I have not lived in WNY for 10 years. When i did i would target catfish in the the same waters i fished for steelhead in. Usually a little closer to the lake though. I would rig up a night crawler under a light up float and drift fish for a hours at night when my kids were little. Wife and kids would be sleeping and i would head out to clear my head.

Onx hunt will do that. Free version

Check out meateater podcast episode 344. He has a Dr. On the show who specializes in hearing and hearing loss. It was a very i formative episode

I live in Florida. There is a ton of public land. I have no idea about guides but the birds are not very talkative. Depending on where you go there is line where easterns and osceola are in the same area and sometimes breed for a hybrid. the licensing can be a pain to figure out. If you go the diy route PM me and i can try to help you out.

Wouldn’t I always see sick and/or injured people? I mean who goes to the ER when healthy? this same thing happens at ER’s when a bad strain of the flu comes around. It just doesn’t have a name or a political connection. I go to a gym across from an urgent care. Place is dead (no pun intended) most of the time. Unfortunately everything has a political connection. It’s shitty. Interesting thought. How different would the country be right now had trump won in November? Would democrats and the left leaning media be pushing the way they are now or would they be opposed to the vaccine in favor of something else? Andy Cuomo himself wouldn’t support the vaccine from the federal government when Trump was potus. He stated NY would not accept the federal govt studies. After the election he changed his tune. Same vaccine though.

News vs reality I live in Florida or otherwise known as Free America. You wouldn’t realize there is much of an issue going on here unless of course you watched the news. Which by itself is a business trying to grab attention and advertising dollars. To your point there may be some hospitals that are getting full or adjusting surgical schedules. We have to read what’s not being written. Those other surgery’s are just being moved to different hospitals. Of course the news won’t report on that because it doesn’t follow a narrative. the other factor not discussed in the news is the amount of people moving and traveling to Florida. That stat alone is adding to the number of cases.

Your post did not reference deaths. Simply that those vaccinated are now required to wear masks because of the unvaccinated. Dead people are not speeding this thing. It’s being spread by those who got the shot and those who have not. It’s a shitty reality.

My wife could make something for you. Send me some ideas and i can see what she can do

I am in Tampa and envious that you are getting out of this place. I hate Florida. I would move back to WNY in a moment. i do enjoy living in a free state just this one is so friggin hot and miserable. They always show beautiful beaches of florida but most of it is a swamp. good luck on uour journey

I moved away from NY almost 8 years ago and still love to follow this forum. I had to reset my password to post here. If you have not looked into a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon they may be something of interest to you. We have an 8 year old. Had we not moved when he was a pup I would have hunted over him but life happened and that was no longer an option. However, this breed is known as a versatile gun dog meaning they will point, flush, chase fur, deer search, retrieve, etc. as in you could hunt ducks in the morning with this guy in the blind then use him to find a deer in the afternoon. Unfortunately I never got to work with this guy in the field but I know I will never own another breed. He is fantastic with people and kids and super smart. Good luck in your search should be a fun one.

Clubber as in Clubber Lang

Wirehaired pointing griffon - google it. Staring at mine now(griswold). Best dog ever!!!!

Hey man - since i moved away 5 years ago i only lurk on here. Not much hunting to share from Florida. However, i am an IT professional. Recenty i have gotten into Raspberry Pi and Arduino. My son had a school project and wanted to duplicate the technology used at the harry potter world for the interactive wands. Spoiler alert the wands are plastic with a reflective tip. We used a raspberry pi with a noir camera for his project. When first hooked up it was pretty fantastic to see how well it worked in the dark. There are a lot of web pages focused on home security using the pi - if you are a bit of a DIYer you can easily set some systems around your place cost effectivley. The raspberry pi is less than $40 and the noir camera was $18 including the ir lights. Some googling in that space may give you some other ideas and/or options good luck

Good for you - Sounds like heaven. Best of luck to you. As for the taxes the new Tax bill will be tough on states like NY with high Income and Property taxes but that is why NY needs to vote for better representatives to help reduce that cost. I moved away a few years ago due to work. I miss NY dearly and pay a lot of attention to what happens there. Good Luck with your retirement!!!
