  1. Dodge Ram Floor Mats Got a set of Heavy Rubber Dodge Ram floor mats.. These were purchased from the dealer and fit and work out great (had them in a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500). Got rid of the truck, but still had the mats. $50, prefer local pick-up as I would prefer not to ship.. Located in Hamlin,, PM or text at 585 738 9163
  2. I have always had good luck on little panther martin spinners
  3. way to stick with it... Perseverance pays off! with a whopper of a bird
  4. great job!! came across many jakes this morning, but no Toms... Been hearing a lot of gobbling as of late, but never heard 1 this morning.. maybe last nights storms had them off today
  5. Grizzly's in Hunt, NY (near south end of Letchworth).... The best I have ever used by far. The are a professional meat processing operation and hang the deer in a cooler for a 10 days+ before cutting. Makes such a difference, like night and day.... Most places don't have the space to be able to age them..
  6. way to seal the deal.. great buck!
  7. I use 15/15/15 for everything... If you buy a ton at a time, you can save $$$
  8. my camp is in an area with a lot of agriculture (it has actually grown steadily in the 10 years I have owned the property). For me it seems like giving them a really good food source coming out of rut and into winter has made the biggest difference, especially if you have a lot of thick cover around.. The deer do not have to move a lot to get quality forage and are protected from some of the elements.. This year, I planted about 5 acres of brassica and purple top turnips... the deer will start eating the turnips as soon as they start growing and it usually takes a couple of hard frosts before they hit the other brassicas. Since I have focused on this approach, our gun season yields have increased significantly, the number of quality bucks has increased and the overall deer size (body size) has increased as well. I am certain some of this is the increase in agriculture, but I also believe that the quality winter forage is helping as well... I am sure others have different views, but this is my approach... BTW, the PTP will serve as a good hunting plot as well.. Shot a decent 8pt 2 years ago on 10/1 and he was crunching loudly on a turnip when I hit him good at 17 yards... Lastly, Turners Agway in Hemlock is a great place to buy fertilizer and seed.. It is my go to place and you can get seed for a fraction of the "big name" prepackaged brands..
  9. I have a springer that I hunt with that is built the same way.. Solid and muscular at 62#, which is big for a Springer, but he does not look it... He has great stamina in the field... Love the look of your dog and sounds like he is going to be a great hunter.... We should all be lucky enough to have one great hunting dog in our lifetime.... I have mine and hope that you have yours!! enjoy!!
  10. Does anyone know if there is a place to get ethanol free gas in the Hamlin area?
  11. Was fortunate enough to go to the weekend rounds of the 2015 Masters.. All I can say is AMAZING!! TV does not do the course justice... It is one of those things you need to see and experience in person. It should be on the bucket list for any golf fan!!
  12. That is an old girl.. that are not easy to out smart.. Well done!
  13. A buddy of mine got one for his 14 year old daughter.. She can handle it well and now it is his go to gun when she is not hunting..
  14. 3 inch federals.. They are "rifle accurate" out to 200 yards. A really unbelievable slug gun,, Anyone that thinks you need a 12 gauge for deer is mistaken... I have shot 7 or 8 deer with my 220, with the 3 inch Federals and don't think they have gone 100 yards combined. Enjoy your new purchase!
  15. This one is looking a little thin too... LOL
  16. I have 2 Moultrie 550 Trail Cameras. They are less than a year old and have not seen a lot of time in the woods.. They looks like new. Nothing wrong with them... I have more cameras than I need and I am not a big fan of the Moultrie menu. Each camera is loaded with fairly new batteries that will get you thru the season and then some. $100 takes them both (firm). I prefer not to ship.. I am located in Hamlin, but also go downtown ever day for work.. PM me if interested
  17. BTW, I have planted all kinds of brassica from WTI, Bio Logic, etc... For some reason the stuff I get from Turners, they start eating much earlier in the season. Took a nice buck last year on 10/1 that was crunching on PTP when I shot him... Good luck
  18. Turners in Hemlock... He has everything you need at reasonable prices and is knowledgeable as well...
  19. very nice.. where is it located?
  20. I would highly recommend Farm Family insurance. I have my homeowners insurance (we have a Horse Farm) and my camp insurance with them. The approach things a little differently than the "normal" insurance companies and their prices are very competitive. Good Luck!
  21. A couple of thoughts... This time of year, south weest and west winds are the prevailiing direction, so you should take that into consideration when you set your stands. Do not jeopardize being winded by a mature buck.. It is highly likely that you will never see him again. I have a similar situation with a buck I am hunting.. I have a stand set at the southeast corner of a field.. I have no option to get a stand down wind of his travel corridor. I can only hunt it with a NW to East wind. I have to just wait it out. I tried hunting it a couple of years ago with the wrong wind and the big boy showed up and was gone, never to be seen again. Be patient and wait for the right day...
  22. you might want to check Sheards Gun Shop in Bergen... They have a bunch of stock for older guns.. Found a stock and forearm set for an older Winchester .22 there.
  23. Try Troutman87 on this site... I know he has advertised that he has a couple of different size torpedo molds and sells the weights on this site.
  24. one of my favorite days of the year
