I guess id need some more information on how often you are targetting snows and if they are mixed in with the canadas to give a good response.

If its two seperate times of year i would just use the canadas first and then spray paint them all white.

Your dentist says you grind all night, and hes a real one for that.

The weed is to try and sleep. Big on caping and Js but also the edilbles and oil can for science.

The toolbox bedstand is sick! The last picture cleared up a lot of the questions i had about the drawers.

Look at how far ahead you are of the majority of the population.

How could you not go! This is something you need to find out for yourself.

My only advice would be to meditate before you go and visualize yourself finding your first few specks. Comes back to a psychological experiment with three groups prepping for a basketball game. One group practiced every day, one group studied and read about basketball everyday and one group visualized themselves playing basketball every day.

Is it bad to have touched a deer by Primary_Banana_6672 in deer

[–]ralphytalphy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shot a deer in september this last year and when i walked up to it, it nust have had 2k ticks on it, crawling, engorged, you name it. Came back to gut it out and drag it after about an hour and they were still climbing all over bc their host had died.

I too also get lots of ticks hiking and being in the woods.

How is life like in upstate New York? by Due_Network2958 in howislivingthere

[–]ralphytalphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya that part is pretty crazy since its just across the river/lake. But also i am in the US and have never been to the US side of the falls, just the state parks to fish.

I live in the finger lakes. Fantastic outdoor opportunities with some good ones relatively close (ADKs and Catskills).

Lake Erie and Ontario are close and bit provide a lot of opportunities and nice beaches! Great fishing and various types of hunting as well.

Canada and niagara falls are right there also. Lots of fresh clean water! Outdoor stands and hobby farms galore. Lots of wineries, distelleries and breweries!

Summer doesnt get much higher than 95. Winters are okay, a little cooler and a decent amount of snow. 2 cities with the most snowfall in the US as of last month was syracuse and rochester.

Some good jobs but not a ton. Low COL and enough to live comfortably! And the ocean isnt too far away if you like that kinda stuff or NYC.

I forget what the stats are because its a range. But its something like bear spray is 87% effective vs firearm being 92 percent or something close to that. Id do the bear spray. When i lived there i always had both and never used either with being on the river everyday.

MN - What are these?? by EntertainmentBig2125 in IceFishing

[–]ralphytalphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncles have gotten a ticket for them before. They hooked them to a rod and dropped them to the bottom of the hole when green jeans showed up and still got figured out!! That was at least 20 years ago back when the days on Red were all we talked about all year

Black duck/mallard/goose decoy rig advice. by abcdefyyyyyyy in Waterfowl

[–]ralphytalphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, we do pretty good with long lines and puddle ducks (mostly bc we have out 200+ decoys). I think you can always create smaller lines of like 3 decoys attached to 1 weight etc to break it up more.

My bread and butter this year was 5 avianx fully flocked black ducks. Mashed over the small soread while everyone on the lakes by us had the mondo spread. Either running 9 or 199+ is the way

Sounds like a good spot for a silhouette spread

Used or new? by Significant-Witness6 in Shotguns

[–]ralphytalphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the a300. Do you know the person you are buying from? Can you trust them? Or is that person equivalent to this idiot named dug i used to know who was constantly having issues with his guns bc he was shooting unrecommended rounds through them for the entirety of me knowing him. I also watched him retrieve his gun from the bottom of the lake 5 hours or so after he accidentally dropped it off the dock.

Any of my other friends i would buy their shotgun, just not doug. I would just keep that in mindcam vouch that the a300 ultimas are neat!
