Welp, started out to be a good night got in the woods around 4:30 after getting out of work and hour and half drive. Everyhting was going good had a button buck and doe fawn bed down behind me 30 yards. Watched for a while glanced at facebook a little here and there. About 5:15 here comes doe with 2 fawns and another fawn behind her. Looked again and another deer in a scrape saw some head gear but unsure of its size. He starts trailing the doe, im glassing and holy bejesus here comes a monster 10 point. Doe skirts me at around 50 yards. And the big buck stays low. I tried grunting, snort wheeze notta, too locked on that single doe. Well the doe with fawns got a nervous and decided to walk up the hill right to me. I'm hoping and praying that single doe follows, and she does. Holy crap here he comes. Walks 25 yards wide open shooting i stop him he is just looking to see what bleated. I settle the pin down on his heart but thinking last minute the angle is too steep and raise up to the lungs. Well you guessed it he jumped the string dropped a good 8" and went right over his back. If i had put it on the heart probably would have lunged him easy. Good part is after the shot he ran about 30 yards stood there for a quick second and qalked off after the doe. Look at my phone 6:01 this all happened in an hour and half of being on stand. Had a great sit but wish i had a picture of a big 10 point to go along with this story. Here is I think one side of his shed last year. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Not much available because the 6.5 grendel is a better option. I was thinking of doing a featureless ar in 6.5 and probably still will. Also planning a big bore build .458 or .450 haven't really decided which one. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

That's impressive, how they getting that one out? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

8W I've had more bucks showing up at night but still in bachelor groups. Got a double main beam that just showed up. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Had 2 one with a bow at 50 yards killed a 120" 10 point. The other was 355 yards with my .270 win tikka t3. Buck had a messed up leg and was limping. Either way i impressed myself with both shots and had a witness for both. No B.S. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

These have had me lauging pretty good. Keep em coming! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

This is where i get mine. I've planted about 12 fruit trees. 2 cherry, 2 pear, and 8 apple. All the ones i bought came from Schuyler county soil and water district. Their prices are decent for the size of trees you get. My cherry trees were $20/ea but 8' tall. Once you get a few trees established you can graft your own pretty easily. You could in theory start an orchard from only a few eatablished trees. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

The local dec office here take fish orders. If i were stocking a small pond it would be with bass and perch. Some like sun fish and bass but perch to me are good eating. Maybe bullhead and perch. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Good to know. I am contemplating on doing board and batten on my new garage instead of steel because of the heat retention factor. I know it's more maintenance but i wont freeze in the winter and should be easier to keep warm. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

You too? It just feeaking keeps coming. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

$200 and an hour later your done. Sorry I'll take $200 an hour over any job, that's why they make rubber gloves. No trying to be a jerk but you'll put your hands in guts but dont want to touch poo? Haha Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Sad part is upstate isnt much better. We have had "tips" in our school district from concerned parents because of pictures of student(s) at the range with parents shooting guns. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Down the street from my house we have a free electrician trade school where you can become a certified union electrician. Same as your apprenticeships they start out around $20/hour and once certified union electrician they can make anywhere from $45-$100/hour the latter if you don't mind traveling for a week out of state. Either way poor life choices have that effect on peoples income later in life. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Nothing beats an ice cold pabst. I found it in bottles once and tasted even better. Nothing beats from the tap. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

We have a male and female roaming around i would to get. They have beautiful coats and colors the female is small but the male is the size of a small yote. I also have a large male yote on camera that is around the size of my weimaraner. Must be pushing 100 lbs. Pretty sure its the one i took a shot at last year with the bow he is big. Here is a picture of the yote. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I told my wife that i wasnt going to hit the woods until 2nd week in October but i might go early only because i need to do the same. We dont have cell service and text messages barely make it thru. So it's to unwind and just sit there in my thoughts. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Obviously cameras werent around to capture the wrong doings. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I dont blame the dems their only other option was more bat shit crazy than Cuomo. It would have been like Killary winning the nomination and running against trump. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Thanks, wish the barn was mine it's my father in laws along with the mounts. Only things that are mine are some tools that i leave there for community use. Next year I'll be building my workshop/garage so it isnt too far off. Lots of planning on my part right now. We own a cottage next door to his so get use of the barn.

Gotcha, are you planning to leave it natural or some sort of deck stain? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Looks good but hope when you installed the wood lap siding you took into account the board cup. When they did this on my cottage they didnt now i have turned up siding. Kind of wish they did board an batten instead. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Working on my house or the wifes honey-do list count? It has been going on 2 years and i have yet to put siding up. Made some doors over the summer 10 total in a couple weeks. Planning on milling some pine boards with my newly acquired chainsaw mill. We'll see how that goes. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I never got the hang of stainless fry pans, i like my cast iron. The wife likes teflon but the M.I.L. uses freaking metal utensils and scratches the crap out of them. I joust buy cheap ones because we go through them so fast. We do cook rice, pasta, and pasta sauce in the stainless sauce pans. The only thing i can get to fry in a stainless fry pan is bacon.
