Didn't get out for bow except for last day saw momma and 2 little ones - passed em by. hunted opening day gun saw 3 does and 1 pretty good buck - no shots. Went out Sunday - walked out back door - 2 does in the yard under the apple trees. head to my stand shaking my head. Saw nothing while hunting. Come back - again 2 does in the yard. Monday rained all day. NOW Yesterday...worked in am and headed out to my stand about 1pm. Was still hunting my way up when i went around this pine tree and there in the opening was a dead 8 point deer with 1/2 its side skin blown off, innards intact. rolled him over, small bullet hole on entrance side. Called DEC and waited for them to come to file a report. They lopped the head off and gave me a tag so I could give the meat away to a guy i know thats out of work BUT the butcher said it was no good (Thought it was no good but gave it a try). Needless to say, the afternoon was shot and by the time DEC left it was about 10 after 4 - no hunting. In 40 years of hunting, I never came across a shot and left/lost deer. I'm guessing since no one really hunts by me (all private land) that one of our local road hunters/poacher shot it. the entrance wound was low, exit high meaning the deer was shot from downhill which would be the road most likely. Shame!

Finally caught up with my big guy. Shot at 7:30am today with browning bolt action slug gun, lightfield slugs. Deer was shot at about 70 yards and went 30 before dropping. Now for some doe action.

Golden! Congrats

Nice job

I have had a projector set up in my entertainment room for many years with a 100" screen. They are cool as heaven. Watch movies, tv, and use the ps3 with it when bored. Replaced my 1st bulb a few months ago. Still have a 63" tv in the room since the projector runs video out of my a/v receiver. I'm lazy like that.

Ammo still flying off the shelf. I ordered a case of 233 62 gr hp last sunday from targetsports. At the time, they had 20 cases in stock not to mention the 99+ cases they had of the fmj and 56gr 223 in stock. When i checked the following day .. sold out of it all. Holy smokes !

I still find it hard to see in bright conditions. Also i get a warning to power off if transducer is not connected. I took some thin aluminum to make a sun shield for it.

Have not been to a movie since top gun came out

I have the striker 4 plus cv i use on my kayak ... its a nice little unit.

His mistakes.... jeff sessions as ag, making chris wray fbi director, not firing comey right away, not cleaning house from the get-go.

Tanaka...in use here for 10+ years. Starts on second pull. Normally do about 3 hours of wacking per cut. Cons-they ain't cheap
