Hello, I'm vipertech and I have DATHS

[vipertech]

Deer And Turkey Hunting Syndrome.  I'm hoping y'all can help!    ;D

Wife, two boys (17 and 12), dog, cat, rabbit!  I hunt family property in the 8F WMU near North Rose.  I also hunt around Macedon.  Uncle has a place up in the Constableville area adjacent to a lot of state land.  Haven't been up there yet however. 

Just introduced my youngest to turkey hunting this past spring.  I think he had a good time even though we didn't get a bird.

Welcome, but I think the DATHS will get worse with this site

Hey Vipertech , glad to see you made it over here . How are those Williamson deer looking ?

Neighbors of yours (the Mays ) have been complaining about the deer eating up the garden but still won't let anyone hunt the property .

Welcome, there was a place near Williamson called the Appletown Gun Shop. Bought my 700 there, is it still open?

I know the May's very well.  They are surrounded by some pretty good land.  Unfortunately I don't believe anyone is allowed to hunt in that area.  One of the owners of a large piece of that land had one of their prize Great Dane's shot by mistake.  That was quite a long time ago but they still keep out all hunters.

Nope.  The owner died a few years ago.  The entire inventory was purchased by a gun shop out near Sodus.  I bought a few guns and a lot of ammo from Appletown over the years.  Was sad to see the old man go.  I've thought about buying the place many times.

Welcome!  You suffer from a chronic mental illness that is incurable.  You will have to live with it until the day you die.

Side effects are nice though.  Excitement, euphoria, adrenaline, peace and happiness.  Not a bad mental problem if you have to have one.

;D

We have breakfast with the Mays almost every Sunday after Mass . Carol doesn't want anyone hunting their property but she was thinking about it when the deer got her veggies . She did ask me to shoot a woodchuck for her once . Jim asked me a couple times if I wanted to set up a trail cam and I told him no sense in teasing myself . We cross sountry ski & Snowshoe through the orchards sometimes .

The guy who owned the great dane that was shot , puts an ad in the local Penny Savers every hunting season for at least the past ten years .

Yeah , once the owner of Appletown Gun Shop died , it went downhill . They had a nice little shop . There aren't all that many gunsmiths around any more . Dave Dentico at the Custom Gun Shop in Walworth is always busy and finally got someone to watch the shop while he works on guns .
