Very very tempted. What's the story behind primetime? You selling scions this year?

gunfun, Sevin is used as a thinning agent as well as a insecticide. When about 3/4's of your pedals have dropped is the time to use sevin. A bit controversial with bees still visiting the tree. NAA is used a little later and is easier on beneficial insects. Would like to find a chemical...

Got me a 30-30 glenfield. Shoots ok. Usually only buy a new caliber thr oldest buys.

I should probably sell the gun. But, its an old friend of mine. Been in the woods about 2 decades. Not sure if the Thompson center omega harvested more or not, but shot the most deer of any center-fire for sure. New Chrono wouldn't wake up today, so not sure of the speed. Batteries were...

Many people put them in garages and do just fine. You can cover the with a blanket to keep the more stable concrete temp. Just make sure the blanket doesn't bump into the grafts. The same with the basement, cover it up and expose it to concrete more. Slows the swings down. Either is...

Peeked at a tree or two today in zone 5/6 Hudson valley NY 1 mile from large body of water Hudson river. Chestnut is an early waking one, buds still small n quiet. cold coming in Weds / Thursday. If you got bare ground, good time to lime or frost seed. Pears wake up before apples usually...

Suppressors are well suppressed in NY. Progress is banned here..... Would like a muzzle brake on it. Need it threaded for it. Emailed a guy who specializes in Browning BLR's, no response yet. I found a practical reason to slow it down too. Matching trajectory of my T/C omega. I...

Got a disc in my neck that's bad. Few years ago, was hesitant to do surgery. Went back this year and he wasn't interested in even doing cortisone shots. Just physical therapy. Had to give up auto racing and snowmobiling so I don't end up in a wheelchair. Shooting it later today. Stuffed...

Westwind, Love my Milwaukee saw. I use it for trail and shooting lane maintenance, Fruit trees, I usually don't use it for, except major old tree cleanup. ARS makes extended pruning shears, I got a 6ft one. That and my 10ft orchard ladder, almost no apple tree I have I cant clean up. Odd...

They're easy to do. You mess up, the rootstocks still grows anyways. Got grafting tape or ceranwrap, a good sharp knife, some electrical tape, and a bucket of soil. A few advanced tips. IF you can't get scions fresh from the tree, make sure your ends are sealed when stored in the fridge. I...

I'd have wickson and hewes before I got otterson. Wickson is the cats meow. Otterson I believe I s used for a single variety hard cider. I dug up my reffield and gave it to a coworker. Cider burns my stomache up, and my wife wanted a empire or two out back. Redfield is good too. Knowing...

Cummins nursery in Ithaca NY used to have a class. If weather one was close, I'd go to it. Might be around 100 grafted trees by now. About 50 of mine and 50 given away as gifts. A lot of good tips on here. Little surprised how quiet the scion thread is.

SLN said they used ranetka on harder to graft crabapple varieties. Might be on that, who knows.

That is angry orchards main ingredient for their regular hard cider. Not sure why they went with braeburn. Maybe they couldn't market it for fresh eating, unripe........ Which one is Franklin cider? Upper or lower pic?

Anybody knocker their canon down a notch? Replacing the scope on my browning BLR 450 marlin. Loaded up some 300gr pills with a starting charge of IMR4227. Also bought a mercury filled recoil reducing tube. Went with the heavy 16oz one. For the weekend stuff the hole in the stock with...

Keep it wet with wd-40 and run a drill on low speed with a bronze bronze bore brush. No way it could be worse than a neglected muzzleloader. Done a few over the years.

Get that choke out yet? Telemark, I believe thereis some steel specific chokes out there. Shooting steel or bismuth? Used to use larger shot so it would pass through pheasants and grouse more often than not pass. #4 shot usually. NY has a law require non-lead ammo on state lands. Do it...
