Nice new rig upstate....  Stay safe on her and good luck in thewoods

DRob, yes I drive, but have to take another course.... I guess 27 years of experience doesn't count in NY anymore....LOL
All our drivers have to have EVAC training, or the insurance won't cover them. Not a bad thing, but most of the time the courses are 30+ miles from us.
So it takes a lot of time and money.
Thanks HNY and LH and the rest of the guys. The truck runs like a raped....Ape....LOL Also has an awesome engine brake that works with the Alison
Transmission perfectly. You don't have to touch the brake until it releases at 10MPH. Plus the traction control, and true locking Differential are some great features.
We had it out again last night. Pulls a hill that most cars shift down on in 5TH gear at 55mph. Just a beast.   The new quartz led lighting is like daylight.
We are waiting for the brow light and the two detatchable scene lights for the back. They will put the radios in at that time and then it will be in service.
We also hope it doesn't get used much!! Funny, we all want the best new equipment but hope we don't have to use it.
But it is great to have it when you do need it.

Status is hurt something ticked off.... The truck died tonight. Rear end went in it, yes it's a Dodge!!! So talking to the wife, with the front end needing
Ball joints, tie rod ends, shocks, and who knows what else. We are better off junking the dang thing. Just another set back in a long line the last couple years.
May have to go try to talk to someone. My anger is boiling, and I'm not sure how to calm it right now.........

I've calmed down a little this morning. Looking on the puter for a replacement. Either parts for the Dakota or a new vehicle. Neither is a realistic possibility
right now. That's the frustrating part. Putting the boat back up for sale, don't have anything to tow it with now anyways. Got to be an easier path to take.
I just have to find it.

[Raquettedacker]

And I hope MOM hits the jackpot...............

When I said your going to have to figure out how to butcher it without me his reply was " well I can skin it,cut it up and debone the front leg's" "I'll have to figure the other parts out I guess"   

[upstatehunter]

Only way to learn.... I'll tell you a story sometime about deer processing.

[drobertsinMaryland]

He sure knows where the backstraps are.

[bogmanjr]

Think Im going to take a supervisory role on this one.   Might not cut myself that way.

So mad I could explode right now. Put scent out and recharged the mock scrape yesterday evening. Forgot about the time change today and was sitting here posting away this morning when I noticed it was getting light out. In a panic I flew out the door to head to my spot. Rounded the turn and yep Tony(No one likes) the guy that married into the family vehicles parked along the road. No hunting for me this morning, I just kept on going and drove a half hour back here. Seen deer all around on the drive there even saw deer on the road where my spot is at. Guess its my own fault hope he's not hunting the area I put scent out in.

[upstatehunter]

I would have been in my stand anyways!! He may just push Tiny right to you!!
