We had a guy show up with 2 big vans a few years ago. I was eating my lunch at the truck and had seen them pull up. Vans were loaded with Amish / Mennonite. I walked up and asked the ring leader what he thought he was doing there . He leased the property in the next valley and planned to push my woods .. and 2 neighbors property to the top and cross the road on top and into the next valley. I told him like he'll he was . Called state troopers . Dec and troopers showed up quick . They had not started the drive but were postioned up the road spaced out to start . I told the dec guy what he was doing and that he was trespassing on me and the neighbors . They wrote tickets to all that were on me but the rest he gave a warning . Said there was nothing he could do on the ones that where on neighbors as they weren't present to press charges . The police left and they all loaded up to go . The ring leader had some choice words for me . I thanked him and reminded him that the 2 black vans with Jersey plates sure stood out and would be a shame of something were to happen to them all the way up here in NY. He lost his lease that year.

My gramps on my moms side lied about his age and enlisted . He served in Europe and then in the Philippines. He didn't talk much about it to us . One time he had a few beers and said alot. The stuff he described was horrific. He didn't say much about fighting the Germans but the Japanese he truly hated for the things they did to our guys . My dad's father served in the Navy during ww2.. I know absolutely nothing about where or what he did . He absolutely never discussed a thing about the war that I recall.

Big old bear ... shame nobody was there to let the air out of him.

I too miss the chuckle thread. It's going to get real slow here when deer season ends . It's going to be 10 months of cabin fever and not much of an outlet. The problem isn't the chuckle thread its the crass rudeness and vulger content some people post . Repeat offenders should get a permanent boot . We are all adults here ,we should understand consequences for actions . Shouldn't have to punish the group as a whole for the actions of a few. No bail reform BS .. no pleading for leniency only to do it over and over again. Just my thoughts on it .

All guns in a safe unloaded uncocked. Home defense guns in biometric safes .. my glock is locked cocked and ready to rock 24/7. Oh and all loader and 3 pt attachments are lowered to the ground when not attended.

Dang and he is parked right next to a posted sign . Get him prosecuted... make sure they know he was belligerent... and your scared he may come back and retaliate....

Been in tree since 530. Group of deer went by in dark . Small doe and 4 point came by at 10 yards bedded at 30 yards . That was at 7 am. Just had a medium sized black bear walk up the property line at 30 yards. Sitting until 10 am . Then its honey do time.

Pm sent

Just picked up 20lbs of chedder dogs and 11 lbs of slim Jim's. The wife likes the dogs so I got the ok . Still more than I wanted to spend . Log city meats. Dundee

I don't want to hunt with a group of people I don't know . Muzzleloader one shot one kill make it count versus spray and pray. 150 yds too 200 versus 4 or 500 yds travel . Just my personal feelings about driving.

Only during muzzleloader .We don't during the rifle season . Turned down a group hunt last week because I didn't know any of the other guys that were all carrying rifles .

Seen that myself . Definitely looks like a paw

I'm leaning towards canine.

Eradication... whipe them out .

Joh waynes colt .

Back injuries had me sidelined one year . Last week I drove up in my truck walked 100 yards to a spot on a trail . I set tucked into a big pine and killed a big doe an hour later . Had to drive back and get my 2 sons to dress and drag it and load it up . Another year i was down with bi lateral pneumonia. Managed a trip to my lowest stand on the hill. Shot a 6 point . Dragged it aboutb25 yards and coughing up a lung . Called my buddy and he came up and dressed it took it home . Wife and buddy butchered it while I was in the hospital .

Thats why they need to make poaching a mandatory fine and loss of license. Nothing that can be pleaded down. $1000.00 starting and make the fine bigger for every inch of antler. Same thing with poaching fish, snagging, over the limits. No license should be 4 or 5 times the cost of a licence.

My thoughts exactly.

Little late . Fished the salmon river on Tuesday. Water was 1830 cfm . Ripping wasn't the word. Seen a total of 3 steelhead caught by same guy. Only place we could get in to fish was lower fly only section . All my old haunts were un fish able. Fished south sandy and got 2 small stealhead. Took a ride to Maxwell and fished until dark. 3 small browns. Slow but a good day . No pics to be had. Sorry.

Congreats on a nice buck with the lever 357. Im still looking to get a 44 or 41 mag . What scope model is that . Dont know about the butt out tool ... seems like a good idea . Love me a great case knife . As you can see I have a few . Far right I found on a gut pile need a sheath for it . Far left was my grandfathers. One on the left is my dads. One on the right is my newest one . I used my dad's for a long time sharpened it to a razor all the time . Used up a quarter of the blade . Now its a safe queen . I have way to many knives as I sit here looking at all the ones I have in 2 shoe boxes . Still have more stashed in various places around the house. Wife and kids know better than to ever touch my knives .

I'm like pygmy is with his lady's... I like it all . Leg thigh breast ... the total package

Woke up at 4 am too steady sleet and rain . Decided to wait it out drink some coffee . 5 am I walk out on porch and see a red glow from the neighbors house.. then I notice flames licking up the garage . I call 911 drive over. No lights in the house so I start honking the horn as I pull in . As I get out of the truck they are coming out the door . Garage car and a 4 wheeler are a total loss . Smoke damage and minor water damage to the house . As I was the one to call it it I was asked to wait and talk to fire marshal. My hunting clothes smelled of smoke and burned plastic so I had to change and shower again . By the time they took my statement it was to late to go hunting . Thank God everybody was ok and the volunteer fire departments got there so quick and nocked it down so fast .

Sorry wrong thread

I guess in a pinch a blind is better than nothing but I have had deer avoid blinds fresh put up . Nice tree to sit next to .. back into a blow down .....

Butchered yesterday. Dump run Dr appointment and then drop off meat for hot dogs. Then come home and get stuff around for steelhead fishing trip in the morning with nephew. Have to be honest I'm kind of happy sitting in a warm house sipping coffee. Freaking cold walking dogs at 5:30 AM. Good luck to all that are out .
