Which LS do you have in there? Sounds like it's got some displacement so I'm gonna guess it's a 6.0.

Edit..Sounds healthy!

The Minnewaska fire did seem pretty big at the time. Associates of mine live in the New Paltz, Gardiner, Kerhonkson, Napanoch areas and they were sucking smoke for days! The Canadian fires last year were the worst for smoke in northern Ulster… eyes watered and breathing was labored if you were outdoors.

My wife and I were an hour NW of Austin, Texas last Summer. The smoke from the Canada fires made it all the way down there.

Barely had 2/10ths over here Sean. Guessers say maybe more on Thursday.

That's funny stuff, and I don't even know what a skeg is .

Broken skeg.

Where all you guys are in NY, do the lakes freeze or can you use your boat in the winter?

I'm in the Mid-Hudson Valley... north of some of the other guys. We use boats year round...


The Hudson River in Athens, NY (just north of Catskill).


The geese have a bit of trouble though...

Why does it always seem that when you want to use a gas powered tool it won't start. One of my brothers wanted to borrow my Husqvarna pole saw to take down a limb. I pull it out to make sure it runs. The damb thing would not start. I found it had no spark. The kill switch works fine. I pulled the coil out to find this. SOB ran great 6 months ago.

I have determined that my saws must be afraid of the wood. I always start them in the shop before I head to the woods, get to the woods, won't start.......

When I was a kid and the Hudson froze solid, I actually went out on them. My dad had a pal who had one. We “sailed” out of Croton-on-Hudson

I think in all my years of owning saws that I have had to only change 2 coils. My 372XP OE had a sporadic coil a few years back that would cause the saw to skip. The other one was a 268 that I turned into a 272XP. That one had a coil that worked when it wanted to. This coil never gave me a problem. I bet this pole saw has less than 10 hours on it.

At Athens there is an island in the river. I believe all the industry that used to moor on the west side is gone and the channel is on the east side. With that the ice is good on the west. It did seem odd to walk on the river though!

I think that day, it was the coldest I have ever been in my life. I dressed like we were going hunting and I was sorely unprepared for the wind. I was amazed how fast they’d go and froze due to it

Yeah! I’ve had that experience! Unfortunately more than once! Out on the river the wind whips up pretty good too even without you moving!

Well, can't say I don't know anymore, unless I flat out forget .
Thanks, I was wondering.

Another "Non-Legal" shooter! This is getting absurd! This is NOT a young deer!

Can I buy a Brow Tine!

If you stare long enough they grow… I always blink a few times to make sure it’s real.

buck like that is one of the reasons I think states with antler restrictions needs to revoke them every so many years. Sure you get more mature buck, but no one can take out the goof balls from the gene pool. Like every 10 years, remove the restriction for 2 years. I'm not a horn hunter to begin with, and I've let many a big unicorn buck walk in the past few years.

They should say 3 point or beams of over 12". The goal is not to shoot young deer, it should NOT be to preserve genetic defects for breeding. If this continues, we will not be able to shoot any deer!
