Live from the thruway... had a meeting in Buffalo and on the way back to Roch I bet I saw 25 deer. I’m ready for hunting season! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That guy is solid muscle. He knows antlers are just for show.

I'll be sneaking in a few extra days of bowhunting in the Northern Zone on Sept 28-29. No good bow treestand setups on the property, so Ill be trying to take one from the ground a la @Biz-R-OWorld

Look what I found in my brother-in-law‘s fridge! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shoot and eat him someday. In 3 years or tomorrow,... either way I’m OK with your decision.

Looks good to me! And Westminster oyster crackers... possibly the only good thing coming from Rutland VT

This revolver was recovered from ground zero and is on display at the NRA museum. It belonged to police office Walter Weaver who was killed on 9/11. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was in class my jr year of high school. My best friends dad was a teacher and he came down and pulled us out of class. I remember thinking we were in trouble for some dumb shit we did the night before. I wish that’s all it was.

If there's one thing that Pygmy is serious about... its eating beaver.

While you sort out what to do with it... think about protecting the nearby trees from damage. The easiest way to do this is to wrap them with fencing. Even if they don't cut them down, a beaver can girdle a tree in no time.

This is great. "Cuomo is my long lost grandson" HAAA!

Biz... you cook more lamb than anyone I know. Do you season or marinade before you grill?

Definitely post the property... but you can also do this: Q. Must I post to keep people off my property? A. No. Trespassing is illegal even on unposted property. Instead of posting, a landowner or other authorized person may issue written notice to another informing them that they are prohibited from a property. The notice must contain a description of the property, what restrictions apply (hunting, fishing, trapping) and the person or persons prohibited from entry. It should be delivered by certified mail or other processes to prove that the person was served. At any time, anyone asked to leave the premises, posted or not, by the landowner, occupant or other authorized person, must do so immediately.

CONGRATS!!

That seems like fair approach. Just be ready to talk to him again, as it sounds like you will likely encounter him (and others) as the season goes on. Be clear with your statements, that things have changed on the property. You lease it, have sole permission to hunt, and will not tolerate trespassing or shooting over the line. This guy should not be rewarded because he lives nearby, used to hunt there, or doesn't bow hunt. His goal with the initial encounter was to find out who you are, and how much he can get away with. Hopefully he realizes things are different this season. If any nonsense continues after the second encounter, you certainly wouldn't be out of line to involve authorities.

What happened to the 2018 jerky contest??

5 out of 5 dead pigs!

That's a beautiful sight!

The Nova has been sold. She’s on her way up to Northern VT with her new owner.

Ladder straps replaced and stands are up. I missed that view. One month to go! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was always my favorite thing about this car... you just don’t see that many of them.

Worst case scenario no one buys it and I eventually inherit it. (Possibly my wife’s biggest fear)
