ATN X-Sight HD 5-18x smart night vision scope. Includes sunshade, IR illuminatior and carry case. Everything works as it should.
This is a great way to get into night vision, and has served me well. I am moving to thermal and won’t need this any longer.
$350

Feel better . Dont know about rsv. Wife will fill me in . I have had the first shot and booster . Gave up on the 6 other shots they now say will save you from all the ills in the world . Planned on the flue shot never got around to it .
RSV has been around forever. Just been going around like crazy for the last few weeks. It will run its course.
Hope you both feel better soon.

I had a Bradley Original electric smoker. Won it in a raffle a few years back. It was the style that used the wood pucks that would feed in to create the smoke. It worked great sometimes. But if the outside temp dropped below 75ish, it had a hard time maintaining a proper cooking temp. I've since moved on to a Pitboss vertical smoker. The control panel is electric, but it feeds pellets in for heat and smoke. I love it. I've had no trouble getting to temp and holding it even in poor weather.
The uninsulated ones are a pain in cold weather. Thats when i usually do the majority of my smoking though lol.

I just got over that RSV crap thats going around. Kicked my butt for 2 days, but that was it. Most of my co-workers ended up with Covid last week or this week. In the year that Ive worked there, Im the only unvaxxed person in the company, and also the only one who hasnt had Covid at least twice in that time frame.

The way crime is going in this land today, I don't think fewer hunters will mean fewer guns. Just fewer hunting guns. people are buying weapons for self defense in greater numbers than ever before. Fewer hunters will mean less votes though.
I wonder if the number of hunting licenses sold each year includes all lifetime licenses issued, or just new ones sold that year.
It includes lifetime licenses

I have slings on almost all of my rifles, Muzzleloaders and shotguns. My deer rifle and coyote rifles all share a Magpul quick detach sling that I can take off or put on in 2 seconds. It’s really slick.

A cousin closed the book wednesday afternoon on a buck that's been a family legend for the past 3 yrs. I believe this deer is at least 7.5 yr old and has been over 160" for the past three years at least. He grossed 158 as a 8-pt with a broken brow. His G2s were 13 and 14", the longest I can remember seeing in my area of Steuben County! RIP old boy. May your offspring survive to maturity...
Good gravy man! Congrats to your cousin!

Stevie Wonder could track that deer!
I really wish I had taken a pic of it hanging in the tree. It was the wildest thing I’ve ever seen. He had jumped or flipped into the tree I circled, and his antlers were around the trunk about 6 feet high, holding him straight up with his rear hooves touching the ground. My son and I were confused as to what he was doing when we crested the hill lol.

What's your budget? I have two green mountain pellet smokers and absolutely love them. One is the size of a normal grill, and the other one is a small portable. I have nothing but good to say about the bigger one, i use it a couple times per week. I just bought the small one last week and have yet to use it. I got the smaller one so i can bring it back and forth to camp and i figured it would be easier to use in the winter months. If you look into them the two models i have are the Daniel Boone and Trek. Both are wifi compatible so you can control the smoker from your phone if you want. They're running a black Friday sale on them right now.
I’d like to stay around 300, 400 would be my max. I already have 2 grills (gas and charcoal) so I’m not looking for another grill. I want a set it and forget it type smoker, I don’t have time to babysit one. My old one was a Cajun Injector brand, which I think was a rebranded Masterbuilt, and it did great for me. The only thing I didn’t like was that it wasn’t wide enough to do a full rack of ribs without cutting it in half.

@WNYBuckHuntergreat buck man!! That ain't no 2 year old where I hunt!
Thank you! I never saw this buck before today, and I’m judging by body characteristics. I could be off, I saw him on the hoof for long enough to think “that will work” lol.

Last year my electric cabinet smoker gave up the ghost after quite a few years of use. Now it’s time to find a replacement, and I wanted to see if anyone on here had ideas about what’s out there now. I’m figuring that I’ll stay with electric, as I’ve had good results with my old one, and I’d like it to be as large of a capacity as I can. I would love to be able to fit full racks of ribs and briskets in it. Built in temperature probes would be great, but aren’t completely necessary.
What do you all use and recommend?

My two for Thanksgiving week. The doe popped up when I was headed to a blind on Monday, and the buck stepped out on Wednesday. The buck is most likely a 2 1/2 year old 8 point. I’m extremely happy to have taken both of them after 2 years of basically not hunting, and with limited time to hunt this year!

Congratulations John. Very nice buck.
Thank you! Certainly has been a fun couple of days after 2 years of barely hunting and not shooting anything!

Geez, that is not a blood trail… it’s a blood highway. Congrats
Thanks! I should have taken a pic of the deer right away. He ran down a pretty steep drop off and his antlers got hung up on a tree and we found him hanging there. I didn’t even think to snap a pic.

This guy showed himself this morning and tripped my trigger. Another heart shot, so we’re gonna be out after another doe for the rest of the week.

Doe down!
I got a late start this morning and was starting my walk to a blind on the neighbors place. I was just walking past the barn when she stood up in the brush about 50 yards away. One shot, she made a quick dash and dropped at the edge of my back lawn. Easy retrieval on this one haha. First tag I’ve punched in 2 years. Gonna get this nanny taken care of and then head back to the blind for the rest of the morning before I go down to state land for the afternoon sit.

And some people wonder why I end up talking to them like children. Are you all listening to yourselves?
If it doesn’t stop, and people continue to instigate arguments and problems on this site, they are going to end up gone.
This dead horse subject has been beaten long enough.
