Made it down the laneway yesterday, as far as was plowed. Maybe 3/4 of a mile. Squirrels were active in the trees, rabbit tracks all over. Deer trail right out of the woods heading into the red willow brush. Sure was nice to get out in the sun, what little their was.

Would be also interesting what brand and model of cam; what brand of battery and type, just to see performance in these extremes.

Isn't it to the southern people advantage to have a nationwide contest? This is why I like a New York Sate contest.

Just in New York or nationwide? Would be nice to have a fourth HuntingNY turkey contest.

Location: Niagara County Name: Dakon Radish Type: White Tuber Annual Seeding Rate: 8 lbs. / acre Planting date: July 26, 2013 Size, Purpose: 5 acres; Nutritional, soil,drainage improvement, nitrogen stored in tuber for release to the next crop. Soil prep, Method: no till into mowed wheat stubble; 200 lb/ acre 10-20-20 at wheat planting, 100 lb of 46-0-0 broadcasted onto spring wheat April 2013. Soil Type: Getzville clay loam, high spot rocky Soil Test: ph- unknown, Growing conditions, prior crop: Rain within a few days of planting. Wheat Ongoing upkeep; none Results Comments: This was the first time growing this. Seed was purchased from Welters. ($ 2.80/ lb.) Great looking seed. The results were excellent. Weather conditions were ideal. Liked the idea of no till, as moisture wasn't lost in normal tillage practices. Showing through the ground in 8 days and was fast growing. Deer continued to feed right into February of 2014. Far easier for me to grow, than field corn. Did noticed improved drainage conditons in 2014. I field worked a 2014 crop in another field with only half the success. Dry conditions hampered it's success. A nice deer magnet. I will continue to grow this.

Eat Them! LOL. What ever you do, "Savor The Flavor."

At least your seeing them Pygmy. Haven't seen a live deer locally, in quite a few weeks. All nocturnal. Maybe you can find those sheds, once this winter breaks.

Four years ago, Straight Talk didn't identify which carrier they used on the box. The sales associates should of known.

Had Straight Talk for well over 2 years. Their $35 + taxes a month plan. Worked great, no dead spots, great Samsung phone. Make a long story short, hot tubbed the phone, went and bought a new one at Walmart. Wanted a Verizon, sold me a no coverage T Mobil. Went back and I give the clerk a customer from hell, bad day, LOL. Straight Talk should label the package what server they use. Been with Verizon ever since. I don't really blame Straight Talk, I just needed a phone Oh and Verizon couldn't transfer my old number from Straight Talk. Verizon said once you're with Straight Talk and want to transfer to them, you lose your old number. That really hurt.

Location: Niagara County Name: Common, Mammoth, Climax, Kentucky, Common Type: Wheat, Red clover, Timothy, Blue grass, Red Top Seeding Rate/ acre: Wheat 2 bu, and a peck, 7, 3, 2, 2 Planting date: Frost seeded on wheat March 9, 2013 Size: 7 acres Purpose: wildlife feeding; grain, straw, hay production Soil Tillage: Summer fallowed wheat land summer 2012, Usual tillage equipment for soil prep. Soil type: Getzville clay loam with rock traces. Ph Level: 6.227 Prior, Existing Crop: ; Wheat Notes: I use bio friendly methods for weed and insect control. Comments: Wildlife fed on the wheat into winter of 2012, nipping it to the ground . Wheat started growing April 2013 supplying much needed forage to the wildlife. Frost seeded legume and grasses in March on frozen ground. Grass seed in the mix serves two fold: one, helps keep clover from lodging holding it up. Two, makes a nice salable legume grass mixture for baled hay production. (Deer love to browse clover grass mixtures) Wheat grew very well through dryer than normal May conditions. Signs of clover and grasses showed in that time.Army worm damage throughout, but did recover. Fair production of wheat grain (32 bushel / acre) Clover grew through the mowed stubble after the removal of the straw. Nice fill in of clover which became a deer magnet that fall and next 2 seasons. Many sightings of deer, turkey, others, and even an unknown critter that looked like a chinchilla. Woodchuck holes (4) were found during grain harvest. I've grown this mixture for nearly forty years now. Works well for the purpose, I intended. Makes a nice wildlife feeding draw. I recover my seed prices in the baled straw. Wheat and 2 years worth of baled hay production covers other expenses nicely, LOL. Comments: Wheat seed price $5 / bushel , clover $2.80/ lb., Timothy $1.80/ lb., Bluegrass 1.30/ lb., Redtop $5.17/ lb.. Enclosed are a couple pics of better areas of the field. Their are a few poorer drained areas, ( low spots) that don't produce as well.

Red clover is what I always plant. Haven't bought any this year, but last year price was $2.80 a pound. Picking up 60# locally for frost seeding, hopefully next month.

Do you teach photography? If not, maybe you should think seriously about it

They look great. Nothing beats a great calzonie. Any plans on opening a pizza shop, LOL.

Sorry WNY BuckHunter for restarting this new thread. The other thread just got way out of hand. Could someone please post the link again, so some of us can carry on the conversation from where it got derailed.

While in the hospital, nurse asks: Can you tell the difference between pain and pressure?

Phrases that bug me: It's time New York implements " Antler Restrictions Statewide."

This law is exactly the way the last knife laws were pushed through Albany. Judging by the responses on this thread, this will become law also. I have already voiced my opinion on the subject to my local congressman. Maybe it;s time YOU do too!

Here is a copy of New York's current knife law. New York State Knfe Laws.htm

The current knife law in most of New York, with the exception of New York city and part of Monroe county doesn't have a restriction in the length of the knife blade. Their are restrictions, already in place for carrying fixed blades in any area, except while hunting, trapping, or fishing. Some other local multiplicities do have some other restrictions in place, so they have to be checked clearly. The way I read this article, they want to do far more than make machetes illegal, they want to limit the blade length to 4 inches state wide for use anytime. This is far more serious than just making machetes illegal. Come on you hunters, fishing, and trappers; their trying to take more of your rights away! If this subject was about firearms, their be holy hell to pay.

I just went on to look up what the heck you were talking about. How do u choose? They have 25 fruit, 49 sweet treats, 19 drink, 17 tobacco, and 20 wild vape flavors and they mean " wild. " , LOL

I like a good sharp folding skinner for field use. Any knife will do, provided it's made out of some good 440 stainless, and the handles don't cut into my fingers, wood, bone, marcarta, and so on.. Their dam handy in the pockets, and the handle don't poke into my waistline.

I use to feel that way Doc, not to many years ago. Then I took up some Winter time hobbies. It sure makes the season go quicker, especially with these cold , snowy ones. Nice pictures, by the way. Is this one of those picture posts threads?

Nice problem to have! TFS.

What type of game attraction and grazing pressure might be other additions. Of coarse, pictures would sure be a plus.
