Inquired about sending a pistol in for repair. The place they wanted me to ship it was in/near Utica, not to whatever state they're making them in now. So I drove it there instead. (didn't end up leaving it with them, but that's another story)

I'd like to go back and do it again. Of course I'm almost 20 years older now, so it might be rough. Went up the Abol slide and down the knife edge. Only we left WAY too late in the day for July temps and it was killer. We were out of water by the time we got to the top. (and I brought 3-4 times the "recommend amount" of water/gatorade. Thank god for water filters.

Here's a pic of the range with all the shot up and blow'd up trucks and armor. (from one of the Houghton 2gun matches)

This year I'm planning on using my special blend of no till corn. I like to put it down four days before opening day.

Pottersville... no wonder, no one wants to live in one of those decrepit little shacks.

I've shot deer nine times with a .38 S&W. Okay... I shot two deer nine times with a .38 S&W. Okay, both times were to administer the "coup de grâce". The first time I tried it, I fired six shots into the neck where it meets the skull. It didn't work. I ended up shooting it again with a bigger gun. The second time I tried it, thinking placement was the issue last time, I shot it in the back of the head. None of the bullets got into the skill. The last shot was almost at muzzle contact range. All it did was make him dizzy. It never went in the woods with me again after that. The one in the rear is the .38 S&W

They told you that you won, when you didn't. That's not the same thing as winning and not getting the prize. Small claims court would be a waste of time. The club sure has an issue though, a dishonest member saying he sold tickets that he didn't. Though they gave him the gun anyway, so it doesn't seem to bother them that they have a liar and a crook in their midst, and that two guys actually got screwed, not just the OP. the other guy got it worse than the OP. The real seller actually WON and got nothing.

There's something out there... and it aint no coyote butt.

Only been confused once because I was being stupid. I knew exact;ly where I was in the big picture, just not which way I was going. No sun, no visual indicators. My problem came BECAUSE I was trying to use GPS. My GPS wouldn't get a signal an the battery on my phone was about to die. Instead of using my brain, I kept trying to get to a spot where my GPS could get satellites. After far too long of that game, the idiot light came on. "Hey stupid... you have a map and a compass!" Solved my "problem" in about 15 seconds.

I learned to use them (Elk calls actually) when I was kid. Not for hunting mind you, but for making strange unidentifiable noises in class.

I watched some video the other day where the guy said he preferred to hunt he end of the season in NY. It got me thinking... but then I remembered why I started hunting as early as possible, the damn flies! Having to wear a full head net full time and walking around in a black cloud of bugs is not fun. At least least early in the season the first few hours of the day are enjoyable.

Nothing goes to waste in nature, something will benefit.

A generalization that may not be accurate. Too many variables. My kayak is probably more stable than my flatter bottomed canoe and many many many times more stable than my rounder bottomed one. lol But I'm still more likely to get wet with the kayak, and if I were going out in the COLD water, I'd take my flatter canoe (and sit low, maybe on the floor)

As a child, through my early 20's I would watch any and all wildlife / nature shows and documentaries. Now I struggle to stay with them, getting bombarded with political agenda.

Did he hit it with the truck?

Just an NEF.

I pretty much had to put a dot on my single 10, it shot so high over POA. IIRC it's a cheap Simmons under that tape (lol) and I'm kind of shocked it's help up all these years.

Knowing Suffolk they'll keep their 5 cent law on the books after the state law kicks in and it'll be 10 cents. Didn't we switch to plastic to save the trees?

Thanks, that was my assumption based on web cams and family... but none that close to be sure.

Anybody been ANYWHERE near by? Unfortunately the person I would normally contact about this recently passed away, so I'm sort of at a loss.

Etsy is a good place to look, lots of people selling their goods, small shops that don't want or can't afford a large internet presence. I've bought a couple leather items recently.

Oh red squirrel is great! The way I describe it to people is... put some over cooked chicken in your mouth, some pine needles and a couple old pennies. That's what they taste like.
