No trip up to Steuben for me. Will be my first opening day miss in many, many, many years. Kinda bummed.

That’s a dandy. Congrats!

Congrats on a fine buck!

Nice buck Chef. Congrats.

My last two Browning cams went TU. The second one lasted one day. I'm done with them.

Tube steaks are a ticket on the heartburn express for me. No can do anymore.

Not to mention the lack seal around the face… especially for those with facial hair.

Depends on the face too.

Face masks are worthless.

If I even come up to NY hunting this fall, I'll be bringing a new Weatherby Mark V Hunter in 7mm-08. The scope is a Tract Toric.

What a load of BS.

Seems weird. My grandkids have been in school for about a month. Good luck to all the youngsters.

My Gators edged a tough Utah team. One helluva game.

Move baby move!

What a bunch of BS! I’m so glad I left NYS. Besides, your Governor doesn’t want my type there.

I sold my Scorpyd DS so the only one left is an old CamX Chaos. Still kills things.

It is just too bad that most of this stuff is made in China. I’m sure some of it is fine, but I just hate to help support an enemy.

Wasp not bee.

Escaping can be a good thing. Best of luck.

To be honest, this area is a lot like NYS where I grew up. Nice mountains (bigger than the ones in Steuben), trees, critters, four distinct seasons, cool season grass, etc. We only get snow a couple of times per year... the most I have ever seen up here was 6". The people are very friendly (typical small town southern folks), but we get lots-o-tourists in the summer and fall. Ap trail nearby.Trout fishing (using a fly rod) is big up here in the Toccoa River. Bill Oyster has a shop downtown dedicated to building world class fly rods. He offers classes in that, but there is a several year wait. I never got into fishing much... hunting and golf were my main interests. All us old retired people do up here is drink and have parties (not sex parties, this ain't the Villages). LOL

10-4 on Atlanta. Worst part about living up here.

Forgot to add… no gators up here. I lived in Florida for 42 years. I was involved with Gator trapping when I worked at Dismal. Have a 10.5 ‘ Gator (head mount) that I caught with the state trapper.

I’m not getting worked up or anything. I do recall one member pushing some crap about me coming on here and posting while not living in NYS. While I was born and raised in Steuben County, I moved away a long time ago. My family has a little land with a hunting cabin on it that we (the wife and I) have been coming to every year for a very long time. I shot my first buck at the age of 16 in 1966. It was on the Erwin WMA, and comes with a unique story. To answer an above question, the best hog hunting in is south Ga. I live way up north in the mountains, and am surrounded by thousands of acres of national forest. There are not many Ag crops, and the deer mainly live in residential areas (like my yard lol). We do have some turkey (AAMOF) I have pics of a white turkey in a wild flock. There are a lot of black bears around… have seen three in my yard.

I've been a member here for approximately 6 years. I visit regularly, but only post occasionally. Seldom do I receive comments, feedback or any sort of communication regarding anything. Why does it feel like y'all don't like and / or appreciate "outsiders"? Pygmy (Dan) has been the only member that seemed friendly and helpful. Guess I didn't realize that not living in NYS would so hamper my experience. Any comments?

Crock-o-schit!
