  1. Hello everyone... I am just checking in. We spent the holiday weekend up here in NY getting ready for opening day (10/18). I think we have some great stand locations this year.
  2. I purchased the TomTom One about a year ago. I have been very pleased with it. It is a very basic GPS as I did not feel I needed all of the 'extra' features (Hand Free Phone, MP3 Player, Video, Games, etc..) some have. I payed $199. Now I belive they are around $150.
  3. Thanks everyone! My wife surprised me with a Nikon Rifle Hunter 550 Range Finder for my birthday.

    Crap!

    How do you know you were denied in Iowa? My application states results are not available until after July 18th. I applied for zone 4.
  8. Sorry guys, but I have not had an opportunity to upgrade my archery buck yet during the gun season. The good news is I still have two more weekends for regular gun and 1 of muzzle loader left.
  9. The NY regular (gun) season opens this Saturday (11/17). Hopefully I will get lucky and be able to upgrade from the 8-point I shot with my bow.
  10. Hey Everyone... I shot an 8 Point Buck yesterday with my Bow. I have added it to the entry tread but here are two pictures of my buck.

    Hey billkay

    Did I just see you on Born To Hunt on the Outdoor Channel shooting a buck in Iowa?
  13. We put one in a few years ago at our hunting camp. It definitely was one of the best things we ever did. It sounds like our was in the same shape yours is. A little sanding and some paint is all it took to get it looking great. Come hunting season you will love it.

  15. I bought a 46" Sony LCD last November and just could not get used to the picture being streched. I ended up setting the TV back to 4:3 ratio for regular TV and 16:9 for DVDs and widescreen HD TV.
  16. Well the NY Turkey Season is over for me. The official end to the season is Thursday however I will be traveling for the rest of the week for work and will not be able to hunt. I am sorry to say that I will not be contributing to the team score this year. Good luck to anyone whose season is still open.
  17. I started wearing contact about 10 years ago and would never go back to my glasses. I remember the first time I tired to put them in after I got home from the eye Dr's. It took me a good 20 minutes to get them in. I thought I would never get used to it. I did not take long for it to become second nature. I do have the occasional morning when they sting a little at first but that is usually just because there is fuz or something on the lens. They do tend to dry out after an extended day (16-18 hours) or when it is extremely windy but I think that is normal. Don't give up on them that quick I think once you get used to them you will find you get better vision than you did with your glasses.
  18. So my father & I went out this morning. When I arrived at his house he said he had a plan based on where him & the neighbor saw 10 turkey last night. He was going to send me to a new location on the edge of a cut corn field and he was going to head to my usual spot since that was in a little better location than his. Well I no sooner sat down when I heard him shoot. I was a little disappointed that I was not in my usual morning spot but still glad one of us got one. Hopefully I will have better luck this weekend.

    Groom Shower When I got married 2 years ago a few bridal showers were held for my wife. We also had a Couples Shower which I was not sure of at first but I basically ended up being a Groom Shower as all of the couples that attended gave us all sorts of tools and manly household items.
  20. Do you have any pics? What size tractor did you have this on?
  21. Opening Day Well yesterday was opening day of the NY season. I went out for a couple hours before work but I did not hear or see a single turkey. All I saw was a young buck and a red fox. I will be out of town this weekend so I am planning on going out again tomorrow morning. Hopefully things will change and I will at least see a bird.
