New England B.S. Thread

Well, when you usually don't log on to a computer on the weekends you fall behind....

Happy Monday for me!

Saturday was opening day and I hunted an area that I didn't have a doe permit for. So of course I had a pair of does hanging out in the afternoon
Snapped some scope shots of them, though. Sorry for the funny angle; it was the only way I could get my phone's camera to line up with the eye relief on my scope.





And then today I took the day off from work and met up with my buddy who lives in Rochester in Zone 24, where we both had doe permits this year. He bagged one around 9, and I dropped one around 10.
Mine:


His (in front) and mine once we got back to the truck.


Neither one of them set any size records; his was a 2 year old and mine was probably 3. His weighed in at 98lbs and mine at 110. But, they're meat in our freezers!

 

Looks sharp, Cam!

 

Thanks gents! Glad it fits...

 

Cam, looks great!

 

Congrats Noel. My buddy just bagged a buck yesterday. He sent me a picture let me see if I can post it.

Nice work Cam!

 

Here you go Noel.

 

Thanks!
I'd rather have had a buck, but I've always hunted meat and not trophys, so it doesn't really matter to me. It's just that Bucks typically have more meat than the does do, lol.


Nice looking six pointer. Did he say what it dressed out at? Looks like around 120-130?


Edit-looks like he placed his shot better than mine. I was shooting uphill and she was on the run, but I still held it a touch lower than I should have.

 

IDK but I'll find out. I'm sure I'll be getting some of it sometime soon

 

Any recommendations on stripping bed liner off ?

 

Off of what? The poly bed on the 2nd Gens? Painted steel like in a 1st gen?

 

Painted steel on my runner .

I'd go with a heat gun and a set of these: (and a mask for the fumes, lol)
I've heard that bedliner is ridiculously difficult to get off once it's cured, though.

 

Yikes. Hopefully he wants to strip the paint too, haha!

 

I've stripped a couple of cars with this stuff. Works wonders over anything else. You NEED gloves and safety glasses as it will burn if it gets on your skin. A fan on low blowing fume free air at you wouldn't hurt either - just try not to have it blow on the stripper as it will dry it out too fast. I would pour a bit into a container and use a cheap chip brush to apply. Cover with some 1 mil plastic to drive the solvent into the coating. Then use a shart putty knife or even a woodworking chisel at a shallow angle and scrape it right off. It works even better if the surface is warm - I would let the car sit in the summer sun for a bit and then apply the stripper. The paint would immediately bubble up. The stripper at HD just doesn't compare. FWIW, you can probably get it cheaper at an automotive paint supply jobber.

 

Hate it when the strippers dry out too fast.

 

I'd like to know more about the sharting putty knife

 

Well that makes one of us...

 

Hey, just saying sounds like a pretty unique tool. Not sure the actual utility of it though.

 

Maybe the dry strippers use the sharting putty knife for something?
