    Christmas Gift Ideas for hunters

    I wanted to buy a flashlight to go with the shotgun I am giiving the youngest one here. A streamlight and a cheapie basic one so the good one stays with the shotgun. I picked this one up at home depot for $20. HAs green and red lights too. Thought it would be good for a fellow hunter on your...

    Bluehill 2025

    Im guessing spotted latern fly's probably get killed with malathion too. Not very high on the nasty level for pesticides like some others are. Get a extension wand for your sprayer. Could esily reach up 10-12ft up the tree with it. I went semi-pro with a backpack sprayer and a milwaukee...

    Good basic new pump shotgun

    I would of bought him that Winchester. However, oldest kid wanted to pick it out. Paid double that for a mossberg. Might need a 12ga if all the kids got em. They still make browning bps shotguns

    Wood burner in a blind.

    Nice buck. Nice muzzleloader too. What kind is that one? Got regular iron or those fiber optic ones? Open areas I normally use one with regular open irons. More wooded places I use a lyman peep sight with the front sight painted in glow in the dark paint. White isn't so great, shoud paint...

    fishing reports

    Nice walleye. My best chance for walleye is the lower niagara river in Naigara Falls. Sometimes go there for training at the power plant. Wife likes New Years there. Probably doing that this year. I use spoon n spinner for steelhead and walleye is a bycatch. Usually toss em back since I...

    Live from the stand thread

    Got the flu last weekend of regular muzzleloading here in NY. Window hunted from home. Just another day for the rye/clover doe factory, mom n 2 kids. My home doesn't have a ton of land, so I use the scoped omega. Make sure I hit em good. What are you PA folks using for flintlock season...

    Bluehill 2025

    Nobody needs hunting land really. People want it, your parcel looks nicer than the other guy's, he will not mind paying the extra money. Helped a buddy put a foodplot in and some mild improvements to hunt there. New owenrs liked the house, but kept talking about the foodplot out back. Even...

    Beans and rebounding from EHD

    the neighbors pay land tax on your bedding is good. You can be less quiet on your land. I would focus on a good seclusion route from those thickets to your property. Like a maze of spruces that you can run a mower though the maze once a year. Could mix in some dogwood in thee too. Little...

    Shotgun for Turkey Hunting?

    Same here. LH bolts feel wierd. I do alot of offhand practice. So unmounting the gun to rack the bolt just make your shooting better. LEarn that cheek weld real good. The only left hand firearms I own are traditional muzzleloaders. Rock or bits of cap in your eye and face is not fun. For...

    Security door?

    MAke the windows are visible and nothing of value can be seen. Gun safes bad. Storage shed with tools, tractors, or atvs are probably the main target. Block your ATV with your tractor. Often atv's are just rolled onto a truck bed. Adirondack camps, often the generator is the only thing...

    350 Legend

    Can you get a savage stock w/o a magazine hole? Or block the magazine from accept rounds. Haven't used it a ton, but the CVA scout seems pretty decent.

    Winning the battle to establish conifers

    Cant speak of other spruces. But my heavier clay isn't all that spruce friendly. They grow, but the white pine beats them hands down. Ones that are more needed, like screening spots, its worth it to ammend the soil. Think the combo is best. Pine for quick concealment, and spruce behind...

    Trail Blazing Experiences

    Winter is a greta time t owork on it. Easier on the motor with cooling, Easier to see what going on with no leaves and snow and the ground is frozen. Keep on her, seen a few good places go to heck in a few years. Too think for the deer too.

    350 Legend

    I thought my 308 win axis is easier to latch in the magazine with the bolt open. I always get 2 magaines and I number them. The 2nd one I bought for my 450 marlin would jamb up heads on the roof the bolt lug pocket area in the barrel. Never knew axis line came in stainless. Pic of the gun...

    350 Legend

    395gr sub-x is about 950ft-lbs of energy subsonic. Hronadys 250gr ftx is 2600ft-lbs. No suppressor, but anted a quiet cartridge for hunting at home. Mother-in-law gets grumpy. Now it sounds like the guys down the street instead. Got me inspired to add lead to my 450 marlin browning BLR...

    Imox residual

    Now that I think of it more, its probably better to have your plots brown on google maps than bright green. Here the other 2. Now that I think of it more, it was 24oz per tank. I considered the 15 gallon tank goof for .5 acres. 48 basagran and 40 gly. Only 1 application . Weekends wee...

    350 Legend

    Always wanted a good 40 cal deer rifle. Scooped up a CVA Scout 450 bushmaster this summer though. Added 2 pounds of lead to the stock and it kicks like a baby with 395gr sub-x and 19 grains h4227. Those legends ever make it to lever gun platforms? How the recoil compared to other guns?

    Imox residual

    This is what 20oz of ly and 24oz/acre of basagran looks like to sedge. All my foodplots are bright brown in google maps for the next year or so.. Doubt I had residual issues. Had rain issues Im pretty sure. Dry late summer. rye oats clovers and a bit of brassica mix. broadcast and trie...
