  1. What a difference. Really looks great. That bar must be one of a kind. Where did u get the idea? The deer really adds that certain something to the mix. Congrats on a gourgeous room, enjoy.
  2. Good looking stands, for a year like this. Did a nice job. You're be pick'en soon. Nothing like fresh sweet.
  3. Did do check over on stands yesterday, touch up, and general testing. Did tree scouting. Tried to figure what Oct. 1st looks like to area concealment. Good leaf stand this year, which, no doubt will hinder. Now know what you Northern zone guys go through, lol.
  4. Really looks good for an old logging road. With a spot like that, almost have a deer on the board already, come season, lol.
  5. We use gallon jugs and half paper cartons. Does work great. Wdswtr brings up some very good points in his post. Mid October is usually still quite warm here still.with the old southern opener date. Provisions are in place for an unexpected harvest come Oct. 1. Might even spoil, with a walk in cooler, one more thing on the list, lol.
  6. Well yesterday, got a good look at the Tom, I had been hunting last May. He was with 3 hens and about 9 poults. Little surprised to see him mixed in with the young'ens, in last years wheat clover mix. Hens were picking wheat without jumping. The poults made me chuckle,every time they jumped up to get kernels off the heads. They look so funny with their balancing act.
  7. This morning, taking a stroll,looking up at a permanent stand, I realized that bow season starts in month and a half, give or take. That's 40 some days from now. Decided, now is not the time to get in panic mode. I'm static. Tree stands need prep, not to mention placement, trimming.; Bow hasen't been practiced with, near enough; Food plots, fields need planting, etc, etc, etc.. So behind right now, never will be caught up. Top this all off with a stupid, finger laceration on my release hand. Is anyone else feeling the excitement in the cool air?
  8. Paul Ryan should be the one running for president. He would of had far better chance against president Obama
  9. Thanks everyone for the kind. To answer some questions, no they don't like rocks, but neither do plows, discs, and other tillage equipment, but other implements are more forgiving than a tiller.They can handle a " few" smaller diameter ones, but don't over due. These tillers are Italian, so they do hold up a little better than some others. I have sold several dozen of these, and don't sell many tines. I do drill into my customer heads, their not excavators.Their slip clutch protected, and that is needed when a rock gets caught in the tines. They do a number on smaller tree roots, grinding them into pieces. Not a grinder for stumps. I'm lucky to have several acres of rock free land. I still plow, disc, and drag-roll my stoney lighter land. My ground has all been tilled before, so it works quite well( many hours of rock pickup time). I have used a tiller for several years now. Doc, I mainly sell these to food plotters. Oh, don't think I'm selling a sale pitch here, just wanted to show how serious into food plots. Think going to have to increase the N, on these plots, being the rot up will use any available up. Going with wheat, oats, seperate areas; sugar beets, turnip, tillage radish mix. Never tried this combo before. Also looking for some carb feeding crop , if anyone has any ideas?
  10. We'll. finally did some tilling. About a month late, but better late then never. Once u get one of these machines, hard to stay out of the field. Usually like to land plow first, then roto twice and good to go. Plow wouldn't go in the ground; to hard, so I'll hit it with the chisel Have to be careful not to over work, turns out as hard as the driveway.
  11. We're still dry. Rototilled 2 acres last night and the dust was flying. Lightning to the north, not enough to chase me out of field. We just got enough to wet the ground at 2 today. It refuses to rain. Figured to get the ground worked to absorb more moisture. Still waiting. Dust bowl anyone?
  12. Wow, thought I had rock on the knolls, lol. So the deer prefer the hemp to the soybeans. Something never would of expected. Something there they liked. Did u ever try sugar beets mixed with turnips or tillage radish, for a late plot? Shooting for some type of replacement for the corn,pumpkins, failed to get in. Any other suggestions for another winter carb. feed? Thanks.
  13. Thanks for the info osbourne. Looks like a good site and show coming up.
  14. What are the legal requirement for keeping lobster?
  15. Welcome to the site. Here's a list of trapper ed coarses below . Look toward bottom of page.. Going for my coarse end of month. Have some problem critters to thin when hides prime. hunter trapper coarses.htm
  16. Proposed Deer Youth Hunt October 6, 7, and 8, 2012; Columbus Day weekend.
  17. Out of that front, we got little more than a wetting. At 6:20pm. last, we received a welcomed, 4/10" in about 10 minutes. Some places on the western side of the county got 2" on Saturday in 10 mins., had flood warnings. Farmers never shut off the irrigation equipment here. The Erie canal is dry from Niagara- Orleans county line east for 25 mile, due to the bank washout in Albion. Repairs on going round the clock. Farmers, who need the canal for irrigation have no source of water.
  18. Congrats to both, nice looking mounts. What about the story? Behind every hunt, is a nice story.
  19. We'll haven't messed with trapping for, lets say 30 + years. Going to get back into it, but no old license so off to the hunters trapping coarse this month. Kind of excited to see the new trap designs, and maybe learn some new techniques.
  20. Glassed 2 hens this morning, one with 5 poults, the other with 4. About size of a bantam chicken. Cleaning up grasshoppers. Nice to see.
  21. Anyone have any info? Sister in law called tonight, said trees were down on Ferry st.. no power, a lot of wind damage. Hit around 8:45pm..
