  1. I love the bushnells, they have never let me down and are great on battery life. I usually get about 6-8 months on 8AAs. I've owned quite a few in the $150-$300 price range and the bushnells are still working hard. My original is 7 years old and still works flawless. Good luck which ever brand you go with
  2. So I uncovered the rig today. Only to find my trim cylinder had cracked over winter. From looking online it seems all mercury motors tend to have faulty seals and have a lot of problems cracking. Some say it's covered by Merc and others have not been so lucky. I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem and do I call a shop or take a chance on a eBay cylinder and a rebuild kit. That being said does anyone have lead on a good boat guy on the west side of rochester. I doubt an 06 motor is still covered by a warranty but I'll still call Monday. Any help would be great, thanks
  3. I tapped these ameriglo sights in and they work just fine
  4. If you have trouble finding one The Firing Pin in Bergen has a few.
  5. I have a model 93 heavy barrel which I have to agree with everyone is a great gun. I picked up a Henry .17 Henry varmint express lever action...which is also an awesome and fun gun to shoot
  6. I own a 92, it's a great gun. I would recommend just having your wife hold one to make sure she has a comfortable grip. It can be bulky feeling depend on her hand size. My wife has small hands and my XD40 sub comp fits her hands better.
  7. I'm glad you mentioned the the bait pile. I often wonder how many guys that want Ohio regs would like or love the bait reg. I can see both sides of the argument. I hunted in Ohio and didn't realize they baited during the season. Honestly I felt like I was cheating the whole time .
  8. Southern Ohio outfitters looks very promising ...my wife bought me a hunt last year for my birthday through eastern Ohio trophy whitetails (i would not re book them) anyone wanting details feel free to send a PM if considering them. The land and bucks were good the outfitter not so much.
  9. I'll second the lightfields also out of hasting barrel. Can be pricey but they group like no others I've shot out of my 20ga rem 1100.
  10. Had 6 doe at 45yds then a small 4pt came running in checking does and busted them all up. Of course not a single doe came my way and no big boys around to push the 4pt out.
  11. Nice buck! Very slow in 8c today. Had a small buck running a doe right at 7am and a lone doe at 730 and not a thing since.
  12. 775-2434 is the number I have for him
  13. Steve Tillich on manitou rd by mill rd is decent. I've always been happy with the results think his price is $80 this year
  14. That dark yote would look nice on a wall
  15. That's awesome, I've always wanted to try out that places since it's about a ten min drive. I'll have to book a day for sure now.
  16. That's a mint buck for sure! Congrats
  17. My spot has been over run with yotes this past month. I have 3-4 on my camera almost twice a day when I check. I also have had two nights I've seen 20 deer mostly all doe with fawns . The harsh winter didn't totally drop the numbers in 8A by the lake.
  18. Saw a few doe at first light and then this yote was creeping around ....he came in to me making a kissing sound
  19. this wide old six strolled through last night at 548pm and i got this new buck on camera during the pouring rain Tuesday night
  20. Lake side for sure had a solid hour of shooting ....haven't even shouldered our guns at our spot
  21. Hunting braddocks bay .... A lot of sky busting going on ...should of went to the deer stand
  22. Just got in from the stand. Saw 8 total all doe with little ones and heard a young buck grunting up a storm. Also saw nice looking yote at about 60yards,tried calling him in with a kissing sound but no luck.
  23. If you want to stay inexpensive look for bows that are sold under the store brand but made by a top manufacturer...dicks has bows called like "rack attack" but the bow is made by Martin which is a good company. They are usually $399 ready to shoot. Cabelas does the same thing. Your accessories are generally basic but you can always upgrade next season. You'll save maybe $100-$200 and still have a reliable bow . Mission also offers nice bows that don't break the bank
  24. I hung a new stand last week due to the deer getting in the one area later and less chance to spook them. I was pumped last night to smoke a big buck in the am until I double checked the regs last depressing to say the least . Ive had 3 bucks grunting up a storm so far and nothing but does with baby's in range Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  25. Good thing in the the great New York State you can't keep a firearm on you while bow hunting. A small .22 pistol would have got you two nice coyote mounts. That's a great story though Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
