Always room for one more! Shed hunting and more. Neat find! This shed hunting, one can stumble onto a lot of great stuff. I seen several bottles, and a neat plate on my travels. I'll start a new thread on this.

TY

Paula, you sure get some interesting deer there. Maybe we can see the mature one, if you have an chance, or want to shoot it.

Most stores have one or two heads, with the rest, well lets say " less experienced help," to put it in a nice manner. The Cabelas stores I've been in seem to to hire good knowledgeable sales people. I would hope this new store will exhibit the same type of staff. I assume Red installed the flagging appliances. Good job! Very true to the corner of the building. I look for your footprint in the cement, as I tour the establishment LOL.

I'd be interested in a little more info also.

Their in a good location, on the way to the river to appeal to the people fishing. That might be one of their stronger sales areas. Cabelas, not as much.

Use a Thermocell and a bug suit. Prefer the 1st way over the second. Their way handier in turkey season. A must in picture season too. Let it go for a few minutes to deter the little pest, then let it simmer for a while.

Pan fish are very tasty and a heck of a lot more plentiful, that's for sure. Still fun to call in an old gobbler though. I'm sensing that your sightings were a bit short of the start line this year.

Congats to you and your cousin on a nice double. That just doesn't happen very often, and going to make for fond memories. Read the story on NYAO., very nice and a great added touch to his website.

Wish I had something to knock my lawn back; been cutting it a couple times a week so far. Always like the natural assault weapons against the war on bugs. Natural methods are my cup of tea without sugar to control these little pest. I've noticed large numbers of blackbirds starting to visit the fields. Suppose the army worms are marching in, time of the year for it. Still waiting for some of my sweet friends to drop by. Won't be long now.

Gander also had several racks of knives to chose from.

How did the gun section look to you? What kind of stick selection did Dicks have?

Other then that, how do you like it?, LOL.

A rare, unique, one of a kind mount that looks very nice. I hope that fine mount will hang in a nice area. No sticking in the barn, LOL. I'm curious as to all those wing feathers. They all came off one turkey? Just never realized they had so many.

I agree, it sure not what it was when it first opened. But then again, what store is? Have you gone in that store after the remodeling? We didn't need any help on the floor, but the people in the firearms section were very helpful and friendly. Yes it was the Tonawanda store, LOL. The misses came in and got me headed toward the entrance. She know when you get my son and I together in a outdoor store, it will be hours before the light of day will be seen again. We are going to camp out the night before in the parking lot when Cabelas opens. May just have to camp out the next night also, LOL. Maybe our governor will be there, seeing that he's falling all over this area before election, not to forget my SAFE. act sign.

We live in and area that see multiple hits per year. I've witness some of these collisions. It hard enough when a nice buck gets slaughtered, but even worse to see a doe along the road this time of year, knowing her young will most likely die. I watch deer daily, crossing the road. Most are lucky, some are not.

Do you mind if I send the pics to Dr. Grant Wood for his opinion?

Maybe because they don't have a 209,000 sq. ft Cabelas opening a few miles up the expressway., LOL. I would think the Auburn Bass Pro should keep them scrambling.

Went into their Tonawanda store last week to see what changes had been done. The one thing that impressed me the most , as a sportman was the firearms section. Firearms nearly across the entire back wall. Shelves of ammo to accompany their stock. The archery section was still the "same old Gander Mountain." It may of even shrunk some. One would think this store should of improved tremendously ,since the opening of Cabelas in only a few months away. Maybe stock will increase as the season nears.

Hey Kool-Aid, Oh Yeah Two Cabelas store in New York. Can it be really happening?

Kind of a planting journal. Clover, alfalfa, trefoil, vetch, and grass seedings look shorter and thinner than typical years. Looks like the hay production will be less. Doesn't sit well with me but, it sure doesn't bother the deer any. The chess sure grew good though, as seen in the pics. Took the pics during the lunch hour and found 9 deer in a short distance. I'm sure some have planted fawns in the hay. We usually have all doe and young this time of year, but something has changed the area to incorporate more bucks. Was hoping to get some turkey poult pics, but that wasn't to be. My plans have changed, to a August planting of daikon radish and peas due to still not being able to work the land. Hay will be removed first, to help yield, then hit it with the chisel. Mondays 1 1/2" rainfall sure didn't help. Will shoot some oats and wheat in pre Labor Day.

Came across a few while mowing hay. One in particular, I remember very well as the top of his shell was shaved flat as a table. He was good size, maybe 18" across. Often wondered how he got that way. Should of, would of, could of taken pics.

Super contest this year. Real cliff hanger right down to the last. Congrats to all the winners, as well as everyone that participated in turkey hunting in general. I really enjoyed all the action throughout the season. I prize the stories, as well as the birds. You all have something to be proud of! A special Thank You to WNY BuckHunter for his time spent, running another excellent contest this year. Hats off to you sir!

Yes, only if I could be neighbors with Sarah Palin!

I am patiently waiting the results of the contest. LOL
