When you have a deer on top of your car and you pass a mini van loaded up with a family and they all give you the finger, including the 5 year old.

...when you use your girlfriends tampons for scent wicks.

you know your a hunter when you have a 24 hour period like this..... 1. all your thinking about is deer season while riding on the train home from grand central 2. and then driving home from the train station your behind someone the whole way who then pulls into their driveway and there are a bunch of deer on the side of his house and looks like a ton of acreage. 3. The next morning at the train station, you're figuring out how to ask that guy for permission to hunt his land without being creepy when saying you followed him home and noticed the deer on his property and then used google maps to look at his land. lol

you spend your time reading the "live frm the stand" thread while on conference calls

Everyone see this beast? From the article: Original Article: http://thebatavian.c...oint-buck/28705

I am writing this topic just to let hunters and outdoors people know that dont take for gratited the time in the outdoors.I work 65 to 80 hrs a week I hunt maybe 2 times aweek.Having sundays and a qiuck spot during the week to get out.Everyone knows how important time out in the woods should be.every tree ,bush,animal,I take the time to enjoy every moment given to me these days plus I am no young gun blazing around the woods anymore passing this great time onto my son now days.So take it all in if your young learn as much as you can now.If your middle of the road share what you learned savor the moments for great memories and most of all take to heart every single second your here to do it.After all your here one time.

Heres my fox from a couple of years ago. Im planning on doing something better with the base over the winter.

Actually happened to me

I just got the official word that we are now ALL related. Growalot just signed the papers and adopted all us boys. She will ring the cowbell when dinner is ready and we will all get a chance to finally meet!

Thank God zone 4O is finally getting AR's. Maybe in a few years I will finally see something better than a basket 6pt.

Those year and a half old 90 lb spikes & 4 pointers are a little tough for me, I go for the 45 to 60lb 6 to 7 month olds. Now that's good eats

Very Good Idea!!!! hmmmm

When your watching verus nail some huge bucks,while you got your gear outside hanging for the day,and your online talking to a bunch of hubters that cant sleep at night so we all will be on this websire untill 4am when were leaving for the woods lol....AAAAAAAA I CANT WAIT

One can only hope. I have a nice chalk outline already laid out next to my tree stand. He just needs to fall in it.

When you change your work schedule from 7am- 3:30 to 5:30am-2 so u have more of an evening hunt

All I can tell you is that we have tried and tried many times over to get the awful smell of sweaty hockey boys stink out of their under armour. Washed in everything from hunters detergent, even fabreezed them and scent away spray. One season and they go in the garbage. Being a maple producer I have read numerous studies on poly equipment and its effects on contamination of sap. Poly tanks are cheap in comparison to stainless steel for example. But poly absorbs odors, retains bacteria that is impossible to rid itself of due to its micro pores. Basically what a scientist that studies such things tells me the best chances of getting rid of such contamination is through autoclad machines just like hospitals use to steralize surgical equipment.

...you gripe about having to be up at 7 to be at work by 9 yet have no problem getting up at 4 to go hunting

When you eat red meat 4 or 5 days a week but can't remember the last time you had beef.

in westchester if you get a doe you can bring the head and they give you a either sex replacement tag

Nope, thats not what I'm pissed about, you will never get it though so I won't waste my time explaining it to you for the 100th time. I am actually more pissed that they are doing away with the either sex tag in my one area. There are no doe permits there already so why bother hunting there when I don't care to hunt the sought after bucks that you guys love. We have other places that are much better for that. And you will never see me or my family post pics on any internet boards to brag, its just not why we hunt. I know that is something that is lost on a guy like you.

I am right handed and was right eye dominant. When I was 23 I lost the use of my right eye, After alot of practice I mastered shooting left handed. Since then I have won many trophy bow shoots and harvested Deer whenever they get close enough. Remember you have to play the cards you are dealt. Things happen but life goes on.
