Walmart does sell them but I don't know if the one in Norwich has any left. The gun shop there has had a bunch of ammo but I don't know what he's got either.

I dont have anything in bloom but daffodils are up 4-5", lillies are popping up. Otherwise nothing but grass turning green.

Me and my youngest daughter finished it today. Ended up being 21'X 12 all dug by hand. Tomorrow will be setting up a water supply for it.

I used to have a target panic. But always take a big deep breath before I raise a gun or bow at the range. And I just burn a hole in the target and breath. I'm not by any means a good shooter but I hit what I'm aiming at alot of the time. It did come back bad 3 years ago for a year with my bow but it was a mixture of no faith in equipment and over thinking. For the main question is i stare at the target where I want to hit,breath,draw with my eyes always on the target,anchor,breath,release. I can get my shot cycle off within 5-9 seconds would be my guess.

Same as you couple different tomatoes cucumber,jalapeños. Have a bunch of extras but still making the garden. Started yesterday on a spot not huge but it's a start and digging it all by hand. Bad picture but it's started.

Just saw on the news a doctor in Italy found a way to convert a scuba mask using a 3d printer to make a ventilator. Looked pretty neat would think there has to be a lot of cheap alternatives to make one for situations like this. -
Thanks for the tips. We got the gun all set last year just need to take some shots in the next couple weeks. That's one thing me and my daughter did last year along with shooting sitting against a tree. My godson are big boys and have been shooting since they could walk so not worried about them shooting just need to see how their guns are patterning.

That's a huge bear. Just imagine the weight of that thing in the fall.

There will be 3 total just not all at once unless 1 sleeps in truck on first couple setups. I'm hoping to get my daughter tagged out youth season. Then I told the boys we will just alternate setups and if my daughter doesnt tag out during youth it will be her everytime i go out and alternate them every other trip. Flip my good luck coin for who sets up first and hope we get something.

Yeah also forgot to add my buddy called today my God sons want to go so I'll be chasing birds all spring for the kids. Can't wait does seem like I'm going to have fun.

I know it's a month away but nice to get a different topic going. So I'm not a turkey hunter but me and my daughter will be trying again this year. Found a decent spot today a lot of scratching, fresh feathers in them at least I think so. So a quick question I'll be heading to see if I can get them to gobble the day before. It's on a piece of Stateland all I can think of is if I can't get them to gobble before hand to see if they are there. Is to get on the highest point and hope I can hear them. What are your guys plans and any extra pointers for a newbie turkey hunter.

I don't wish any death or pain towards anyone. My biggest issues are 1 you're brining a virus that spreads quickly to an area that really doesn't have it spreading so why risk the rest of the state. 2nd most of upstate does not have the resources to help out there's some that I know of that are just running. 3Rd I have a problem if someone from out of the area infects say my mom who's a nurse in an eye doctors and was told today if they start shipping people up she's not going to have a choice and have to help those patients. (She will do it because she took an oath to). But if she gets it and takes it back to my dad he will die if he gets it. Now will people get sent this far I don't know. I do not want to see anyone die but if the roles were reversed there's no way he would send patients down state. I don't care if people want to go to there second homes i would be fine with it as long as they quarantine for 14 days to make sure they weren't sick(people that are in the "hot zones"). I think there's better options like opening dorms and shipping nurses down and giving them a place to stay while working. -

As of right now I'm supposed to go back Sunday night They shut us down for a week. I'm wondering if they found a loophole to get us back to work since we supply trucks to amazon and Walmart for their warehouses. -
Wife got home early and I must of had a look on my face after being stuck at home for 6 days now with no work or projects to do. So she sent me out for a hike. No sheds did find a hip bone to a cow about 3/4 mile into the woods. Did find a couple great spots for bow hunting but I have no idea how I'm gonna sneak into them. Nice to get out.
-
She used to say the same. She never cooked it for me that I can ever remember. She made me eat liver once and that was enough for me.
-
Don't do liver not eating any things testicles. However heart I've had a couple of times and I like it. A guy down to work pickles his and it's really good. Told my wife next year I was going to try cooking one myself. She about gagged. My grandma said during the 30s and 40s she used to eat cow tongue all the time.

It seems steep to rent but to take my family of 5, 2 popcorns to let kids and wife share plus a drink each your looking at 80 plus. That is why I do not go to the movies and my wife takes the 2 oldest during afternoon shows because they are a little cheaper.

Tell your friend thank you for working hard. The nurses and doctors are putting their lives on hold for this so everyone should be thanking them. -

Im the same way but the problem is ive seen more camps open today on my way to my hike then i did last year before deer season/4th of july combined i no first hand where a good chunk come from so its going to spread quickly every where else. -
I did notice alot of new gun buyers at the local shop yesterday. One guy was early 20s and his dad had no idea about even what birdshot was for. They were suprised to hear that if you wanted to stop someone in there tracks get a shotgun not a rifle. Look on there face that a shotgun was better then those "scary" looking guns was priceless. Great that people are using there right but is scary some dont even know what is what.

Stopped into local gun shop this afternoon and he was packed full of ammo still and shoppers. But he said theyve had guys coming 4 or 5 hrs to get guns and ammo sinces he has so much. My biggest issue i had was so many down staters that came up to their camps to get away. Which is fine any normal time but i heard 3 different groups saying they came from down state and everyone new someone that had it. This is how its spreading like it is people coming out of hot zones to escape and brining it with them. -
Shut us down 1 week with pay(very grateful for the 1 week pay). I guess we will see what happens after that. I talked to my sister who works for the outdoor group(elite parent company) i guess theyve layed off 75% of work force and people still on had to take a huge pay cut. Seeing how they are non essential workers they are done until its cuomo lifts everything.
-
I dont need any ammo but with how people get and alot just wont be prepared if there is a lockdown like california people will get desperate. So i see people buying for protection of family and property but its alot of oh crap theres 1 box left i better grab some. I will say walmart was picked pretty good yesterday when i was looking at fishing tackle.

Just wanted to let people know. If you are an oxford resident and a child in school they have 2 meals per kid each day for pickup and its alot my teenager couldnt finish it. One is at the school another is in mcdonough. This food doesnt depend on income if you have a kid in the system(actually my 3 yr old is also) they have 2 full meals for pickup. If anyone knows someone or is apart of the school and needs help picking up food me and my wife will be trying to help get the food to the kids. Im sure alot of schools are doing the same just trying to get the word out for people. Biz one of my friends wife is a manager at a big chain store and they have formula hidden behind the service desk because people were stealing it. So that might be the situation as well. -

Granted just rumors so im not 100 percent accurate on the information but i was told last night someone on 2nd showed up and was working before telling people his gf is in quarantine waiting for test results. So they sent him home.
