loading ammo now is easy peasy lemon squeezy

i had a leatherman multitool in my carryon (it has the standard knife). cost me 80 bucks. they confiscated at JFK. said, you can either go drop and come back or we confiscate it. my flight was about to leave, i said eff it, take it. I replaced when i returned. my Credit card style multi tool in...

thanks all. for the recommendations. i will be better prepared for next season.

i like duluth, most of their clothing is for big guys (unfortunately for me) how does hunting with jeans work. i thought deer will pick out blue?

after yesterday's mis adventures, my clothes were so noisy, that it spooked dear instantly (it will take a while for me to get over the missed buck, i hate failures) any brand/fabric/camo recommendations, that can help stay stealthy, warm, dry, invisible. appreciated.

Omg. I came back to same spot put my blind on. It’s last day in PA for hunting. 40 yards buck came out, by the time I grabbed my rifle my movement alerted it. It bolted. 2 seconds later doe came out and followed it. It’s a six pointer. This is not my year. 1 more hour I am calling it in and head...

I have tracked From the beginning to see if it doubled back. Wife came along. We tracked further than last night. Another 30 yards from where I stopped last night, there was lots of blood in one bedding area. Looked like buck spent lot of time there. Circled around the tree. The trail went one...

I recently moved here (about 3-4 weeks, new house). Don’t know anyone. My neighbors hunt for sure. Just didn’t get enough time to say hello still settling in. it’s country side, next door neighbor is few acres away. Probably rude to to show up and say ‘hey man I am your new neighbor, need a...

I gave up. Will look early in the morning. Temps are low. Only hope is it lives long enough. Just feel awful it wasn’t a clean shot. I thought it was. I made a lot of n00b mistakes as to not wait long enough for it to rest. I left my blind somewhere in the woods as it got heavy while tracking...

will do. As long as there is visible blood trail I will rest and continue to track. Have to call off before dark. Not good getting stuck in the middle of forest.

Amount of blood yes. Lots of it.

50 feet from the second one I saw this

my bad. I need to def calm down. I am in the middle of thick brush. I cannot see anything beyond 30 feet. Using rifle scope as much as I can. On the positive note I am continuing to see more blood. thanks

First pic and second pic are two different locations, with steady trail in between them. I have stopped at second one now and can see more blood ahead of me. Just sitting here with dilemma should I just follow it. Or wait longer

deer jumped after being shot moved slowly and ran. I could not locate any blood AT the location. I almost gave up but decided to enter inside the brush and started looking. About 40 yards from shot I saw puddle of blood I posted above. One or two things might have happened. Without any...

I am almost 300 yards still following blood trail. Any tips? Should I wait to track or continue to track. It’s been at least 1 hour 45 minutes. Going through very thick brush. This deer might have outsmarted me

I shot a buck and have been tracking for more than a hour. I am about 150 yards from shot taken. I am loosing the track :(

without entering, i could see less than 20 yards inside and it is a dense brushy area, with deer trails, i would have to sometimes crawl on knees to track them. i measured in google maps, that would stretch approximately .6 mile to the next unpaved road [measured in a straight line]. there is...

not westchester, but literally right across the river, precision gunsmiths. really nice guys. dad and son operate it. i have used their services recently. https://www.precision-gunsmiths.com/

need advise. snowed a few inches yesterday, i went out around 2 pm. after walking a mile. i saw fresh deer tracks crossing pipeline. 2 separate deer tracks few feet apart in same direction, moving from NW to SW direction. i am guessing by the amount (or lack ) of snow accumulation on the tracks...

i am off on friday, except i have to attend a meeting mid day. bought portable blind, that i can carry easily. should be getting it on thursday. that will leave me 2 days of hunting left in the season [season ends on saturday in pA]. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083LXZJRW/ new spot is 1...

i forgot to add 'training part' :banghead: ;mandatory sexual harassment prevention training;

it was a hunting/working day today. 22 degrees in the morning. sat 5 hours in cold and light snow. no deer sighting. i even attended a virtual meeting while hunting, annual mandatory sexual harassment. very productive. lol came back attended more meetings. went back for another 2 hours in the...

PA hunting hours are half hour before and after sunrise/sunset [5:05 PM]. even if i had a tag, i wouldn't have been able to take it, as first week of rifle is antlered only week with conditions.

morning spot was not good. i switched in the afternoon, i scouted that spot. there were lots of deer trails in that area and saw lots of fresh deer scat. unfortunately today there were a lots of hunters. i counted a total of 9 passed in front of me. discouraging, but its public land. i just...

didnt see any thing. just a few birds, i was so bored and started naming those birds. going to switch to a new location in the afternoon. took a lunch break. its nice to be able to walk into the house from backyard.

Waiting for deer

unfortunately, many [including me] would have to get one[vaccine and 'covid passport'], if it becomes a reality. work related travel globally is unavoidable :( quote from article “The second key is the global information infrastructure needed to securely manage, share and verify test data...

came home empty handed. 2 days of nothing. i almost hit 3 deer on my way back home, 1 running across highway, [had to slam the brakes] 2 were simply standing in the middle of the road and wont move. had to honk, to get them going. seems like they were mocking me :ROFL:

new to hunting, i know i didnt want a heavy rifle to carry. mine with scope mounted is just under 6 lbs [barrett fieldcraft], leather sling and ammo added another 3 lbs which made it heavier. switching to a nylon swing should bring it down to 7.5 lbs fully loaded. which is easier to carry [FOR...

First time hunting. Sat in freezing rain and cold weather yesterday for 9 hours. Didn’t even see a damn squirrel. day 2, so far nothing yet. Seeing lot of woodpeckers. On the brightside at least sun is out.

poshmark it. i have sold a bunch of used stuff on poshmark. hassle free.

secession maybe? can that happen?

Not to be a debbie downer but, women are going to be deciding factor this election. atleast some women i know who voted for trump last election are voting for biden this time. I didn't vote last election, Hopefully my vote neutralizes that vote this time. My best Friend and his wife who has...

wait this ammo was .50 cents per round yesterday when i posted those links and now .58? greedy :(

First time ever. I am excited, worried and grateful Trump all the way!

i was at doctor's office recently for annual checkup [new doctor]. they had a question in the form asking 'do you own any firearms' [or along those lines] i dont ever recall seeing that on any of the forms in previous years, [could be new?] i chose not to answer it.

final harvest before taking down last of the plants.

ah, ration lines. good times. [NOT] grew up in india and my family was considered 'below poverty line'. [my dad made 30 US $ a month] so government gave us a 'Ration ID Card'. we used it to buy basic ration supplies at government subsidized and managed store, 5 kilos per head per family. so...

may be on your dime, and an FFL who will accept from private party? i am not sure, never done this before if in orange county, its not too far, probably easier to meet somewhere at an agreeable FFL.
