I was there Lawdwaz. I was also disappointed in the spot change. The smelt was good when getting past all that coating. I peeled that off. All in all, we had a good time. Thanks to Lewiston Spenser's for a successful event. I look for you in the crowd . You must film with a longer neck than in person,LOL.

I also went out. Every so often, I found. 5 to 8 down like feathers. Only time I"be witness this is when one turkey would get to close to the other and poke with their beak grabbing feathers. I know of a tom and a Jake hanging together. That Jake seems more aggressive than the tom.

Tomorrow May 1st from 6 to 10 pm. In Lewiston N. Y.. Lewiston never smelt so good, LOL. I will be there and also at the Brickyard getting my usual, the Poor Boy sandwich.

Kinda send chills down ones back. No matter how many turkey pics I view, I just can't get enough, LOL.

Welcome! Nice deer .
-
That sure sounds like a great hunt. Congrats!

Have a call in my pocket, a gun in my hand, and a turkey in my mind. All I need now, is some luck , skill, a good sharp knife, and a plate to put it on. Good luck everyone!

Still. Looking. Another nice encounter with seven , looked like yearling deer. We both caught each other off guard. They were bedded down on a north facing knoll, in some brush. Several looked out at me, as I stood still on the laneway. After several stare down minutes, they worked their way out into the alfalfa field loading up on the nice greenery starting to come on. Their were several doe. They all looked in really good shape. Beautiful bright sunny day today.

Bump.

We'll all be over! What time is supper? LOL.

Pumpkins
landtracdeerhunter replied to Bowshotmuzzleloader's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
Pumpkins work well here. I like the option of having a drawing food source, after Thanksgiving, when all other legumes and grasses have turned brown. We don't hunt over them, but they sure do draw the deer. I grow a nice open pollinated variety. Look more like a big pinkish orange squash than a pumpkin. The problem, the last 2 years here was getting the ground worked up, because of the wet conditions. Had to mud some in with knee boots. I always try to plant an acre or more. If you decide to try some, they like plenty of nitrogen. -
I haven't kept up to date on ground blinds for a while. Some of them looked more user friendly with adding more window options. Looked like they were aiming for more bow hunting options out of them. I like hunting turkey out of them for concealment, but feel like I'm missing viewing options. The other factor that have quelled my buying ground blinds, is the price. I just can't see paying $100 or more for a cheaply made tent. LOL.

No New York gobblers to date. Did get a few in Ohio though. Forgot to take the camera with me. Believed it weighed #18. Had to fight coyotes off, just to claim it. Hens flying all over the place. Story for another day.

Standard transmission? Hope you know how to use a clutch. Personally would prefer 4 wheels design. I like the color names though, with the free bumper sticker and shirt, LOL.

You go Grow! Nice time to get fruits and peas in. Any onions? How's those cardboard blinds holding up in all this wind? I went from knee high boots to ankle over the weekend, LOL.

You best wake up NOW!

All I have to say is " Benghazi." She couldn't preform as Secretary of State. How the hell is she going to answer the phone at 2 in the morning? -
Logged in several more miles the last few days. Came across a nice scope ring, scope covers, and a bolt with a practice tip. Got dangerous close to a coyote den that wasn't their in January. Coyote shot out, turn and looked at me, then ran off. Maybe one reason why sheds are lean this season.
-
Couple days ago. while shed hunting, I got dangerous close to one, maybe 30'. Stumbled onto it's den. Wasn't defensive, but did stop to take a look at me. Maybe that explains, part of the reason, why I haven't found many sheds.

I got plenty of headroom in the doghouse! LOL.

It is a 20 gauge stainless steel pan about 6" tall. I started, a few years ago with 2 steam table pans, Each pan was about 1 gph, evaporation rate. It was homemade out of 2- 30" range oven units bolted together. Cut a square hole on one end, with a vent below, where I attached an electric fan when more draft was needed. The other end was a 6" stove pipe, for a chimney. Cut holes in the top for the pans to fit in. Cost me the price of the steam table pans and a few bolts, about $60. Nice little starter unit and worked rather well.

Early May is such a great time to get out. The air seems so much fresher, birds are chirping, and the area starts a nice fresh look of green up. Sometimes, I forget the reason being out , getting caught up in natures new beginning. Not until that first gobble in the faintest of light, do I come back to my senses. Oh ya, I'm turkey hunting, LOL.The main thing is to enjoy your time out there. Getting a bird just adds all that much more to a great time already.
-
The slowest and most time consuming is my evaporator. I'm running a wood fire under a 2' x 5' pan with an evaporation rate of about 6 gph. The seasons over here, already looking for improvements for next season. I know a future sugar shack is in the offing to get out of that cold wind.

Nice. Most advise not plugging the holes. Something to do with bacteria. Let them heal over naturally. Most of mine healed over by deer season. The 5/16" taps holes close even quicker.
