  1. More than likely he didn't tell or leave a story to pass on. A lot of those old timers didn't . Their concern was feeding their families and didn't care a lot about horns. No social media or internet forums either. Homer Boylan holds the record for New York’s largest non-typical buck. Like Luckey, Boylan also shot his buck in 1939 in Allegany County. The Boylan buck had 16 points and a Boone and Crockett score of 244 2/8. St. Lawrence County boasts of the state’s second-largest non-typical buck, a 15-point taken by Ken Locey in 1992. The Locey buck carried a 225 2/8 Boone and Crockett score.
  2. With all that moisture you may want to move those guns in the background....or oil them down good!

  4. Two people or a group voicing their opinion is one thing but standing up on national television making it obvious that your only purpose is to make someone look bad is not going to make me watch your station. I was not a fan of Trump bashing either but appreciated it when he used facts against his opponents.
  5. I am an advocate of free speech but some things should be sacred. I for one think the office of President (regardless who is there) is one of them. So called comedians should not be allowed to mock or make fun of presidents or candidates on national television and be allowed to trash anyone they want however they choose. Although this would infringe on the "first amendment " rights it should be enforced since all we are doing is teaching our youth you can disrespect anything or anybody any way you want. Making public fun of our leaders (good or bad) rates right up there with burning the American flag with me and when I hear or see this crap I just hit the mute button or change channels. Also makes me wonder about the leadership of these networks.
  6. Truly a beautiful place to be...Have skied the length of it and hunted all around it. It is especially beautiful in full foliage. OOPS Good Luck with the boat!
  7. Too Many Turkeys - Washington County On May 2, ECOs Steve Gonyeau and Tom Wensley responded to a complaint of illegal wild turkey hunting in the town of Kingsbury. A father and son had been hunting turkeys when they witnessed another individual shoot at a group of turkeys in the same field. The hunter hit three turkeys and was seen taking the birds into the woods, and later leaving the field without turkeys in hand. The ECOs later found four male turkey carcasses partially field dressed and hidden under some dead wood. They also located empty shells and shotgun wads. The ECOs followed a trail to a farmhouse where they obtained a list of hunters allowed on the property. During an interview with a Lake George-based hunter, the subject stated that he didn't shoot anything that day but did hear shots. Upon further investigation, the officers found two small turkey feathers and a bloody pocket knife in with the man's hunting gear, which also matched the description given by the complainant. When confronted with the evidence, the man admitted to shooting three times, claiming that the birds were walking in a line and that it was an accident that he shot so many at once. He turned over the turkey meat to the ECOs and was issued tickets for taking over the daily limit, taking over the season limit, and failing to tag the turkeys. He agreed to settling the case and paid $500 in penalties on May 10. ECO Gonyeau with the illegally killed wild turkeys Too Much Mud, Even for a Jeep - Broome County On May 6, ECO Andy McCormick received a complaint of a Jeep stuck on a DEC Flood Control easement in the town of Union. He requested a New York State Trooper to respond, as well, and upon arrival found the Jeep stuck in a large pond area. ECO McCormick contacted a towing company to remove the Jeep. With heavy rain still falling, the recovery required two hours and two tow trucks, as the first tow truck became mired in mud. The driver of the Jeep stated he had observed the signs that motor vehicles were not allowed on the flood wall and drove around a locked gate to access the ponding area. ECO McCormick issued him a ticket for operating a motor vehicle on a flood control easement. This Turkey was Hunting Coyotes? - Franklin County On May 1, the opening day of spring turkey season, ECO Jim Cranker was on foot patrol in the town of Brighton when he heard a single gunshot ring out. ECO Cranker observed a hunter with a shotgun at the edge of a field, approached the man, and asked to see his hunting license. The subject did not possess a current turkey permit, denied hunting turkeys, and said he had taken a shot at a coyote that was stalking a flock of wild turkeys in the field. Despite being afield with a shotgun at 8 a.m., prime turkey hunting time, the hunter staunchly maintained he was hunting coyotes. However, coyote hunting season closed the end of March, which means shooting at coyotes is now prohibited. The hunter was issued a ticket for hunting coyotes out of season.
  8. Pretty simple actually....when it comes time... PEOPLE NEED TO VOTE HIM OUT. They didn't last time so we have four years of his bs while he builds his resume to make a presidential run. Flooded Communities Along Lake Ontario will receive $10 Million In Aid when it is going to cost a lot more than that. Shows you where his priorities are: U.S. Rep. Claudia Tenney says the $15 million gondola planned for the New York State Fair is an unnecessary waste of taxpayers' money, and she'll oppose granting the federal approval needed for the project On his Facebook page, Hawley said in part, "We have already spent over $25 million in taxpayer money to build and install these signs and now are spending more to repair them after our devastating wind storm. I am calling on the governor to halt the repair and installation of these signs and use that money to repair our roads and infrastructure after the recent storm." Or how about these all over the state @ $10,000 a piece: And don't forget free tuition and a house down payment with no strings attached.
  9. Beaverkill Report: 05/07/17 The stream levels are too high to wade safely in any section of the Beaverkill. All you can do is fish from the banks. There are a few places you can do that with some opportunity. Keep in touch with us. We will keep you informed. The hatches slowed down some due to the cooler weather but will take off again. http://www.perfectflystore.com/fly-fishing-beaverkill.html Beaverkill also has no-kill zones to be aware of.
  10. Society as whole cannot get rid of the clowns...how could a circus be expected to They just made them part of the act.
  11. The antibiotics will help the symptoms but one thing the vet needs to keep an eye on is kidney function. Once they reach a certain point there is no turning back and all they can prescribe is EXPENSIVE blood transfusions and kidney flushes. Once mine got diagnosed the antibiotics helped for about two weeks and then no amount of antibiotics were going to help him. Age is also a factor...mine was 9 yrs old. A younger dog may to be able to fight off the effects easier but I would dare guess their life span will be shortened.
  12. ELLENTON, Fla. (AP) — After 146 years, the curtain is coming down on “The Greatest Show on Earth.” The owner of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus told The Associated Press that the show will close forever in May. The iconic American spectacle was felled by a variety of factors, company executives say. Declining attendance combined with high operating costs, along with changing public tastes and prolonged battles with animal rights groups all contributed to its demise.
  13. So what was the outcome??? Hope it came out well. I can attest watching one wither away knowing you can't help them is not fun.
  14. I am not either but there is a time when you have to do what is right and picking on a helpless old lady is one of them. To many people have their own agenda and could care less about others.
  15. Good Job!!! Need a few more people like you and this guy....I would more than likely would have done the same thing. I have a tendency to have low tolerance that kind of crap:
  16. Good idea to have it tested...call the county health dept. and find out if they will test it. If you shoot it do not shoot it in the head because if they test for rabies they test the brain material. More than likely it is parvo or distemper which are contagious. The county health dept. is usually the best place to start.
  17. That is a big bear especially this time of year when they haven't had a chance to get fat yet.
  18. That makes two of us...tried to set on the deck last night after mowing and the bugs drove me back into the hot house. Is it October yet!!!
  19. One season..... Oct. whatever to Dec. whatever....X number of tags to be determined by the DEC...Shoot them with whatever LEGAL weapon of choice you want. We have way to many seasons and restraints to hunt what we want, when we want with the weapon we want to use.
  20. I would dare say no one does since it is 95 % cattails 5' tall and lots of water!
  21. Could be a largemouth bait frog also
