  1. A lot of toads and green frogs, here this year. Boy are the frogs legs ever good. I have never seen so many in the hays fields. I have to stop forward motion so they don,'t jump in to the pickup. Turkey. Vultures and talks are cleaning up.
  2. The deer eat weeds to and have a surprising amount of food value. I believe you posted an article on that subject.
  3. I also needed something to store deer hides in for freshness, LOL.
  4. Good Eddie. You think the temp should be around 35- 40? What's the best temp to store meat on cut up? We just picked up a 6 foot chest freezer from family for 10 bucks that still had freezer stuff in it. Older Kenmore, heavier than guilt. I figure if she conks out, can always throw block of ice in it, cool.
  5. What, full size trucks get bad gas milage; now why don't somebody tell me those things!
  6. I would hope the local agencies can use Google.
  7. I see a number of them when I cut a hay field. Looking for" dead" mice, frogs, and snakes.
  8. Being planted this afternoon. Got the call this morning that seed came in Min -tilled ground this morning with a good roll down. Seed price came in at $157 / bag. Oats were $7.35 / bag. Urea ran $21.80 / # bulk. See if this coming rain will pop them through by next week.
  9. Being around thousands of inches of them, once a year must help too, LOL.
  10. Great discussion! Some really interesting views. On with the show!
  11. Good soil properties lead to better nutrition equals larger deer and bigger racks. Of coarse, a smaller frame deer can support a large rack; personally found this out. Nutrition is the key folks. Of coarse, some of us know this already, LOL.
  12. Got done raking hay with a temp of 93 degrees in the shade at 1 o'clock. Heat index has to be 100. Is the rest of the state sizzling?
  13. The sweet garlic relish and pickles are good on venson burger.
  14. If their's a 140, 8 point or larger; a 130 pound babyless doe all within range, I will shoot the 140 any day of the week to fill my buck tag, if given a good shot and in season, of coarse. I will shoot the doe, if the buck isn't a sure thing, to fill a doe tag. All this is heavily dependent of my attitude for the day. I let smaller younger bucks walk by, observing them. This is why deer hunting is pretty dam inportant, to me. Now, fire away.
  15. Wooly, on a serious note now; are you surprised to see that many bucks in your area? The winter kill numbers looked to be pretty high there. Of coarse' only the strong survive.
  16. The crossbow certificate in the hunting guide is nothing more than a liability sign off for New York state.
  17. Our reds and whites are loaded. Now if it doesn't drought so they fall off prematurely.
  18. Fancy Woodshed. Bet that fire will feel good with all that dry wood on a cold winters night.
  19. Ozone levels are elevated today and tomorrow. Thursday back to average temps. First few weeks of August look to be below normal temps., as the jets team sinks south of us, similar to last winters pattern. Jet stream, these androids have a mind f their own, LOL.
  20. I miss the days of watching a good bird dog work a pheasant in the wild. Then, capitalizing on the effort. There's nothing else like it. So pheasant hunting would have to top the list. Deer & Turkey has taken it's place and filled the void over the years rather nicely. I do so enjoy the time afield. I get lost in the moment. I would hope that some day pheasants could return to the wild.
  21. "So a crossbow is still considered a firearm in New York with the muzzleloader privilege license required to hunt with one.
  22. Bottle some of this heat up for release in January and February.
  23. I'm new here. What's a profile view?
