  2. Thanks to some member advice regarding the use of deer decoys, I successfully harvested this buck this afternoon who showed up to fight my buck decoy. He came in sideways ready to bust it up but never made it. Cake shot at 15 yards dressed 165. Very happy and thanks to the forum members !!

  3. I get to my stand this morning and I can't find my Bushnell cam. It's missing. My brother in law did not move it. To top it off its private land. If I find you I will cut your nuts off and hang you upside down from the tree.

  7. The blind was built for a very good friend of mine that had MS. At that time he was wheel chair bound, But still loved being out hunting. The blind is only 600 yds behind the house so getting him in there was not a big deal.He was an avid outdoorsman right up to when he passed away this July. We always hunted and fished together .Every time I go near this a flood of memories come to me .He is missed

  8. Just wanted to say thanks for allowing me to register on this forum and surprised I had not found this site earlier. I have been previously on Chucks message boards for the past 5 years due to the fact I had primarily hunted with my Savage MLII smokeless muzzleloader until Cayuga County adopted the rifle season. The ever elusive whitetail is my passion and when I started bow hunting again it got even worse ---according to the wife. I hunt mostly in Cayuga County and hunt pretty much 90 % of the season from bow to late muzzleloader. I have read thru a lot the posts and it seems like a great group of guys. So thanks once again and hope to post a pict of the one that Ive been after for awhile now.

  14. I would think that just refunding the money would be a better idea than having any type of bad publicity spread about your business, whether or not it's true...........if just 5 people a year decide not to use you because of the negative reports, you're gonna be out a little more than the 2g's.

  15. Most who post on here from my experience are more in the southern part of the state where hunting is entirely different than us northern hunters. I see it differently and I hunt near the Gouverneur area. I have woods I have swamps and I have fields. The bog difference is we do not have the deer, and patterns here are different. I am lucky if I get a dmp every 5 years as they are very restricted. The activity here seems to generally be about 10 days to 2 weeks behind what almost everyone on here sees. But again the deer population makes a huge difference. Hell if I see 8 to 10 deer in a season, I am doing well. I have ample food cover water and arrangement, I just do not have the deer. Hence we have to also hunt differently. to be successful. The tough part is getting guys with 2 or 3 dmps and chances at extras in November to understand how hunting here is. They are way to used ot seeing a lot of sign and activity. If most hunted where we are, they would give up after a week of seeing maybe one or two deer in that week. I have had the past two weeks off and I hunted every day but yesterday and have seen 5 deer in 2 weeks. It is entirely different here for sure.

  25. LOL! If you get a moment go back and read what I posted on October 10th when you asked board members for advice about hunting swamps. See if what you just posted about where you are finding the "rubs", "safe" area, buck activity, isn't almost word for word what I said. The little bushy transition areas or "intersection" you call it, is what I was describing to you. I have always found them to be hot spots. I guess you can't bow hunt the same area for 38 years, many of them almost every day of the season, without learning things even on accident. LOL! Good luck closing the deal now.

  29. Ok I smell a rat here. These two are working together to get the word out about this guy. Suddenly after a complaint post this guy appears and pushes his business. Seems way too fishy to me. How did the guy know someone was dissing him? Take it all with a big grain of salt.

  30. Yes, that was what I was referring to, the Adirondacks. As I watch the site, it seems as though most people posting are seeing the same type of activity. However up here, it seems like it doesn't happen until much later. Usually I begin seeing more activity when the temps drop below the 50s. I read everyone's posts and catch myself getting excited. I have to remind myself, wait, not just time yet! I appreciate the support. That is what I was looking for. After hunting several years without shooting a buck, I'm just looking to be reminded that I'm not alone up in these woods. Of course here, you're always so very alone

  32. I finally did it! Lots of trial and error over the years! He isn't a huge buck, but I'm pretty happy. He came in around 5:00, fussed around on a scrape, and I took a broad side shot at 25 yards and missed clean, arrow sticking out of the dirt. Sitting there mad about it, 5 minutes later he came back through, and went back to his scrape, with the jitters out of me by then, I got a clean pass through slightly quartered away at 20 yards, he ran approx 100 yards. Rage Chisel tips did their job flawlessly! Had him cleaned out just by dark! I don't know why my pctures are upside down!

  37. I have no issue with those kinds of hunts, unless its being passed off as a deer you shot wild. If someone wants to drop 3000 on a pen deer then that great, go nuts.

  38. You are right on about that! I had a friend who once worked in the deli department at a grocery store. She told me that the ham salad was made by all the leftover ends of the hams. The ham pieces would sit in a bucket until there was enough to make the salad. She said many times the pieces of ham were so old they were covered with a green sheen. She said that after grinding they would mix a packet of red colored Kool-Aid so as to give it a pink, fresh appearance. I have NEVER eaten ham salad or any kind of meat salad from the deli ever since she told me that story and that's been a lot of years ago.

  43. Sounds like you are jumping to conclusions here, and alot of them. How do you know what the situation was that led to the arrow in the deer? You cant, so to say theres no sportsmanship in the situation, or that it was dumb kids, or anything but the fact that the deer has an arrow in it, is pure assumption. Deer travel miles sometimes, especially bucks at this time of the year, so theres nothing to say this happened anywhere near your home. As has been said, call the DEC, they will take care of it.

  46. No law against carrying a loaded gun on the road. It is illegal to hunt from the road or to shoot from or across the road, but to my knowledge there is no law prohibiting BEING in or on the road with a loaded firearm. The dude is perfectly within his rights to walk down the road with a loaded gun to protect himself from pumacougars, catamounts, hobgoblins, werewolves, zombies, or deranged Mongolian Jughumpers as long as he is not HUNTING or firing the gun FROM or ACROSS the road.
