More good information. There is a ton of stuff one can do in the area. I hope all of my ducks get in a row.

Nice river images.

Did you see this recent thread? http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62029 I looked at that thread and opened up the links to see for myself. Right now I am doing a lot of searching online for various things to see and do. Like I stated we may never get this opportunity again f...

Ok. I am not trying to curse myself but if all things fall into place my wife and I are going on a three week vacation of sorts. We're headed to Florida where she is going to her business convention while I will try to shoot a couple of feral pigs and ship the meat back to our place. After that we p...

There is a lot of good information on this posting. In two weeks my wife and I will head to Florida for a vacation and a convention for her business. After that we should have two weeks left on our time off. I was thinking of heading north through Florida the cross westward through Alabama, Mississi...

Same here in Connecticut. It seems they are all gone except in people's yards. By the way nice shooting.

In my youth having Polish and Lithuanian roots the standard was baked ham, two or three types of sausage, potatoes, kapusta( that is cabbage or sauerkraut in Polish) as well as some type of green food such as green beans or peas. Today my wife and I will most likely eat out. We may go to this place ...

Happy New Year to all.

Prayers have been said. I wish you the best in this situation.

Nice shooting.

bigbore442001

Excellent tip. I see that brand on the shelves yet never tried it.

bigbore442001

Not to go off on a tangent but to me one big factor would be the amount of property tax. Personally, I believe property tax to be inherently evil. Imagine owning your own home free and clear yet you have to pay a tax on the place you live? If you really hit hard times and do not pay that tax then wh...

bigbore442001

Well. I am off my soap box for a while. I have to go to work now . 6. Not enough people doing that . Why work when in the state of Rhode Island if you can qualify for all twelve entitlement programs you can get over 45,000 dollars a year sitting on your duff in an easy chair? Sorry to pick on the O...

After working in the education field for twenty years and the last half in special needs and substance abuse affected that is pretty much a huge commonality in the problems behaviors I have seen.

I wish you the best on your retirement. In some ways I wish I could retire now. I would take a trip and do a scouting run of sorts. Spend a week in both Kentucky and Tennessee. I know this is common sense but sit at a local small town restaurant and get a feel for the culture of sorts. Find out the ...

Good shooting my friend. Over here bunny season starts in October and ends in February.

bigbore442001

This may be a silly question but can you use that gun for bear protection in the back country? To me that would be an ideal canoe gun so to speak. One could paddle north on one of the great rivers for the entire summer. Oh here I go day dreaming again.

bigbore442001

Thank you very much. Unfortunately last night we had to take my mother to the hospital. She has been given some new medications and there may be some unseen side effects. Also she is having trouble with her diabetes. She had another hemorrhage in her eye so her vision has been diminished. Not the be...

bigbore442001

It appears you had a great time. Where did you hunt?

bigbore442001

I wonder if the reason they aren't smiling is that it may have been considered undignified at that time in history to be photographed smiling?

bigbore442001

I love those vintage photos.

bigbore442001

Thank you for posting that. As I watched the short movie I could imagine myself in the setting. I do have a sense of nostalgia.

bigbore442001

Excellent shooting. Flintlocks can be a lot of fun and frustration at the same time.

bigbore442001

Many states in the US allow night hunting with lights for varmints. Some like my home state of Massachusetts allow night hunting for varmints but not with a light. It goes back to the old days when the state had few deer and the main worry was that someone could state they were hunting fox but actua...

I like that capote style jacket you have. I suspect it is something you made.

bigbore442001

Since you will be in the area, you can drive another hour north to the Springfield Armory Museum in Springfield Massachusetts. I will be honest, it was run better years ago but it still has a good assortment of firearms that were made at the Armory as well as machinery that was used to make them.

bigbore442001

It was a nice story. I liked many aspects of it. The commentary just shows you that both of our societies have its fair share of idiots.

bigbore442001

Hmm. As a child my father and grandfather had IH Scouts. I'd love to see them brought back to life, so to speak. Simple, hard working vehicles that seemed to be very durable.

bigbore442001

Nothing wrong with using an optic on any firearm to enhance its performance. Don't laugh but some put red dot sights on their guns for hunting the North Country.

bigbore442001

We took a little later than I planned this morning. The ride across Massachusetts and into Upstate New York wasn't bad and we arrived safely. One negative is that around North Hudson NY the rain started to come in. It seems that when we took exit 30 to the High Peaks area of the 'Daks, the clouds an...

Outdoors shops. Mountainman Outdoor Supply co of Old Forge. Blueline in Saranac Lake. Don't recall the name, but there is a nice one in Keene Valley. Mountainman does kayak treks I believe on the Moose River. Visit Grizzle T's or the Rusty Nail in Saranac Lake for nice, modest tavern environments. ...

Thanks for the replies. Treeman, I would appreciate any information regarding any sort of tourist attractions for the wife as well as any sort of off the beaten path curiosities. As an example, I was doing some net searching and there is some sort of film festival in Lake Placid this coming weekend....

bigbore442001

The wife and I debated on where to go and came up with a mutual decision to take a week off and head to the North Country of the Adirondacks. We're both looking forward to the time off and obtaining some relaxation from the day to day drudgery. Not to be too forward, I'd appreciate any tips or insig...

bigbore442001

Wool is great. Cotton kills,especially when one is cold and wet.

bigbore442001

Wonderful images.

bigbore442001

I'll make sure I take plenty of images. I've never been up around the Lake Saranac region nor Old Forge. It should be interesting .

bigbore442001

Nice to see a few moose around. They look sort of goofy with their long legs and noses, but if you have ever hunted them, they are not that goofy. There are a few around my place but it is bow hunting only and I gave that up a while ago. I'll agree.Far too many people think moose are stupid like th...

Thank you. I was tempted to call in sick for today but we're going on vacation in another week to the Adirondacks.

bigbore442001

I have a 50-year old pair that's probably down, but is sort of two layers of satin like fabric with down or whatever 'quilted' in about a 1/4" layer between them. They're awesomely warm, vs. the ordinary "thermal" stuff. When they give out, I hope I can find decent ones like that. WO...

Well, we're on the tail end of a heat wave here in Southern New England so that means I hole up with the AC running and become like a raccoon and come out at night. Anyways I put the on demand channel on and watched the latest Longmire episode from A and E network. I see that the main character carr...

I've never heard of the green safety sticker? What is it and how does it work? Thanks, The green safety sticker is a circular sticker that has printed Hunt Safe on it. If you don't have it pasted on your shotgun you may be fined $75. by a Massachusetts EPO. This came about because of a turkey hunti...

bigbore442001

I went out for the opening morning of turkey season in Massachusetts. On Sunday night I put one gobbler to bed( that is when you scout at nightfall and make some owl calls to determine the location of a roosted bird) I had my Thompson Center Black Mountain magnum 12 gauge loaded with 2 oz of no 5 sh...

bigbore442001

Yes. For both archery deer and wild turkey. It is great for such an application. What I do like is that I can wear it over my work clothes and then go to work or vice versa.

bigbore442001

I saw that on another forum. I know of a New Hampshire game warden who was trying to release a beaver from a Bailey cage trap and it attacked him. It bit him through the upper thigh and it was killed to have it removed.

People think beavers are cute and cuddly but quite the opposite.

bigbore442001

This has been a somewhat unusual winter for us here in Southern New England. We didn't get any snow until after the deer season ( here in Massachusetts the end of muzzleloader is December 31st) which in a way was a blessing for the deer. Winter was not as bitterly cold but snow stuck around for some...

bigbore442001

I wished someone made such a small caliber like the 31 with a long barrel such as 6 to 8 inches. To me it would be great for plinking and small game.

I looked at the loading data. I am not all that impressed with what I see. Maybe there is a niche for it but not in my book, so to speak.
