A very Happy Birthday to both of you. valoroutdoors.com

My son and I both have pickups with tri fold tonneau covers. They are very easy to fold back when you need an open bed for items and are very easy to close when you need weatherproof protection for items in your bed. It takes seconds to fold or unfold them by a single person. They give you the advantages of both worlds and also keep snow from piling up in your bed in the winter when you keep them closed. I wouldn't have a pickup without one. valoroutdoors.com

Yes I got it on my tactacam and the video came out perfectly. valoroutdoors.com

I just bagged a large black bear in Maine on Tuesday. The outfitter uses a jet sled to drag bears out of the thick Maine woods and has used them for years. We dragged my bear out on one and I can't imagine how hard it would have been without one. valoroutdoors.com

For those of you who asked we are in West Forks Maine and are hunting with Fifteen Mile Stream Outfitters. This is our third year with them. Thanks to all of you for your replies and likes. valoroutdoors.com

I'm up in Maine on a black bear hunt with my son. I scored on a boar yesterday and my son has passed up 5 smaller bears so far. We're having a great time and I'm hoping he scores before we leave on Sunday. valoroutdoors.com

Skaneateles is a very nice place to visit. There are some nice small shops downtown and the owners are very friendly. For restaurants I would recommend the Blue Water Grill which is downtown on the water. Stay away from the Krebs or Rosalie's which are very high priced. I regularly fish the lake and it is one of the cleanest lakes you will ever find. valoroutdoors.com

I have this target by rinehart. I regularly shoot broadheads at it with my compound bow and my high speed crossbow. It is terrific and it is very easy to remove broadheads from it. I have had this target for several years and after hundreds of shots into it with broadheads it still is holding up well. valoroutdoors.com. https://www.rinehart3d.com/catalog/18-1-archery-target/

Very nice work on the display. The wood from the pallets looks awesome. I'm guessing that the cut down shotgun shell casing at the top of the beard is the actual shell that he used to bag the gobbler. valoroutdoors.com

The 40 Year Old Virgin is one of my favorites. The scene where he gets his chest hair waxed got me laughing very hard. valoroutdoors.com.

I bought my son a SBE 2 from a hunting buddy a few years ago. My buddy used that gun when we went waterfowl hunting with him and he never had any problems with it whatsoever so I knew it was a good gun. But my buddy wanted a SBE 3 so he sold me the SBE 2. Since he got the SBE 3 he has had it jam several times when we hunted together and I cannot quote his replies here. He has sent the gun back to Benelli twice to get it repaired. As a result of many problems with the SBE 3 the demand and price for a used SBE 2 has gone up. I would opt for a good used SBE 2. valoroutdoors.com

I have a 14' Lowe aluminum boat with a 25 hp Mariner outboard. I just started mine up yesterday in preparation for bass season. I fish the Finger Lakes predominately Owasco Lake, Skaneateles Lake, and Cayuga Lake. I have found this size boat to be ideal for fishing. I have owned larger boats is the past and sold them in favor of a 14' aluminum boat. They last a lifetime if you take care of them. I have a couple of tips for you as your boat has been in storage for 5 years. Install a new spark plug or plugs and spray some starting fluid into the cylinders before trying to start it up. This should make starting it up much easier. Good luck this season and stay safe on the water. valoroutdoors.com

I have a couple of these in my man cave. Of course one is of a gobbler and the other is of a beagle as I have 3 beagles and have had beagles since I was a young boy. valoroutdoors.com

Congratulations to your daughter and to your family. With all of the negative stuff going on right now in this country it is refreshing to read something positive and see a beautiful photo of a happy family. You should be very proud of her and I have enjoyed reading your posts and viewing your pics of the 2 of you hunting together. My son has 2 young daughters and I hope they become hunters so that he can experience the joy you and I share of hunting with our children. I predict that she is going to make some lucky young man very happy in the future and someday you will have to bear the name of Grandpa as I have to do! valoroutdoors.com

I just got back my drake wood duck mount from last duck season. I took it to a local taxidermist who is on the expensive side but is known for his quality work especially with birds. It came out beautiful and I am very satisfied with it. valoroutdoors.com

crappyice- we can make your daughter HuntingNY famous by replying to your post and having her read our replies. She may have been banished and been deprived of the things a 16 yr. old girl deserves due to the pandemic, but we won't deprive her of becoming HuntingNY famous. So let all of us reply to this post and grant her wish of becoming HuntingNY famous. I don't know her name but I say "You Go Girl". We are going to make you famous! And you can thank your loving Dad for it. valoroutdoors.com

I absolutely agree with everyone who recommends you keep the Nikon. I have the exact same gun and scope as you have except mine is in 7mm-08 caliber. I hunt in the Finger Lakes area and find that gun and scope combo to be ideal for this area. I have a high end Zeiss scope on another rifle and I actually prefer the Nikon scope for hunting. valoroutdoors.com

How in the world can 2 hunters walking away be mistaken for a turkey, especially with one being shot in the face and the other in the back? Either the shooting was deliberate or at the least reckless and I hope the shooter is criminally prosecuted in addition to losing his license for life. He is also a coward for running away and not facing up for his actions, but I'm sure that will be shortlived. I hope the 2 hunters who were shot recover swiftly and completely. This type of incident should never occur and never would if all hunters observed the basic safety rules. valoroutdoors.com

Yes definitely a cottontail rabbit nest. I have found many of them under my deck. It is possible that they drowned when we had the torrential rainstorm last week. valoroutdoors.com
