ripping out carpet and replacing w/linoleum in the dog room and a couple other things. Even managed to get away with the wife for a short trip to the falls without the kiddo (at grandparent's house). Have a cruise next month with entire family (15 people) and really looking forward to that since it's probably our last "hoorah" as one group. A couple people are much older and no longer mobile and spry. Since we're spread out up and down the east coast, this is the first time we'll all have been together in about 4-5 years. It should be alot of fun, however, and we'll make the most of it. I think everyone knows its our last shibang together so people have stashed away rainy day funds to blow this week up. Furnace crapped out right at the last bit of cold weather in early May, and that's my August project. Haven't even bothered to diagnose it yet. Chances are its toast being 23-25 years old, so can't complain. Once that's done...fall!!!!!!

Family Guy is a riot, but at the same time the writing is brilliant. The social commentary is mixed into every aspect of it.

Where in Rochester area? Called a few places and nobody seems to have it. Not looking for farm-sized quantity, which probably makes it more difficult. Never really used Urea before and typically relied on basic triple digit granular fert.

Animals have a built-in mechanism to survive. Its just hardwired into them.. I've killed alot of deer in my time hunting. Clean kills are exponentially favorable because it quickly removes the ability for the deer to fight to survive. Contrary to belief, including my desire to want to believe it, animals are not resigned to their fate. Even when fate is slow and inevitable, they will fight to survive. When those situations come, I just do what I need to do to end it. I am appreciative of the chase, the process, and the results, and the benefit the process/result has on me, my friends, my family, and the environment. I once caught a coon in a coilspring dirthole set. I was using a 1.5cs and it was a solid front foot catch, and it was on the money, so to speak. I was checking after work and it was dark. Once I realized I had caught a real nice boar coon and he had managed to get tangled into some vines/multiflora, I had to go back to retrieve my .22 to dispatch him rather than my usual method. He was simply too tangled otherwise. I left and returned to an animal who had decided life was worth living and had made it halfway through his leg just below the joint. Chewing away. It was a pretty vicious site and the sound of that animal gnawing through its own attached bone is something I can still hear to this day. I immediately dispatched the animal and went on my way, and sold him green for $10 or so. Would have earned more money but he wrecked his hide up a bit. Graphic story, yes. Probably not an encounter for everyone. But, the following year, distemper broke out because the coon population was still too high, and mother nature took her much uglier, more graphic course, complete with neighbors and me all having run-ins with coons midday in garages, houses, barns, etc. At the end of the day there is a chain, if the chain is broken, those effects are often much worse, as I interpret them. We are stewards - we take, but we also give when taking appropriately. As a result, it lessens my issues with death in those situations. Still sad, but at the same time, its a part of the cycle. I also love deer jerky and coon hats.

The world drastically changes not with each generation, but rather in much smaller time increments, and the pace of change is growing. For example: It took from the beginning of time until 1900 to reach 1.5 billion people on this planet. We now have 7 billion. In 115 years, the earth went from 1.5 billion to 7...think about that for a second. From the beginning of time until the 1800's the fastest a human could go was around 20 mph on horseback. When trains reached speeds of 100 mph in the early 1900s, there was talk amongst the scientific community that it could be dangerous to humans, that people could literally lose their minds traveling that fast. In less than a mere 40 years, humans went from 100 mph to around 400 mph in military war planes (WWII). In 1960, we broke the sound barrier. Today, manned space travel flies at more than 17,500 mph. Complacency kills. This generation is no different than the ones prior to it in that regard, and no worse or better. As a society, specialization is the social norm and is becoming a requirement in many cases to achieve success by today's social standards. Specialization probably creates some of this complacency that we see by its very nature because there is not enough education, exposure, and experience with content or situations outside of that specialization.

31 Thanks!

Yes, thats the delay in turning off. Some Moultries do that too. Law...the vids, longer than 10 sec at night? I must not be following the problem you had. You set a 10 sec. Video but get longer? These cams cant take vids longer than ten sec at night.

Nice animals, although your beard is more impressive.

I just thought of NYC. I may or may not have vomited in my throat.

I'll be thinking about you guys that day...on a boat in the Caribbean.
