Ed Kennell 43,527 #53 Posted October 21 Pa. muzzle loader opened this week. This is for doe only and I had a doe tag. A cool 45F morning and a good day to butcher. 7:15 this fat doe stopped at 30 yds and the smoke pole did the deed. 9:am 10am ready to make sausage. 2 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 3,774 #54 Posted October 21 You butcher too quick Ed. Gotta stick 'em in a fridge quartered and just above freezing for a week before cutting it off the bone. We still haven't gotten anything this year. This week isn't going to be real great for hunting time, but Thursday we are going to to advantage of the Jr/Sr special firearms season. Hopefully he gets a shot off. If he can get one in his sights I'm pretty confident he'll drop it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a spike in the parking lot when I left today, I acted like I didn't even know he was there and was able to walk across the lot a couple times and get fairly close without spooking him.

Ed Kennell 43,527 #62 Posted November 29 (edited) Yesterday my Amish neighbor asked to hunt in my tree stand this morning. The first day of Pa rifle season. I had all ready filled my buck and doe tags in bow season and his 14 yo hired helper took a nice buck with his bow from the stand. He said he didn't have the required orange to wear so this morning I walked to the tree to give him an orange hat and vest that I no longer used. Before I got to the tree I saw him coming with a horse pulling his deer. Pictures won't load..error 200 @nylyon Edited November 29 by Ed Kennell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 8,501 #63 Posted November 29 Starting Monday, going to start upgrading things around here, my biggest fear is things may look different but we’ll see what happens. One thing that may help, take a screen shot of the image, then see if the screen shot loads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I realized I had rotated this one before trying to load it. So I rotated it back to its original position and it loaded. rotated -200 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adsm08 3,774 #66 Posted Thursday at 12:18 AM (edited) Between the three of us someone finally got one: My son and I saw this one and another one in the field, shot and missed, and drove them right the wife. It's her first deer ever. Edited Thursday at 12:21 AM by adsm08 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Um ..Ahhh that fork lift don't look like a horse or something the Amish would have Ed Dog ... Came back last Monday from two weeks in Spike Camp. Not much luck in the woods saw plenty before and even after the traditional WI 9 day gun season but nothing on the buck pole. Monday morning the day after a big bruiser eight comes in but the smoke pole at home. Oh well I don't know how to shoot it anyway. Muzzle loader season starts immediately after gun season here. Just don't matter I go for the food and drink and peace and quite of the big woods anyway. On the other hand it would take me to sell my five deer rifles just to buy a pound of low speed beef. Some trail cam shots of what was out there and we missed. My cousin did score this with his x bow on the property. Edited 17 hours ago by WHX?? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Said his 3yo was playing on the fork lift and lost the key. I put a switch in for him and told him to hang the key up where the boy couldn't reach it. He has gas and propane powered engines that power water pumps, a brush hog, equipment hydraulics, air compressors, generators, battery chargers, and the fork lift. The only Amish restrictions I see are: 1. he is not connected to the grid except for his land line phone that is located in a booth 200yds from the house. 2. he only pulls his equipment with the horses although commercial trucks are used to spread lime and fertilizer and deliver feed and equipment. 3. no work or sales on Sunday 4. he will not pose for a picture but has no problem if I take candid action pictures. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 14,989 #70 Posted 2 hours ago 3 hours ago, Ed Kennell said: Amish restrictions As your neighbor may have explained, the faithful don’t consider them restrictions--they are observances and practices grounded in their system of beliefs. Specifics are typically set by each denomination’s local Bishop with advisement from elders so there are quite a few different interpretations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
