Sorry for the slow start on this thread guys. I know the early northern season just opened and guys have been pounding the geese. Busy busy here, kids and Tank are well. Couple nice bucks on camera. I'll post some kid picts soon ;D
-
I look to be high in a tree on Saturday...some OK cam pics, I have really had a late start this year...not a single tree stand up yet...LOL...maybe my lack of preps will put me on a biggin!
-
I guess that's what they made climbers for Scott.
I hope to get out soon. These kids are cramping my style. ;D
-
I've already been out, and hopefully got all the dumb nuts outta my system. Should be tagged out....

You should let him borrow your lucky can.

It mite be a wet morning but I'll be out for a few hrs If I get up from the first night of the outlaw 200.good luck
Fellas shoot straight
-
I hunt a few small blocks of private land and there is lots of pressure on neighboring properties so I stay out of the woods til November...seems to have been working well for the last 10 years and when I start to hunt I hunt at least 6 days a week til the very end it is bow only zone.....good luck this weekend fellas
-
I am going Grouse and Woodcock hunting this weekend rain or not!!! Crazy summer at work.......May 31st was the last time i got out fishing!! Where does the time go?
-
I'll be in the tree stand tomorrow ;D
-
I am after Woodies! Good luck to all the archers.
-
Ill be out there in the stand ready to take a stab at whatever wants to give me a stab, good luck to whoever is about to pluck a duck, troll a line or drop some tines, there'll be no quitters til we bag some critters!!
-
Had a flying squirrel glide down and land right in front of my face just before i started climbing my climber up the tree...I felt the wind from the lil bugger, he stopped to stare long enough for me to get my headlamp on and then scurried up the tree. Heard an owl and spooked a 4 pt. It was great to be in the woods again. Good luck to all.

That's smart hunting PP. Bucks around my place are still in bachelor groups. They have been using an 80 acre standing corn field for cover. Early in the morning you can find them in the open hay fields sparing. Very tough to hunt them with a bow. Once the corn gets cut, they'll go back to the woods.

Hey Big Guy. You can't get a deer with a fish pole. :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol:
-
I like to get in the woods as soon as possiable ,it's not like the old days deer get a pretty good education from bow hunters now days ....I like em stupid
-
Cant wait for the youth hunt this weekend, good luck to everyone that partakes!! My daughter is very excited and my freezer could use some restocking, hopefully we can put one down.
-
My daughter got her shot. Three doe came in but she got so excited she missed. Shes bummed but now want to practice all the time which is a good thing. Ive been out twice so far but was lucky enough to let the air out of a nice doe. Fresh jerky and sausage everywhere but i need to work on my summer sausage...tastes like catfood
-
sorry your daughter missed but I am so glad she went hunting with you ,that's great now how about a few pictures and I'm betting she'll put a deer on the table soon ....good luck to you both!!!!
-
My son in law got a spike with the smoke pole yesterday out back of the house
-
Congrats to your SIL Fred!
-
I shot a doe last night with black powder. Luckily it was a short track and I found her before that storm rolled through!
-
Reeleyz good job I am having a hard time holding off til November luckily my buddy shot an elk and mule deer a couple weeks ago brought back 700lbs of meat so I have been eating good
-
Well done Bruce
And P-P im sorry you are suffering so badly having to eat that awful stuff lol
-
Wow PP. 700 lbs. of meat that must have been a heck of an Elk and Muley!!!
I think your approach is a good one though. Stay out of the woods until it is time. Over the years I have found that less is more. Meaning I see more deer when I hunt less.
-
Nice job, Bruce!
-
First time I have ever eaten elk and mule deer man is it good the Italian sausage he had made is excellent...the elk he shot was 800 plus pounds and the mule deer was 250 something he had a lot of ground made up and pork added real good eats
-
Congrats on the kill reeleyz! Glad you beat the rain, that can make things a bit tougher.
A couple of my friends leave tomorrow for a Reservation out west, for a Buffalo hunt. Can't wait to sample some. :P
-
I heard George wanted a buffalo. I will be going back to KS in a couple of weeks.
-
Congrats on the doe reeleyz, you cant eat the horns. I was lucky enough to put a muzzy through my 1st letchworth St park buck today, the permit to hunt there with a bow or muzzleloader is self-issue online while regular season is still lottery, anyway i shot a 6 pt. Nothing fancy except i had to drag it a mile up a gulley to yhe road but was well worth it.
-
I wish buffalo meat was more available, not talking ground, i mean real steak. When i was young my grandfather would go and stock his freezer from a buffalo meat farm in bloomfield ny, he'd spend $1400 and then sell steak on a stick at the native American festivals, i would eat whatever he couldnt catch me eating.m
-
Those native dancers are easy on the eyez ha

Nice job on the buck dirtydeeds!

good job guys on the deer
-
Nice job DD I bet the sceenery in the park is beautiful right about now those maple trees gotta look like they are on fire right about now
-
Well done DD!
Good luck out in Kansas kc, I'll keep my eye on the herd while your gone. ::)
I heard that the beefalo is delicious.

I see they picked your corn fields Dave. This weekend you should hit the woods
-
You bet Ken, I'll be out. ;) I'd like to get the hunting over with so I can take the boat out a few more times. ;D Then.....ice ice baby!
Also, I found a place online where you can buy an 1/8 of a bison for $490. Cheaper than taking 10 days off of work, traveling across the country and paying 5-6k to shoot one. Might just try it! :P

Great job PP.. You are lucky to have two awesome hunting buddys... :thumbup_smilie:
-
Dacker thank you very much I had a great time love watching my son work the dog
-
I took my mindless Idiot Britt out for pheasants... His collar stopped working and without the ability to fry his arse he bumped all 5 birds 100 yards of more out. At least he's tired now. I really need to work him more :-\
-
Great job pimple pounder , , looks like 2 really happy hunters and and a perky fetcher
Great picks thanks for sharing
-
I took my 4 year old out for his first "hunting" trip tonight. We kept it short, a little over an hour before sunset. The deer cooperated nicely. We had 2 doe come through and we didn't spook them.
Sitting still is a tough concept to understand but we have whispering down to a science. Luckily we were in one of my "blinds" so movement was not a big deal. ;D

Reelyz that is awesome best feeling in the world being in the outdoors with your kids....great job
-
Great pics Pounder and Bruce!!
-
Very cool Bruce
-
Great pics, guys! Looks like a great time with the little guys enjoying the outdoors.
And PP, I only hope a few of those birds were the ones that use my walkway as a toilet all spring and summer. And if not, keep shooting till you get 'em!
-
Great pictures everyone. Thanks for sharing...h2l

Chowdaire thanks and if you ever need some of them geese removed from your sidewalk Little Bill said he would be happy to help you out

great pictures :thumbup_smilie:
just wondering anyone in here hunt with a crossbow?......i'm starting to like it
-
Trap I hunt I an archery only area where crossbows are not allowed right across the street is gun zone and u can also crossbow there when opening day of gun gets here a major migration of deer takes place from across the street right into my honey hole which is why I only gun hunt on opening day then back to bow
-
with the liberal PA bow crossbow season I decided to try it ... now I can hunt the northern black powder season and part of the southern ny bow season I think it's going to be really fun .....I been shooting it and I think I can reach out a little further and the bolt travels a whole lot faster .....i'm sure that new York will follow suit and open bow season to crossbows .....and no worrys I still have my bow and recurve ......last year I took a doe with the recurve first one with a recurve in 40 years that was fun .... this year I hope I get a shot with the crossbow ............good luck to all ;D
-
Trapper, the southern zone is open to crossbow from Nov. 5 - 18th. That's cool you broke out the primitive weapons and scored. :thumbup_smilie:
-
I like the way new york handles the crossbows. To me theyre simplu not the same as a long bow wether that be compound recurv. If theyre going to open the entire bow season too crossbows i hope they make it shorter too. Disclaimer- crossbows should always be an option for someone who can not pull and or hold a bow back.
-
I can see a crossbow in my future as I had to get 2 shots of cortisone in my shoulder in order to draw my bow this year. I shot my brother's crossbow at a target last week and it was sure nice. First shot dead center in the bullseye.
-
I know after nov 5 we can hunt with them :) and frank I can understand the shoulder problems as well ..... PA has showed no harm from opening the entire season to crossbows and now it's a matter of time new York will follow ... we can complain that bow season is to long but the numbers don't lie we have a high population of deer and less hunters in order to maintane proper management numbers we have to get more deer harvested ...if hunters don't do the job regulated federal shooters will ,look at long island ....by the way I got mu Barnett gamecrusher on sale at dicks for 299 dollars 165 pound draw and 330 fps I think it's a quality bow and affordable ....
rugburn it was really fun using a recurve and my heart rate went up on that one ,was funny I could see the arrow and seen it hit
-
When they first started talking about opening bow season up to crossbows I was not onboard. Since then both my mom and father in law started hunting with crossbows and now I think it was a good move. If it gives them a few extra bow seasons to enjoy the woods then it is a good thing to me.
Comparing a crossbow to even a compound bow is apples and oranges. That crossbow is so easy to shoot.

yes and no modern compounds and the draw weights people are shooting now is unbelievable and the distance some shooters can make a good shoot , bow hunting has changed a lot in 50 years and I am sure will keep changing ....reeleyz your right about getting a few extra seasons my old Oneida is down to 52 pounds and my shoulder still hurts ....i'm hunting with what ever is legal ,,, what ever can make a humane shot and what ever i'm comfortable with that day ...i'm not ready to hang my bow up but I can't crank it to 70 lbs no more either
-
I'm all for the cross bow. Even though I'm an archery hunter I'd use a Xb over archery gear in a lot of situations. Nothing compares to the thrill of a bow kill... But I like dead deer any way I can get em in the end. Especially on the grill or in a stew ;D
-
So far I passed on a spike horn and a 1 1/2 year old doe. Figured that doe was a fawn last season and hasn't even had a chance to breed yet. Hate to deny her that fun. But I sure was tempted, she would've made fine eating. If this wind would let up, maybe the big boys will get on their feet. Not many reports of kills as of yet in my neighborhood, time to get to it guys! The next two weeks should get interesting. Good luck to all.
-
I missed a big 150" buck the second Sunday of the season, my bottom limb hit a tree limb.
I knew I was in a bad way when he came in, he was on his feet early that afternoon,
found my arrow clean miss, I knew it was an "all" or "nothing" shot.
Haven't seen him since, he prolly learned just a little bit by it.
And before anybody screams about an unethical shot, "save it", I've had way too much
experience with a bow, and the adverse effect on arrow flight when a bow limb hits an obstruction(a solid obstruction)
ie: 3D archery, practice shooting, etc.
Good luck out there guys, best is yet to come!
-
no unethical shot screams but I did the same thing years ago and my bow derailed and the limb broke ....I had a bruise on my arm for a month and I piece of junk left for a bow, I did basically the same thing you did, nice deer came in I wasn't thinking got to close to the rail on the tower released and my bow blew up when the limb hit ..... that deer might have learned a little but so did you ...thanks for sharing the story you very well may have prevented someone else from making the same mistake and getting seriously hurt ....no matter how much experience we have ,no matter how good we are ,anyone can make a mistake and a accident is only a second away .the tree stand is a long ways from your car or from help so be careful

That spike would a lot better than that nasty thing you shot last year. :D ;) ;)
-
Last season I shot a yote and went to nock another arrow and the nock point was way low. I had hit the arm of my climber and knocked the string off the cam. Fortunately I didn't miss the yote.
-
Fortunately my bow stayed together, but it did shoot low after that, must have stretched the string or buss cable.
Got it sighted back in, throw new cables on it after the season.
My buddy is sitting in that same stand this morning, he hasn't got to worry about that particular tree limb,
it's laying on the ground now! :D
-
Been a rough couple seasons by my standards, so I put aside the stick and string and pulled out Deliverance and put some meat in the shack tonight! Wicked happy, Limit O Slabs on Saturday, nice Buck on Sunday ;D

Fooled this joker yesterday morning after he was acting like a bird dog panicking to find a doe that must of came thru before daylight in a goldenrod field. He did a 180degree turn after a dozen or so grunts at him. Pretended like i was chasing his doe n he came running.

As my wife would say only a hunter would ask...was it a buck?? My last one with her car was 7200.00 and yes it was a buck

I haven't been on here in a while...lots of great stories and pictures, congrats to all...
I took my annual Veterans Day week off for the hope of an exciting rut filled week of deer action. It was all of that again this year. Young bucks were chasing does like crazy. I saw a total of 15 bucks, 3 of which were shooters for me. I watched young bucks competing for does, grunting like crazy and fighting. The last two years have been awesome for bucks responding to calls. I bleated in or changed the direction of most of the bucks I saw, 9 of them within bow range. I saw 18 other deer mostly Does and Fawns with a couple unknowns. The weather was a little bit of everything, from wet and rainy to cold crisp potato chip leaves. Lots of laughs in camp, great food and a couple nights a few too many brews. So election day I was home the night before and I voted Tuesday morning...I got to camp and was in my stand around 1100 AM and I was going to sit till dark. Somewhere around 1500 the woods came alive. I could hear a serious chase going on and coming my way. About 10 minutes of crashing and banging they were headed my way. Branches breaking and grunts flying a doe with her tongue hanging out went by one of my lanes...then a 4 point and then a spike horn. they ran around me for another 5 minutes. The doe hunched up under a small tree about 45 yards away. The two small bucks circled each other trying to keep the other away from the doe. They were all exhausted. They all rested and I heard some noise behind me. Up came a buck I called El Toro from cam pics. He was fresh...A spike pretty tall and wide, looks like a small bull. He ran off the two other bucks and followed the doe off down the hill. The woods went quiet for a bit. A little after 1600 I hear a deer coming from my right. He finally comes out of the hemlocks and it is a good buck. He is smelling the party from earlier then he goes right over to where the doe stood and he licked the ground and sniffed the entire area. He turned and started to head down hill and I let out bleats until he stopped and looked back. I then let one more bleat out behind the tree and he turned and was headed my way. He passed through a shooting lane about 25 yards...I blatted to stop him and he stopped broadside...put the pin on him and watched my arrow through. I hit about 2 inches lower than I aimed ( it ended up being closer to 30 yards) I took out the bottom of his heart. He dropped less than 100 yards from me and only went about 60 yards total. I am very happy with the season. I can't wait until next year. Lots of young bucks!

What a day yesterday was. I took my mom out with the rifle to try and get her a shot at a buck. So at daylight a small buck goes by me, looked like a 4 point. Then at 7:30 she shoots and it sounds like a good shot. So I told her I would stop over at 9 and track him out. 8:30 I catch some movement and then I see nothing for 10 minutes. Then out steps a nice 9 point. He gave me plenty of time for a good shot and I thought long and hard about filling my last buck tag. I shot and he went just out of sight and crashed. I tracked him out. Then I went over to my mom and tracked her buck out. It was a 4 point, not the same buck I passed on though. I went back in and got my 4 year old son for a little tracking and gutting lesson.
It was an awesome day. Just perfect weather, 2 clean kills, and a fun time with my mom and son.

Great stories, deer, and pics Hunt and Reeleyez!! Is that on your home turf Bruce?
Yessir. They don't normally get that big around here. ;D
-
Nice job on the birds SPN.
-
Woodcock and pheasant.
Really miss hunting pheasant.
In the 60's and 70's we had tons of birds.
Even into the 80's.
-
Just plain Awesome Bruce!!!! What a buck, and Mom's too, throw in the boy and you have a memory that will last a lifetime ;D

In the 60's and 70's we had tons of birds.
Even into the 80's.
Lack of cover is the deal.....farms all plant crops right next to each one. No more hedge rows or fallow areas, I actively cut to keep young thick cover for the Grouse and Woodcock. The Pheasants are unfortunately pretty much put and take anymore.
-
Reeleyz awesome job on the bucks love seeing the kids in the outdoors you are doing very fine work keep it up
-
The Pheasants are unfortunately pretty much put and take anymore.
Yea, not worth the effort.
Especially as I don't have a bird dog these days.
Of course, I can't even remember the last time I even saw a pheasant in WNY.
I can buy chicken at Tops.

Shot a 6 pt last tues afternoon. He got up 4 times in the next 2.5 hrs moving approx. 20 yds each time. Put him up again just before dark and backed off. Found next morn. Still warm inside but had a bad smell. Arrow hit liver and lung and maybe pancreas. Jay and I skinned and de boned and let sit in cooler for a day. Smell was stronger than we ever had noticed in the past so we threw it away. A sad story on my 102 bow kill.
-
That's too bad Tank.......this warm weather is not a friend! Congrats on 102 bow kills!! Wow!!!

That is a bummer Tank.

Nice bucks Bruce and Scott, and congratulations to everyone else that has posted.
Got a nice 8 pointer on my 2016 Ohio public land hunt with my recurve, nice to get back there after missing last year. Passed several bucks in NY before I left that were inside 10 yds: 1 spike, a 4, 3 6's and a small 8; now trying to get another good one during gun season with my bow.

Nice buck Captjj and all. Funny how different the meat from Ohio deer is from our central NY deer. The Ohio guys called our deer "twig eaters".
-
Well done on the game everyone and great pics 👍
-
That sucks Tank...sorry to hear...nice buck Capt!
-
Congrats again JJ. That is a really nice buck.
-
Nice buck Captian! Tank sorry to hear the bad news.

Got a decent 6 point last Saturday morning. Tried to hold out for one of the bigger bucks we have on camera but running out of time with the bow and I'm getting hungry lol. Was an awesome hunt. Had 8 different deer walk by and passed on a spike and a 4 point before this guy came in and gave me a 12 yard shot. Put the muzzy through both lungs and watched him tip over after trotting 20 yards. It's been 3 years since I arrowed a deer to the day and I think 5 years since my last buck with the bow. Lots of deer passed on in that time as well.

The balance is tough sometimes Deadeyez, I took a 5 point last year almost identical scenario...thats a beautiful buck congrats!!!
-
Hey Bobby, no shame bro. Wonderful deer. The thing about Ar's looking to the future and passing a deer like that....... "let em go, let em grow" Look if all you want is a slammer, Do what makes you happy, personally its a who pisses farther contest as far as I'm concerned...... Enough has been said on the topic. I'm at the point where I'm less offended by the Elitists posting their beliefs than I am by Guys who want a good one, take a "Bad" one and apologize for it while posting about it. I ain't coming at you specifically, not in any way. But I see day after day someone post a deer and say " I know it's not the biggest...." Boils my blood bro. You took what you took, ZERO need to apologize. I've defended my choice to take my buck to the point where I'm sick. I wanted to take it, and so I did.
-
Well said DD I couldn't agree more !!
-
Great buck Bobby.. Congratulations ... :thumbup_smilie: :thumbup_smilie:
-
That's awesome Bobby!!! Nice shot too!
-
Nice buck Bobby !!

Deadeyez nice shot enjoy put him on the grill

Nice shooting deadeyes n jj. Hard to pass up opportunities towards the end of the season. Seems everyones scrambling to get their rifles sighted in this week. Local gun club upset off a lot of ppl running a safety course this past weekend, and not allowing their members to use the range. Been hearing about it all week from guys around town. Shoot straight.
-
I don't care how long I boil my archery tag, Friday night, I know it will NOT taste as good as the worst cut of meat from a nice little "tender" buck. It makes it a little easier because now my kids want some deer to eat, they really dont care what it looked like walking around. I still fight with myself, should I take him or hope for a bigger one tomorrow. For the last 2 years I eatten my bow tag and the taste is still in my mouth. Yuk.
-
nice deer fellers.......have had a pretty good season myself so far......arrowed a 7 point two weeks ago here in nys......not huge but a good eater.....made my annual bow hunting trip to my buddies place in Georgia and limited out on bucks.....lol......arrowed a decent 8 point on saturday and dropped a unique 11 point on monday that I am having mounted .....main frame 9 with 2 stickers on the base of the antlers.....pretty cool......donated all the meat to the local food banks.......what a great place to hunt.....saw at least 8 bucks and countless does in 4 days of hunting....can't wait till next year.......I hope to figure this photobucket thing out someday to post pics.....hard to believe we can't come up with an easier way to post.....oh well
-
Thanks guys!
-
All the stories and pics are what make the sight worth visiting, thanks for sharing everyone, ill figure out the pic thing someday or my kids will for me ha It be nice if it were as easy as driving a nail or screw ha
-
well I got a funny racked 4 point not much for bone but he was big and he was full rut ...... can't give a big story was wet out I was thinking coffee hit the grunt call and seen him walk right in ....with my archery skills being equal to robin hood and seeing he was 15 yards away I let her fly ..... might have been a little high and may have taken awhile to find him but all turned out well ...I was so happy I clicked a few pictures and laid my trusty recurve on top of him ....set my phone on my back pack...gutted deer taking my time .... kind of lost in the moment it started raining ..... to cut the story short I went to the truck got my cart loaded the deer loaded every thing up and went to make a few calls to brag ..... you got it I need a new phone :(
oh well life is still good I had a great bow season and even got lucky and found a dumb one .....the phone had a crack in the screen anyways

Nice Trap! Sounds like dinner to me
-
Nice job Trap and Scout!

Had a great time in Kansas this year. Saw multiple bucks every day. My last day there was the first day of pheasant season. I have never seen so many birds. It was like being on a tv show. I managed 2 birds and lost a few runners.

I shaved a strip of hair off a nice 10 point. Didn't draw any blood. Then had this guy come in and had a 15 yard shot. It was a little longer tracking job than I figured, but it was easy to follow.

Great job KC... Congratulations....

Last Saturday after noon my brother arowed a buck with the Xbow.. Very close shot. Bolt went through and stuck in a tree... Blood and hair on the rage but not at the site.. Ran into a huge swamp.. He let it go and 4 of us were there at sun up the next morning... Just buy accident we found blood on a sapling 40 yards away where it brushed against it... Blood up high on the wood bout 2 1/2 feet.. But nothing else till we found a spot where we had a "spot" of blood on both side of the trail but that was it... So fanning out again we found this another 40 yards away.. My brother said it happened so fast hes not sure if this is his buck or not.. Seemed kind of fresh, lots of hair and not smelling bad but no gut pile or fresh blood..
My question is can this be cleaned like this in 14 hours?

Raquettedacker, I had a co-worker tell me he had a buck eaten overnight. No pictures so I don't know what he meant by, "eaten"?

now thats a BUCK whats the story?
-
Wow those pics are proof you definitely cant eat the antlers, nice buck. the yotes pretty much had it all caped out for the taxi ha. I shot a button buck while walking out of the state lands in springwater during that snow storm witb my 270. Definitely thought it was a doe but im not too picky this time of year and it was a heck of a shot from that steep hill watching him run through the swamp. looked bigger than a Rottweiler so i let the lead fly. They were giving the 8n tags out like candy might as well fill em. The inner loins were sooo tender.
-
Thank you for posting. Wish it was a more complete ending but it is what it is. It was 12 months ago to the day and I had a broadside shot at 35 yards of a calm buck courting a doe. At the shot he took off with his head high and tail straight up. I really don't think he knew he was hit but I didn't see where the arrow hit either. It was late afternoon so I gave it an hour before looking for my arrow. I found it and it looked OK with blood and no fat or other matter but I still didn't know where I hit so I backed out and waited another hour and dialed a friend to help. He went into a large tract of big pines and tracking was on hands and knees on the pine needles. Every once in a while I'd see a spray signaling lung but it wasn't consistent so I thought maybe high lung. We tracked for several hundred yards and he came out of the pines and got into golden rod where it was really tough seeing blood. It was in the twenties and about 10pm so we decided to back out until morning. I contacted a friend with deer search and he had just given his dog a shot and didn't want to run her that night but he agreed to meet me at 6 the next morning. We took our time getting going but at first light headed to last blood. The dog picked up the track right away and within 20 yards of where we stopped Helen Keller could have followed as the blood was spraying on both sides of the trail all over the trees. We went another 40 yards and there he lay, or at least what was left of him. He's about a 140" 8 point with 5.5 inch bases. The score doesn't do him justice. I have live pictures so I might have his brow tine rebuilt since it's going to be on a different cape anyway. I purchased the Milwaukee flood light for my fuel drill battery and will track until all blood is gone if it ever happens again. I've added lit knocks too. And taken up coyote hunting. The next morning I center punched a big doe and watched her drop 50 yards away. Those big guys don't die easy.
I had left a few deer overnight the 30 years I've hunted this property and never had an issue.

Another beauty for PP! Nice buck.
For archery I passed on a pile of smaller bucks and ended up arrowing a nice doe on the last week of bow.
So far for gun I've seen a couple of shooters, but just couldn't get that clean shot I like. Helped a guy track a wounded trophy on opening day of gun, the shot wasn't good enough as the big boy gave us the slip. That helped cement my decision to wait for a good shot.
Coolest hunt ever yesterday morning, saw three Bobcats traveling together. I was slowly coming down a switch back on my way to the vehicle and some movement caught my eye. A bobcat, no two, wait three. I was only 30 yards away from them, not moving a muscle. Apparently they can't see blaze orange! Didn't kill a thing that morning, but I'll remember those cats for a long while. Haven't seen one in 40 years. ;D

DD my second shot while he was running was right in the neck he was 15 yards broadside on the first shot watch him walk right up the scape line with a South East wind in my face opening day there were 3 scapes on this little bench second morning 7....I couldn't believe he hit it that hard in one night figuring he was freshen them up after the rain so after the rain Wednesday night I thought he might come back and sure enough 720 am right up the scrape line

-
Been having trouble with photobucket but here goes. Opening day we both saw 2 bucks but no shots. Didn't get out again till Wednesday afternoon. I took this nice 8 following a doe early afternoon. And dad scored about 46 minutes later ;D Spent the last few days butchering, making sausage, meatballs, and jerkey...

That is the first deer I ever lost with my muzzle loadeice job..I've had a good season so far I got a total 4 big swamp does and a halfway decent buck with my bow..my good friend bigal and his son wanted to hunt with me last Saturday.so i said ok even though I wasn't gonna hunt at first.so I drop them off I go climb my tree..about 25 minutes before dark I see a deer walk out of the catails I noticed he was really nice buck..i waited paitiants while he was rubbing his horns around in the brush.finally he gave me a shot..the smoke cleared .used my muzzle loader..i sat 10 minutes seen no deer so I said yes I got him..i lowered my gun I made drops down on my climber I see the deer run fall over.i was in a swamp with alot of water so the splashed he leaped he fell over .he done this like 6 times of course my gun was on the ground not loaded.but in total this buck fell over 8 times couldn't stand up straight.then he disappeared into the swamp and high catails.bigal al came over he went the direction I last seen him he seen blood so I tracked him as far as I could out into the high catails I never found him.

Great pics guys
BA that's sucks

Dark Cloud, you and your father did well on venison! Very nice pics too... the little ones are getting big!

There are way more deer stories on this site than on the My Hunting Forum.

Thered be a lot more pages if we didnt have to use Photobucket. Complete pain in the kiester
Great shooting guys. Those kids are growing quick.

Requiring us to use a 3rd party photo posting website like Photobucket, versus Scott allowing you to upload the photo or videos directly here, saves Scott on TONS of server space and bandwidth. For him to host all of the photos and videos that are posted here would quadruple the memory requirement of MFF (not to mention IS).
The cost associated with this would have to be absorbed by someone.
Meaning the need for more advertisers and/or maybe a cost to the members.
This site (and IS) is currently still free to us.
My suggestion - if you don't like PB, find and use another photo posting provider, like others do.
BTW, PB is free too. You get what you pay for.
I use PB, and it's slow.
But for free..................I can live with it.
Just my $0.02

Attack the only part of what you just posted that I understood was the FREE part......and that just fine with me hahaha I am about as simple as you can get but I trust you know what you are talking about and keeping the cost down is a good thing

Great pics DC!!! Looking good Tank!!

Was able to connect on this nice doe the other day. Was stalking along in a willow flat and a woodcock flew up from my feet. I jumped out of my skin. As I was watching it fly away I remarked to myself how it had been years since I've saw one. I took the time to look around and to my left was this deer bedded down twenty yards away. Boom. And she went home with me. Good times.
-
Nice job zadvorney!
-
nice deer,great photo,thanks for sharing
;D ;D ;D
RAT
-
Thank you. I was a very long way from the car so I used the gutless method to debone her in the field. The head shot destroyed zero meat so I was able to get the flank and brisket meat as well. It took me an hour to do the butchering. The meat was wrapped in a cotton bed sheet and tied in a bundle. The pack I brought was too small but two hours later I was back at the car with over 50# of meat. I slept like a log that night.
-
Well done and great report Zadvorney
-
Nice job with the doe zadvorney.
I'm surprised by the number of guys using shotguns. Since rifle opened up in the southern zone I haven't taken mine out. Maybe Ole Black Betty better get out and go BAM! Love that gun......
-
Nice deer fellas....no rifle for me where I hunt is still shotgun only zone

unfortunately, Onondaga county hasn't signed on to the rifle idea yet.......I don't get it ???

I haven't used any gun in 5 seasons. The Mathews barks even during gun seasons but my ears still never stop ringing from previous gun seasons and duck hunting.

Went back to the same area today and walked around for the morning. I have to laugh every time I pass the same game camera someone has set out on a trail. I have no idea how I see them but I do and every time I make the same stupid face. Like "oops" and "I see you" all in one dumb look. I'd love to hear the guy going through his pics "....and there goes goofy face...AGAIN!" I know I'm not the only one on this chunk of public land but if the amount of treestands I've seen is any indication to the quality of the deer in the area then I'm writing my acceptance speech to the Big Bucks Club now. Lots of hardware. It's good to know where they are so when I'm walking around in the future I'll know where to look out for others hunting and give them a wider margin. Best part of the day was finding a stone in the river that looks like a fossilized piece of femur bone. Even if it's not it looks cool.
-
I been walking a bit myself ,got close to a lot of smaller deer even a few that would be shootable if the freezer didn't have meat in it ....been a great season so far I have hunted almost every day I have seen a lot of deer turkey cut a bear track seen fisher porcupines and even met a few other hunters...all and all I rate this year as a big ^5 and it's good to see other hunters are doing well....I have noticed a few changes ...after 6 or 7 weeks of bow season opening day deer are not stupid any more ! no where near as many hunters and that scares me .....I seen a lot of game and sign and not just deer ......and I learned never leave a peanut butter sandwich in your tree stand...squirrels are just rats with fur on their tails ..... son of a gun >:(
life is good
-
good call Trap.........have had a great season myself.............lots of critters and my freezer is full........sweet

Its 1/4 pounder season.... ;D

Looks good, Dom. I haven't ground mine yet. It's in gallon zip locks in the freezer until I get to it. I've been thinking about bringing a couple bags to a shop that makes hotdogs. I like hotdogs. ;D
Do you grind the onion right into it as well, and what's the secret sauce in the jelly jar? ;D
-
Looks deelish Dacker. Good winter time meals for sure!!!

Same here. I am going to get some kielbasa and hot dogs made.
That looks tasty Dacker.
-
That is some serious good eats right there!!!

Looks good Dom! I cut my burger 50/50 with maple bacon. Holds things together and gives it great flavor! I'm gonna have to do some with applewood. Mmmm
-

Yes I grind the onion in and in the jar is my home made chili sauce from the garden . Wound up putting 2 jars in..
All were prefrozen and vacuum sealed 2 to a bag... ;D

Yum! ;D

I use 2 pounds of bacon to 10 pounds of venison.. And I always wrap them in foil before they go on the grill and cook on high for a while than open and just brown them. Works for me..

On a tip from a butcher who does pigs for us, he said try a little beef fat in your ground venison. We were asking about some pork butt to add, as you all know straight venison ground doesn't hold together in a patty. In the past we have done the bacon, sage, salt & pepper for a great breakfast sausage. Anyway, a bunch of guys were together cutting up deer in a buddies barn one day, and I had some beef fat the butcher gave us for free. We mixed 10% into a batch of ground and cooked it up on the spot. Everyone fell in love, still had the great venison flavor we were after and held together nicely. Its the only way we do it anymore (the whole barn full of guys). You can't go wrong anyway you do it, it's all good, but this has become our favorite.

I'm with you, Bacon changes the flavor too much for me. I like my Venison to taste like deer ;D

Its 1/4 pounder season.... ;D
Made me hungry again! You got a drive thru? ;D
Helped a friend process once, he had me grinding the really gnarly stuff. After one pass it still looked rough so I ran it through again. Well it came out um,... kinda pulpy. He freaked a little when he saw I had ground it all to this consistancy. He had me add the tallow to see if that would do anything. still looked.....a little 'loose'. I apologized for not asking him before just going ahead and doing it. Later he called and asked me to stop over. He pulled out a meatloaf he had just made from the batch, it was outstanding! So it turned out not to be a mistake in this case, but it probably wouldn't have made good patties. At least he wasn't mad anymore. (or at least till my Great Dane snagged a huge bag of jerky and ate it on him).

Well the sadness of the end of my 2016 hunting season has come. I have been working crazy hours but was able to get last Saturday off. Headed to camp Friday night and we had some drinks and good food. Lots of laughs. We didn't set an alarm and got up and had a big breakfast. We got a perfect dusting of snow overnight. The wind was light out of the Northeast and the conditions could not have been more perfect. We headed up on the hill with a good strategy to still hunt and ensure we were all in the right areas when deer began to move. We saw 20 deer between the three of us and we ended up with 3 deer before noon. Every deer was a team effort. We headed back to camp and cleaned it up for the season and headed out before dark. What a great ending to an awesome season...I plugged away at the deer all week. I had some of the trim taken to my favorite meat place. I had 20 pounds of Old fashioned Bologna made, 20 pounds of venison Kielbasa, 15 pounds of breakfast sausage. I mixed up 8 pounds of hickory blend ground venison and did it on the smoker. Wicked good and I experimented with a Croghan Bologna. I made 4 cased smoked versions of it. The freezer is packed and I shared 2/3's of that good stuff with my buddies. They each get a medium cooler full. I am very pleased with my season...I saw tons of deer with my bow, I killed one of my best bow bucks and I was able to fill a doe tag and my gun buck tag. Time to shift gears and get ready for winter and I might try to get out and do a little ice fishing...

The other day I pulled in and there were two deer standing in front of it. I wish I could have gotten a picture of that.
-
Thats a freezer full of meat. Let a small buck walk and filled a doe tag instead yesterday.
-
filled a doe tag with my bow yesterday with a nice double lung shot, went 75 yards at most.
One more week of tree climbing before I call it quits and get ice stuff ready.
That blast of deep snow opening week saved a bunch of deer for sure.
Very windy season with more gusty days than I can recall with a ton of SSW. Not much from the east this year compared to the last two years where it felt like I'd never get a westerly breeze.
-
Filled last doe tag with 5 minutes left in the shotgun season last night had my hunting buddy with me what a way to close the gun seasonhttp://s1191.photobucket.com/user/jiggerupper/media/Mobile%20Uploads/1211161626.jpg.html?filters[user]=115168377&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0

I would hate see the bill for all of them.

That's a pile shot if I ever saw one!!!

Time to buy another freezer or two

4 buck 1 doe great year...and my buddy got a buck and a doe today last drive hate to see the season end
Wow, that's quite a season. All in NY?
-
I saw a post earlier that someone was looking for Turkey wings to make calls .......................was it here ? ??? :cookoo:
-
That is me...It was on the Oneida Lake Diehards thread. Filet and Release mentioned it as well as me...you can PM me if you like and I'll call you...or I'll give you my number and you can call. Where are you located? Thanks Dug
PM sent...
-
Great talking to you Dug ....................wings should be in the mail tomorrow ;)
-
Likewise Perry, 2 nice toms in one year is pretty special. I can't wait to see the full mount of the 1st bird you shot this year. Be sure to post pictures here. I'm sure everyone will enjoy it.
So, thanks again for the wings and I can also use hen wings if you hunt in the fall. They have a higher sound and I've read that some guys prefer them to tom bones...thinking that a tom might respond better to a higher pitch I guess.
So, I'll be in touch with you later...it might take awhile for me to get to it; but I'll bet I'll be done before the taxidermist. ;D
-
Hey Dug , my name is Perry(sounds like Terry) ......... LOL I will include my return address in with the wings ! I have them here at work today and will be shipping them UPS later,hopefully they will arrive in a day or two ! I spent many hours in the woods to bag both Toms and I am lucky to have some private property with a healthy Turkey population ! Looking forward to trying the wing bone call :-) I will need some instruction on how to post pictures here. The taxidermist says it will be done by year end :-)
-
Sorry about that Perry, like I said in my PM, now I've gotten both names wrong. ;D (I do need hearing aides) :-\
As far as posting pics goes...Your pictures need to be on Photobucket...then go to the main Forum page and look under Fishing Media, click on Fishing Pictures and click on Picture Posting Instructions by rgfixit...then look for "Posting pictures on the site" and remember after you choose your picture...click on "Direct Link".
It's easy...the "direct link" part is what I always forget...Good luck and thanks again

Got all my new licences in the mail today. Good to go... ;D
-
Dack doe permits too?
-
They sent me mine last week. That's the nice thing about lifetime licenses. Should be able to get doe tags next week or so
-
Dack doe permits too?
No but the paper work says I will receive 2 dmp's for my area in the mail...
This is my 12th year with a lifetime and it's nice.... .
-

It has probably paid for itself too.
I am on season 21. ;D
-
18 for me. I bought the lifetime bow stamp way back for a buck and a quarter. Has definitly paid for itself.
I have a buddy that I kept after until he bought one for his son before he turned 5 years old. I think it was 250.00 at the time. He is now 23.
-
I purchased a lifetime sportsman for my oldest (5 years) son as well. Too bad you don't get a youth discount on the ML and bow stamps...
-
Had a bachelor group of 5 bucks behind the house a few weeks back. Couple of nice big shooters showing the younger guys the ropes. Always nice to see!
-
Mine was $780 back then so it's been free for a year or so..
It's one less hassle to deal with and Dmp's are free.... ;D
-
Dacker, I got the same deal, as did my GF. I think if you but a Lifetime License now though you no longer get the DMPs for free. Too bad! jperch
-

It was 125.00 for my bowstamp and 500 for the sportsman back in 99

I did read that in a couple of years I will be eligible for a free muzzleloader tag. (over 70)
-
It was 125.00 for my bowstamp and 500 for the sportsman back in 99
Yes that is what I paid in 97. Sportsman was $500 plus the bow and ML stamps were $125 each. So $750 total for me.
You're actually 19 seasons in if you include this year. 1999 - 2017. :thumbup_smilie:
-
wait a minute .... your telling me you have to pay for a license to shoot deer....hmmmmmmmmmmm
-
No, you have to have a license to carry a weapon afield in NY
-
that's not totally true KC you can hunt small game on your own property or on land you live on without a license , a farmer can shoot nuisance deer on his farm with permits and shoot nuisance animals such as woodchucks at any time
-
Interesting Trapp. Do I need to follow the small game bag limits on my own land?
-
that's not totally true KC you can hunt small game on your own property or on land you live on without a license , a farmer can shoot nuisance deer on his farm with permits and shoot nuisance animals such as woodchucks at any time
I did not know this exception, here is some information from the DEC website:
You do not need a hunting license if you are:
A resident landowner primarily engaged in farming (including lessees and members of their immediate families) when small game hunting on farm lands they are occupying and cultivating.
A Native American living and hunting on reservation land.
Hunting on a licensed shooting preserve or big game shooting facility..
Note: To hunt turkey, all hunters must purchase a turkey permit. There are no exceptions.

Doe tags are available now

Doe tags are available now
Online? I don't see where, unless it's because i haven't purchased my 2017-2018 deer license yet.
-
definitly online (as I bought mine this morning) and at retail places.
-
Thanks for the reply KC. I will look again later when i am not distracted by work
-
Work, What's that? ( Retired 5+ years)

go to hunting license online. Click on annual hunting items and DMP's should come up

State just made it possible to now hunt with a rifle in our county. Yippie :thumbup_smilie: :thumbup_smilie:
-
I went to the Town Hall and got both 7M and 7F. I would like to fill at least one of them!
-
Wow how this years flown by. Just realized its august and ordered 6 acres of seed. Got a 2.5 acre field discd up and was working on a 4 acre when mother nature downpoured on me outta nowhere. Had a few nice bucks show up chewing on some apples.
Anyone else getting plots in?
-
I want to put in another plot but I won't have time this year.
I took the boys out checking cams and wild blueberry picking this afternoon. Got one nice 8 pic and everything else is small so far.
-
I duuno bigal you hunt the way you fish i put you onem and you still cant get one.hmmmm what are we gonna do with you...that was my monthly post...
-
Go back to sleep Big Guy. ;D ;D ;D
-
Hasnt been dry all year but as soon as i get a plot in its 20% chance next few days 😡
-
Hopefully the forecast is wrong.
I have to say I have loved the temps this summer. No real scorchers.
-
I'm with you there Bruce! The temp this summer has been awesome. No complaints here
-
With the mellow temps I've been able to put up some firewood in August. ;)
-
Got 7 acres of turnips n rye planted. Should be an amazing year. First year with a good set of discs. Got a good rain last night and this am. Waiting game now. Gonna have to squeeze in a lake trip very soon. Lot of ppl been asking for fishfry. Cutting firewood is way behind pace, hard to bring up logs from a gorge with the crazy rain this year.
-
7 acres is a heck of a food plot!
Got both my doe permits. 6K and 8N.
-
Yeah ive had incredible luck on a couple 1/4 acre plots. Neighbor said there 5 acre corn plot wasnt knee high yet. Lot of apples this year but there only half the normal size.

Theres a couple tripod stands for gun season but theres a few bow stands along the edges. Just took a walk back to check cameras. Everything is starting to green up nicely.
-
Awesome!
-
Good luck to all going out bow hunting this coming Sunday! I know it's been to warm out to think hunting, but here it comes. The wood shed is full to the brim. Been shooting the bow the last month or so. Moved a few stands, and freshened up some ground blinds. Just put a pig in the freezer. Let the good times roll!
-
It is hard to believe that the NZ opener is tomorrow. I am not sure when I will get out. I plan on hitting it hard closer to Halloween.
-
Yeah most of my friends are staying in the fishing mode for now. My Lund sits in the attack position, just want to fill a doe tag early, then back fishing. It's hard to do it all and work at the same time! Just a great time of year! Hope the cold front gets here soon, or I'll be grinding the majority of the first kill.
-
How well did you shoot Sunday Dave? I did a 271.
Still in the fishing mode also.
-
Kc you beat me, 267. When did they go to 30 shots? The guy I was shooting with totally unraveled, although it was his first 3D event ever. He left a pair of binos behind early on. The sweat was pouring off of him to the point of fogging his glasses. Then about 2/3 of the way through, he dry fired his bow! That was it for him, DNF. The bow did survive. So, with that I felt pretty good with my shooting. Not my best day, not my worst.
-
He did get them back right? When we got back to the clubhouse, they asked us if we lost any bino's.
I don't usually lose it on the 3d course, I wait until a buck walks in front of me and then I chole.
-
Yes he did get them back, nice honest people at the 3D shoot! Most of my scoring troubles come from not knowing where the points are on the target, like the cobra and the quartering back of a standing bear. We don't walk up to look. From afar the shot looks like a winner, then up close not so good points wise. But that's OK with me, I don't hunt cobras.
-
if your buddy hadn't lost the binos you would have been golden
-
bow opens today up north but I ain't going in 90 degree weather
-
Just had to go out this morning and give it a try. I know I was not going to see anything but could not resist sitting in the stand and relaxing with a good cup of coffee.
-
Hope to see this one one of these mornings.... Nothing yet............ :-\

Doe down at 8am and boned out in fridge by 1pm. Nice to cut one up in shorts and T.
-
Thats the way to get it done. congrats
-
X2 Unless you have a cooler to hang in that's the program for warm weather.
Had a huge doe come in Sunday morning, and I had the same idea as mcully. She was a monster big old gal with no fawns in tow. As I faced her I felt the slight breeze on the back of my neck. The morning wind direction had switched 180 degrees since day break. You guessed it, she winded me, ran back to a safe distance, and proceeded to blow and blow. Every deer in a half mile radius knew the gig. Good to get in a stand! Good luck to all, and keep the wind in your face! :P
-
in warm weather I have a big cooler I quarter them and pack in ice make sure you keep it in the shade and no other animals are around I fed a bear one night this way

Hey trapp for a percentage I'll carry it out for you 😉

Freddie I got a deep freezer your welcome any time :D
-
Dave I see they are cutting your food plots
-
Yeah Ken, they chopped 80 acres of corn in two days. And trucked it to South Town! Quite the feat for man and machine. Now the geese have a nice place to land and spend the day.

My wife thinks I'm nuts but I have 2 refrigerators in our galley kitchen. 5 gallon buckets fit nicely in one of them so no rush to clean a late afternoon catch and plenty of room for deer quarters or boned out bigger cuts. I don't like cutting things up in a cold garage anymore and she's pretty tolerant. Live fish flopping around sometimes gets me a sideways look.

Its been a warm start to the season but with an empty freezer...

Just wanted to give a shout out to Dug1898 .................Thank You for the awesome Turkey Wing call ! It is a thing of beauty with a Scrimshaw Turkey tail feather and 7 Turkey tracks plus it's signed and dated by Doug :thumbup_smilie: :bowdown:
-
You're welcome Perry. I'm glad you like it, I went over and above to make a nice call for you. Being your 7th gobbler inspired me to finally add some turkey tracks to a call. I'd been struggling trying to figure them out for awhile now. 7 tracks fit perfectly and I like the look of them.
I've made more plain calls in the past; but you deserved something special. You were the only response to my and filet's request for turkey wings.
So you won the grand prize, lmao ;D
Plus it was Lucky #7...and you did a great job saving and shipping them too.
So thanks Perry, good luck calling in some birds with it, have fun...
Here's your call...

Here's the second call...

That is a true "work of art". Thanks for sharing....h2l
-
Great looking call! Bet that sounds sexy. 8)
-
Thanks guys, I enjoy making them and enjoy it even more when a bird comes to the call. I'm not a good spring turkey hunter, so I've never called in a big gobbler; but several fall birds such as jakes and hens have met their demise responding to one of them. I've located gobblers in the spring with it; but never had the chance to shoot one...yet. :-\
-
This nice one was hit by a car several miles away... Hate to see them go that way. They said there was very little edible meat left... But they got a nice rack...

CB? Breaker, breaker got your ears on we got a big buck over here ;D

I put three sits in with the xbow not one deer seen.
-
My mom saw zero as well.
It is feast or famine right now. Some places the bucks are seeking like crazy.
-
used my new Barnett crossbow Saturday. Shot my first doe with it. She went 50 yds. As I was watching her and calling my son I looked down to see a buck under me. Did not even try to re string.
-
good job Tank. Hope it wasn't a booner under your stand
-
Nice job Tank!
That is probably the only negative to a crossbow, the second shot. That and they are a little "clunky" to carry around.
-
I've been seeing bucks everywheres, this one behind my house has been duping me every time. here's a few from the heart of the city, wish I could find a hole in that Kodak park fence...

Man it is cold. I was out most of the day yesterday and that wind was brutal. Passed on a 6 pt. with the rifle.
Taking a break today but I will be back after them in the morning.
-
Well Bobby isn’t it nice to have that trout stream close by for a rinse 😉

Great job. Congratulations.... :thumbup_smilie: :thumbup_smilie: :thumbup_smilie:

Thanks guys! Fortunately the creek was below the top of my boots. I don't think it would have mattered either way though 😜

We got a nice 7 pointer with the bumper Sunday morning on our way to a fishing trip. :-[ :-[ Luckily no one got hurt but can't say the same for the deer. Did over $6000 in damage to the car and we weren't even going all that fast. :( :(
-
Bigal, Ouch!! However no injuries is good. Here's one that won't get hit by a car. Found him by our property. From the looks of his eyes, he was more than likely still alive when the coyotes got him. Didn't look over 36-48 hours dead.

good job, but you need to leave a few for seed
-
took em all off state land, if i didnt do it someone else would, most productive day ive had yet, i second guessed myself on shooting the six but then i remembered you can't eat the antlers HA!!
-
I used to hunt private property, I did alot of work for this farmer and he would give me access to his land, I used to do a little but a little wasnt doin so a little got more and more, so I quit that gig and just hunt the good ol nys property, and letchworth. I wish I had land to put up trail cams and ladder stands but ill keep putting them down in my climber and draggin em up gulleys until im not able to anymore. I had some awesome land that i used to hunt until the fire dept and sheriffs leased it out. the owner didnt even give me the option to lease it once the law started asking for permission. hunting land is hard to come by, so I study the state lands and shoot whatever I feel like.
-
You are in a deer rich area. We have a lot of stateland near me. But alot is pine plantions that don't have a lot of feed for the deer. I have private land I can hunt. Also have 12 acres of my own. 30 feet off my deck and I am hunting.
-
Good shootin' deeds!
I saw a pile of doe this weekend but no bucks. One of those doe might be in trouble soon. ;D
-
Great job to all that connected!
I shot a 6 pt Saturday. Then Sunday while watching the Giants game (and napping) the wife says "deer deer". So I jumped to action and shot the doe on our back yard. She does love her venison, good wife!
-
Nice , I hope she let you go back to the game while she dressed it out 😉
-
LOL, she's not big on that part of the job Fred! Still working on the baiting the hook thing. But she can cook, and helps with firewood! :thumbup_smilie:
-
Jay and I were out Saturday Morning. I shot a decent 8pt at 7:17 and Jay got a 4pt at 8:30. He went for walleye in the afternoon and landed 2 keepers. I am going for walleye tomorrow and every day I can after as we now have 4 in the freezer.
-

Nice job guys.
Today looked like a perfect day to hunt. So I snuck out of work a little early and hunted behind the house.
I wasn't there for a half hour and a nice 9 point came trotting in.

That is a big boy.

Got lucky Thanksgiving morning with this scrapper 9pt. he had three tines on the left either broken or chipped. one just enough to keep him from being tagged as a 10. He will join a 4pt. I got with the bow and a BB I finished off that someone shot in his leg sometime earlier on opening day.

Bad luck to shoot the white deer... Years ago we watched a pie bald deer grow into a beauty 8 pt. til the neighbor blasted him.
Nice squirrel...

Cool pic raquette, I've only seen one white deer in my life, it was a doe in scottsville last year during Thanksgiving dinner then a few times after that but she seemed to have disappeared. I seen a pie bald fawn standing by the Thruway exit on 390 south years ago, that was wild looking. Im hoping to see some whitetail (deer) up close and personal soon, my freezer is empty, I'm doing my uncles roof for him this weekend but I'm gonna have to squeeze some treestand time in somewhere...no more side work after this weekend till I kill something!!
-
Very cool Dom!

Isn't it a genetic mutation that doesn't allow them to camouflage into their surroundings? May be bad luck but I thought shooting them was good for the genetics.
-
If there is snow they blend in just fine. Saw that pie bald deer when he was just a 4 pt. It was blowing snow sideways, had to do the double take, he was very tough to pick out at 40 yards.
Old superstition, lore on the bad luck. I don't allow bananas on my boat either. :nono: :w00t:

Yes It is a genetic mutation that creates the discoloring

Hopefully one of you fellas can help me out. I got a Remington model 700 muzzleloader that won't go off on the first shot. You have to lift the bolt and then it'll go off. I cleaned everything let the parts dry wiped them off and it still does it. I pulled the bolt apart cleaned the spring and same thing. Other than changing the nipple that no has in stock I don't know what else could cause this
-
Years ago I had permission to hut a very large farm and the only no no was don’t shoot the white buck he was a beautiful 8 point , and some ass hat shot it and that ended the hunting for everyone , 🤬
When I worked on the prison in Romulus Ny I saw many white deer but very few true Albinos though

You want to contact Remington. Friend of mine has one. He had to send his back, due to same problem. Not sure what the issue was, but, they corrected it! Good luck!

Good advise from KP... Spring fatigue and or hang-up.
Plus those guns, depending on age, were noted for issues with the safety. If sent back to their authorized repair shop, this will also be corrected at that time. Very important!!!

Nice day man, that photo takes me back to my days of upland bird hunting. Pheasant, grouse, woodcock and a duck or 2 if you walked along a stream or pond. My Irish setter Casey flushed them all and fetched them too; but only fetched 1 woodcock! After that, he'd flush them up; but would never pick 1 up again. Weird, must be he didn't like the taste of them. Silly dog, he was the best bird dog I ever had the pleasure of owning. Bought him as a pup for $25 from a friend who's dad raised and hunted them. The good ole days. :thumbup_smilie:

I do not think I could ever go without a dog. More specifically, I love German Shorthaired Pointers. I own 3 now, and already put 2 down. Intelligent, hard working, always willing to please, amazing in the field and even better as family dogs..... though they think they are lap dogs. Memories that cannot be justified with words.

So when I went to go sit in the stand behind my house the other night and this scrub buck hopped up I didn't even hesitate, I shot him on the spot, turned around and went back in the house LoL!! He made it about 10 yrds and crashed and didn't go no further. His eye was gored and there was big gore mark across his eye and his antler was broke off, it looked very recent, the cut and eye wound was real fresh and still bleeding. Wish I could see the one that put a whoopin on him but I'll take what I can get at this point!!
-
Nice job DD!!
-
Good job on the venison dirty! Looks like he might have been clipped by a car.

Good job on the venison dirty! Looks like he might have been clipped by a car.
I kind of thought that might have happen at first too but there were no other injuries to the body and all the meat was fine, no bruising whatsoever, I thinks he got into a scuffle, the damage was all done to his eye and the top of his head

Great job Deeds!

Nice day man, that photo takes me back to my days of upland bird hunting. Pheasant, grouse, woodcock and a duck or 2 if you walked along a stream or pond. My Irish setter Casey flushed them all and fetched them too; but only fetched 1 woodcock! After that, he'd flush them up; but would never pick 1 up again. Weird, must be he didn't like the taste of them. Silly dog, he was the best bird dog I ever had the pleasure of owning. Bought him as a pup for $25 from a friend who's dad raised and hunted them. The good ole days. :thumbup_smilie:
yep. must dogs won't pickup a woodcock. must be the worms make them stink. don't blame the dog 😉
-
.....don't blame the dog 😉
Nope, I never did blame him. He was the best! ;D

I took time off from fishing to go out and use the crossbow ... after setting as long as I can ...about 10 minutes I heard something coming ,turns out to be a really decent doe .... about 15 yards....crossbows really hit hard and I did not have to follow her very far ...impressed with my expert hunting abilities I gut her and got out the rope.....OMG either deer became heavier or I got older :( .....I dragged a few feet and rested ,r=thank God for making me lazy and I was only 75 yards off the roadway .....ok we are now at the truck ......wait this deer has to go into the back of mt truck which means I have to lift her ...I tried about 100 ways to get her in there with no luck till a man decided to help me.....I had to call Freddie to tell him about yesterdays fish and my new founded luck ..... which he said why didn't ya just call me I woulda came and helped you ....duh so I have decided as a true sportsman no more big deer they are big targets and anyone can hit them ,i'm shooting hard to hit small deer
thank you to the gentleman that saved me from a heart attack or a back operation

With all the blood dripping out of the truck...……….I thought you hit the dear with the truck...…………………………………...in reverse.

-
told you the cross bow it's hard ....it was in the back seat lol
-
Congrats Trap!! You got a workout and a freezer full of fresh venison all in one shot. That’s a great day!!!!
-
thank you ! I got some perch yesterday that was good too...........surf and turf fishfinder style ;D
-
Well done Trapp , ,
-
Nice job Trapper!
I picked up a deer sled. It works pretty good. Way easier than dragging them the old fashioned way.
-
Way to go Trapper, nice deer.
I keep a plastic sled around (aka icefishing sled) just in case I get lucky. I'd load the deer in the back of my truck by pulling the head and neck up to the back of the truck or in your case up to the tailgate. Tie it off so the head is up over the edge, then pick up the back legs and roll the deer by any means possible into the vehicle. I know it's no easy feat, especially with back problems. I sure know about them.
Did you gut the deer on your tailgate? All the coyotes within miles will be trailing you home. If the deer is hanging up outside, keep your eye on it...they like to eat the tail end...
-
Good job trapper, I love the blood that's a great pic!!
-
you da man trap..........havin a tough season........first time a few years not putting some meat on ice before now.........still a few days left though
-
I have a deer cart I just didn't take it with me .... thank you guys...I had fun
-
Nice job Trap! Congrats brother
-
Nice deer trapper.
I had the opportunity to go to Kansas last week. Was able to get it done the first day. The pic does not do him justice. The beams are 23 inches and he has a 16.5 inside spread.

Congrats to your daughter fishinmachine!! That’s awesome! And congrats Bruce!! Me and my 3 buddies didn’t shoot anything this morning. I did see a doe and fawn whizz by at 65 yards coming from the neighboring property where they were doing a drive. Then I saw the biggest buck I’ve ever seen while hunting dogging 2 does but couldn’t get a shot. At least there’s still time to get after him if he stays around the farm I hunt. 🤞🏻

Good job everyone, I hunted state lands yesterday, never seen so many guys out in my life. I know it's public land but I went in at dark and when it got light out I had a guy to the left and right of me so I got up to leave and started walking towards the road and there was guy behind me too!! We went to lunch and a new spot, still state lands and I connected with a 6pt and I seen 3 other doe but couldn't shoot.
My
other buddy got a slob 9 pt just before dark on private land.

Heart Shot! Good deal, you guys got the deed done alright! Nice opening day bucks.

My youngest son, Chris, got a nice doe yesterday.
I gave him crappola because it didn't have horns, but he said that horns don't even make decent soup.
Anyway, Donna and I bought him a 7 cu ft chest freezer yesterday for xmas this year.
So the timing was good.
-
Your son Chris is 200 percent correct!
You can chew on horns all ya want , never any good !

Nice work on the deer guys!! Yumm yumm

Got out this afternoon for evening watch. Bump 4 does on my way in then didn’t see anything for the next few hours. Then a buck I’ve been trying to cross paths with came through at 4:15. Ended up with a heart shot at 65 yards. He jumped and ran off and crashed 50 yards from where I shot him. Not a drop of blood at the spot where I shot him or on the track to where he lay! What an awesome hunt and my biggest buck to date. Also had 4 buddies to help me get him out. Had to get him up a good sized ridge to get him out. Can’t thank them enough for there help!

I didn't see many hunters but I seen some nice deer taken for sure ..... I do notice the difference in how many deer I see because theres not as many people pushing them as there use to be .....and I as a older shooter really am glad I got to hunt with my cross bow I had a lot of shoulder issues and the doctor said noooooooooooo bow hunting this year but the cross bow kept this ole boy in the game ..... good luck and a great job folks love the pictures

Any deer can be a trophy its in the eyes of the one that shot it. Today my brother 64 years old shot his second deer of his life. Never has time to hunt always working and family obligations. Just have fun enjoy the woods and family.
-
I had the honor of taking my grandfather out on his last hunt. He had a bad heart and they put a pig artery in there to fix it and told him he would feel 15 yrs younger so he started walking and staying active and I started begging him and my uncle to hunt with me. He finally agreed and I set my uncle up to the left and my grandpa up to the right of me. About an hour or so after daylight I seen a small doe cone out and it was going straight towards my uncle so I didn't shoot, a few minutes later I heard him shoot a d roll it down the hill, 1st deer for him in yrs so I go over and I'm helping him get it when we hear grandpa shoot, then shoot again, and again and then I start running over and he shoots two more times lol. I get over to where he is and he's fumbling with bullets trying not to fall coming down the hill i ask him you hit one? He says yeah its down in that brush over there, I get over to it and it picks itself up on it's front legs then let out a demon sounding grunt and had lunged at me. I step back and asked Gramps if I should shoot it he said he wanted to so he came over and without thinking shot it through the neck. This thing now has 6 holes and it's not dead yet....so my uncle tells him to shoot it in the heart(I try and do this on the 1st time now) he does and it finally expired. He shot this poor 4pt under the butthole, above the front hoove, above the back hoove, once in the hind qtr, once in the neck once in the back spine and once in the heart, yes folks 7 times, he was not very proud of his marksmanship lol! But it was the only deer we ever got to shoot together and he got it mounted. Just a 4 pt. It was a great trophy to him and I love telling the story to whoever will listen. Trophy's are truly in the eye of the beholder.

After hauling deer out of the woods for friends this season, I finally got to carry my own. A balmy -2 degree Thanksgiving morning with a beautiful frosty sunrise,
(https://i.postimg.cc/T5dtnjXb/1122180752.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/T5dtnjXb)
I got this doe and a nice 3pt. My buddy dragged him out with his atv.

(https://i.postimg.cc/gXRCgH5B/1122181021.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/gXRCgH5B)
It doesn't look it in the trailer picture, but the doe outweighed the buck by a good 30-35 pounds. A real horse.
The electric cart has been great for hunting. Nice and quiet.
I hauled out this buck and three other hunters in one trip through a 1/2 mile ride back to camp.

That's a great story dirtydeeds. Your story reminded me of my first deer...I shot it at least 5 times! I can't remember exactly how many times I shot that poor 7 pointer. But I got him and just like your gramps, I was very proud.
My father passed away long before I was of hunting age, I wish I'd had the kind of opportunity you've just had.
Well done and it's a hunt you guys can remember and talk and laugh about forever now.
-
Great story dirty deeds!!
Congrats doubles shooter! That electric buggy looks like the ticket!

My first deer was a 5 point and fittingly I put 5 holes in him! ;D

I'm happy to see everyone had a pretty good season. Strange weather this year around here. From -2 to almost 50 degrees in a few days. Time to get the .22 out to get even with some of those tree rats that harassed me while I was in the stands. But first, I've been ordered by SWMBO to clean the golf cart. I didn't think it was too bad.

This was my first season using the cart. It worked out great.

Cool looking cart.
I chased squirrels the other day. Forgot how much fun that was!

That’s awesome Bruce! They are a blast

Nice job Bruce... How do you cook them?
I like mine deboned and cooked in pasta sauce..... ;D

Nice 552. That was the first gun I ever won in a raffle. I've taken a lot of squirrels, rabbits, woodchucks, raccoons, etc. with it over the years. It was perfect for rat shooting in the good old days of open dumps. It holds d**n near a half box of .22 shorts.

Nice job Bruce... How do you cook them?
I like mine deboned and cooked in pasta sauce..... ;D
I let them simmer for about 45 minutes in some stock with veggies.
Then I picked them clean and ate it over rice.
The kids thought it was chicken. It is excellent meat.
-
Sounds good to me.... Told the wife and inlaws it was chicken for years..... 8) 8)
-
the young ones i fry up like chicken. the older tough ones boil and remove the meat, make pulled pork. use your favorite recipe used to get 100+ a year all with .22

Reeleyz,
I was wondering if you would share which model of Moultrie camera you are using?
If anyone else has any suggestions I would be interested in your thoughts as well. I don't have my own land, so they would need to be middle of the road in cost in case they get stolen.
Thanks
-
if those are borderline i want to hunt on your border!

3in antler on one side is my borderline!!! I have zero recipes for horns!!!

Some good ones there. Haha definitely not border line. I like to run the wild game cams can pick them up for 50 and up. My brother runs the 28 Walmart cams and has had good luck with them.
The bucks have all dropped off the radar here

That is an s50i. It works well. I have a m20i and that one works fine too.
I really like Browning cams the best though. They take great pics and videos. They are great on batteries too.

Nice pics! I also use moultrie cameras

Didn't get my first choice doe tag, which is expected with 0 preference points and only 2,400 issued for the entire WMU. Did get my second choice, so we'll sit back and see what happens.

Heading down to the Catskills for a try at the early bear season. Never really had a desire to shoot one, but was invited down to a nice spot with some great people. Guess I'll just sit back and see what happens too.

Shooting one with your bow is absolutely the biggest rush you'll have!! I killed one a few years back with my bow.. never cared to kill one... but presented itself and what a memory!!!

It's called hunting not killing. As it's called fishing not catching. Always next time I have 3 weeks off last 2 weeks of bow/crossbow and 1 week of fun so I have no fear I'll put some deer on the ground

Thanks , I think I know the difference 😜 good luck anyway 👍

Looks like I've got a new deer processor in the family. My 6 year old grandson wanted to help Papa cut up a deer a friend gave me. He has always loved knives and has a bunch of his own. He worked at it like he's been doing it for years. All business and safe. He's bummed because there was only one to do.

That is awesome doubles shooter! I’m sure he can find a few more to cut up if the word gets out lol. Kid will have his own butcher shop one day I’m sure

Yes but I think he was slowly coming in then kids in trailer park spooked him playing in the swamp. He was on a hot trot.from the second I saw him til he was gone

Good for her. Great start to her hunting career.

A question, for you successful hunters. I've seen three different doe taken in the area in the last week. What strikes my as unusual is the length of hair and amount of fat on the deer. In my 51 seasons, I've never seen hair on deer as short as it was on them. Most hair is about a half inch with maybe an inch and a half on chest and belly. The one I cut up yesterday didn't have 5 pounds of fat. All three were 1 1/2 years old. They live surrounded by soybeans, corn, and good grazing. would have been in trouble if we have a hard winter. I'm thinking we are going to have a fairly open winter. Last year there was much more hair and fat and a long winter.
Many years ago my farmer uncle told me he could tell how hard a winter we were going to have by the amount of hair on their udders. Some years he had to shave them and winter spanked us. Other years, open. I hope this holds true. Time will tell. What have you noticed?
-
The doe I shot the other day did not have much fat on her. However the deer around here don’t normally have much fat on them. There is no ag around here.
-
A great buck for the young lady. Congrats....h2l

Many years ago my farmer uncle told me he could tell how hard a winter we were going to have by the amount of hair on their udders. Some years he had to shave them and winter spanked us. Other years, open. I hope this holds true. Time will tell. What have you noticed?
Older doe I killed last week in Tully loaded with fat but just getting into winter coat still. Both internal cavity fat and a thick saddle of fat. I'm still hearing cicada in the trees so it's not too cold yet but hair will thicken as the month goes on.

A great buck for the young lady. Congrats....h2l

Good eating there. Congrats. I'm going crazy waiting for crossbow season. 9 more days. Had to go to the dark side due to arthritis and shoulder injuries over the years.
-
Way to go. :thumbup_smilie: :thumbup_smilie: :thumbup_smilie:

Thanks guys.
Good luck Bobby and DS.
Things should start heating up soon!

Well done Bruce

Heres one for you. An old respectable hunter showed me a real camera picture of this deer drinking out of a stream along a road by piseco lake.. Told him hes full of it. He said after 30 something years and now you don't believe me.....

The ever elusive uni-buck!!! Very Rare!!
-
Good luck to all you crossbow hunters here. Having coffee getting ready to get in my truck in about 15 minutes for my first crossbow hunt. Vertical bow hunting has been out for several years due to shoulder injuries and arthritis, but I've been missing the quiet woods of bow season so I joined the dark side. This is my 51st deer season. It would be great to have a close encounter with the 170" class bruiser we've been seeing. Again good luck and be safe. DS.
-
Good luck DS. Heading out back with compound bow here in a couple minutes.

Well, I was in my stand this morning ranging some landmarks when I caught movement to my right. Moving in at a fast walk was a very big bodied wide racked 5pt. He stopped right in front of my stand 11 yards out for a perfect shot. The only problem is the fact my crossbow is hanging in the tree. I put it there while I had the range finder out. He's looking up at me off and on. Almost had the bow off the hook as he looked away. A strap on my pack dropped and hit the stand. The old boy launched and cleared a few rows of corn. Oh well.
I'm guessing he's an old deer on his way down. Big and round. Maybe tonight.

Too bad about the deer. They do find them quick...h2l
-
They sure are quick to find a carcass. I think it would be fun to contact the local Sheriff for a road kill. Put it out in front blind and wait at night with a semi auto 12ga. loaded with #4 buckshot and show them the error of their ways.

Too bad a out the deer. Nice one though!!

Nice job. How far did he go after you hit him. He's a dandy
Thanks guys.
He went about 40 yards. I hit a little far back but clipped both lungs and the liver. He bounded one time and walked off flicking his tail. Then he was out of site in some brush. I was not super confident on the shot and his reaction. I waited an hour to check the arrow. I could see him laying from there and he had gone down just out of site.
-
Nice buck Bruce. Looks like yesterday was a good day for a few of us. Had a doe blow twice couple hundred yards to my left. Knowing it didnt catch my scent trail or stream i kept an eye out. 5-10 mins later this dude comes strolling in.

Nice bucks guys!!! I got to get out in the woods, this work crap is overrated........ well done, couple bruisers there
-
Well, I finally broke the ice with the crossbow this morning. I took a small doe. A really small doe. I told myself I was taking the first deer that gave me a good shot. Small or not, it's going to taste better than tag soup. At least it didn't have spots. Still have 6 tags to fill this season. 8 with a couple transfer tags. I have a recipe for white hot dogs that calls for veal. I think this will do just fine.
-
I'm with you double shooter I hunt for meat ! A big buck would be nice but not passing up freezer meat , we have alot of tags also ,so....
Shoot em up!!!!!
-
bruce baul you both shot some nice deer congrates !
being older I hate shooting bucks the antlers get tangled in brush when you try dragging them and they are to heavey to hang , old guys like me like to shoot little deer that weigh less!! besides a small target is harder to hit meaning it's a lot more sporting :rotflol:
great job guys ^5
just like salmon fishing I see big guy had to find a dead one to bring home !!! :rotflol:

Yeah i have one with just water in it out in the shed. Wooks good. Water is freezing now and i would be nervous to leave exposed antifreeze out.
Back when i use to raise pheasants i made two out of full size metal garbage cans and no water needed... Use to take them out in the field.and dump it and do a little target practice with the 410...

So when it freezes the little buggers can ice skate themselves to death.
:rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol:
If you want to use antifreeze, use the pink stuff they use on boats and RV's.
It's eco friendly.
But it won't poison them, only drown them.

Yes use the pink stuff and just think antifreeze if it's a seasonal camp as most people shut water and heat off for the winter

Congratulations Greensider, beautiful bobcat. I think you saved a few fawns lives!
-
Sweet GS. Thats a big one..
-
That a good one GS! Congrats
-
That's a huge Bobcat!!!!! Holy Smokes!!
-
i took a bobcat trapping a few years back ,awesome animal ..... yours is huge
-
GS awesome animal
-
Beautiful Animal! Going to the taxidermist?
-
Yes it’s a once in a lifetime animal if I don’t get it mounted I would regret it
-
Just saw my first NY bobcat from the tree last Friday. No hunting them here in my area.
-
You must be in western ny i saw one last Sunday in Tioga County no season there
-
You can hunt and trap Bobcat in Tioga county.......different seasons and the carcass must be tagged. Check the regs...gona try and call some soon....
I have not got one yet....had Cats come to sets after the season......left prints on sifted dirt after traps were gone! Frustrating but super fun!!
-
Must have just changed it recently I will check regs out there again but I would not have taken the one i saw it was young
-
Just checked again i have property in 7r still no open season there
-
That's one great looking cat GS congratulations. I grew up hunting and trapping in the Catskills and saw a handful of bobcats over the years there were always tracks but they're very elusive critters. That's one of the biggest ones I've seen. I never got one, missed one with my bow once. I wouldn't shoot one now getting soft in my old age. Hope you got a good taxidermist that will make a beautiful mount. Absolutely a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Heading to deer camp in the morning , so want to wish all a great

Nice deer everyone! I didn't see a thing.... Oh well, that's huntin!

put a lot of time in the woods this year and seen a lot of deer ....might even have a little venison ,but I noticed a few changes................number one I hunt new York and PA and I noticed a decline in other hunters in the woods, big time ! I sure notice a lot more cross bows in use ....I hope ny soon follows suit with other states and open all of bow season up to crossbows ..........you guys that are cursing me for my opinion will change as you get older and that draw weight starts coming down .i noticed a lot of personal changes . I hunted hard but not as hard as a few years ago and I sure turned down deer this year ,in my mind size didn't mattered as much and the idea of not making a clean shot sure did ....am I more ethical? no just more practical, I see all my family members that still hunting getting up in age and slowing down and a lot have gone to the other side ,hunting has become more a time to be together sharing and making memories..... before I killed myself to be in the woods every minute I could and to get every deer I could to work for that huge buck ..... somehow that mission has changed .....we laughed more ...told more stories and ate the walleyes we caught this year and enjoyed each other ..... no huge bulwinkle for trap but I got a 90 pound doe that fits nicely in my freezer .....funny .....I think it's been the best season I ever had...........wish more young folks would take up hunting .....and I hope you all have a great season I sure am enjoying it

It is sad. Opening morning here I heard 7 shots the first three hours. Two of them were mine. This is my 51st deer season. When I started hunting, you heard more shots before sunrise than you hear all season now. Every plot of woods was surrounded by hunters. It was nothing to hear a couple hundred shots opening day. Saturdays and holidays were just as busy. Sad. My grandson is 6 and wants to go hunting with Papa. Hopefully God will give me the health to be able to hunt together someday.

Nice, trapper
My Dad felt the same way.
He has been gone 13 years, he loved deer hunting.
I think of him all the time when in the woods. The good times we had and the adventures we shared.

Yes, well said Trapper I think you echo the sentiment of most of us older hunters. Hunting is a lot like fishing in many ways. You start out trying to catch the most fish, then the biggest fish but in the end you realize the experience is the most important part. I do respectfully disagree with your view on crossbows. That may change in the future though, I've only turned my poundage down once so far! Everyone enjoy the season and be safe.

well with less and less hunters and the hunters we have are all getting older it keeps people hunting longer ...... my arms are about shot and I'm hunting with 50 pounds ...... any lower and it's not fair to the animal ....... there are points to both sides ....having hunted PA for a number of years I can say crossbows did not harm the opportunities of any bow hunter it just increased the possiablities for older and disabled people ....another thing if hunters don't start harvesting the deer the state wants taken how long will it be before sharp shooters are used in your woods ...like fayettville long island Westchester county and Ithaca ...... just things to consider while we have time. we have more deer then ever and less people .....

Glad you had a good season - things do change a bit as we age. I totally agree with the premise, and I can see the points made on both sides, and I also agree with what you are saying about the older and disabled people. The only "problem" I see where I hunt - and I only bow hunt - is that the public land I hunt on might normally have 1 or 2 cars/hunters each day - as soon as cross bow season opened up there were 10-20 cars/hunters in the same area. None of the hunters I saw were old or disabled - they were all between 25-40 years old (I'm 62) and looked to be in the peak of health. Again - not a bad thing. However they way they hunted with the cross bows are the same way the majority of gun hunters that I see hunt - doing a lot of walking at all times of the day - making drives - and that affects the way I, and regular bow hunters, hunt in that area. It probably doesn't help my point of view this year that I saw 2 bucks running around with bolts stuck in them - 1 8 pointer with 1 in the neck, one smaller buck stuck in the butt end. :-) IMO you have to shoot at a pretty long distance to not have a bolt go thru a deer's neck. Just my opinion and experiences - doesn't mean I'm correct :-)
-
good points BB...... like I said it's opinion . I'm basing mine on what I see in PA where crossbows are used all archery season .... it could be different in every area
-
So as i read the DEC regs ,which arealways sometime confusing, im not sure but even though i shot a buck with the gun can i still use a crossbow during the rest of gun season and put my muzzle loader tag on it. My muzzler loader is shot..
-
Muzzleloader tag is only good for early and late seasons not regular season
-
Very powerful trapper and guys. I had to comment because I very much share your views. I am presently getting a small taste of what it means to be disabled with two recent surgeries. I have not hunted this season, but I did sit in a stand with a camera. Just can’t lift a bow or crossbow. You know what, I really enjoyed just sitting there. It seems that hunting is not always about killing. Wish I stopped and took a deep breath and thought about that in my youth.
-
I think we go hunting or fishing most of the time without even admitting or realizing the real reason for doing it is to be outdoors in the woods or on the shore or in a boat. Success does add to the experience but is not always obtained or necessary. On the crossbow debate I agree 100% with your reasons on disability/age. I do still feel there should be separate seasons. I see ads for the new crossbows that claim they are capable of shooting 3 inch groups @100 yards. If true this is more in line of the capabilities of a muzzle loader than a recurve/compound bow. I think ads like that also encourage people to shoot at deer way past their actual effectiveness which has always given all bowhunters bad publicity. I have and will always respect all your opinions.

Crossbow should be allowed during regular bow season as it is in almost every other state that allows crossbows. And I dont care what they are claiming no crossbow is effectively shooting and killing a deer at 100 yards

Filled gun tag. Lot of guys are struggling to see deer. Been seeing bucks daily all chasing doe and watched one get bred.

Keep the pictures coming. Congratulations to all. I had a fabulous morning. Didn't see a deer. Enjoyed the quiet woods (Have two energetic grandkids this weekend). Watched squirrels, chipmunks, and had a hawk land 30 feet from me and checked me out for 5 minutes or so. Great start to the day.

Correct.

Congrats Paul!

I have noticed a drop off in the number of hunters this year too.
It seems like it is because of aging hunters. I am not sure the state can do much about that?
I had my 7 year old out this morning. We sat in a deer stand until he was almost frozen. Then we chased squirrels for a few hours and brought a couple home. We both had a great time (minus the frozen toes)
-
Sounds like fun Bruce
Nice buck Bauls

you know that's a good guestion and i'll tell you why .... wen hunting wit a bow or crossbow you can use either bow or archery tag .... it says your crossbow is legal during regular gun season ...I tend to think you can't use the special season tags during the regular season but I would call the regional office to make sure

You can hunt during the regular (gun) season with a bow/crossbow/muzzleloader but cannot use the special season (archery/muzzleloader) tags. You must use your regular season buck tag or DMP tag.

i noticed my new friend! a trip to urgent care and 2 doxycycline as a safety measure and i'm back out there . i have been useing permethrin spray on my suit and deet on my skin and still got one be careful where you take your suit off and check yourself every trip
elrodalonzo i'm sure your 100% correct but it never hurts to call something can change or could be missed in the book
-
is that a tic or a deer ked?
-
Getting an antibiotic because you were bit before actually being diagnosed is crazy and puts you in worse shape in the future that’s exactly what is not recommended by most doctors because of new strains of infections being immune to them and it takes up to a couple months for lyme to be detected

oh no dacker I resprayed my hunting suit with Permethrin, including socks and boots ....plus got coleman spray for my skin ....never seen so many ticks as lately
-
green I simply had a choice ...to listen to this guy ....
(https://i.postimg.cc/vD9s1T5T/aaaa.png) (https://postimages.org/)
or someone with a medical degree following the CDC recommendation.......I found it a easy choice ;D
-
A single dose of
doxycycline can lower the risk of Lyme disease when:
• The tick bite occurred in a state where Lyme
disease incidence is high (Figure 1) or in an area
where >20% of ticks are infected with Borrelia
burgdorferi. Contact your local health department
for information about tick infection rates in
your area.
• The attached tick can be identified as an adult or
nymphal blacklegged tick (Figure 2).
• The estimated time of attachment is ≥36 hours
based on the degree of tick engorgement with
blood or likely time of exposure to the tick
(Figure 3).
• Prophylaxis can be started within 72 hours of
tick removal.
• The patient has no contraindication to doxycycline.
from the CDC website the link is in a prior post ....I suggest no one take medical advice here call your doctor or go to a urgent care or ER LYME disease is nothing to fool around with ......my post was merely meant to show I took all the precautions and still was biten I take medical advice from my doctor and go to a urgent care ..... I suggest everyone do the same

on a lighter note
me and wife got out this afternoon together at property we own in pavilion
i seen nothing there yesterday but tonight i got a big spike and when i was walking over to make sure it was down i heard her fire and she got a small doe!
thats 5 weve got so far been a good season!!!
-
thats awesome :thumbup_smilie:

I have been busy with home repairs, boiler replacement, babysitting, etc, to get out much. I have managed to fill 3 tags so far. Like others here I hunt mainly for meat for my daughter's family and us. I grind 2-300 pounds of burger along with roasts, etc. 10-11 deer does us good. It has been a great season for a few of my friends and they have all the deer they need. Got a call yesterday and lo and behold, I now have 4 more donor deer from them. Looks like I will be doing more bologna, summer sausage, hot dogs, and other lunch meats to mix things up.
Best part is, My projects will be wrapped up by Thanksgiving. Boiler will be in Wednesday, firewood is in, everything winterized. Now I can get out and live in the woods for a few weeks. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

"I suggest no one take medical advice here call your doctor or go to a urgent care or ER LYME disease is nothing to fool around with " Good advice Trapper. I take medical advice on here the same way I take early ice conditions reports (I spud, spud, spud myself), and NYS hunting and fishing regulations advice (I call the DEC myself) :-). No offense to anyone here, I know the majority are trying to be helpful, but for some things people really need to go to the correct sources of information.

Good work Raquettedacker. Yesterday, with my young helper, we put up 56 pounds of burger, 10 pounds of backstrap, and 6 pounds of darn near venison veal (I took a real young doe with the crossbow) for a sausage recipe I want to try. 4 more hanging to process tomorrow.

dacker and double your really going to town! i made summer sausage and burger myself ;D
i wanted to first thank the calls of concern about my recent exposure to a hungry tick so he is the up date ...i am posting this only to help anyone that gets bite , my suggestion is to go to a doctor ER or urgent care as soon as possiable i did and i am glad i did!
(https://i.postimg.cc/MXGgn8s5/thumbnailbitev2.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/MXGgn8s5)
this was taken today ...day after i took the one dose of doxycycline i developed a rash around the bite and the deep red spot appeared ...the deep red spot at the bite spot i was told was from the ticks spit ...the rash was another story ....doctor placed me on a full antibotic regiment for 21 days ...one week after that i will be given my first blood test for lymes disease ..... i will keep anyone interested posted ..... and i am practicing what i preach and doing exactly what the doctor tells me ..... be sure you take the precautions and check for critters
-
Sounds scary Trapper. I have been bit 3 or 4 times in the past 6 months. Luckily I always catch it within 18 hours or so.
-
you be real careful buddy ..... I swear this tick wasn't in me 24 he wasn't gorged or anything but tat rash made me concerned ....I been hunting and fishing all my life and never seen ticks like they are now .....bring back DDT
-
Good luck Trapper - heal up fast - hope you got it in time.
-
thanks man ...really think I did the tick didn't have any blood in him yet ..... but I been hunting every day ;D
-
Good advice Trapper. My brother has Lyme disease and it isn't fun. Messed up his walking so bad he was out of work for months until they got it under control so he could return to work. His legs are still messed up as he can't walk all that far but at least he's back on his feet. I don't wish that disease on anyone.
-
That right trapp do what the doc says
-
Good luck Trapp, hope the antibiotics do the trick for you ;)
same deal for me, found the tick feeding on my shoulder, finishing up my 21 days of doxicycline in a couple days

wally I think the worse is waiting to be tested ......
another thing I wonder is how many people been bitten and never knew.....
well get threw it wally ..
hey things I misunderstood or were misinformed about ..... I tough lymes was a American only disease wrong it is covering Europe asia Australia .....world wide
fossil records(I have no idea how they know this ) shows the bacteria has been in ticks for millions of years
....... being outdoors men and women we are all into this one together .....good luck and prevention is the best cure
-
The ticks are horrendous in my area. I hunted Letchworth a few times and each time had at least 3 on me one time I found 7. I don't think I got bit they were all on my clothes in the treestand except on in my hair on the way home. My buddy said the buck he shot in York had like 20 on it they were just all over his deer. To bad we couldn't crop dust the little bastards its the one thing I hate about deer hunting. Good luck trap and everyone

My buddy shot a 9 pointer in Nunda and he killed like 20-30 ticks as it was hanging before he butchered

Yikes! Makes me kind of glad I don't hunt any more. How cold does it have to get before you stop seeing the ticks?

-
deer ticks are active anytime temps are above freezing ..... and it's not just hunters getting ticks ...yard work walking hiking fishing anywhere and any time you are near tall grass or shrubs.....and I have never seen the amount of ticks that's out there now....I would be checking my kids every time they went outside to play

You don't need to be a hunter to end up with a tick bite. I finish my 21 days of antibiotics today :clapping:

Got mine just kneeling down to clean the mower , and that SOB left a scar , like 1 more is going to hurt anything 😉

Man I must be super lucky - I do everything in tank tops, shorts and sandals from April thru October - even when I work my gardens, scout the woods/fields in the summer and hang my stands in September. I'm more in central NY around Waterville. My neighbor across the street says the same thing - he's covered with them when he turkey hunts in spring. I wonder if I have something in me that they don't like or something - I've never even seen one on me. Whatever it is I hope it continues. Good luck to all that have been bit.

I wonder if a person's diet can have an affect. There is a garlic mixture that you can feed dogs that is supposed to be a natural tick and flee repellent.
-
Thats what I was wondering too - not sure about garlic though - I don't eat much and my neighbor is 100% Italian - hahaha. Maybe my hostess cupcake "diet" is finally paying off ? :laugh:
-
tics are active even below zero if on a warm host say a deer can still jump to you
if deer are hanging skin on and body cools down they will go dormant till warms back up
i have skinned deer in warm weather and warm animal and seen them very active and have skinned a deer after it has hung in cold weather for few days and seen them bairly able to move

Pretty critter - nice colors. Looks like he would make a nice hat or gloves/mittens for ice fishing :D

Hat ?

Looks great. I wouldn't mind a few right now to sample while I'm sitting here with the muzzleloader in the rain.
-
It was worth sitting in the lousy weather yesterday. I dropped a big doe with the smoke pole. When the wife and I finished cutting up the last bunch of deer yesterday, I realized I didn't set any meat aside for the smoker projects. This one came at a good time. Hopefully, maybe another tonight or tomorrow.

Yikes, that is a bumper crop of ticks for sure. We usually find a few, mostly seen on the hind quarters but nothing like that! Makes you wonder where that buck has been sticking his nose. :o
-
That’s crazy Dom. They are nasty little suckers. I’ve found them on deer at the base of the ears as well.

Good luck to anyone getting out last two days ,time to get ready for ice season and cut firewood for next winter

I think you are on to something. Looking on my computer it looks like the stem holding the seeds is there too.

The answer to the question is none

I hope everyone had a good season. Time to move on to tree rats, coyotes, and hopefully some ice fishing. My wife and I meet the bus to get the grandkids daily. they live out in the country a bit with a fair number of deer. All gun season I brought a gun because they come onto their land once in a while. Haven't seen a sign of a deer all season so I left the muzzle loader home. Of course at 4:00 I look out the window and there are 6 deer coming in about 80 yards out. Easy shot from the barn. Oh well, they will be there next year.

Looks like NY hunters may be able to use the new super narrow crossbows in the future. Bills are in the works to remove width and max poundage restrictions. Also open all season to them.

I would like to see CB allowed for the entire bow season. It would give my mom a chance to hunt more.

I've been sniping squirrels off the feeder hoping to get the SOB that moved into my attic. I've acquired quite a few of the tough little buggers so last night I canned 6 pints of them. I've never done them before, but have eaten canned tree rat and enjoyed it. I just put a half teaspoon of minced garlic and maybe a teaspoon of thin sliced onion to the bottom then packed full of cut up bone in squirrel. I then added 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some black pepper and pressure canned. I had to try some when it was done. OMG was it good. Fall off the bone tender and full of flavor. My grandson finally gave it a try and gave me a big thumbs up. Grandma was disgusted at the idea of eating them. This morning, the little guy was having a cup of coffee with Papa and said he wanted squirrel for breakfast. Cool, the little monkey ate almost the whole jar. I love it. 6 years old and already hooked on fish and game.

Squirrel is definitely underrated! I did a few in an Instapot last week and it was awesome.

It could be something like that. Some type of HD like EHD.
I do think it is more common when it is abnormally dry too.

http:// Two common causes of hair loss in deer are demodicosis (a form of mange usually caused by Demodex mites) and dermatophilosis (caused by the bacterium Dermatophilus congolensis). Other bacteria and parasites, such as lice, chiggers, and ticks, may cause varying degrees of hair loss.

I have not got mine and neither of my buddies got theres yet.. >:(

At my age, I don't rush the seasons....h2l

I have not received mine yet.

I have always received mine on the 10th each year. So I guess I'll see today, but to be honest it never really bothers me because I don't need it till september.

I have a doctors note to use a draw lock on the bow this year. I bought one last month and had a friend that uses one set it up for me. I like using it and it is allowing me to bow hunt. If anyone else has shoulder or other arm issues, I would suggest getting one.

I hear the DEC is being more open to allowing crossbows for the whole archery season ……………….

That's great p1 I'm trying to get in for surgery before bow season on neck and back may not be able to hunt this year , it would stink !!

They should we are the only state that allows them to be used but see them as a firearm and archery equipment
-
Give me a call before you go in Ben. I wish you well.
I have tried pushing crossbow with a senator that has sponsored the bill. The DEC was in favor of it but it never gets to the governors desk. From what I hear, the Dec is not happy . Seems they have caught a lot of people using crossbows during archery anyway.
For people with a shoulder injury, crossbows might not be the answer anyway. I know I could not lift mine last year even though I tried. The draw lock attaches to any bow and is very light. The company even makes a small vertical bow with a draw lock. Looks like a vertical crossbow and as crazy as it sounds, is legal in NY.
-
believe it or not alot of the crossbow resistance comes from the bow hunting community itself! a lot of bow hunters don't under stand the fact the majority of hunters are getting older i for one can not comfortably shoot my bow at a high draw weight any more .... we are losing hunters at a alarming amount right now anything that keeps more people hunting and generates interest and money to support hunting is a good idea ..... a few years ago i was hammered on this site for hunting with a crossbow ......now i just go to PA .....every hunter should write text or call thier senator and the governor and tell them open up cross bow hunting

Got my tags last week. I’m a lifer as of last March.
Don’t know if I’ll use them. Haven’t hunted anything in a long time. But, I have the option.

Here is the list of states on crossBow Usage
http:// https://www.tenpointcrossbows.com/us-crossbow-regulations/

I think at the very least people with injuries (doctors note) and older people should be able to use crossbows throughout the entire archery season.
And you are correct Trapper. NY Bowhunters are the ones in opposition to crossbows

Go out there and get some meat. There is no shortage of deer. The DEC can’t come close to filling the quota.

All the plots are coming along nice. Turks ate enjoying themselves. Got a nice storm last night. Lot of does with single fawns.

The turkeys are doing great with this dry summer. I am seeing a lot of poults.

Red oaks seem to be dropping a few acorns. Not seeing any on the whites. Apple trees are so-so. After a huge year last year, seems some trees have a few on them this year. Few falling already. All wild.

anyone been to the big hunting sale at bass pro? hate to say it i been hunting with my oneida eagle over 30 years but i been checking out some of the new bows so light and compact i'm really thinking ;D ...but i hate change

The oak in my yard has no acorns. Last year it was a bumper crop, same up it the hills. I see more deer when they have to browse more and I have to climb less...h2l

I have to get the trail cams out hopefully this week but have seen 5 shooter bucks on one farm I hunt. The swamp I hunt the big buck I never got a shot at last year is still wandering around have seen him a few times plus 4 or 5 doe I would shoot. Haven't been to the other to properties but the guys I hunt with have been to one of them for turkey this spring and saw alot of deer. The other property that my buddies 87 year old dad and still hunting has seen alot of bucks. Should be a good year guys

I'll go to the town clerks office and buy licenses

I think the new system is having problems.
I was shocked at how small the DMU numbers were on the doe tags! Someone with bad vision or low light conditions is going to screw up!

I called the number listed on the DEC website and they were able to reset my online account and i went in and ordered my licenses. Seems the link between the old system and the company that is now managing the process is the issue.....took 15 min total.

Seems they don't have the budget or personnel in the current environment to handle the changes necessary. They’ve always come up short on budget. Somehow the money we pay evaporates well before it should be applied.

I’ve never researched it but I was once told a great deal of the money collected for hunting and fishing licenses is spent to maintain hiking trails.

The current governor has moved the monies from licenses and other outdoor sports to the general funds bucket, said at the time it will still be "earmarked" !!
I am sure it will not get used elsewhere....

That money was moved years ago , it now Helps funds all Kinds of things , non hunting and fishing

My neighbor got his license at Runnings in Canandaigua on Wednesday. I’d venture a guess that we’ll see a reduction in services and increase in fees in the near future. Nothing coming in and lots of money going out.

Did my last DL online, but, I had to get an eye test. The local Tops pharmacy was authorized to give the tests. Walked in and out in 5 minutes....$10 They sent the info to DMV and I renewed online within the hour.

It sounds like Trapper is getting an enhanced DL. I got mine last year and it was the same paperwork he mentioned.

Yes, that was exactly my experience at the Oswego DMV. A county Sheriff takes your temp with a scanner, another checks your appointment time, then you are in and out quickly. I like the new system much better than the old system which was unpredictable. You do hear some interesting stories from other customers!

my dad hated guns ,after the service he wanted nothing to do with one ,yet when I was 12 he took me to get my license and he got one two ,then he would sit with me while I hunted .....as a kid I didn't understand my dad suffered from PTSD and was wounded ....I never realized how much he was doing for me.....yup pops are a very special bunch with there boys .....

“we'll teach him the most importat rule of hunting "if it's brown it's down"
A lot of accidents have happened with that philosophy.
How about positively identify your target and what’s beyond!

the philosophy behind the saying is it doesn't matter if it's a buck or a doe a deer is a deer and all are worth harvesting ...it has nothing to do with not identify your target nor whats behind it ....... knowing little guy and knowing dan i am 100% convinced he'll be a safe and ethical hunter.....

DEC announces record sales for big game licenses.
I see this as good and bad.
The good, well for those of us that hunt on or near state land, this should help make the deer more active. In addition, it’s an uptick in the number of hunters, which has been slowly deteriorating over the years.
The bad, in my eyes, is you’re going to see more hunters that are less seasoned, which could lead to an increase in accidents. I also wonder how the new hunters and born again hunters will respect the outdoors. We will see more trash being left in our beautiful woods?
-
Having more hunters will have it's issues but I think it is a good thing if it helps to keep the sport alive.
Here is another DEC proposal.
https://www.dos.ny.gov/info/register/2020/090920.pdf (https://www.dos.ny.gov/info/register/2020/090920.pdf)
Looks like they want to add 7 more days of late MZ and bow for Christmas week in the Southern Zone. I like the idea of being able to get my kids in the woods when they are on vacation.
-
And the high volume of license purchases could have contributed to the issues with issuing tags.
And I hope they pass the extended muzzle season.

I found it strange that there was only a box to check for the back tag when I selected the address for shipping. I hope that I don’t encounter the issues people have been experiencing receiving their tags

You have to get it through the licensing process.... so either online or wherever you get your license.

We went out yesterday to put in a new stand and clear shooting lanes and safety check others. Got back to the trucks and I discovered my phone was missing. Crap! We had been to 9 different locations over maybe 8 miles of river bottom and woods. My golf cart batteries didn't have enough juice to do the entire route again.
My buddy gave me his phone and I took his wheeler to head to the last place I knew I had the phone. After a 3/4 mile ride, I go to make a call and his phone is locked. I go back, we laugh about it and both head out again. It took three stops, but finally we heard it ringing. Close call.

Glad to hear that it worked out for you.

Thanks Trap. You too. Will you be able to get out this season drowning dots? I hope so.

I'm hopeful I will be able to hunt soon. I have been having abdominal issues since last fall I had a gallbladder surgery botched horribly in a massive bile leak. That did a lot of damage inside me and they're still figuring out the insect extent of it. The latest is they found a Bile stone lodged in my common bile duct right next to my pancreatic duct there was pinching off my pancreatic duct and causing pancreatitis and cysts on the exterior of my pancreas. So for right now I have a drain in me and a 10 pound lift restriction. They got the stone out and they're hopeful it's going to resolve the issues I've been having on my way to the doctors now to see if they made any progress.

God bless and get well soon

I am on my way back from a Colorado public land archery elk hunt. Man was that a blast. Had some close calls with bulls. On day 6 I was able to watch a small herd head to bed in the morning. I snuck in close in the afternoon and waited. Sure eough around 5 PM 2 cows and 2 calfs step out into a meadow at about 45 yards. I had to sneak around a down tree and out into the field a bit to get a shot. The big cow finally saw me and barked. She went about 5 yards and turned broadside looking at me at 40 yds. I drew and set my 40 pin behind her shoulder and touched it off. WIFF!!!! Not a sound! She took off untouched.
I stood there dumb founded. :o :o
Then it dawned on me. The shot was so fast that I never checked my level!!!! I missed her by a mile.
Here is how steep the hill was. She was at the wood line. I could hear those loins sizzling in the pan already.

Honestly Fred the miss was just a tiny part of the trip. I gained so much priceless knowledge for the future.

Still looks and sounds fun to me.... :thumbup_smilie:

sure does dom

1st off thank you Bruce and wow what a trip that must have been I can only imagine what it's like to be that close to one of those magnificent animals.
I had a test today called a sino gram where they inject ink into my drain and they can see if the original mass of cysts has dissipated at all. Unfortunately it has not. I have to follow up appointments Monday and Tuesday would surgeons to go over possible strategies. Very frustrating to say the least this drain has been on that site for 5 weeks. It goes without saying that having a tube sticking out of you is uncomfortable at best. Thank you everyone for the positive thoughts keep them coming and maybe they can come up with a strategy that will help me.

They'll figure it out DD

Reeleyz, great trip, thanks for sharing.
DD, thoughts are with you....h2l

Reeleyz, great trip. I should have done that when I was younger.
I did get out for the first time in two years opening day. Within 30 minutes I had a button under me and he kept on looking behind him into the woods. But, as with most of my encounters with button bucks, he was alone. That was it. My two friends out with me had better encounters with nice bucks and does but no shots were taken. Hope to get at it again tonight.

wow great trip great pictures ^5

Bruce that’s awesome! Glad you had a great time out west. I sat for the first time this season yesterday afternoon. Saw 3 bucks in range. Was a fun first sit
-
Most drs amazing, I had 2 disc's taking out of neck and replaced plates and screws put in my 2 years of headaches gone I'm getting anxious to get out hunting and get back to work ...time heals once they figure out what's going on !

Sounds like a great sit.
I’ll be out this week. Those doe better watch out now that my elk tag is soup!

What part of CO did you hunt? I am hoping to get there in the next 2 years to give the public land a shot.
It’s by far the most beautiful state in my opinion.

Gunnison area.
Start prepping yourself now! Those hills are steep!
I am probably going back in 2 years myself after mule deer with the MZ.
Shoot me a message and I can give you some info.

Funny dam stuff this morning ,I still can't pull bow back so not even gonna try ,wife was sleeping in a bit this morning at 7:03 my labs jumped off bed going crazy,8 point 2 doe and 3 lil deer in lawn

I took my oldest on a hunt last night. I have been working with him using a saddle all summer. We had a great hunt last night and I got to shoot a doe with him there.
We had to back out because the shot was not great. I went back in this morning and found her about 100 yards from the shot.

That’s great stuff. He’ll never forget that and I’m sure he learned a lot. Great photos of the Colorado elk hunt as well. I did an Arizona hunt 5 years ago and it’s definitely an unforgettable experience. Congrats on your deer and good luck the rest of the season.

Good work, Bruce!! Keeping the little guys interested in the outdoors is EPIC!!! 😎

Reelyz Looks like a great trip. A clean miss is better than a bad hit!
Drowned Dots - good luck with your appointments, hoping for a speedy recovery for you.
-
Congrats Bruce! Some fresh meat in the freezer and memories to last a lifetime!!

Thanks guys.
I am hoping to take my youngest out tomorrow night for a quick hunt. That should be a hoot, he is 4.
-
congrats to both of you ....most excellent!!!!

Good job Bruce , holy smokes the young ones are getting big
The 8 year old is less than a foot shorter than me. He’ll be towering over me before too long!

He has an extra soup stirring stick.. 8)

send him my way HEE HEE
you better get him before
someone else does.
it would be bad if
coyote's and cars ,
night hunters that DONT care ?
just my opinion
-
I know how you feel DD I can't bow hunt this yr either still recovering from my back surgery but little guy will be out in my spot this yr..his first yr bow hunting .ill be able to hunt with crossbow..if you guys haven't heard go to Dec website comments and comment.there trying to open muzzle loader and crossbow from Dec 26th through Jan 1rst..so comment we can hunt longer with crossbow and muzzle loader..good luck and hope you all have a safe and successful season..GO COMMENT..i know it's for southern zone not sure about other zones
You best check on that. I heard crossbows would NOT be allowed
-
It’s game on tomorrow in the northern zone. Muzzleloader opens. I almost feel bad for the deer. :-\
Good luck to anyone getting out.
-
You best check on that. I heard crossbows would NOT be allowed
If they extend muzzleloader season you will be able to use a crossbow because as far as New York state is concerned a crossbow is a muzzle loader as you nee a muzzle loader tag to use it so they will be up schitz creek on that one. If it's not a muzzle loader then I should need an archery tag to use it not a muzzle loader tag

In the Sept. issue of NYON they mentioned that crossbows would not be allowed. But in the last issue I received they said it would be allowed.
So I stand corrected

Just got an email from the NYS Snowmobile association. They are not happy with the dec trying to extend the season past Christmas. Apparently, when you register the machine you also get a discount when you “join” a club. That’s how they found me. They had a form letter for us to sign and send to the dec. The good news is the dummies said their were “ many” more letters written by hunters in favor of the extension. I did what they said and sent an email to the dec. Too bad for them. It wasn’t exactly what they wanted ;D ;D ;D. Also replied to the snowmobile association. Basically told them they could eat snow.

Yeah I got the same email and I thought that might happen. I sent an email in support as well.
I really don't like to see a peeing match between these 2 groups though as I am part of both of them. I think the chances of rideable snow in most of the Southern Zone for the week of Christmas are low.
-
I don't see the problem with snowmobiles and hunters getting along. Every year there are less hunters and probably less snowmobilers due to declining interest and population.Are there a number of cases of hunters shooting snowmobilers?
-
It's not hunters shooting snowmobilers it's that many of the trails go over private land and if the private land owners want to hunt that week many won't allow the trails to open until after they are done using the land as they want. Can any of you trail riders say how many years you've had snow in the south that week lately? I know we get a good snow one in a while but seems to come and go in days.
-
Exactly. It seems we get an early snow and then it warms up and no good snowmobile snow until January. Rochester has not had a white Christmas in a long time.
-
It does not really have to do with the amount of snow. It has to do with the trail creation and maintenance. Many farmers do not hunt down by me. But many of them lease out their property to hunters. They are concerned about having both groups on property at same time and liability issues insurance wise if someone was to get hurt. With the sue happy world we are these days, landowners have a right to be nervous. They are concerned because the whole thing is being dropped on them without the usual process and time-line. Now its last minute conversations with all parties involved and everyone stands to lose out because they are busy enough and don't want to be bothered with a hassle.
I do both, so it is a win - win for me, unless landowners say screw it and tell their leases they are done at regular time of year. And then tell snowmobiles forget it. Then we all lose out on something.
-
Anyone have any luck opening weekend of rifle season in the northern zone? I sat morning watch Saturday and Sunday but no deer spotted. Only heard about half dozen shots within half mile or so each morning. Things should start heating up this week. Snow in the forecast for Friday 😁
-
I saw 4 does Saturday morning. It was pretty quiet around here.
Things should definitely get going very soon. I just looked at the temps. They keep lowering them. :thumbup_smilie:
-
Saw 5 bucks in an hour Sat. am
-
One down and only went about thirty yards w bow. So nice when you don’t have to track.

I arrowed this fox last night. I had a close call with an 8 point but not a good shot angle.

Slow night last night. I had one nice 8 in heavy brush at 35 yds but no shot. That was all I saw until this morning when I found 6 does in my backyard munching apples under my tree!

I definitely have to start trapping again,don't want to but coyotes are patrolling fence I put up for my labs,asked border people around me if they mind me doing there boarder I know they have to eat I have a huge pack here

Kid near us arrowed a doe late Wednesday and was unsure of shot so waited until first light. That’s what was left overnight. And my friend took over 50 yotes out last winter trapping. Can’t win the battle or the war.

I might do a mount. I am not quite sure yet.
-
That sucks Mcully. I had that happen 5 years ago. Sometimes your hands are tied. I let my doe this year sit overnight because I knew she needed time. I found her the next morning and she was not touched. I got very lucky.
-
Wow mcully, that was devoured. I usually find the tail end eaten out but not the entire deer like that one. That’s crazy.. I have a question concerning taking your deer out if the yotes started chewing on it. Would it be safe to process, or are there any disease concerns I should be aware of. So far, I have been lucky, but many other guys I know have had this decision to make.

It's too bad for the youngster. That's the trouble around here. Too d**n many coyotes. Sadly, if you don't find the deer soon, chances are that's what you will find.

Does anyone here use the HuntFishNY app? Mine still shows last year's info even though I have a new license. Can't seem to update it.

I took a small buck yesterday. Just had to put something in the freezer after a month of frustration. Back to perching!

Congrats on the deer. As a meat hunter, I wouldn't pass that fine eating. Can't wait for Saturday to break out the crossbow.
-
Thank you. I used my draw lock adapter on my bow for him. Turned my bow into a vertical cross bow. It’s a shame that in NY you can’t use a crossbow with the handicapped permit. Doesn’t make sense.

Nice p,1 , can't eat antlers! Good job!

Congrats to all you successful hunters. I'm getting excited about finally getting out Saturday for the first time. Been touch and go for this season. Been doing a complete floor to ceiling remodel of the bathroom and the house is a mess. But that went online a couple days ago so cleanup can start. Then two weeks ago, I got a blood clot in my left leg. That is good now. My knees are also on the way out too, but the golf cart has new mud tires and it's charged and ready to go. I really need some time in a quiet woods.
-
Thanks guys. He’ll eat!
Good luck DS. I am taking my mom this weekend for the beginning of crossbow.
This warm up won’t help much. It definitely is not going to help the walleye population! ;D
-
Nice buck reeleyz. Within ten minutes of me shooting mine, I had a similar buck broadside at 20 yds. You never know.
Good luck DS. Glad you can get out an enjoy.
-
On my way to a Dr. appt this morning, I got to watch an eagle family on a deer carcass for a bit. Too cool, they were only 50 yards from the road. Two adults and three juveniles. Tried to get a picture tire without much luck. Too skittish.

Still looking for meat, but I had a nice day to sit yesterday. Got a stand in a 100 yard square patch of woods bordered by harvested corn on one side, soybeans on the other with the Genesee river at my back. Lots of sign, but no shots yet.
Still fun to be out.

Anyone been hunting? Been a strange season for me. Yesterday things picked up where I hunt. Got to full draw on a monster at 28 yards but no shot. Also saw 4 other bucks. Every buck I saw was alone. I’m sure they were on the search for their next mistake...I mean girlfriend lol

same here Deady.........strange year.......finally put some meat in the freezer on Tuesday with a fat 6 point.......8 trips out and saw 3 deer total
-
It is been really quiet for me here at home Bobby. The deer I have gotten were in the SZ. Finally saw a couple small bucks this week with the rifle. One spike on Tuesday that was probably the smallest legal buck I have ever seen. Cameras are deader than dead here. Very strange year.
I have been trying to get my sister in law her first deer. First 2 sits we saw nothing. Finally last night we saw 2 doe but not quite close enough for her. She has my doe tag. I was surprised at how excited I got when those doe came in, you would have thought it was a 10 point.
I heard the past few days in the SZ were on fire in one spot that I hunt. They will be in trouble tomorrow!
Nice job Scout!
-
Nice Scout!! I guess I’m not the only one experiencing the lack of deer sightings then. I hear you Bruce. When I finally saw a doe in the northern zone I was all jacked up lol. I guess we will just chalk it up to the curse of 2020...I’m not giving up yet though! Good luck the rest of the season guys!

i been seeing deer.....

Just finished helping him get the Hyde off. Massive deer. Only an 8 point but well over 200lbs. It’ll cool overnight and we’ll cut it up tomorrow or the next day. Weather is perfect to wait a bit.
This is the neighbor I helped when he had dental surgery. First thing he did was cut out the tenderloins and give them to me. A good friend for sure. I haven’t been without venison since I met him.

I had one of those around me a couple weeks ago for over 2 1/2 hours .... I think a barred owl right ??
-
Yeah..

Cool bird had 1 hanging around last fall

THATS what hunting is all about,
not just going out harvest an animal
cool picture :-*
-
I’ll tel you what else hunting is about....friendship.
I helped my neighbor butcher his massive deer this afternoon. It was nice and cool and we got more meat off that buck than I’ve ever seen off any deer. The neck alone weighed 25 lb....maybe more. He gifted me with two of the 6 blackstrap chunks, 4” dia x 12” long ( biggest I’ve ever seen) , a few packages of steaks, the tenderloins and several packages out nicely trimmed stew meat.
We sat at my house and had a cocktail when we were done. A day well spent in friendship. Hope he gets a couple more.

RG ^5 thats quality time with good people sharing
dacker i know how to tell by sound but how do you idenify a barred owl from a screech owl
-
That is awesome RG.
Well we had a fun weekend, saw a lot of deer. Everyone in our crew saw bucks, a few were passed and a few narrowly escaped!
I did get a coyote.
It means more to me than the kill, that is for sure. It is a “family tradition” for us.

We sat at my house and had a cocktail when we were done. A day well spent in friendship. Hope he gets a couple more.

My wife and I got to watch a family of eagles Saturday morning. Two adults and two juveniles. You can see a huge nest in the woods now that the leaves are gone. The great birds are adapting to civilization well. There are regular sightings here.
My wife saw this on facebook. Very creative idea.

RG ^5 thats quality time with good people sharing
dacker i know how to tell by sound but how do you idenify a barred owl from a screech owl
He's right - the barred owl is a pretty good sized bird. The one I saw was obvious that it wasn't a great horned owl but it was pretty big.
-
owls, seen a lot over years have had them come in while calling for turkeys!
to see them , silent and scary at same time
go to You tube for live videos/calling
screech owl , to me sounds like a purr
barred owl is quite a simple as this "
CALL IS
"who cooks for you, who cooks for you all "

Screech owls are half the size of a barred owl , which max out at 20”s ,
Some Snowy owl juveniles hang out at the Syracuse airport ,during the winter , they are impressive
Lot of camera buffs get pics of them

i knewthe screech was smaller but unless they are together no compairson ...old man thank you

You are correct - didn't hear him come in and he was only 20 yds or so away - didn't hear him leave either. He flew to another branch a little closer, then next time I looked over he was gone. Every once in a while when he looked away I did a little mouse squeak and his head would whip around ....

My Middle son got out today....got a nice buck!

We did the deer yesterday. My helper wanted to skin the deer this year. He did a pretty good job. I pulled, he cut. I love working with him. He never shuts up, always asking questions about various things. We finally got things boned out and ready to grind. Made 54 pounds of burger.

Nice job. I can't remember the last time I shot a bird. Miss it.
-
Good work Sean! Been a few years since I last hunted those birds. Did a lot of it when I was younger.

Read over the deer management plan. Interesting possible changes. 1/2 hour before sunrise start and 1/2 hour after sunset end. "Holiday season" between Christmas and new years. Heres the one I don't get - September gun hunt for deer in southern zone in select DMU's. Nothing about crossbow. So, guns in September are being discussed but crossbows are not?
-
where can this plan be found to read is there a link?
-
just my opinion ... i think we are starting to over hunt a bit ......a sept season in the south then keep it open to jan ???? hell half the southern der weigh 50 pounds in sept and some still need mama ... i thought oct 1st state wide was really pushing it
-

It seems like they can’t get people to shoot enough deer to meet their quota. Adding on more seasons probably won’t make much if any difference in the deer take.
-
I think it would be more effective if the DEC could work with land owners to find a way to open more land to hunting than to have longer seasons. Hunting access is a big problem for many.
-

Good call Trapper and access to places to hunt would be nice for some folks.

It’s been an up and down first 2 weeks of SZ gun season for me.
Last Monday I hit this buck. It was 110 yard shot. I tracked it Monday afternoon and Tuesday as far as I could with very little blood and no beds. 3 days later the neighbor found the buck. He had gone 3/4 of a mile. I hit him very low just behind the front shoulder and must have done just enough damage to kill him eventually.
I was not able to salvage any meat. I notched my tag on him. I was very disappointed in myself.

That's a bummer with the buck. At least you know what happened to him and you have a nice rack. And some fine eating.

Sorry about the buck Reeleyz, it can happen. Kudos to you for punching your buck tag, many would not do that. And congratulations on the doe, I hope to find one soon.

That was a nice buck. You did the right thing. Congrats on the doe...h2l

Thanks guys.
Great buck CF. I’d rather be lucky than good!

Thats a shame on that buck reeleyz. It happens. Nice one CF.
Im still seeing a few fawns and thats it. All the deer I saw during bow are dead or nocturnal. Ill keep going though.

I earlier posted that I read the DEC 10 yr plan and that I did not see anything dealing with crossbows. I guess I just scanned it too fast because this is in the plan and I missed it. Looks like the DEC wants to take control of this issue and get it out of the hands of our legislators.

d**n Bruce. Feel for you brother. We have all been or will be there someday. Congrats on the doe! I’m still getting after it. Passed on a bunch of smaller bucks with the bow and almost killed a big one with the bow and had a good encounter with a decent northern zone buck with the muzzleloader but couldn’t get a shot. Pulled an all day sit Wednesday in the south and didn’t see one deer for 11 hours of hunting. I did get to hear and feel that sonic boom from that meteor though! I was hoping it would scare some deer my way lol.

Congrats Catfisher! That’s a great deer

Congrats to the young hunter. We had a similar thing happen to our gang 4 years ago. We had a 170"+ 10 point on our land. Three of us had close encounters during bow season, but not close enough. OK, we figured someone would get him gun season. Yep! He crossed the river looking for love and got shot near 5 miles away. Tough break, but more are growing every day.

I just want to say I think it's all his(my brothers) falt and a couple other of his neighbors for posting on social media websites.
The kid isn't even from around his area.
Knocked on an elderly woman's door and got permission.

And you are probably right, no need to advertise a monster running around

Couldn't agree more - social media is awful now. Same thing applies with fishing - in particular ice fishing on small lakes. Someone does well and tells the world, then is surprised when there are 10 times more people fishing there the next day and the place is fished out. Loose lips not only sink ships, they ruin hunting and fishing spots.
-
, agreed , lots of lurkers looking for a trophy or a hot bite, I watched Canadarago lake get hammered after the word got out , went from maybe 30 guys on a weekend up to 200 , killed it
-
Thats right Fred.
Everyone should avoid canadarago for the next 10 years or so. There's no fish left............. Go to Oneida... 8)

Even a bigger reason for a much bigger smile. He hit the lottery and looks like he wants to give the ticket back.
As long as it was legally taken more power to him. Sounds like any of the guys around could have or should have approached that elderly woman at some point and locked it up. It really hurts though seeing a deer you have history with laying on the ground in front of a guy.
Couple guys posted a big buck on fakebook few years back and a friend sent me the pic. Clearly sitting right in front of a group of posted signs where three properties I hunt come together and nobody knew who the heck these guys were. They weren't allowed to keep that buck long hope they liked the pic. You could read the posted signs in the background, Duh
-

They all tried... She owns a little over 3 acers and everyone around her owns 100 plus ...
She has never allowed anyone to hunt there.. And no one in her family hunts.. This was a friend of her grandsons....
-
well not only is the kid a better hunter but he has alot of charm .... out gunned by locals trying to get a deer for years ...with 100's and 100,s of acres a kid ask a old lady that hates her neighbors and he's hunting on 3 acres kills the monster ....this is the best hunting story of the year ..... :rotflol: ps trouble with oneida them darn ole locals won't tell no one how to catch them fish :laugh:
been a great hunting season going to be a great ice season

Was actually the first bird I ever shoot on my own land. Have always hunted elsewhere.
Just like fishing. I have a camp on a small lake 5 miles from my house and go fishing elsewhere.
Go figure

Believe that last years doe tags expired on August 31 just like the hunting licenses do. So you would need new tags for this special hunt.
-
it's a dumb idea and i'll tell you why...you can't see well leaves haven't fallen, ticks are at the highest level of the year and your going to educate every deer in the woods and totally screw bow season up....and you know how many 40 lb deer will be shot???? another great move by the state of new york without considering talking to the hunters ..... sorry this is stupid ....

I like the original southern bow date of 10/15 better than the 10/1 date too .... don't get me started on the ticks ... early in July I had the China virus and lyme disease at the same time, with a case of Bell's Palsy thrown in as a result of having both of those things. Fortunately none of the symptoms were severe and I'm back to normal now (well, as normal as I can be anyway - haha). The fatigue was awful though .....
-
September is way too early and way too warm to start shooting deer. I typically wait till the weekend around 10/15 to start bowhunting for that reason. If it helps entice young people to start hunting I guess its OK but I'm going to continue to wait till mid-Oct before I start. You have to be careful handling deer meat when its 70° or 80°.
-
I'm sweating just thinking about it ...... ugh
-
shoot a deer you won't hang it you'll put it in a cooler like fish some fawns will still be spotted and nursing .....i'm sorry this is bs
-
I went squirrel hunting this morning for about 10 minutes. Any one who wants to hunt deer in September, go ahead !! Feed all the bugs so they're happy when I get there in October ( even then they can be a pain on a warm one)
-
The mosquito's have been nasty by me the last week or so and thats not even going in the woods so I can just imagine......

Just shot the old girl( my ruger) haven't hunted in over a year cause had broken neck fixed last year and was hard to shoot gun or bow ...but ole girl is dead on and chasing squirrels in morning! Can't wait !!!
-
Nothing I liked better than hunting squirrels. Have my faithful Marlin 69A and my Savage 20ga. Side by side. I always liked late winter after deer this season was over. Give me a warm winter day and a 22 and I’m happy. Haven’t done it in years but, I was thinking that since I have a lifetime sportsman license I might just venture out this winter.
Squirrel stew and fly tying materials…..both really good.
-
nice rifle i have my remington target master single shot i got used at 12 years old paid for it by cleaning my dads barber shop and shinning shoes lol....the gun dealler a old man then ex fireman in fulton ,floyd stanton guns let me lay it away all summer as i paid it off i look back and what a great time to be a kid .....my biggest worry was getting more 22's and worms for fishing life was good
-
I also have a Stevens side by side 410 and a Savage 22/20guage over under all us boys grew up using starting with oldest brother who it just about 70 awesome guns many many enjoyable nights after school checking traps and hunting!
-
I had a Savage 22 mag 20 ga for a long time. Had it bored and choke tubes put in it. Loved that little single shot. Took a lot of chucks and small game with it.

I'm with you Trap........Does are still nursing and the gaddam bandits WILL shoot that nice buck if given the chance....just sayin
-
I disagree on a couple things ticks are not at highest levels of season that is spring and fall summer is a slower time for them I rarely get a tick on me in summer and i am in thick stuff all year also people will shoot fawns during any open season and have a legal right to do so if they have the tags the paid for i do not but do not question any legal deer someone else takes legally sorry jmo

Adult ticks, which are approximately the size of sesame seeds, are most active from March to mid-May and from mid-August to November. Both nymphs and adults can transmit Lyme disease. Ticks can be active any time the temperature is above freezing

no one is questoning a "legally taken deer" fact deer fawns nurse between 2 to 3 months early set. some fawns will still be nursing ......they shoot the de the fawn has no where t nurse ...and yes some bucks will be shoot many n accident because hunters won't be able to see horns....
the truth all of this is simply opinions ...the great state of New York made it's decision without even asking the general hunting public......that is really the scary part ,and everyone should be upset about
-
I think some fawns nurse well into archery season, even gun season because I have seen it. I have also seen mom kick her fawns away when they tried to nurse, probably telling them to find their own dinner. I hunt 3 different units, only one is allowing the early hunt, "the farm" in 8F. It's overrun with deer. The DEC gives out more permits for this area than the public wants. The "problem", from the DEC point of view, is that their management objectives are not being met with DMP, DMAP permits. Part of this is due to the fact that most of this land is private with a lot of agriculture. By the way Trap, the DEC did seek public input, there was the usual public comment period that was pretty widely publicized. I received several emails from DEC asking my input, which I gave. The comment period closed sometime in early August, I believe. I don't know if DEC made the results of the survey public. I doubt I will hunt the early period, there is work and I don't much like the heat and skeeters. We always try to put 2 or 3 adult deer in the freezer and don't care much about antlers. By the way, I wonder if some does are taken early if that will make the rut more active as bucks may have to look harder for a date.
-
Um theres more state land in 8f than you can shake a stick at..
-
Probably so, I'm only familiar with my area of 8F near Lake O. It is incredible deer habitat, they have everything they need. There is plenty of food, apple orchards and row crops. Ample forested areas and swampy thick briar patches that make ideal escape cover. I used to travel south of Rochester, Naples area to hunt with family. I gave up hunting during gun season on state land because it was unpleasant with the deer drives going on. I know the sound of deer slugs whistling over my head. I still archery hunt with my family there. But the truth of the matter is there are more and bigger deer on our farm than where my family hunts. I think those of us who live in NY are blessed with the opportunities we have for hunting and fishing. The deer hunting is better now than it was when I was a kid, that is for sure.
-
They do not listen to us about anything why would they listen when they already decided before announcing it lol

I hope you have a good time in the squirrel woods and you injuries don't keep you from doing what you enjoy. I myself have gone through a recovery period lately and it was really tough for a while. I pushed myself to the limit and got it done. Have patience. I'm still on the mend and it does get a little better as time goes on.uote]
-
I have the same rifle , nice squirrel gun and Feral cat problem solver
-
I hunted chucks for many years on my good friend’s farm in Wyoming County. The instructions were to dispatch any cat without a collar. They had a pretty bad rabies problem and I was willing to oblige.
My25-06 could reach out and touch them. The farmers would get together and visit all the farms on feral cat hunts to help slow the spread. The kids would chase the cats out of the barns and the guys would tend to the fleeing felines.
-
you kitty killer ........hey cat fur mght be good dubbing material too hmmmmmmmm

It may have been tried :whistling: :whistling:

Got out for a goose hunt over the weekend....all the birds that were using this farm showed up at the same time. We got a few but it was over fast!!

Nice Sean.. I haven’t had goose wrapped in bacon in the smoker in years…
-
Nice job on the birds.
-
Good luck to all the hunters heading afield... I'll be heading down to the Catskills for Saturdays bear opener. I really have no desire to kill one but sure hope someone in our group does. Guess it's more of a social event for me, will be nice to get out and sit in the woods and maybe read a book or take some pictures maybe even a nap. But to be involved in someone else's success will be hoot !!

Pull the trigger if you see one they are better than deer to eat

Goose jerky 👍

bear sucks :sick:
i just went threw the DEC auto system and online to get my new hip number neither worked so i called and a gentleman set me right up............ no duck will be safe

Pull the trigger if you see one they are better than deer to eat
My buds daughter shot one a couple of years back and it was delicious. They took it to a butcher only because it was hot out, and he showed them how to look for trichinosis. With that in mind they didn't overcook it. I did decide to shoot if I had a slam dunk opportunity. The neighboring property shot one the first hour and the woods went very quiet after that. Saw 10 deer Sunday morning all does and fawns, had one doe walk past the primitive box blind at 10 yards feeding on black cherries. Great to get out for sure.
-
Glad you were able to enjoy the day Dave. You should be able to shoot a bear across the road from you.
Had one cross the neighbors property just down the road from me a couple of weeks ago.
-
leave poor yogi and bobo alone you meanies :nono:
:rotflol:
-
Yeah Ken they are in our area, a friend got a picture of one near Chenango Lake a couple of months ago. Personally I've never seen one in the woods while hunting.
-
take a picknic basket eat sardines and milky ways in your tree stand......or the most productive sit ontop of a dumpster....be careful their pretty smart.....
-
Looks like maybe some cooler weather for the NZ bow opener. Hopefully the forecast doesn't change.
-
got tree stands up shooting lanes cut yardage marked the old oneida is tuned and ready and the recurve is after we have some meat in the freezer .......seen a lot of deer but the bugs are hungry...hunting cloths are already sprayed with permethrin .......the hunting bug is biting hard this year......wack a few then shore line walleyes ;D
-
I did not get out last night in the NZ. A little too warm. Looks cooler for a while though. I plan on getting out Friday evening in the SZ.
-
the bugs are brutal.........................i have spray wrist bans and drier sheets and i'm still a mosquito buffet.................

Looks like we're going to get some decent hanging temps Reeleyz, game time! Good luck to all...
-
we have a old big refridge at camp we can quarter and put them in ....bow season you always get warm temp ....i over shot and tentenitis (i know spelling) but i have my arm band on and will be fine for friday.... i had put a new biscuit arrow rest on and re tuned bow ...were golden now
-
Hope your arm holds up - my shoulder has been tender since I started shooting - lately I've just been going out and shooting 1 or 2 arrows and calling it quits for a few hours and going out again..... so far so good as of last night. Can't wait till Friday morning - I better sleep tonight because it won't be happening Thursday night I'm afraid. :D :D
-
I will be in a stand Friday morning.
I live in the north and *could* have been in a stand all week, but only took Friday off. Feel like I'm wasting our special extra few days, but just couldn't bring myself to take a mid-week day off. Friday will have to do.
-
I really like hunting later in the season when its cooler, but the time goes by so fast if I don't get out there I'll regret it. Plus I'm retired so I don't have any excuses - not good ones anyway. LOL
-
I'm ready as ever for Friday , I just hope the skeeters let me hunt for a few hours. I was out today and they are BAD I have a Thermacell which I won in a raffle It's coming out of the box and we'll find out if it works or I'm back to Bluegills
-
have never seen mosquitos as bad as this year it really sucks
-
Thermocell works. I hung a stand down along a creek bottom the other evening. Woulda been ate up.
-
Thermocell works great for keeping skeeters away, but it also keeps deer away…they smell it just like you can.
-
permethrin not only repels ticks it does mosquitoes as well....follow the directions do not spray your skin
-
well i'm lookng forward to a good nights sleeping tonight ,how about you guys ? :rotflol:
been well over 50 opening days and i still feel like a kid on Christmas eve .......ain't it great ;D
-
I’ll be out with my 9 year old for the night watch. We are both pumped.

another mistake i found in the new york hunting regulations .....
You may hunt waterfowl with a firearm or bow, over water, within 500 feet of a dwelling or public structure as long as neither are within 500 feet (for a firearm) or 150 feet (for a bow) in the direction you are shooting. You may not hunt waterfowl with a crossbow.
who ever wrote this needs a new job or a new proof reader .....we all know you can't hunt waterfowl with a bow
-
Lol unless your Tim Wells
-
No crossbow because you can’t shoot flu flu arrows from it so it’s like shooting a rifle into the air completely unsafe
-
Went opening morning and then with the rain and a boo boo to my trigger finger, I've done nothing but pick, cook, and freeze mushrooms. I guess it could be worse. I'm looking at maybe doing a bullhead trip this week since the wind looks to be calm. there should be a couple nice nights coming. It's never a good as springtime, but hey, What the heck it's fishing
-
62 that is cool a lot of people don't even know bullheads have a decent fall bite ,we use to go after them years ago
-
Definitely another great shroom season I just picked some oysters along the road

Trap this is definately a good time to catch mister whiskers Any time the bugs aren't looking to eat you alive, fly down your throat , or build a nest in your ears is a good time The lake is much quieter this time of year also Will let you all know how I do Note: I'm still trying to figure out how to post a photo I'm just a little slow with tecnology and spelling
-
Start with clicking on add an image , lower left corner in blue , and just follow instructions, you’ll be fine

Deer or mosquitoes?

Sawyer Permethrin on my suit then repel tick defence on my skin so far no ticks and no mosquitos......

Deer were on their feet last evening Went to town for a pizza, there were deer in every other field. Was really surprized by the numbers. Good afternoon if you could stand the rain and bugs.
I'm off to try for bullheads tonite
-
seen 2 when i was getting out of truck don't know if that counts or not
Yeah probably - I saw 2 bedded down on a front lawn near where I hunt ..... I only mention those when I don't see any in the woods though - hahaha
-
Had a good time with the bullheads last night The bite was crazy Had a couple pannies mixed in with a nice puffball on the lawn this morning
Life is good Maybe gonna sit in a tree for a couple hrs later

Obviously he thinks he knows more about what is best for kids than the whole rest of the state. Based on zero experience actually taking a kid hunting, I am sure.

Super solid post trap!!!!!!!

That’s how I was taught Trap! I taught my son the same exact way. Why is it that an idiot politician has to sit at home, watching Maury Povich , get a stupid idea in his head that tries to prevent kids or anyone for that matter, from learning about the great outdoors????? My head hurts from all of the BS that is created in this country. 🤯🤯 rant over…. Maybe I can beat Trap to a thread lock! I’ve never got one locked before!!!!😂

Now Trapper and I don't see eye to eye but he's right on point here
-
growing up in the country we had 60 acres and surrounded by all our neighbors farms and woods me and my brother would go hunting at 12 and 14 brother carried a 22 and i had a side by side 410 hunting squirrels and rabbits only restrictions we had was the old man would give us our shells and said if you fire one you better bring something home haha didnt want us just target practicing we could do that at home all the guys in our area did it
-
I was rationed bullets as well when I was a kid. Mom would go to “town” for groceries and I’d work on her to stop at the Western Auto to buy me a couple boxes of 22 shorts.. From there I was pretty much on my own with a single shot Winchester 67.
It’s not political. It’s a change in generational philosophy. Everyone sites politics placing one side against the other. BS! Total BS!
No one in any office has a say in how I think and feel. I act as I believe is natural….and the way I was taught by my Mom and Dad. My kids( not kids any more) have the same independent philosophy.
Think for yourself.
-
Well said bob I am same way and my boys also.

KP it's not just the idiot politicians it's the idiots that vote for these people, times have changed when our fathers slide that gun over to us it was a father teaching his son, now days it's seen as child abuse or some other BS crime by a liberal society, if you don't believe that there are two very different sides ...not just opposing each other for political power but for our social structure and the very freedom we so love ,your living with your head buried in sand or your completely brain washed .... and for shells i had to use my money i earned delivering
papers helping at the farm or cleaning the barber shop to buy my shells ......another thing pop taught me ...independence ...............take your children hunting don't give the state a chance to raise your children.....

Anyone finding any dead deer because of EHD? I have seen quite a few pics from around cny of dead deer in or near the water because of it
-
i have heard storys and seen internet stories but i have not seen it personally
https://www.dec.ny.gov/press/123801.html (https://www.dec.ny.gov/press/123801.html)

I have not noticed anything. It looks like the first frost is no where in sight either...
-
No dead deer by me - actually not many live ones in the woods either - hahaha. Plenty of mosquito's still though !
-
been in a tree a few times in the am with just a few flat heads around yesterday I went for an afternoon sit I won't do that again until the weather cools The therma-cell didn't cut it the mosquitoes are horrible
-
I'm done hunting until summers over Went out again this morning 63* when I went up the tree got eaten alive for 2 hrs I'm going fishing when the rain stops
-

-

-

no deer nor bow hunters were harmed during the making of this story although i think i can get one to be a pet
a earlier question i found 2 dead deer one in the water the other next to water
-
Trapper I know you dont like me and will call me a liar but that's the EHD disease and that's why those deer where near water one in it and one near it. REPORT your findings to the DEC
-

Hey Trap, If you need venison, I’ll give you some. You don’t need to hunt the petting zoo!!!!😜 Young boy at the zoo…..”Mom, why is that man dressed in full camo with carrots in his hand??” Poor kid!!!😂😂😂😂😂 lol!!
-
perch with all the dead deer that got found in new haven i'm debateing hunting around home .....................................but the petting zoo there healthy :)
-
So far so good where I hunt but we need a hard frost to get the EHD hosts dead for the year.
-
I depend on EHD to slow the deer down ....
-
i was reading the count the DEC has on deer that died with this in our state ....it's sick............
-
The region has been hit particularly hard by an outbreak of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD), and it’s believed to have killed off more than 700 deer.
According to the New York Department of Environmental Conservation recently confirmed a large EHD outbreak across 7 counties, including Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Nassau, Oswego, Suffolk, and Ulste. The outbreak is considered to have potentially made its way into 9 additional counties as well, including Albany, Jefferson, Oneida, Orange, Putnam, Rensselaer, Rockland, Sullivan, and Westchester.
Unfortunately, these are some of the very best deer hunting counties in the state. While EHD does not present a danger to humans, the number of deer killed by the outbreak is considerable and could impact the number of deer that hunters see in the woods this fall.
The disease is not spread from deer to deer, but rather it is transmitted by biting midges, bugs so tiny they are seemingly invisible. Humans cannot be infected by midge bites, nor can they transmit the disease from deer.
Once a deer is infected by midge bites, they typically perish within 36 hours. EHD is most common in late summer and early fall when the midges are most abundant; however, this particular outbreak is considered to be notably brutal in terms of the number of deer impacted. The first good hard frost of the year typically kills off the midges and erases the threat for EHD outbreaks.
Infected deer will display symptoms that include fever, hemorrhage in muscles or organs, and swelling of the head, neck, tongue, and lips. The animals may appear lame or dehydrated, and EHD-infected deer often go to water sources and die nearby.
EHD usually occurs somewhat sporadically in the state, but this outbreak is particularly bad. The disease is more common in the southern U.S., and as a result, some regional deer herds have developed an immunity to the midges.
That is not the case in New York, however, and deer in the Empire State are believed to have no immunity to the disease. The outbreak is not considered to be a threat to the overall health of New York’s deer herd at large, but there may be noticeably fewer deer on the landscape in the counties impacted by the recent surge in EHD infections.
The disease was first documented in New York in 2007, and the state’s worst outbreak came just last year when over 1,500 deer died from EHD infections in Putnam and Orange counties alone.
The Department of Environmental Conservation is asking people who witness sick or dead deer to report them to their agency through a new online form devoted specifically to this issue.
For more information on monitoring EHD outbreaks, check out this video from the National Deer Association.
-
Thanks Dom. I have heard very little about what’s going on in our state regarding EHD. The only thing I’ve seen or read was an article in the New York Outdoor News. Other than that my info has just been from talking with other hunters.
-
Some people like to blow this up and say it’s devastating to the deer population. Will hurt small areas for a season but that’s it..
If you compare this to deer
vehicle accidents 10 times more deer die in the road….
If they would just cross where the road crew puts up crossing signs there would be way more deer…. ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D

I talked to an ECO last week. He said he had 1 confirmed case of EHD anywhere near here on CR 37.
I have not seen any issues here.
I agree with Dom, just a small bump in the road in most places.
-
Raq, thanks, a very good report....h2l
-
again i'll get a thread locked or my post will disappear ...happens when you have a different opinion and even show the facts ...... last year we lost app. 1500 deer to EHD this year by sept17th we were ate 700 in new counties ....we would have taken the hit accept for the fact i average frost (oswego county) is oct 7th and that kills the midgets....... this year it didn't happen so it's been spreading a extra 2 to 3 weeks......
is it a big deal ......is to me is to Cornell
-
also interesting note the disease first appeared in july this year much earlier then before and it's still active in many areas ....... we don't know what the final fatalities will be but it won't be good ...... DEC is assking any sick or dead deer be reported 315-444-0310
-
The state should order a size and bag limit and put it in affect immediately.
One deer per hunter. 8pt or bigger and only one per season..
Otherwise there won’t be ANY deer left in NY. :o :o ;)
::) ::) ::) ::) ::) 8) :D 8) 8)

this is serious it will make a impact on a lot of hunters and you can clearly see we are far above 700 deer and the numbers are much higher cornell is only reporting what was found

Trapp your much better at research and math than I am ..
But if you add up the total of deer and the amount that tested positive there’s less than 70 positive…
No wonder my season has been so bad so far. Next year is going to be terrible..
:-\
-
And no positive tests in my county .. ;)
-
Cornell is not testing every deer they find or are reported the two i found were not tested i merely reported them ....i believe the numbers are 2008 as of last Cornell posted ....to me that is a big deal knowing a lot of deer are not reported and the fact many will never be found , will it destroy our deer population i doubt that but if your in a area with a high case level it's going to hurt your hunting.....it may not be as important as a dead show but i think it's pretty important to most sportsmen ... and my research was merely googling how many deer died from EHD in new york and the numbers are Cornell's ..........to make this out to be a joke is in my opinion unsportsman like , i never would have expected that of you .........
-
No jokes being made..
Not sure what it has to do with a Dead Show?
But I bet a lot more people died in NYS this year from COVID than deer from EHD..
And if you think I’m unsportsmanlike that’s fine. We all have opinions about others. That’s what makes the world go round buddy..
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile…. :D ✌️ Out…
-
i'm glad there is no reported cases in your county ...sure there is a lot of good concerned sportsman there that hunt and or enjoy a healthy deer herd
-
The 40 or so deer I see on the golf course seem to be just fine. They glance up and continue on their way.
No need to cry”WOLF”
-
that makes a lot of since if you look at the information i posted Cornell shows no cases in wayne county ,that is great! as of now we have 2008 counted with unknown unreported ...that is bad . I am sure we will weather this storm but it is important to report any sick or dead deer and stay informed
just wondering anyone hunting with a recurve????
-
Recurve? I can hardly set the string in my draw lock ;D

well i started with a recurve and that killed a few deer many years ago then i got a oneida eagle which i still own and hunted with it last year now a diamond by bow tec the 80% let off is great but i have a deer in the freezer so i like hunting with the recurve ......simple i have shot a few deer with this one but it's 45# and the limits my distance i don't like hurting a deer......it's a lot of fun i like my flint lock too

I think most guys our age have a history that starts with a recurve My first bow deer came with a bear Kodiak That bow is still around some where with a few decades of dust on it The idea of returning to my roots is interesting but age as well as injuries prohibit such an adventure An 80% let off mathews set at 50 lb is pushing my limits but I'm still out there doin it and loving every minute Better go- I have to get ready for the afternoon sit
-
i'm suffering from tennis elbow now but i'm good for a shot or two ....the eagle i loved but in all honesty the left off was only about 50% and the bow broke in the last quarter of draw ....this new bow is sweet....i was all in the bull at 20 as soon as i set the sight ......the recurve i draw i shoot there is no holding back as fred bear was a very fast shooter ....i do shoot the recurve instinctive so the bow fits feels right and it works for me like throwing snow balls as a kid
-
shot my very first deer with a bear kodiak 1971 at 7 yards62 pound doe ill never forget it.I came apart at the seams now i wouldnt shoot a doe unless i had too .Times sure do change
-
i can't argue your personal hunting ethics nor morality but the reason doe permits are given are to control the deer herd if we don't ,then like other areas government shooters will. if you don't care to i don't see anything wrong with that . someone will.....great story i shot my first not long after you got yours
-
touge30 started a great idea .......i'd love to hear every ones first deer story!!!! it's a moment i will never forget.....my sister had 3 deer coming in her yard every morning i got in the corner sitting on a bucket with branches around me i seen the first deer come out i drew back aiming care fully and let the arrow fly ....i hit the second deer toward the back....... i went to the house and my dad had been watching he said well coffee then well go find your deer....somehow i got lucky we looked for a hour and found him small button buck ....but i was on cloud nine i was the best hunter in the world...........in my heart that little button buck was a monster buck from the deepest part of the swamp .......what a great day..... lets hear your first dear story
-
i wish there were more young hunters to shoot em up.I LOVE TO SEE THEM EXCITED
-
you know it ,and thanks for sharing , got me reliving mine :thumbup_smilie:
-
Shot my first deer in 1980 in my 7th year of bow hunting with a bear re-curve - it was a 6 pointer that never bled a drop except where I hit it with my cedar arrow. My dad kept circling and circling and eventually found him about 70 yds away. It was on state land and there was a guy that was breaking my b@lls all year by putting his portable tree stand about 20 yards from where my permanent one was. He used a LOT of skunk scent every time out - he reeked. When I got down I asked him if he saw which way it ran (it was in his direction) - he said "what deer". After my dad found him I went back to my tree stand to get something I left there and the guy asked me "Did you find your deer ?" I said "What deer ?" and walked away. J@ckass. :D :D :D
-
Mine was a big fat doe down near Schenevus I was on the ground walking a ridge when she stood up 20 yds downhill All the practice in the world couldn't prepare me for that loud CRACK when that bear razer head met the shoulder blade She bounced about on the ground bawling the whole time Scared me half to death ! The next two arrows missed and then shaking like leaf I managed to dispatch her with my last one. Later my buddy said, what was that god awful noise ? That was a lifetime ago
-
My first see was a 165lbs doe. She came in from the right of me behind a tree that had fallen down but didn't die so branches grow straight up and down I drew back well she was behind it and when she stepped out broad side at 15 yards i let that arrow fly. Double lunged her she sent 15-25 yards and piled up. My 9 year old is deadly with the 22 hits anything with in a hundred yards. He will be a good Hunter once old enough but he will be in the woods opening day this year with me
-
My first was a rack with no tines drug it out to find someone stabbed one of my tires we believe it was the guy who we spoke to also hunting same area

My son and I have been doing a bit of duck hunting. This weekend he was able to call in and claim his first black duck. It’s going to the taxidermist this morning. With high waters this season, in the marshes and swamps, the ducks have been cooperating.🦆
Freddie, that old gun of yours will have many years of field trips!! Josh’s favorite for waterfowl!! Thanks!!😎
-
KP i have a new slogan ....take old farts duck hunting !!!!
josh great job buddy hard to believe when i was a kid they where common and you filled you limit with big ole mallards and blacks ....... ^5
good job gents
greensider i hate thinking a fellow hunter would do something like that ,i am sorry....i hope there is a special place in hell for people like that where they are stuck watching golf on TV for eternity
-
i had on really really nice buck that was 38 yards out on the ranger finder ...with my bow set down ( old fart settings ) and the fact 30 yards was the furthest is practiced i wasn't going to take the shot , looking back i will question if i could have made the shot ,but i rather question it then to have wounded a deer and not found him ,where i am not many bow hunters i might get another whack at him pheasant hunters came threw so break fest time ....on the way out

I have extra bobbers by the way!!!😎
-
I let a small 4pt walk yesterday afternoon. There running does pretty good…
-
Nice bird KP.
My only shots have been at small bucks so far. No shots at doe yet. They are definitely starting to get the itch though. I saw a nice buck standing in the middle of the road last night just staring into the woods.
-
Greensider sorry to hear
Good job guys ,
-
i think our antlered friends are starting to look for dates........ are you seeing a lot of small deer ???? i seen a lot of small yearlings
-
Bucks were moving this morning. Saw 5 different bucks on watch. My brother saw 4
-
Definitely seeing mor dor bucks one big one with head missing
-
went in 5:45 this morning came out 11 or so down the road was a fresh deer that got whacked , i pulled over ,a young fella was looking at it was a buck someone took the horns and left it ....kid said you think i could have it ???? i told him i think he should call law enforcement..... right then a sheriff happened by and said NP and filled out a paper for the kid , then the young fella gut it and tossed it in the trunk .....with the cost of every thing skyrocketing glad this didn't go to waste.... keep in mind if you fill your freezer to give someone a deer or a meat package ,lot of folks could use it
-
Also Glad it’s not going to waste

Yes you are right about that. Kansas is where I went for 8 years. But this year the landowner leased the farm out and so I don't have a place to hunt out there now.
It was a very good deal before, just buy a tag and go. They put me up and fed me. I would leave a big tip, but I guess a lease pays more.
It was fun while it lasted
-
That's a hell of a deer

Saw a first tonite As I was waiting for the Mrs. to come out of the woods, (yea she's a bowhunter too) a buck and doe appeared across the field . The body language that she exhibited was like nothing I had seen before. After several minutes of him with his nose in the business end, he mounted her and planted next years seed. At the very same time, my wife was watching another buck chasing several does in and out of a corn field. It's happening guys Get out there.

Not the biggest deer I have ever taken but also not the smallest… 8)
-
Nice work. Believe me, I know how much work, skill and luck goes into it.
This year, I made the decision to pass on some deer that I’m beginning to regret. Luckily, I have come to my senses and the next one I see will be in the crosshairs of my ten point!
-
It is the 1st one I ever shot with the bow out of a pop up ground blind not a tree stand.. ;D

Chops and steaks…..looks good to,me Dom.

Never had a liking for venison burgers. Usually too lean and dry. It’s always been chops, steaks, roasts and stew meat for me.
-
lot of guys add ground pork to the burger or sausage....... i like stew meat myself
-
I like ground venison for chili, meatballs, meatloaf, stroganoff, stuffed peppers, golobki etc.
I usually make butterfly steaks out of backstraps & tenderloins. Ground & stew out of the rest.
You just can't beat a good old greasy beef hamburger on the grill. Beef grease is delicious. The fat on a ribeye is like candy.

I like burger for tacos chili ECT. As for chops I want my back straps whole and tenderloins are whole and never hit the freezer

I love it all!
I mix my ground venison with 30% pork.
We are having venison meatball subs for dinner.
If you have never made Osso Bucco look it up. It is the best stew I have ever had.

27 lbs of venison with 6lbs pork fat with a 8oz bag of seasoning I get from runnings this is becoming my almost favorite venison meal whether it be burgers, meat loaf, tacos or whatever. Now the tenderloins are something special and must be treated as such Nothing beats a good loin treated with respect
-
Definitely can’t do straight venison burgers it needs fat added or pork
I often add some finely diced onion, shredded cheese of choice, a couple dashes of worsty sauce. The onion adds moisture and flavor, the cheese adds flavor and helps form the patties. Yum.

Try this....
1# lean venison...
1 egg
Flatten out venison in bowl and just sprinkle enough Italian bread crumbs over meat to slightly cover.. a good pinch of salt .. pepper .. 3 good dashes of garlic.. chopped up half onion... mix together and make burgers..
NOBODY will say... this is venison!!!!
-
20% added beef fat by weight makes a great burger. Much leaner than the so called 80/20 mix at the store. You don't have to drain a quarter cup of melted fat when you cook it.

already butchered and frozen........my dad was a butcher and I learned how to do my own processing.......myself and some buds make the process a group effort and have a blast telling old deer and fishing stories and maybe a beer or 2 8)
-
Great shooting scout a true testament to what dedicated practice and good hunter ethics will do
-
Have you ever tried pork fat instead? My in-laws had a pig butchered and I have 20 lbs. of lard.
Yes it works great.
I use apple smoked bacon in mine. Not a lot just enough to to hold it together and so it don’t dry out.
When I cook my burgers on the grill I put a big slice of onion on top and wrap each in foil and slow cook them and than open and brown them a little..
-
I figured some eye candy from yesterday’s hunt was in order. Nope, I didn’t get a shot off. Closest they came was 55 yds.

We normally use pork shoulder or beef fat. I'll give it a shot.
Nice pic P. I was out in the NZ yesterday with a nice coating of snow. No deer though.

Whats everybody's take on the effect of the moon on deer hunting? I've heard its a big factor, I've heard its just an old wives tale. I've heard they move more at night and less during the day on a full moon, I've heard people swear by hunting the day after the full moon.
The full moon has a long eclipse this Friday morning, supposed to be cloudy though.
-
Full moon Friday movement will probably slow a little just after but it only takes one doe to pep things up
-
Lots of studies on the moon.
A deer sees in shades. When the moon is full at night most head to open fields. The moon will leave shadows in the woods from the trees.
A couple days before and after a new moon is the best.
JMO.. ;)
-
I have a calendar which includes chores at home, things to keep the wife happy, and free time for me minus the days that are just plain crappy unfortunately is does not include the moon phases so going when I can go has to work for me sorry I can't be of more assistance
-
I'm with you. I hunt when I can. The moon has no effect on my hunting. When a nice deer presents a clean shot I take it. I have kept a detailed record of all my hunts for over 30 years and have been unable to establish any definite moon patterns. I shoot them when they come.
-
Same here. I have kept a log since I was 17 (28 seasons). I went through it about 5 years ago and checked the moon phases at the times I saw good rutting action. Guess what, it was all over the place. No correlation at all.
The deer might move a little more at night during a full moon but like greensider said, one hot doe throws it all out the window.
A good cold front has more affect than the moon phase in my opinion.
Hunt when you can and as much as you can.
-
I've never kept any kind of log except for the dec sighting log. I have however kept every tag I've ever made out since 1972 More deer have been taken Nov 2nd thru the 8th Than any other period of same number of days. This includes archery in the south as well as rifle season in the north. So hunt whenever you can but be there when November rolls around.

My neighbors son 2 year ago shot 1 that was 197 dressed , ate just fine
-
Just me Dom. I’ve passed more so called “good bucks” than I can count in favor of a doe for the freezer.
Just me.
-
I never passed on a “good” one but I have no problem taking a small one or a doe.. It’s all about putting meat in the freezer.. ;)
-
I never question a deer someone else shoots regardless of size or sex myself I have passed many more the last 10 years and now i hunt my own property where I usually have at least a couple 3 and at least one 4 year olds so i hold out for a real good one and take does when grandkids are with me
-
If it's got a rack I'm shooting it still haven't figured out how to cook them horns soft enough to eat

Yes sir...

Yes sir...
Yup!
A horse!

can't imagine passing up a deer like that WOW That's why you want to hunt the "Dacks"
-
Like I said….just me. I Don’t begrudge anyone’s decision.
Saw a monster the other morning on my walk. Couldn’t help but marvel. What an awesome thing for him to get to that point in his short life.
-
Some great bucks there.
Nice coating of snow this morning too. Hopefully it sticks until tomorrow's SZ opener.
-
Good luck tomorrow everyone..
-
Good luck tomorrow guys. I’m hoping the same does I have seen every hunt at 50-60 yds show up tomorrow. Going to be a little nippy in the morning.

Good luck everyone! It is like Christmas Eve. ;D

That's what happened to me Tuesday. Got in from hunting after the snow we got. Walked in the living room and looked out the backdoor. There was a beautiful 8 walking just off the edge of the lawn.
Good luck to all that are venturing out tomorrow.

Got the full story now.
Buck was bedded down when my nephew was walking by and shot it ..
Buck never got up..
-
Looks like someone was looking at the rack when they let that arrow fly. My buddy shot a doe this morning. His dad shot 2 doe with the crossbow this morning
-
Neck is a difficult shot - not a ton of kill zones - I've hit 3 in the neck with my bow.....had them go a few yards and drop a couple times and another time I thought I slammed one and never found it .... hate that ....... I've only lost a couple in my life and it haunts me every time ....
-
Your right Dom me and wife a team effort, been that way for about 30 years ,she hated guns but gave her few pointers and she took over from there ,hell of a fisher also my go to for driving boat when trolling or anything else ! Bow and crossbow hunts also , here it's about filling freezer ! Joint effort! Gonna be fresh loin tonight and fried red potatoes!!!

Nice deer everyone!!

Good weekend for little pounder his first season with gun tags in his pocket after a long bow season of him passing on year and half old bucks one being a nice 8 with double drops which we told him he had the green light but would not shoot because he told me he will be a great deer in 2 more years he was at full draw on a couple real nice mature bucks but just never real comfortable on the shots I gave him the green light on saturday to cut loose he punched two tags said he wanted to save the last one because he wants to go every weekend

The wife and I were off to a slow start this season when she decided to put an end to that this afternoon. She let this fat 4pt slip by this afternoon and then he tried to do it again an hour later. She said nope, no way not this time. That's 1 for me with the bow and 1 for her with the gun. We're done. Time to go ice fishing

My youngest son Chris got a small 8pt this morning. That’s my old 870 he uses. He pulled off the scope I had on it and changed the foregrip and stock to a composite. (gun butcher). 😎

Good deal Mac. Some inside loins to go with turkey and mashed potatoes. ;D

Nice one Mac If that's what small deer look like I'll take a small one every day Love to see those good guns get passed on in the family My first deer rifle was a marlin 32 special that is in the hands of the third family member and takes one down nearly every year great job by Chris
-
That's a NICE buck Mac. You can't beat a 870. (Well you can but it will still work.) I see you had a saddle scope mount. My dad bought my 870 for me when I was 16, over 50 years ago. Works as good as new. It's the Wingmaster version with now a cantileaver mounted scope, one of the "bull barrels" that I don't think are made anymore. It shoots well and I prefer it over a rifle in heavy cover. Congratulations to your son!
-
Congratulations to Chris. 👍👍
I still have my 870 pump 12 gauge from 1979..

I believe so.
I’d have to dig up the old photos to check. But I just sat down for a few minutes to watch some football before finishing getting dinner prepared.
It was new in the box but probably a leftover from years past.
My great uncle took me to an estate sale that had it for sale. I got it for $75!!!

I’m quite sure it did.

There has been a lot of deer shot with the 870.
I shot maybe 25-30 and Chris has shot way more than me.
That gun has probably taken 60+ deer.

Yeah they are a great gun.

Nice pics everyone. Well I finally filled a tag after a bunch of awesome encounters with a few giants with no shot opportunities and a bunch of passed smaller bucks including this buck during the archery season. An awesome November this year to be in the woods. Lots of chasing and saw a big 8 point breed a doe last evening of bow. Tuesday morning I closed the deal on a small 7 pointer with my muzzleloader at 90 yards….broke his heart 😜

My grandson was in his glory yesterday. He loves processing deer. He did probably 75% of the skinning and butchering. At 8 years old, He is doing great. He said " this is satisfying Papa. I really like doing this".

If anybody has young helpers, post some action shots. I love seeing young people enjoying the sport.

Good stuff DS. I love having the kids involved in it all.

That is awesome. I wish someone would have showed me how to butcher a deer at age 8. I butchered my first at age 62 and learned from reading a book. Finally starting to get good at it and I'll never take one to a butcher again.

Nice!
I used to love pheasant hunting back in the 60's and 70's.
Then they disapeared around here.
Last time I saw a pheasant was down near the Skyway about 10-12 yrs ago.
I cannot remember the last time I have heard one cackle.

Im with ya Bruce. Went out yesterday evening and saw 11 doe. I’ll be hunting til the end
-
Missed the last two weeks of rifle season, just about ready to get back after them. Predators are showing themselves during daylight. Time to set some traps.
-
This has been my worse season ever. I’m seeing very few deer and actually had only one 200 yd shot that I blew.
But, I still enjoy being out like crazy and wouldn’t miss it for anything. I’ll be heading out everyday during muzzleloader season and the extended season if I need to
-
It's better than sitting on the couch wondering what you are missing.
Any nice doe that comes in range of me is in trouble.
Good luck guys.

Outstanding job

Curious as yo how many of you will hunt the expanded late season next week.
Personally I'm 99% sure I'm done and with the weather outlook I'll get on a lake with the boat.
-
I will probably get out a couple of times. I have been trying to get a second deer in the freezer and can't seem to do it.
-
I'll definitely be out
-
I’ll be out during the extended season. Try to fill a doe tag or 2 but if a buck shows I won’t complain
-
I'll be out always hunt til the end always have always will til I physically can't do it anymore
-
I’ll be out too. I know i’m missing some good fishing but I still
need a deer.
-
I’m done . Buck with the bow. And doe tag filled..
Everything is put away.. ;D
-
Wish i could say that.started with the bow,shot my muzzleloader when i quit last night no buck seen hunted 18 days.!
-
done for me........buck and doe with the bow........heading for Myrtle Beach on Dec.24th for the winter.....flounder,sea trout and redfish......little golf mixed in 8)
-
I can fill more tags. But two in the freezer is just perfect for me. ;)
-
Ya i need one more. Big doe would be perfect.
-

Is that what’s in season? I’m driving down tomorrow night for 5 days. Thought about fishing but the family had vetoed that so far
-

yes.......all great eating too
-
Just had 5 does and fawns cross behind my house this morning. They seemed pretty nervous, at this point they've been harassed pretty hard. Good to see some seed left after months of hunting pressure. To those still going out for the new extended season good luck! For me it's time to switch gears and pull out the ice fishing gear.
-
Saw two does and a yearling yesterday evening when I took the garbage can out to the road.
Usually they just let me walk by.
Not these poor girls….
-
I gotta even the score little man is up 3 to 1 on me and reminds me daily we are gonna mix it up bow and muzzle all next week I took off the whole week so it should be interesting to see what happens
-
Had a doe and fawn behind the house this am. Have had does, fawns and small bucks in front of my camera all week.
Would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Dave we need to fish together this year.
-
Sounds good Ken! I'll be in my usual spot soon, I hope. Mirabito says it's skimmed over.
Enjoy the Holidays everyone...
-
Wife working 8-5 today got me some shiners,fatheads and spikes going to river in my Morris to try for an eye or two if nothing headed to south end of honeoye with shiners under bobber for bass if nothing there may try a few shore spots on Seneca lake .....doing the tour today! Supposed to be a nice day !

I gave it one last try tonight. Had a doe stay in the thick stuff until dark. It was a fun year and I learned a lot.
-

That's very interesting Dacker, I have seen similar reports elsewhere. They are suggesting that the virus was spread from humans to deer, you have to wonder how that could happen.
-
Good question ..... I hope the NY governor doesn't see this - they will be locking down the deer and forcing them to wear masks.

They gave me Lyme so maybe I gave them some Covid..🤪

How much???😂

$19 a month and I’ll send you a virtual perch to adopt with a lovely perch patch and tee shirt for your…well……wherever you want to put it.
I only need 3000 new donors this year. …and I’ll be able to save the perch….I guess…..until next year.
-
every one you save im taking two out of the loop ....save carefully !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha
-
Bob
You obviously notice what I always notice ..... Why is every donation always 19$???
-
That young boy has had a great season!
How Awesome for you both👍
-
It’s an IRS loophole. If a charity collects more than $250 in a year they have to report the donor information.
-
Ah I see now....... said the blind man to the deaf mule ! Lol
-
Have any of you ever watched this? You just missed one of the bigger bucks thats still sporting head gear...
-
Yeah I saw that! Pretty cool. Just happened upon it on YouTube about a week ago.
-
Did you ever see them using the SxS with the grain dispenser on the back with filler pipe that puts it in the troughs as they drive by them? Pretty cool..

They seem more common than their esitmates. With Euro mounts becoming more popular I would assume we will see more. I only skull cap mine so I have never noticed any fangs.

Not many apples on the trees up here because of that big snow storm in early spring…

My neighborhood herd is killing the apples as soon as they drop along with my August lily.
Fawns are still spotted up good but won't be long.

Only the smaller trees have apples here all large ones are bare

Have had my trail cam set up on a trail between 2 open areas in the slough here in SE Alaska, only video had been a moose that was close and basically a shadow as it was pretty dark. Checked it again yesterday and finally had some action, 2 moose and a bonus grizzly bear that was really close.

Awesome videos JJ! Thanks for sharing and enjoy your time in Alaska. I definitely want to visit there sometime.

Incredible videos!

There was a less than stable turkey at our office in albany one year. Chased a female coworker around her car

Something a little different this morning instead of headed to Erie for eyes gonna go try for a few squirrels!
-
Seems to be plenty of them Ben along with bunnies and woodchucks..
-
Yup I have rabbits everywhere around my house oct 1st be a few less ...I may have committed a felony this morning... stopped at a convenient store with my Ruger 22 behind seat not in a fireproof lockable gun case and went in and was no sign saying guns we're ok

The Erie County Sheriff says Hochul's new law is unenforceable and unconstitutional. He is hoping for a federal injunction to put the law on hold. Vote the communists out in November.

Yup, Dom a kid at local school 2 years ago checked his traps before school left one 22 shell visible in his pick-up girls walking by seen it ,reported it to office and school was put on lock down and kid was removed from property...when I was in school in shop class teacher several times would ask for a pocket knife to use because he forgot his

When I was in 6th grade I did one of those stupid, stand in front of the class and do a presentation.
I had traps, skins a 12 gage Rem a 22 browning and was able to bring them all into the classroom. No one got shot… 8)

That is when people had common sense but you can't teach that.

I always had to keep my gun and bow hidden in college. Used to keep them in my cousins trunk. I had permission to hunt the adjacent farm so I would sneak out early and head up the hill behind the dorm. Probably get kicked out of school for that stuff now.
-
Absolutely... probably get arrested

Bruce
I’m sure you would be expelled or worse , we brought our guns right through the front door only asked which direction i was heading
today in NY you can’t even buy pressurized whip cream without ID , 🙄
How times change

No squirrels this morning darn things moving to quick for 22 , gonna break out old Stevens double barrel 410 I used as a kid...love that little old gun!

When I was in 10th grade our science teacher held classes on gun safety and responsibility . He took a few of us out hunting for partridge, wood cock and pheasant. We had written permission from home and school to bring our shotguns & shells (mine was a stevens single 12ga) on the bus and we put them in a locked closet in his classroom. After the hunt, we cleaned the birds and a couple of dads took us home. GREAT MEMORIES and nobody was hurt.
Today you would be on the nightly news and the adults would be locked up.

Back in the 70's a friend and myself, as teenagers, went to the GE in Schenectady to put in job applications. In the back seat were our shotguns to do some small game hunting on the way home. We found a note on our windshield to contact so & so to get our guns back. (And the car was locked) We went to see this person and got interrogated as if we were terrorists from Iran. Thought we were going to jail.
All this political hoopla about guns is not new, it's just getting much worse.

I took my hunter ed course from one of my high school teachers in 1970. His name was Mr Sinowski, he has passed. It was given on weekends and he brought his personal firearms into school. After getting certified we went hunting for rabbits and grouse with another teacher and student. He hunted with a single shot 10 gauge, carrying an extra shell in his mouth! We also went fishing together on Seneca Lake. Great times and great memories. Times sure have changed.

Got us a p and y stud today

Nice squirrel...
I have seen a couple deer without velvet but no tree rubs..
-
Anyone hunting the early bear season this weekend I will be out scouted a new spot a couple weeks ago saw a sow with 3 cubs
-
No, I got one several years ago and I’m good. I can say I got one… ;)
-
I'm in the mushroom & squirrel mode right now. Made three good finds of chickens this week and am hoping for the hens to show soon. A little rain coming might wake them up and if there's time, I'll be tending to some tree stands. I've killed two bears and although I'll take another if given the chance, I probably won't put in an effort due to the travel required. We just don't have any in my locale.
-
Got in at daybreak this morning and was all set up hoping my wife would get a shot it was her first big game hunt as she just got her license at 730 another hunter came walking by I whistled to him he pointed past us and kept walking by right in front of us we relocated for a while but couldn't do much walking due to wife dealing with a bad ankle right now it was really awesome having her in the woods with me actually hunting
-
Hope she at least gets a chance to see one . It’s always exciting..
Good luck..👍
-
I dont hunt but let a buddy throw a feeder (in CT where it's legal) and a treestand on my property. So far havent seen any decent deer come by. Just black bears and turkeys. Good luck this season fellas.

Deer dont like turnips until a frost 🙄

-
Woke up yesterday to the feeder not being visable....walk up to it and there was a black bear butt and hind legs sticking out. Cracked corn...man they will eat anything.

I was blessed to shoot an elk on the second day of the CO muzzleloader season. I hit her at sunset and decided to back out and track her in the morning. She didn’t go far.

It took me all day to quarter her, debone the meat, and pack it down to a creek to hang and cool.
They picked up the meat the next day.

I knew you were going to ask that! I did not bring it back becuase I didn't want to deal with NY rules with brain matter and so on...
I did grab the ivories.
Started processing it last night. The deboned front shoulder, half the neck, and 1 loin together weighed 42 pounds. ;D

Reminds me of a day on Squam Lake in NH some years ago. While going across the lake we spotted something unusual and once we go close enough it was a Bull Moose swiming to an island. We followed at a good distance and watched him climb onto the island and chow down on blueberries.
No pictures just memories.
Thanks for the picture.

Took my little man out yesterday a.m.... had a 6 point 10 yards from blind.. as he drew back his cam hit roof.. buck ran off...
This a.m... for came in same spot.. drew back on her and she sensed movement and darted off...
15 min later... a buck showed up SAME TRAIL.. he ended up 7 yards from blind...
After 2 min (I recorded the whole thing) boy was able to draw back.. and smoked this guy... 13 years old.. not a SMASHER.. but a hell of a buck for first deer and first deer with a bow AND from the ground WITH A BOW
I could be happier... his excitement after he shot was unmatchable

I'm bummed New York didn't do anything about letting kids and old cripples like me use crossbows all archery season this year. Still have to wait for the last two weeks. I was against crossbows when I could shoot my vertical bow. To me, archery was about making the draw and shot undetected when the deer was close enough to hear him chewing acorns and still is. Old age, arthritis, nerve problems in my left arm have ended that for me. I didn't hunt for 5 years but I got missing being in the fall woods so I went to the Dark side and bought a used crossbow from a friend a few years ago. It sucked having to wait till the last two weeks of archery season, but at least i was in the woods again. I got excited last year when they almost allowed all season hunting but they pulled the rug out from under us.
I would still prefer my vertical bow, but any way to get out works for me. Any other crossbow shooters out there?
-
Congrats to that young man on his first deer!!!

My mom shoots a CB. Kind of sad when NYS can't make it legal for a 76 year old woman to hunt with me during most of the bow season. :-\

Thats the way to build memories

The smile on that young man’s face says it all. Congrats to him!!😎

Thanks guys!!!!
The best moments were after he shot it.. put his bow down and was shaking like a leaf on a tree in a hurricane.. he had to sit down he was so excited...
Then when we were tracking it, he spotted it first he ran to it and was like..DAAAAAD ITS BIGGER THAN WE THOUGHT
GREAT DAY IN THE WOODS ILL NEVER FORGET

Congrats to your son on a great harvest. An exciting morning with a perfect ending. Well done John.

Congratulation. By the looks of that smile I think he is hooked. Better get that lifetime license for him.

Deer all over the golf course. They pay no attention to us at all. Had to chase one off a tee the other day so I could mow it.

All you’d need to hunt these critters is an apple and a hammer.
-
They look well fed.
-
I have a golf course 1/4 mile up the road from me. See deer on it a lot . I always wonder how many toxins they have in them from the herbicide and fertilizer?
Because those deer come down in my woods..
-
Some states are posting warnings and NO eating of deer in areas found to have "forever chemicals" in venison. Not sure how they do the sampling, but the liver would be the primary do not eat. Is it like the fish samples where they grind up the entire fish? Either way sad to see.
-
They don’t eat grass Dom. They browse leaves, buds, apples, crab apples the nearby corn. Never seen a deer eat any grass anywhere. Grass just doesn’t have the nutrients they need so they don’t bother with it. I see them eating acorns, maple leaves and leaves off bushes mostly. That is until the apples are around.
Everyone thinks golf courses spew chemicals all over the place. But it’s not true for the most part. Only tees, and approaches get any kind of herbicides. The majority of liquid fertilizers and insecticides also go to tees, approaches and greens and that’s not very often.
Fairways get a couple shots of granular per year. Fungicides are the main product sprayed and what we use is organic. It’s a high concentrate of similar home organic treatments such as Bonide Liquid Copper. The other major applications are growth regulators. Fact is the products are crazy expensive. The budget for our application program is in the area of $60k and probably should be more.
A lot of our organic fertilizer comes from the irrigation system which is fed by the main pond. The whole property is built around a swamp system that stretches for miles. Lots of soluble organic matter there.
I wouldn’t worry about eating the deer.
-
They don’t eat grass Dom.
They actually do eat grass, but other stuff more than grass.
So, your suggestion that deer are probably not being contaminated from the herbicides and pesticides used on golf courses is a safe bet.
However, I would want to eat any of the fish from golf course ponds.
As for your statement about the poisons not being all over the course, I will definitely take exception to this Bob.
We have had a few golf courses close in the area (up north) and the remediation issues are huge before anyone can do anything on those lands.
Southshore CC is one. It sits dormant because of the litigation, etc. going on. Originally, there were plans for condos, but that came to a screeching halt.
Also google Westwood CC in Amherst.
That's a real shipstorm.
Here is a link to one article describing it. But there's tons more.
https://buffalonews.com/news/local/new-toxins-found-at-former-westwood-country-club-site-in-amherst/article_cab308a8-e4a6-5bff-b1c1-a941c171c8f6.html (https://buffalonews.com/news/local/new-toxins-found-at-former-westwood-country-club-site-in-amherst/article_cab308a8-e4a6-5bff-b1c1-a941c171c8f6.html)
I also remember the drums of toxins found at the old Creekside course out off Niagara Falls Blvd back in the early 80's.
That was crazy.
The toxins don't stay where they are used.
They spread through the water underground, etc.
Also, just because a course uses "safer" chemicals today doesn't eliminate or reduce what was spread in the past.
Golf courses are some of the highest contaminated parcels of land.
And the older they are, the more contaminated they are.
-
Can’t speak for past practices or courses in your area. After all, “Love Canal” was in your back yard.
Farmers used DDT for ages. We know better now. As for your contaminated golf courses, I only speak for current practices at our course. Ours has been a “Forever Wild” habitat since it’s inception. Lord knows what the residents in the $500k homes have put on their lawns, but I know what we put on our course.
Residential neighborhoods are, to me, the largest contributors to passive pollution. They hire the “lawn perfect” companies to dump loads of “stuff” on their picture lawns that end up in our streams and lakes.
Anyway, I wouldn’t worry about eating the deer. And, I’ve never seen a deer eating grass.
I wouldn’t eat any fish from that pond either.
Just because!

ya ain't going to live forever anyways ,eat the deer

That is not all deer will eat sometimes they will eat some

I'm starting to see signs that say" legal conceal carry gun owners welcome in store " I don't have a pistol permit but I think it's good to see!!!
-
Several deer will be getting a stainless and graphite dose soon from my pantry.
My wife is over the top on weed killer and based on the roundup stories maybe rightfully so. I've given up and will be turning my front yard to clover and the back to maybe antler king mix. She thinks I'll kill the 4-pound dog we have if any weed killer is applied.

Under the new law, which was signed by the governor on Friday, concealed weapons are not allowed in private businesses unless the owners put up a sign explicitly saying concealed carry is welcome
we all need permision now

so sad.....can't let em go till next morning in NYS.........need to put a bounty on d**n coyote's in this state........and people think that we should re-introduce wolves into the ecosystem......really........mankind won the battle of meat eating critters.......gonna go out on a limb and say we shouldn't put animals that eat man back into this state....we have enough things that prey on whitetail deer....just sayin
-
what a shame beautiful buck I've had to leave a few and I've always been lucky since I live in a coyote infested area. But then what area is not infested ? If I hit one late and I know it was a good hit I give it 2 hrs and I'm back with the coleman lantern. The ones I'm not sure of get the whole night
I might look into learning how to trap and go on a year long coyote safari
-
i had a trapping thread in here but it was removed however i would be willing to take anyone out and help them get started....it's a great challenge.....if you had wolves you would not have as many coyotes thats for sure .....
-
Should be year round on them I never leave them over night
-
i had a trapping thread in here but it was removed however i would be willing to take anyone out and help them get started....it's a great challenge.....
I trapped for years !!! Once my processing shop got too big I ran out of time to do it...
I will say , there is NO GREATER CHALLENGE than trapping...
Outsmarting an animals instincts without being present is hard but extremely rewarding when accomplished!!!!
My favorite sets in the wintertime are blind sets... no bait.. ot lure... just a trail and a stepping stick!!!
-
even tho the fur market has crashed i still like running a few fox and yote traps john ......i get alot of beaver problem calls as well......
-
Nice buck.
I am 50/50 leaving deer overnight. Not great odds.
-
I have been hunting the same farm for 25 years. At the start the landowner told me she didn't care what I did but leave the coyotes alone. Then the coyotes took her disabled son's cat. After that it was, I don't care what season it is but if you want to keep hunting here kill every coyote you can. It is a deer rich, coyote rich, habitat. But I have at least changed their demeanor. They are not as bold as they used to be. They used to come close to the house during daylight hours, they don't seem to do that anymore. You can't leave a deer overnight there, nothing but bones, hide and head will likely be left. And they are a real pain during turkey season.

THE THEORY OF TRAPPER ........ when the movie Bambi was released hunting license sales dropped by as much as 50% in areas and soon deer management p ;Dermits where being issued (doe permits) as time went on 70's the cute animal effect or Bambi effect was rising among young people soon hunting started declining and deer populations begun to rise fast ...as a life long trapper i can say i caught my first coyote in oswego county in 1982 i walked out of the field with it on my back and a state trooper stopped thinking my dog got hit and wanted to offer assistance as time went bye the deer population went up and so did the yotes ..... my theory is the coyotes are here in numbers doing what hunters had done for many years control the number of deer ..... we still have more deer then we ever had before so in my opinion the coyotes are getting a bad name ..... my opinion shot placement ......get a good shot or don't take it .....two carry a lantern in your truck and look a little harder .... get use to the coyotes they are here to stay without them the deer population would explode and disease and starvation would be natures next way to control the population and she sure would do it or like long island and other spots you would have government shooters killing deer ........ i rather have the coyotes , i have grown to like their singing :D
-
That is not only a theory, but it is the law of nature. Predator populations are controlled by their prey. 👍

Youth weekend...
Took my little man out again this a.m. for another hunt..
When my ex wife's father passed away he had left me his nearly brand new 30/30... he had only killed one doe with it...
My son wanted to carry it in honor of his tramps who has been gone 6 years now...
We left the house later than we should have because my son couldnt find his wallet and I wouldnt let him hunt without his license in his hand....
We still got In our blind with plenty of darkness left so we didnt spook any deer..
Same blindt hat last weeks 8 point kill was at....
725 a doe showed herself...
727 a buck popped up behind her...
Little man settled the crosshairs behind the front shoulder and gave this fella a shot to the ribs...
50 yards downhill and my son was ECSTATIC
Lucky young lad to get 2 8 points in same year one week apart!!!!
This one is much nicer

That is cool.
Twice in the past 2 weeks my bow targets have been moved several yards. Last year I had video of a young buck rolling my octagon target around. These bucks are getting fired up! Hopefully a dumb one walks in front of my mom or sister in law on Saturday.

After about a year of phisical for back and knee, starting to try morning walks again , beautiful morning made it about 2 miles wanna get back up to my 5-6 but knee still popping like crazy I see a specialist next Friday
-
Great pictures. Morning is the best part of the day. Good to see you getting around. Got to get to the doctor and get my knees lubed again before deer season. Was going to get them done this year, But my left arm needed some surgery to fix a nerve. I limited myself to one operation a year. Last year was my heart. This year my arm. Hopefully my knees will get done in '23. Enjoy the season.

Nice work kc, congrats.

The state really needs to do something about the coyote population........I've never seen so many in all my years of hunting.......maybe a bounty or something similar.....they are out of control.....imo

Many states have gone to year round

We hear Coyotes celebrating during the night routinely. NH has open season on them. Hunting license is required.

FYI to Southwestern NY hunters. Kennedy Meat Market in Randolph NY is not processing full deer carcasses. They will only accept boneless meat to make smoked products and sausage. Do not know the reason. If you have gone that far, you might as well finish it. Plenty of instructions and recipes on the internet (bearded brothers butchers you tube is one). Kennedy did hundreds of deer every year for many years. Could not find another processor in the area. Had to go back to Buffalo. Good luck to all.

Awesome

Congrats on the deer.hows everyone doing out here.i been away for a while .just busy and then a relaxation period had major back surgery.so I felt good to take little guy and myself for our first deer hunt this year .he has to help me get started In tree so I can climb we hunted montezuma wild life refuge in montezuma 30th yr hunting it we had a great time and seen something very different in there here's a few pics

It’s an old story. I live in the Rochester area, to the east. Can’t count the times I’ve seen the Lake Erie snow machine get into high gear and have had tried to drive into it for work.
Told my Bride this afternoon, “ sure glad I’m not on the bucket truck”
Happy to be retired!
-
Good luck to all southern zoners tomorrow. Be safe , shoot straight and stay warm… ;D
-
RG, As we discussed in the past, your right, it sure gets ugly.
The only thing worse is not being able to use the bucket truck and you have to climb the pole with hooks. The tons of snow and ice falls off the cross arms and down your neck.
-
I'm slow as always congrats on your first bow buck that's a dandy for the first 1 .good luck to all you southern guys be safe be careful.ill be out with the little guys for sure.we been seeing some nice ones during cross bow got the little guy limited to 30 yrds with his crossbow for this yr next yr I'll let him practice a little longer shots first yr with crossbow for him.i could of taken a couple nice bucks at 50 yrds but I want him to get 1 he will have the rifle tomarrow he's good at 75 yrds hopefully one comes in so he can get 1 it will be his second deer .he shot a 9 point last yr on last day of rifle I'll dig the pic up..

Got it done this afternoon 4:53 pm. Watched this deer from 345-453 laying on the ground waiting for him to make a mistake which he did walked right to me blew his heart out at 20 yards

Just finished putting my 2nd deer in the cooler. A 4pt with the bow last month and another 4pt yesterday when my Mrs pulled the trigger and we're done. Now I just have to pull down a few tree stands put stuff away. The next venture will be drilling holes in the ice, and it won't come soon enough for me. Let her come !

Congratulations guys

This was my 35th SZ opening day. My father put a gun in my hand at 12.
Over all those years I have never seen much more than a basket 8 point on opening weekend.
I doubt I’ll ever top this and I don’t even want to! Shot him at 6:41.

That’s a great buck. Congratulations mister… :thumbup_smilie: :thumbup_smilie: :clapping: :clapping: :flex: :flex:

Reeleyz, one very nice buck but what I like the best is "how you were able to re-enact the look on your face when when you saw him coming". Again CONGRATS.
Jr. Big Guy, Congrats, nice start. Many more to come.....h2l
-
Thanks guys. A little more backstory on this.
My buddy Ron shot a buck opening weekend of bow so he has been sitting on the sidelines the entire bow season. Friday he went out to check some cameras with his bow in hand. He had this buck dead to rights at 30 yards and passed because he had no tag. Saturday morning he texted me before first light and said "I think you have the best shot at the big one". 45 minutes later "the big one" was dead on the ground in front of me. I yahooed so loud Ron heard it over a half mile away. He texted me and said "Tell me that was you?". He was so happy that I got him. That is a true friend right there.
I shot him within sight of where my dad shot his last buck 24 years ago and also where he passed away that same day. It was very emotional and very special to be there with my brother, nephews, mother, and good friends.
-
Reeleyz great buck and nice story congratulations.
-
Congrats Bruce , excellent buck
-
Thanks guys watched him from 345-453 Saturday afternoon. I had gotten down was going home hadn't seen nuts in the stand all day. I got the edge of the field he was 200 yards out I laid down on my stomach and put my self in good shooting spot. At 440 he decided it was time to come across the field he walked to a spot I said when he hits I'm dropping him. Hit him in the heart at 20 yards he ran about 30 yards and face planted
-
Congratulations to all you lucky hunters.
Reeleyz, that's a great buck for anyone. Nice personal touch also.

Bruce, so happy for you brother!! That is awesome beyond words. Your dad was definitely watching down on you from his treestand in the sky. I remember the story of your Dad’s last buck told to me by our friend Dave. Congrats again man on an awesome deer shared with your family and friends. Doesn’t get any better than that.

Thanks Bobby.

seriously they are impressive deer
-
Not sure if it's ok or not but check out nyantler it's pretty impressive what ny can produce. I always think it's funny that onondaga county rarely has any listed.
Some great deer and hopefully better stories to go along with all of them. One doe so far but not for lack of opportunity.
-
The bottom pic is 1 of my oldest friend , he’s still knocking them down and he’s close to 80 if not 80
The other 2 my have pics on the post office wall 😃
-
I wish I had the patience to wait for a good one. I always feel a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush so the first 4pt that comes by ends up in the freezer. Just for the record, I am jealous. There have been some really nice buck pics posted. Congrats to all. I'm done, stands are all home, and I'm waitin on ice.

Some incredible deer on that site. Mostly WNY.
I shot my buck in Otsego County and I didn’t notice any bucks posted from there either.
-
Really nice deer being taken this season!! Congrats to all!!😎
-
There have been some nice bucks taken this year. Congrats to all.
62 & done, I know what you are saying. I only hunt the Adirondacks so waiting for Mr. Big to show up could take a while. 66 years to be exact. Over the years I have let a lot of smaller deer walk early in the season only to have tag soup. That being said I have never looked back. I enjoy just being able to still get out as much as I do....h2l
-
Congrats to all who got their deer, some really nice bucks taken.

Still bow hunting and waiting on mr big but am taking a few doe the one in snow is this mornings

Congrats on the doe!
Earlier this season I had a couple of screw ups on big bucks. My wife knew how mad I was at myself. One day while I was on the road she called me and put my 6 year old on the phone. He said, "It's okay to mess up, but you're not going to give up that easy are you.?"
I hope I can remember those words for the rest of my life.
-
Pequod, Congrats.
Reeleyz, don't worry, he won't let you....h2l
-
Well done everyone ,
Bruce those are great words for everyone to follow
-
Awesome Jim ...congrats!!
-
Pequod1 they're all to be proud of I let a decent 8pt slip by me twice on opening day Never saw him again Took a 4pt later on good enough for me
-
Those grandkids always seem to know how to set us straight Reeleyz. Words of wisdom.

How old is that flyer ?
I have all of those shotguns and rifles.
I recall wanting The 12ga Ithica Deerslayer a long time ago. I ended up buying one and it never matched up to my Mossberg 500. Mostly because of the location of the noisey safety on the trigger guard. As we all know, you make the slightest noise and a deer will look you in the eyeball
-
That is pretty cool. That H&R was the first pistol I ever owned.

I have both deer slayer and Mossberg 500. I love the deerslayer only down fall like you said the safety. Still I choose the Ithaca over the Mossberg anyday however those days are numbered my 10 year old gets it when he's old enough to hunt. It was my wife's grandpa's gun
-
I 've got 2 of the Deer Slayers in 20 gauge One is really old with the longer barrel They don't get much use now that rifles are legal, which I don't know why I even use a rifle since most of my kills are under 30 yds I guess the Henry 30-30 is just more fun

model 37 best pump shot gun ever made and light .....now they are worth big bucks.....

I have H&R 20 gauge single shot heavy slug barrel as well
-
Same here. 20 gauge Ithaca . I found the shirt slug barrel at a gun show a few yrs back and bought it. Killed a lot of deer with it out to around 70 yds and I still use it today on a small 55 acre parcel I hunt.
-
Got a 37 model 16 gauge from early 50s was my dad's he bought it new in 50s it has a single intermediate barrel only for slugs and shot
-
My first shotgun was a 12ga Stevens single shot. It was a gift from my grandfather and he called it his barn gun. Later that year he bought me a new Sears catalog gun (also a Stevens 12ga) for my 13th birthday.
No idea how many birds, rabbits and squirrels i got with that gun.
-
Always wanted an Ithaca 37. When they reorganized, I bought a Mag 87. Anybody else have one?
I have a friend that I have hunted with for over 50 years that has a Remington 20 gauge. It was the shotgun that the Ithaca 37 was modeled after. He shot many deer at 100yds with that shotgun.
-
I had an 1100 Rem auto. It was a 3 shot duck gun. The day I got it me and a buddy shot a couple boxes of shells out of each and boy our shoulders were sore.. 8).
-
The Rem 1100 is a real nice gun. One of my friends has one and its real solid.
He has a 10g goose gun. I shot that a couple of times and that gun was rhude - shoulder buster
-
Deerslayer 12 gauge was my first weapon. Only hunted archery for years, then one year I missed a nice 8 pointer, about 30 yards. Went right to Dick’s and got the Model 37.
My father has a Browning Sweet 16. Don’t know much about when he acquired it, but it’s older than me. That is indeed. “Sweet” weapon.
-
I have an Ithaca 20ga side by side. Shot a few bunnies with it over the years...h2l
-
My first gun was a Mossberg 500. That gun killed a lot of Deer, Grouse, and Bunnies over the years. Still have it, just never seem to use it anymore.
-
Bought my son a 20 gauge Ithaca feather weight when he started to hunt, later on got him a 12 gauge deer slayer, he is left handed and it was easy to change the safety to left hand. That was 34 years ago, he still has both guns today.
-
Congrats on the deer.hows everyone doing out here.i been away for a while .just busy and then a relaxation period had major back surgery.so I felt good to take little guy and myself for our first deer hunt this year .he has to help me get started In tree so I can climb we hunted montezuma wild life refuge in montezuma 30th yr hunting it we had a great time and seen something very different in there here's a few pics

Great memory for sure his first seeing a bear in the woods we were both happy to see it.we watched it for 45 minutes.it was 20 yards from me and about 35 yards from little guy.not allowed to shoot them in there only deer.
Some AH killed the bear at Montezuma! at least they caught him but come on man!
-
That sucks for that bear. In a no-kill bear zone.🤦🏻🤬
-
Bigguy, any sign of waterfowl activity there?
-
That is a bummer.
-
How stupid is that….. >:(

About as wise as the guys a few years back that were hunting with shotguns within the Naval Nuclear Facility down the road from me…

WOW
You just brought me back to some great times. My first bb gun was that exact gun. My gramps got it for me. My friends and i shot at wooden matches, caterpillars, etc.

Got my little man out this weekend chasing some birds...
Yesterday we got a later start than I wanted(totally my fault for not being prepared, lost my slate call and walmart doesn't open till 6 a.m.)
We had birds gobbling all a.m. but I couldn't get them to come to us and they were on ground I don't have permission to hunt...
This a.m. was a different story.. same exact spot.. these birds were roosted about 100 yards from us.. we got out of the truck and the birds started gobbling at 530..
We rushed to get the blind set up and our decoy out... it was foggy so we had some time to get set up quietly.. There were 3 birds together gobbling at birds down the valley.. they would be gobbling back and forth( they were Jake's so they talked ALOT)
I Gave a few soft purs and clucks as it got lighter out just to let them know we were there while still roosted..
At 615 they got quiet and didn't hear a peep.. I figured they flew down.. so I gave one quiet pur and they erupted in all 3 banging their wings and gobbling...
At 620 my boy had his first turkey on the ground.. got to watch the other 2 Jake's ju p on this one as he flopped on the ground!!!!
So cool as I got it all on video too

Congrats to the young one, great job dad.

That is awesome! Congrats to both of you!!!
I took my oldest boy (10) to PA on some public land. He had a swing and a miss on a tom. Just a bit too far for the .410. So next year he'll be caring the 20! We had a blast though. He got to hear a lot of gobbling and see some birds up close.

FJ, congrats to your son.

It's so awesome when the woods are filled with gobbling birds...
3 Jake's roosted together and they were gobbling like crazy at each other in the tree!!!
My boy shooting a 3 1/2" turkey load...
I told him when he pulls the trigger he wants to fold em up like a lawn chair!!!!
As rut Daniel's would say...
IF THE TRIGGER IS GOLD THE BIRD WILL FOLD

This is making me crazy I looked in yet another spot today- nothin!
-
Holy cow! I’m not sure I’ve ever even noticed 1.
-
I have never seen a morel anywhere. I walked through a giant patch of ramps without knowing what they were the other day. Now I'm thinking I should go back and harvest some.
I did shoot a turkey on Friday morning, first one in probably 20 years. 8" beard, didn't get a weight on it.
-
New York state isn't the best state for morels, but they do grow. It doesn't compare the the Midwest or other Great Lake states. Last year I got blanked! Some years I'll find a few hundred. That's all part of the fun...and the eating! Dead elms, apple trees, tulip poplar, and cottonwood are all areas
they MAY grow. I found all 87 in the same area the other day. Struck out in about a half dozen other locales.
-
Congrats on the turkey TF! This is definitley a good year for birds.

I'm done with the mushrooms. Got a tick on me yesterday I'm done. So in that case, we went fishing. got 2 of these beautiful morning on the river

naaaaa i wouldn't support that'i think yotes in general get a bad rap
-
We loose an average of 50 percent of our fawns every season I run all my cameras all year I have seen it
-
gaddam vermine......kill em all......should be a year long bounty on them
-
One interesting thing about coyotes is that they can adapt to higher mortality rates by having larger litters.
-
Wonder what they taste like?
;D
-
Chicken lol. ;D
-
A buddy of mine who works for a town dot in the southern tier told me they were excavating around a collapsed culvert pipe a couple years ago and dug up a coyote den that had around 60 fawn skulls in it.

I had 2 coyotes come into my turkey decoy this year. One was about 15 yds away, while the turkey was gobbling up the hill. I tried to spook him away. All he did was circle around and walk between me and the decoy at about 7 yds. Needless to say the turkey never came in.

I had a similar situation about 20 years ago. I had a decoy set up and a Tom and hen responding. I had a coyote sneak in behind me. I waved my arms and it ran back. Then the hen started to approach and he snuck back out in front of me. He stood there still, waiting for that bird, and she walked right to him. She got to about 10' away from the coyote and I got up and spooked them both before he had a chance to kill her.

Open season all year!!

I've got a pair of Fox with a litter under my barn. This is the second time in 3 yrs. I'm surprised at how many Turkey and rabbits that he brings home. The remnants are always scattered around after they get done with it. I watched 2 of them a few days back wrestling over a crow. They have to be great hunters considering how many birds they get.
-
The history of coyotes in this country has time and time again proven that "kill em all" will NEVER produce the results you want.
Killing them results in larger litters as well as reproducing at a younger age. Killing the dominant coyotes disrupts the pack causing them to spread out and start their own packs at higher reproduction rates. It does not decrease the population.
We've been trying to kill them all for 150 years and all we have done is help them spread to every inch of the country. We wiped out bears, cats, and wolves to brink of extinction with ease, buy coyotes are a different story.
-
There is no way killing a yote won't help it absolutely will reduce their impact
-
The only thing that makes sense to me is hammering on them in the winter to reduce their numbers. Then they have less of an impact on the young of the year. Their numbers will rebound that year and then we do it all over again.
-
I have not trapped since I moved to Tioga county but this fall I will set everything I have
-
Why wait ?

Managed to fill both my turkey tags, on 5/1 and 5/9, before I had to leave for my second summer in Alaska on 5/14; both 5-6 yard shots.

jj nice pictures ....... coyotes lets see.......we have a high population on deer to the point we have special seasons and government shooters in some areas .... we have a decline in hunters ...now we just had a diease break out were a no see emm wiped out vase numbers of deer ...... you kill the yotes off mother nature will knock the herd down x fold more then any yote population ever will ....i remember a time i got to shoot a buck no eextra deer for bow hunting and a due permi was split amongest 4 guys .....now i walk in to get licences no special areas i get 7 tags to fill and your worried about a yote .......hunt them if you want they are a game animal and trapping them is a lot of fun but hateing them shows ignorance and greed................ coyote season runs from oct 1 to march 26....30,000 -people enjoy hunting coyotes and 3000 trap them ......

Thanks guys, really happy to be back in Alaska. Brought my 6wt fly rod this year and have caught a mess of Dolly Varden, several Cutthroat and one Sockeye with it so far, and a second Sockeye broke off while I was frantically reeling the line I had stripped in trying to fight it on the reel. Haven't used it in years because I wasn't interested in fishing much when I was guiding.

What are we supposed to be looking at here?
Basically, food seed to lure in deer to be shot.
Bait and shoot for deer is not legal in NY.
However, many do it.

This. Selling bait in the hunting section of Walmart where it’s illegal to bait deer
-
Planting a food plot is not illegal in NY. Hunting over one is a different story.
But they still sell mineral blocks and bags of corn specified as deer corn. Go figure… ::)
-
Id buy that argument Dacker if the bags were in the garden center…
-
There seems to be some confusion here. It is perfectly legal to plant food plots and hunt over them in NY. It is very common. It is not legal to place any mineral blocks containing salt where deer have access. It is not legal to place bait to attract game. You will see bags of "deer candy" in many retail stores later in the year. It seems obvious that most of these, if not all, are being used illegally to bait deer. I imagine most of these contain corn, maybe with some salt or sugar added. The DEC will ticket anyone caught doing this. It does seem wrong that stores can sell this stuff in NY when it is not legal to use it in NY. That's NY for you.
-
I inquired about this with an ECO and that is exactly what I was told. They can sell it but you can't use it. Daaa Then why allow it to be sold in NY?
-
I guess technically you could feed the deer. But I prefer them grilled, not befriended
-
I've heard Walmart and other stores sell it and claim that people can buy it to use in other states, pretty lame excuse to make money off the cheaters. Learn how to hunt.

Just the opposite for lead sinkers. Can't sell em in NY, but you can use em.
-
NY DEC is full of hypocrisy. First, most of the state went from shotgun to high power rifle " to help control the deer" yet won't allow full inclusion for xbows for older people. They want to "protect" spawning bass by having a season, yet allow tournament fisherman to target them on beds (allowing gobies to eat their eggs). They wonder what is wrong with the grouse population but I see more fisher than grouse in my area of the southern tier. Thanks for introducing another predator when there isn't a market for fur. Statewide 10" limits on crappie will produce lots of lakes with 9" just like they were 8" when they had to be 9". Yet they a "worried" about crappie taking over the St Regis lakes. There are other things I can't remember right now.

I’m and old buzzard, I seen many things over the years , some not so bad and others that make no sense what so ever
1 rule I would like to see back in place
Would be no fishing any fish out of season , no catch and release fishing

I agree there 100 percent Fred

As a SCUBA diver I can tell you that the gobies quickly raid nests when a bass is off the bed. There are youtube videos of this. The catch and release out of season only applies to bass, correct? I don't think you can target walleyes or pike out of season, although it might be hard to prove you were targeting them. So, why the exception for bass?

Probably because there's so freekin many of them.
I'm going out on a limb here and figuring the DEC decided that even if the gobies eat the eggs that it won't damage the bass eco structure.
-
Ok here’s my take I’m going to say the bass organizations carry a lot of weight in some areas , Oneida isn’t as good as it once was
Jefferson county has unlimited bass and they don’t allow it
If the DEC believes your targeting fish out of season you could get a ticket but most times they will warn you and tell you to move on , we see it up north while perch fishing this spring , we had a visit from the DEC checking licenses and so on
We ask them about it and they say they give out lots warnings
-
A ticket for targeting is a hard one to get. Some states do it right by saying if you catch a species that isnt in season more than 3x and dont change tactics you are "targeting" them. Makes sense.
-
Basically, food seed to lure in deer to be shot.
Bait and shoot for deer is not legal in NY.
However, many do it.
But those are food plot seeds...?
Planting seeds in the ground is not baiting and is perfectly legal, which is why i was confused at what the picture was supposed to be pointing out.
Seed =\= feed.

One Spring the GF and I were perch fishing with minnows on Fair Haven Bay. We were doing pretty well on the perch. I caught a couple smallish pike and a bass in a row. She put her pole down and made me move the boat. I think if you were casting big spoons or something like that a CO would have a good argument for writing a ticket but we were legitimately perch fishing.

Understood.
And food plots are NOT illegal in NY.
A hunter going out and creating a food plot for deer and then hunting in that area isn't really "bait and shoot" I don't believe.
However, tossing out a few bushels of apples or setting up a few salt licks and shooting the deer that show up, is illegal.
I personally think that it's splitting hairs, and both are "technically" baiting, but it only matters what a DEC agent decides.
I think that if a guy wants to go out into the woods and prepare the ground and create a food plot, watering it, taking care of it, etc. that is fine.
The guy is doing tons of work to create a "localized" habitat conducive to where deer like to live.
He put the effort in - he should be rewarded, to some extent.

I think if you were casting big spoons or something like that a CO would have a good argument for writing a ticket but we were legitimately perch fishing.
Many years ago (like 40) I was throwing a huge spinner bait in a local creek for pike.
It was spring and they were not in season.
I was catching quite a few and returning them safely.
I did this for days, knowing that I was actually catching the same pike numerous times.
The local CO showed up. (I knew him)
He asked what I was fishing for, watching me throw this HUGE spinner bait.
I told him "bullhead".
Just then a nice pike hit, and I reeled it in and properly released it in front of the CO, cursing how these PITA pike are getting in the way to me catching bullhead.
He just laughed and as he was leaving warned me that every PITA pike I caught better be released.
I said, "of course".
The point is that there are people who will target fish to keep illegally.
And there are people who simply want to have some fun and catch some fish - but not keep or hurt them.
A decent CO will/should analyze the situation and decide whether to issue a ticket, a warning, or otherwise.
The laws are written to try and cover all situations so that they take care of the bad stuff.
Then it's up the CO's to decide how to enforce the laws. Not us.

I'm going out on a limb here and figuring the DEC decided that even if the gobies eat the eggs that it won't damage the bass eco structure.
Ohio thinks otherwise on Lake Erie, they put a season on the smallmouth a couple years ago. The problem isn't guys arbitrarily catching bass, its guys targeting bass on the beds, especially tournament guys. With live scope and the Megaphone tubes they look in the water with, the bass don't have a chance. It will eventually have an effect. The guy that caught a 30lb bag during a tournament on Cayuga last year admitted they were all bedding fish. Wheres the sport in that? Catch them when there already stressed, haul them around in a livewell all day, and release them miles from their nest. Those eggs/fry don't have a prayer.
-
Personally, I believe that when a person deliberately drops an out of season fish into his live well with the sole purpose being to transport that fish, he should be liable for a ticket and fine for taking and possessing protected wildlife. It should make no difference whether or not he intends to release said fish after weigh in. These tournaments are just plain CRAP. Also, the organization promoting this activity should be held equally responsible.
-
Completely agree 62 I like the major league fishing rules camera in boat weight person in boat fish released on the spot after handling carefully never liked the standard bass tournament keeping fish in water box to release and probably die later after being bounced around in that box all day
-
I remember seeing a post on another site a few years back showing a camera on a Smallmouth bed on Lake Ontario. They caught the smallmouth and immediately released it and it showed how long it took the bass to return. It was long enough for the gobies to start hammering the bed. Those preseason Cayuga bass were caught multiple times. Guys had GPS coords of where the beds were. Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.

As some of you know…My son and I are bass fishing fanatics, but, absolutely refuse to fish for bass on beds. Not long after ice out, we’ll toss chatter baits, jerk baits, and crank baits in hopes of catching a bass. If we do, we do. But, the thought of a tournament, for a big payday, fishing for bass on beds to win???? No sport in that at all. Directors, anglers and sponsors of those tournaments should be nut punched. Most of the anglers who do it, do it for the glory shot from their phone to post in the heroes page on social media. No heroes in my book. I actually love bass fishing when the dog days of summer set in, jump in the boat with my son and go crack 5 big ones that we actually had to grind for 8 hours to catch. Most of the heroes want the info on how to catch them. Go earn em, we do!! I do believe more patrolling of ECO’s will help stop some of the heroes from targeting the bass on beds up north from us. I haven’t quite figured out why snagging dying salmon tickets are more important than heroes targeting bed fish or people keeping over limits of fish tickets…..🤦🏻 easier to walk on land and write tickets, I guess!!! Carry on boys!!!😎

I’m hunting with a paintball gun from now on. And salmon fishing without a hook on my line..I wouldn’t want to kill something during breading season cus that’s the kind of guy I am.. 8) 8) ::) ::)
-
As far as I'm concerned, targeting bass on beds is about as smart as a spring doe season. Maybe that'll be the DECs next move to curb the deer population!

I finally got my lifetime tags in the mail.
-
I'll. Be first in line Tuesday for my licence and doe tags...it's like a tradition for me ....can't believe it's almost August already!
-
I'm going to get my license on the first too. I'm an old fart. I'm going to get my first $5.00 license this year. My 55th season is coming this year.
-
Got my DMP’s in the mail today..🦌🦌🦌🦌😁😁😁
-
I believe I just paid $30 for everything. Hunting,fishing, Turkey, doe tags, bow/ muzzy. Now I just have to get excited about going!
-
I'm excited and payed 120$ for everything
-
I bit the bullet years ago and bought my lifetime license . Free DMP's with it.
-
Everything for me is free, just have to pick up my ML tag at town hall, I don't get DMP"S....h2l
-

Yup me too….👍👍👍

I got my lifetime back in 99. Then got the LT bow a couple of years later. Now I am so old, that I get the muzzleloader for free.
Just need to put in for my doe tags.

If you want to catch decent pannies you have to let these guys swim another day. He's probably not legal but I wouldn't sacrifice him just for a fillet anyway. They clean up a lot of the surplus fish leaving room and more feed for the survivors. Fun to catch, even more fun to watch him swim away.

:clapping:
-
Put up 2 tree stands this morning - maybe 4 or 5 more to go It was really nice to work with the cooler temps and a breeze. No bugs!
-
just a reminder ....sept 12th we go to the new york state back ground checks on guns and ammo that you have to pay for!!!! not to mention it is a unproven system that will most likely have bugs , my suggestion go get what ammo you are going to need for the season now!!!!!
-
exactly right , get what you need now, also get some for the kids so they have some for what later years are left
-
hey the good news i got myself a new over and under for duck hunting .....kind of excited now :D
-
May I ask what brand of over under you purchased ?
-
Did you get some steel shot also!
-
Just applied for my DMP's. First time that I have been awarded 2 in 7m.
Also put in for my free muzzleloader tag and my Marine license.
Gotta love the benefits of a lifetime license and being over 70.
-
i got the stoeger condor 12 ga i won't be as afraid of scratching this one as much as one of my good guns yes i had 10 boxes of steel shot i got from wal mart on a dump sale severel years ago i'm good on ammo ....also we have a hunting camp in PA where i'll be buys shells in the future
-
The stoger is a nice value shotgun I purchased the stoger D/B in 16 gauge it was a short run I guess I haven’t seen any more available, good luck with your new one, I looked at the stoger long Fowler maybe before things worsen
-
Got my 4th tree stand up today. It was a little more work than I had planned since I had to cut a couple shooting lanes through the thorn apples and it was a bit warmer this morning with no breeze, and that worked well for the mosquitoes. Maybe 1 more for now and then we'll see what shows before I move or install more.
Trapp ; you're going to enjoy that O & U. I bought a Ruger 12 ga in 3"a few years back while on a trip in Pa. I've owned a lot of scatter guns and I think I'm most fond of this one. It'll tear a duck out of the clouds and mangle a gobbler's noggin. Always wondered what I could do with a coyote but just can't seem to drag myself out on a cold winter's night. Good luck pal.

looks good greensider mine is mostly flat with very little for funnels. surrounded by agriculture so they can find a meal in any direction. makes healthy deer but also can be challenging..
-
We have a local farmer who uses 3 of our fields for hay and corn it's a quarter of a mile from the road to the top of our land the deer have good travel paths pretty predictable and the guy behind us has plots we just keep our fields on the hill mowed so they take their time going up and coming down I just started doing my own plots my wife just started hunting last year had a great first season taking one with crossbow one with a rifle
-
Watch for ground bees ! I do quite a bit of brush hogging and have noticed more this year than usual. This morning while snooping for another tree stand location, I bumped into 2 nests. They both got me.
Also found my first morrell in years today. It was way past good but at least I know they exist.
-
Anybody doing well with the gills lately? I was having a ball into mid-July. They seemed to be deeper each trip and now it's been 3 trips and hardly anything. Thought I knew how to catch-em but right now I'm baffled. I know the heat is not great for anything and my trying to learn to fly fish has left me at somewhat of a disadvantage, but the ultra-light and jigs are striking out also. Just wondering how you all are doing.
I have caught a few suspended ones while trolling for walleye.

Went to a 3D shoot down near Cortland NY yesterday. Ran into an old friend from many years ago. Marty is 80 years old, still seems and acts of a man much younger. I hope when I'm 80 we're still shooting together.

I was in Runnings today and I asked if reloading supplies (IE: powder, primers bullets etc.) will fall under the same rules with ammo regarding the back-ground checks. It was obvious that they have not even been told was the rules will be at all. They were all just guessing and coming up with their own ideas of what would be required. I've already got my own ideas. I may take a ride to Pa one day and stock up if this ends up being a real hassle.
-
I have a better idea just leave ny I don't think I will be here much longer this is possibly the best state in the country but is being destroyed by Democrats

I was reading an article in the Outdoor News and it sounds like the details have not been communicated to any of the people actually doing the selling. :o
-
My bet is they do not have any details yet......results = no sales.

It’s taken them 10 years to get this in place. It seems straight forward. The gun background checks are pretty much instant?
-
20-30 mins my last few.
-
the back ground checks were instant when we were using the FBI system we will now be withdrawing from that to use the states new system ....and as someone mentioned no system up no sales!!!! i stocked up on hunting ammo and have been for awhile.......i suggest everyone do the same ........

I had a background check last year at an FFL that took 5 minutes.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for kayak fishing on Cayuga for lakers? Saw a video and it looked like a fun way to kill an afternoon. Never been there so any help would be appreciated or maybe direct me to the correct thread. Coming up from Binghamton. Thanks.
-
Has anybody bought the Habitat and Access stamp this year with your hunting license? My town clerk hasn't received any.
also, if you arent already: buy your license at the town clerk. Way friendlier and more knowledgeable than the goons behind the counter at your average Walmart.
-
My town hall also had not received stamps when I bought mine
-
Here I go again - I just can't help it but this is a subject that gets me hot. I think that every person who sets foot on public property should be required to purchase a habitat stamp. Why should NYS hunters and fishermen (and ladies) feel that they have to purchase a habitat stamp and foot the bill for everyone else? Take a ride into the Dacks, or the Catskills, and count the out of state plates. These people are all using "our" property scott free. No permits no stamps no nothing. When you see an out of stater slide his boat into a public launch who payed for it. How about the tree huggers down in the city who want to dictate how we live and when and where I can cut firewood. Do they own a habitat stamp? When you see trails being maintained who payed for it? Not Them.
Make it mandatory for all and I'll be the first one in line. With things the way they are, there is a dark place where they can put their Habitat stamp. Sorry, that's just the way I see it.
-
Absolutely right. All hikers and mountain bikers should be required to have one..
-
Sorry I made it sound like it's all the nonresidents. It's not. People in your own back yard are taking you for a ride. Just take a good look around and you'll start to boil also.
-
Sorry I made it sound like it's all the nonresidents. It's not. People in your own back yard are taking you for a ride. Just take a good look around and you'll start to boil also.
Correct.
Many non-residents buy fishing and hunting licenses, and snowmobile trail passes.
But you are correct, many people don't pay for the privilege of using our natural resources.
-
Habitat and access stamps aren't required for hunters and i don't agree with requiring them for others either.
All public land users SHOULD purchase one, definitely, but i don't think they should be compulsory.
Perhaps the state could start an initiative to advertise them to non-hunting demographics like hikers, kayakers, snowmobilers, and campers. Allow them to be sold in other venues like campgrounds and sporting goods stores and outfitters.
-
Ya maybe they will put up a little road side stand along the thru way for all the jersey folks.
-
Not hunting related, but same holds true in New Hampshire for kayaks and canoes
They use all lakes and river, parking lots and create disasters at ramps.
They use all the same resources from Fish & Game, Department of Safety, First Responders, etc.
I am all for charging them 10 per year per vessel
-
you guys are a bunch of whinny a-- old farts that are just looking for a reason to complain ..... if someone wants to hike or launch a kayak that don't hurt my feelings a bit if they are ny residence they pay taxes if out of state chances are new yorkers visit their state and use the faculities ....... things cost people to much as it is .................and people that work at wal mart are not goons and are very friendly .......they happen to be our neighbors and are tring to make a living...........shame on you people
-
I agree with Trap… my family visits, kayaks, hikes and fishes other states. I don’t have an issue with non-residents using our resources. As long as they follow the guidelines that we do.
There’s enough animosity and bullshit going on in our country. I don’t want to get on a family site and have to read this crap all over again.
-
What's a Habitat stamp cost? Is it any thing that the average person can't afford for all the benefits they receive? Sounds kinda like the welfare system- some people benefit, and some people have a sore back. Like it or not it is the truth.

yeah some family wants to walk down a trail or papple a kayak .....them dirty rats ....just think governor hochul could drop that money in the general fund and house more illegals :thumbup_smilie: ... your a whinner it's not a law making these stamps mandatory and your crying like some family having a picnic is stealing from you...... KP is right this bs is getting old and it's why this site is falling apart ........so if whinning makes ya happy go ahead .... look at the number of people here ....no one is listening any more...........

I’ll take duck hunting any day over B.S. End of story!!😎
-
KP you do know we will be BSing in the blind ;D
-
I never really thought about it until seeing it on here. It is not an issue with me, most of those that are using our lakes and trails, either live, work, pay taxes here OR come from other states, buy food, stay in a local business, etc. The bottom line if the state would want to make out of staters pay pretty sure we would be doing it also...h2l
-
KP you do know we will be BSing in the blind ;D
That’s different though!!😂
-
speaking the truth is not always popular
-
Let's get back on track here.
Moose season started here in Haines, AK on Friday. In most of the state they are open to non-residents but in this area it is a subsistence hunt open only to residents that must apply. Bulls only with spike/ forks, 50" wide or having 3 brow tines on one side; with a limit of 25 where the season ends. The check station is right here at headquarters where I stay on my days off and got to see this nice one yesterday. Talked to the hunter and he took his canoe across the river, it's wide and has many channels, to hunt; said he had to wait for the wind to die down before paddling back with all the meat, it gets big whitecaps.

I just got back from a Wyoming DIY public land archery elk hunt. What a blast!!!!
I had a great trip out there! I only shot 1 grouse but I was able to get a bull last Wednesday.
Evening 1 - I was able to locate a bull to chase the next morning.
Day 2 all day - I chased that bull all the way to his bed. I worked around the herd and got above them with good wind. I got in tight around 3PM and made some calls. More times then not a bull just picks up the herd and moves away, same thing here. Then I had a calf come running in at 15 yards. Then I tried shadowing the herd because they were moving slowly. I had let out some calf calls to try and get a pinpoint on the bull but he stopped responding. Next thing I know a small bull pops over the hill looking at me. I was able to noc an arrow and range him at 43. I only had a frontal so I passed on that. I moved down the ridge a bit and had another smaller bull come walking broadside. He was going to step out at 20 but the wind changed. Then it got dark.
Day 3 all day - same area but much quieter. I bumped 1 elk midday. I mostly tried to get between bedding areas and calf call to pull something out. There was 1 bull with cows in there. At 5 PM he moved them down the drainage away from me.
Day 4 Morning - New spot. I worked up a ridge for the first hour and I was going to try calling over a north face because it looked like good bedding on the map. I get almost there and a bull bugles to my left. I sit tight because I think he was headed my way. Then another bull bugles. They start screaming and I can hear the 2nd bull glunking. So I decide to push in close. He had 2 cows and was raking. I get the wind right and move in to about 60 yards while he is occupied. I should have just sat tight because he may have moved my way since the other bull was pestering him but I decided to challenge him and of course he just pushed the cows up the ridge and went on screaming. Way too fast to keep up to though. Really awesome encounter like you dream of.
Day 4 Evening - I pick a new spot to call and listen for bugles. I get in to about 1/4 mile from where I want to stop to call and I bump an elk. I decided to sit tight and see what happens. Maybe 10 minutes later a bull bugles off the point where I wanted to go. Then 10 minutes later he bugles at about 100 yards. I let out a calf call. Then 1 minute later I catch him at about 60 yards going broadside and walking towards my wind. So I cast a calf call to my right into the wind. He turns on a dime and starts coming my way. He gets to 30 yards and I draw. Then he turns right at me. Before I have an opening to stop him he is at about 7 yards! So I put my pin
on his shoulder while he is walking and I release. I get a good hit. He turns and I send out a few calls and he stops at 20 on a hard quarter away. I send another arrow and it is another good hit. He goes maybe 10 more yards he stands for a few minutes and finally crashes!!!!!
I couldn’t believe that it all came together. I backed out and got my buddy. We got back before sunset. We quartered, deboned, hung the meat, and caped him out. We finished up at 1:30 AM.
We got a little rest and headed back in at 8 AM. It started to rain at 9. Then at noon it started to snow. We finished up the pack out at 2PM.

Any body ever try eating a beaver? I've got a colony started on my property which are starting to flood a hay field. Can't have that. They are going to have to go this fall. I know they have some nasty scent glands but don't know anything about them really.

No not really. when you think about it, we eat squirrels, woodchucks, racoons, rabbits. they're all rodents. I'll try most critters at least once.

I see what you did there Mac…

I've been to several sportsman's banquets and beaver was available although it was all gone by the time I got in line, Somebody liked it.
On a side note, I've killed a couple bears and that is nothing special.

Bear stew is good , bear meat is stringy
-
You're probably right filet. As I recall ,the stew was most likely what I would choose as the best of several different ways we tried it. I think I would do that again. The ground meat I thought was not good at all.
Back to the beaver. I was thinking about a slow cooker with a red wine bath ?
-
I never had it ground , now the red wine bath and slow cooker sounds good
-
Had an old guy near camp who wanted porcupine. So I decided to try one. Cooked it on the grill. Smelled good. Tasted good but tough. They need to go in the slow cooker.
-
My gramps hunted and trapped during the depression, and help feed many people
He once told me he tried skunk and said it wasn’t bad , said wood chuck was good
-
My father was a woodchuck hunter. He always took the younger ones. I don't remember what they tasted like, but I do know that mom liked it and she was a bit fussy about such things. I have to wonder, what's the worst critter that you guys have ever tried to eat. And I'm not talkin about Aunt Millies goulash that she always brought to the family picnic. I mean something that you killed and then wished you left it there!
-
I see what you did there Mac…

I bow hunted Friday morning and just saw a doe and a spike. Planned on going back out after lunch but sitting in my truck at 3pm swatting mosquitos and sweating i decided i had had enough for the day.
-
I had a pretty decent morning other than the fact that I saw nothing. I retuned for the afternoon sit a little closer to the alfalfa and got eaten up. I toughed it out and again saw nothing. I'm going fishing.
-
Got-em This deer was a little bit of retribution as I missed one on Friday eve which was a little better deer. That same buck showed again Saturday morning and offered no shot even though he was within 14 yards. He had me stewing! Then that evening this one made the fatal mistake at a different location. He is now all boned out and, in the cooler, where he will spend 3 or 4 days. Then all but the loins will be turned into sausage. I went back to take down my tree stand this afternoon and there was an eagle dining on the gut pile. I'm glad someone other than the coyotes benefited.

She was thrilled. The boy is my youngest. My oldest was home sick. I think the youngest is going to be the killer. They both seem interested though. Time will tell.

Nice buck 62. Congratulations.
reeleyz, congrats to your SIL...h2l

Got-em This deer was a little bit of retribution as I missed one on Friday eve which was a little better deer. That same buck showed again Saturday morning and offered no shot even though he was within 14 yards. He had me stewing! Then that evening this one made the fatal mistake at a different location. He is now all boned out and, in the cooler, where he will spend 3 or 4 days. Then all but the loins will be turned into sausage. I went back to take down my tree stand this afternoon and there was an eagle dining on the gut pile. I'm glad someone other than the coyotes benefited.

Thanks everybody. I absolutely live for this time of year. Now that the pressure is off, I have the entire rifle season to hunt the "dacks". YA!!
-
Nice job everyone!!

Another venison goes thru the Cabelas grinder. Made 32 lbs of loose sausage, another 6 of just ground meat for a big batch of chili, and the back straps got sliced up.
The next one will be stuffed into casings for sausage links. They're great over a fire or on the grill

-
Looks great, what kind of things are you doing with the loose sausage?
-
We use our imagination a lot. It makes great burgers. Breakfast patties, pizza, meatballs for spaghetti, Stuffed zucchini. The list goes on. Anything that can be done with Italian sweet sausage can be done with this. I still like a steak now and then, but the sausage has so many uses I only keep a few steaks.
I also like taking a precooked burger out onto the ice with me. It's wrapped in foil and I have a little heater to warm my lunch. MMM
-
Thanks for the ideas, now I just need to get a deer 😀
-
That looks good!
I made a queso dip with ground venison the other day and it was tasty.
So many options with ground meat.

Yes sir: There is only one rule- How creative do you want to be. We're freezing 8 qts of chili we made yesterday. Someday this week it's lasagna nite.
Venison sausage is a very simple project. Prepacked seasonings are available everywhere. We like Italian sweet sausage by Pilot Seasonings. I buy it direct but it's available in many outlets in I think 12 oz pks.
My formula is: 10 lbs lean venision to 2 lbs clean Pork fat from the local butcher. (not beef) Cube it up so that it mixes well in your grinder. Get a little frost in it and it grinds much better. A full pilot pkg is labeled for 25 lbs of pork but I will put 3 times my formula together per pkg and it is delicious.
If the plan is to stuff weiners then add 1 cup ice water to each 10 & 2 batch. This aides in allowing you to make a nice uniform weiner as it slides thru your stuffer as well as the casing with ease.
Note: my cabelas grinder pushes the product out too fast really to make a nice looking weiner as it is tough to control, I bought an independent sausage stuffer which is nothing more than a canister and plunger with a hand crank and different diameter tubes to choose from. It's actually fun to do. Casings are available in a salted pkg at your grocer.
Get busy and start acting like a butcher. You'll have fun doing it.

Was way too hot to hunt yesterday. Spent the whole day on a mountain with crunchy leaves underfoot. A kill would have meant a murderous drag out . Saw one early that I couldn't identify but that was it. Sweet November is only a cold front away. ;D
-
Perfect timing for this cold front. It should be game on. It’s time to get serious!!!

Between the full moon and the cold front i had really high hopes for deer movement yesterday. I hoped the unusual NE wind would be in my favor, but that didn't play out like I had hoped.
The only deer I saw moving on its own was a spike and he was just milling around feeding.
-
The only thing I have learned for a sure bet is the fact that every rule is meant to be broken. They were moving someplace. (at least that is what I tell myself) They just didn't happen to come by me.
-
I woke up to a buck grunting and deer running around 2 am Sunday morning not far from the bedroom window..
Went out before dawn and did everything I could but didn’t see a thing.

Hi guys Was in the woods today and found the mother load of these. Are they Oysters? I had nothing with me to carry any out but was not sure anyway. Sure wish I new for sure. Thanks

The bucks are on the move!
My uncle shot an 8pt running does yesterday morning around 7:30 and the buck continued to chase after he was hit. An hour later on the other end of the same property (in 6K) I shot another 8pt out cruising. It was a long morning hauling both bucks out.

Congrats on a very successful day!

Congrats TF!

Great day TF A fun ride home for sure

Thanks!
Here is a pic. My buck is on the cart, and my uncles is in the truck. We don't remember ever having two of us (6 or 7 of us in the family) shoot bucks the same morning. We've had multiple does or a buck and a doe, but never two bucks that we can think of.

Last night screwed up didn't dress warm enough got out of stand early went to start walking in and there were 2 big deer that winded me and walked off ...then just about dark saw something very dark working its way through...was a big porcupine didn't shoot it but today researched them and say there good eating so tonight if i see it gonna try and wack it ...my taxidermist said I can bring it by and skin it and I can have the carcass and he'll mount it
-
Interesting. Never even thought about eating a porky. We have plenty of them around here.
-
Must do it in a slow cooker. If not it will be chewy. Good taste.
-
First day on the job. I needed a diversion from raking leaves and climbing adk hills so I set a couple traps. Now I'm going to try Beaver in the slow cooker.

Way to go. Nice buck. I took the loins from my beaver and after chilling a bit, sliced it thin to fry up as you would bacon. Results were very tasty. Not at all disappointed. Next, we will brine soak a hind quarter over nite and put him in the crock pot. The wife has found a few interesting recipes.

To all you guys and gals waiting for Saturday : good luck, take the rain gear

I'll be out Saturday because it's a family tradition. I'll be the tracker, gutter, and dragger. I have not missed an opening day since I was 11 (1987)!

Great day of viewing yesterday. At 4:15 the big winner came back with a harem of seven mature does. No sign of the other bucks. Did not see the seven does before yesterday. Now is the time to whack one. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

The golf course owner’s son got this ons last week with a bow.
(https://i.postimg.cc/y3d6Tbjz/IMG-2507.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/y3d6Tbjz)
It strolled across the fairway as golfers were teeing off from an elevated tee. They actually hit balls over it.
-
Is that considered a "hole -in-one"? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
A hole in that one anyway.
-
That's a brute very nice
-
Yeah, he had a good day.
My neighbor got a really big doe Saturday. Then the day turned sour. 2 flat tires on his atv trailer on the way home. Had to park his trailer in some kind farmer’s driveway and rescue it the next day.
I have a hard time listening to the deer stories, Remnants from working in the gun shop I guess. But, he’s a good guy and doesn’t have too many people to tell them to. So, we listen.

Definitely a giant buck good for him I hear lots of stories about huge bucks on golf courses

Due to some stupid heart and lung problems my hunting time is nil. Thanks to the generosity of friends,two deer were given to us. Had my 10 year old helper come down. He has been helping me for 6 years now. He skinned his first deer by himself last year. He did both today. We took a break and cooked some venison over the fire we had to keep warm. After the break, I watched as he boned the meat as they were hanging. I can rest comfortly knowing he will carry on when I'm gone. He says "This is satisfying" I love it.

I never knew that greensider I bought mine in 73 not knowing it's origin. My wife's rifle came along much later but according to Winchester, It was made around the same time period. They were both sent in for an old recall part and I had the manufacture date checked. Those old Wins were built to last.

He is at 3 years old here. I was out hanging a deer with a buddy when he came out dressed like this and said "I'm a hunter too Papa"
He is also an accomplished sausage maker too. He keeps me young.

Got my hands on this little gem a couple days ago - had it given to me. It's a Mansfield 12 & 1/2' fiberglass over Mahogany ribs. Barely weighs 50 lbs. She's in really nice shape except the gunnels and end caps need replacing. That will make a neat little project during the cold nasty weather. I'm now waiting for a break in the wind so I can slide it into the water for a maiden voyage before ice sets in. I'll use it to do a little research on some small waters for future ice fishing days and maybe even target a brook trout which I haven't done in years. It'll also be a fun little toy when we go camping. Now I just have to learn to fly fish while sitting down. HA!!!

Bought the 15’ Mansfield when I lived in Stowe. Great stable fishing platform. I changed the gunnels and end caps once too. Used Cherry for the caps and friend had cut an ash tree and milled me some long boards for the gunnels. Good luck with the project
-
That looks awesome greensider!
-
Nice idea green sider, looks great.
-
Look great Greensider. Amazing that you have saved that many. My boys saved their first bucks they shot...i have never saved any...I think i am not normal when it comes to that!! LOL

I too am using ash My younger brother got most of the woodworking talent in the family. He has a barn full of all kinds of wood to work with as he is quite the craftsman. He cut all the boards yesterday now I have the puzzle to put together.
-
Greensider that's a great idea. Mine are all nailed to the top 1 1/2 feet of wall space all around my garage. I don't know who is going to deal with all this stuff when my time is up. God help him!
-
I have all but one that a fox stole on me lol also we definitely leave a lot of crap for others to deal with my grandson said he wants the house as it is so it's going to be his lock stock and barrel lol
-
My wife and I just received a "Lock Stock and Barrel" from her folks. I hope he knows what he is in for. :cursing: :cookoo:
-
i gave all my heads and horns to the grand kids ........i have my wood duck left flying over my desk lol
-
Any time you want, you can look up and visualize that day. You can remember the shot and that duck crashing into the water. That's what it's all about Trapp.
This is a pic from my last morning deer hunting. A little skim ice was all I found in southern Hamilton Co. Thought there would be more.

-
i personally don't need horns to remember a good hunt any more rather see my grandkids getting excited about getting out there ......in fact i don't even care if i shoot a deer anymore ....doesn't mean as much as it did before .....but going is what counts ..... i like calling in turkeys but i i don't shoot them ( i'm not a fan of etting them)....i did have alot of fun duck hunting this year first time i went in a few years ....... all and all was a good hunting season for me .....soon we'll be on the ice until then i'll chase fish in the open water ;D

Got this yesterday morning at about 10:45, I knew yesterday was my last hunt of the year when I left the house....h2l
-
Way to stick it out H2L!!! Nice buck.
-
Congratulations H2L.. Hunting 2 long pays off..✌️✌️👍👍
Dom.

I had another little one get hit last night out front.. Second one this year. They have to stop using the deer crossing sign and cross somewhere else. 😎😎

Seems common this time of year. I had a fawn get hit on my road yesterday.
-
Had 9 deer go through brush and walk across a field a little to far for a comfortable shot with my shotgun....easy shot with rifle..I'll have one next year!
-
Dom , I'd say nothing wrong with roadkill but that looks a little bloated.
-
Congrats on the buck H2L
-
greensider , that's a beautiful collection.
-
H2l nice buck.

Good going H2l

That is going to be some fine eating. Good job HTL.

Thought some of you might find this interesting. This is a picture of "Scuffy". She was a doe that showed up for 9 winters at my nephew's. She was not there last year. She was a small doe that we "never" saw her with young. Not sure if she ever had fawns. I saw her 2 or 3 times while I was hunting but always late in the season....h2l
-
My brother usually has about a dozen under his "bird" feeder near Gloversville. Not sure if he has ever kept track of one individual. Will have to ask.

My wife's cousins in Conway SC have a doe that has been in the neighborhood for 18 years. Darla comes when called and when she has had fawns she doesn't bring them with her. It's crazy and in a rural area where you'd think she would get shot but she sticks around and sleeps on people front porches. And they know how long because she was abandoned by her mom and they bottle fed her but left her outside to roam free but she obviously imprinted on them as family and pops in often.
-
Nice Mcully
-
mcully, congrats on the deer. 18 years is a long time for a deer....h2l
-
Wouldn't believe it if I haven't heard about this deer forever and hadn't met her on several trips along with the pictures. One of the boys tells a story of hunting behind the house and having a doe come into the bait pile, which is legal in SC, and he actually called her name out to see if the doe lifted her head and would come to him. It obviously wasn't Darla and he laughs telling us how fast that doe tore out of there.
-
Great job Mcully. That is a long nosed doe.
I was out with the ML yesterday and saw nothing but snowflakes. It was a perfect night though.
-
Good for you Mcully I love that late season bowhunting

they were working ,road side, picking up
the Crap that low-lives ,throw out,

Few weeks ago just up road off a trail was a 💩 ton of garbage dumped , I made the call an officer showed up and 2 days later it was all cleaned up , I got a follow up call to make sure I was aware it had been taken care of
another time a logger cut trees on my property the officer , the forester , and the DA handled that with a favorable outcome
👍
Personally I don’t mind seeing them when out fishing as they are doing their job
Last time when boat checked we had a nice visit with a pair of officers
-
I too have many favorable meetings with the DEC.
On another note, good luck smoke pole hunters. Last weekend until after Christmas. I'm ready

The deer take has been heavy on the bucks lately. It doesn’t seem to matter how many doe tags the DEC hands out.
I am hoping to get my mom out once for the Holiday hunt.
-
Yup. I take all the doe I'm allowed or button buck
I'm in it for the meat and the bones for dogs...nothing tonight but will be out tomorrow and Tuesday then 26th-1st

Has anyone heard the news that starting in 2024 , your license and tags will be printed on regular white paper instead of the laminated paper they used to use ?
-
I read something about this week. They say it will save $$$....h2l
-
Maybe....had a trailer inspected yesterday and sticker was printed on plain white paper
-
Why are you still getting trailer inspected registering Maine no inspection and way way cheaper than ny
-
Everything is Way cheaper than ny...
-
My boat trailer was 115 with the plate for 5 years no inspection small utility was 75 for 5 years
-
My 20 ' 5000# trailer was 54$ reg a year and 16$ yearly inspection
-
Boat trailer and small utility trailer the same each
-
Depends on weight capacity I have 2 different sizes of utility trailers and a boat trailer larger utility and boat are a little more than small utility
-
Yes different prices for different type/max weight of trailers
-
Went to Greater Niagara fishing expo yesterday...got the boat fishing bug really kicking.... They had some beautiful boats there rigged nicely...but don't want another mortgage...jeez...did find a good price on Sting nose Minnows got some 3/8,1/2 and 3/4 Oz..love these things...highlight of trip is went to Polish Villa for dinner...food is fantastic there ...another thing that got my boat blood going is Tony from Buffalo called ( he fixes trolling motors and electric riggers) said my older cannons are all rebuilt and ready to go...picking them up next week and get back on boat ready to go
Ben
-
I'm glad to hear Tony is still in business. He repaired my Terrova several years ago under warranty. I tried to but a screw for an old Shakespeare President casting reel. He wouldn't sell one, but he gave me an envelope with a half dozen of them. No charge. Good guy,
-
Yes he’s a great gu for sure!

don't shoot turkeys anymore but we still love calling them .... ^5 to the young hunters that got birds and those that tried .....i found sheds in the past none this year i think thats cool finding them
-
As much fun as they are to hunt, I had to give up on turkeys. No amount of bug repellant and/or clothing treatment in the world is enough to keep those Darned ticks at bay. I just can't stand them anymore. I've already had one buried on me this spring by just doing some yard work. Best of luck to all those who go and hunt safe.

Trapper, I'm just curious, why did you stop shooting turkeys? Do you not care for eating them?
-
Turkeys are much more fun to hunt than eat. Just my 2 cents.
-
Nice haul Mcully!
I made a smoked wild turkey chili the other day and it was good.
-
Trapper, I'm just curious, why did you stop shooting turkeys? Do you not care for eating them?
i don't care for eatting them and i have no one to give them too ...i like calling them just no reason to shoot one lol but i wish you all luck!!!
-

I understand. I have learned not to cook the whole bird at once, otherwise I end up with too much left over, dried out turkey. And I can clean one almost as quickly as a "slime log". My GF has some wonderful recipes. But I agree, the hunting is the most fun part!

I was listening to a meateater podcast about cooking wild turkey. The biggest mistake people made was cooking it whole.

That's nonsense. I've cooked every wild bird I've gotten whole, skin on. Never had dry meat. Never brined one either unless I was doing a smoked bird. Most people over cook them. It's not a domestic bird from the store, they don't have to be taken to the same internal temp as a domestic bird.

It sounds like you've got it dialed. I don't think their reasoning for not cooking the bird whole had anything to do with the bird being dry. I have never tried cooking one whole myself.
Personally I break a bird down into 4 packages and keep the legs, thighs, wings, neck, and breasts. Then I can use it throughout the year and cook it different ways.
-
only way i ever enjoyed them at all was cut up in chunks and deep fried ....me personally i'm not going to shoot a nice bird for some chicken nuggets .... i have tried them every way under the sun and been hunting them many years .... i just don't care for them ....give me a pheasant ,i know theres a lot of expert chefs that can cook them perfect and every mouth waters and screams for more ,God bless you i can't and tired of wasting good birds trying ...... how ever i really like calling them in and watching a tom strut ...... i hope the rest of you guys do great fill them tags and enjoy dinner ,side note i like eatting trout and most guys think they suck
-
oh i did have turkey soup and that was good
-
kabobs about best I've had them
We have so many coyotes they hardly gobble anymore so not much fun chasing them. Grandson and I were out looking for sheds for 4 hours Sunday and never heard one but saw half a dozen.
-
i haven't seen where coyotes get many but the fisher pound on them pretty good they go up trees and get them roosting
