  1. Good choice. How many coats are you going to put on? Id suggest at least 4. You want the stuff to be nice and thick for it to work the best.
  2. Im pretty sure this was posted on the old empire site, but I havent seen it on here and thought it would be something good to have posted. Last night I was picking up a new stand and was getting the stuff I needed for it and I saw the Hunters Safety System Lifeline for $40. Sheesh, thats a bunch of money for a rope with a knot tied on it. I went to Harbor Freight and spent $5 on 75 feet of camo rope and made my own 35 foot "lifeline" for right around $2.50 lol. Heres a good site for showing how to tie the knot. http://www.animatedknots.com/prusik/index.php
  3. The apples near my spot are already gone for the most part. Might be some left to drop, but the majority are gone. The crabapples are holding on though.
  4. The worst for me was first thing in the morning. I used the patch for a month and another week, then I just stopped wearing them.
  5. Ive always thought the same thing. Naples grape fest that weekend too. They really should move the gun show, they would do alot more business.
  6. I just read the FAQ section for the bill that was signed. They took the provision out for using it in archery only areas. What a crock, hopefully when they extend the law, they will further modify it to let them into archery season and areas. Time to write some more emails and letters.
  7. Holds up great to that stuff in my Dad's truck. Ive had engines, transmissions, rear axles, firewood, engine hoists and many other things back there sliding around with oil leaking, etc and had no problems. That bedliner is going on 10 years old and doesnt have a scratch on it. Like I have said, I havent been gentle with it.
  8. You need thicker stuff than what cold air returns are made from lol. You could also use regular rolled steel, but it will be a little tougher to keep clean and rust free. You could try an epoxy coat, like the garage floor coating, but its not going to hold up in the long run. Especially if you are working on large, heavy parts alot, like heads, etc. The steel is a bigger cost at first, but its well worth it in the long run. Just my experience though. I just thought of this, but maybe try some of that non textured truck bedliner, that might hold up and you can buy quarts of it at the auto parts store.
  9. Yeah, just gotta find someone with a wide enough brake. You can also keep an eye on my favorite site, Craigslist, for used commercial kitchen counters and stuff that might have a steel top you could use. I see them on there from time to time.
  10. Especially if he buys the nuts from a high fence acorn ranch.
  11. If you can find someone to bend it for you, stainless with sort of a backsplash on the back of it and then bent down to form the lip on the front would be your best bet. If you want to rebuild transmissions, or other heavy stuff on the bench, Id go with 2x12s instead of the ply for the top, then the stainless over that. Diamond plate is too rough, you really want a smooth surface so you dont scratch things you are working on and you can slide heavy objects on the bench.
  12. That's exactly what I was thinking here. In general vegetables can make you more gassy, so how can such a pill really be preventing body odor?? Even if it reduces odor, there still has to be some odor coming out of ones gut when flatulating. Im pretty sure its the fiber in the veggies that makes you gassy or have to take a dump, not the chlorophyll.
  13. Steve, chlorophyll pills wouldnt do anything to you. You do realize that you eat it everytime you eat green, leafy vegetables like spinach, etc? Id rather just eat the spinach. MMMMMMM....
  14. During the off season, I plan on upgrading my fletcher to something better than the one I have now. It works good and all, but I bought it just to see if I would enjoy doing up my own arrows. Turns out I do, so now Ill be willing to drop more money on a better setup. Ill probably keep the Bohning jig though, its small and light, so Ill just throw it in my archery toolbox and have a portable jig with me all the time.
  15. This might be a good book for you to pick up... http://gutitcutitcookit.com/index.html
  16. Im surprised shes still allowing it. Cool pic.
  17. That non typical in velvet just might be a doe. Most does that have antlers never come out of velvet, and their racks are not typical alot of the time. Maybe youll have the opportunity to find out for sure.
  18. This topic has been moved to Out of New York Hunting. [iurl]http://huntingny.com/forums/index.php?topic=1435.0[/iurl]
  19. I'm not sure just what you are referring to. I think I already said that anyone who comes to the house requesting permission to retrieve a wounded deer, will get permission and probably the pleasure of my company as he looks for it. However, don't think that that excuse hasn't been tried by someone caught trespassing. The only problem is that when asked to show me the blood, they don't seem to be able to ..... lol. I think over all these years, I have seen it all. The reason that I now try to accompany them in their search is a little trick that was tried on me where a guy asked permission to track a wounded deer, and a few hours later when I finally had time to go up the hill I found him all hunkered down in the middle of my property on stand (no blood trail anywhere around). So yes, on occasion a landowner will seem a bit unreasonable. However, most of the time and perhaps even all of the time, there are some pretty good reasons and some ugly bad experiences behind that attitude. Doc Look a few posts up lol.
  20. Well, the longest shot is 200 yards, so par 3 lol
