I no longer have anyone hunting W/me on my 94 acre farm & I do not have the financial resources to develope this high potential hunting property. The hay has just been cut & it's time ot start planning food plots. The property is a natural funnel connecting several large tracts. It is teeming W/Whitetail deer, turkeys & grouse. Anyone that would be interested in a free lease for themselves & 1 other hunter,( preferably a youngster or elderrly hunter) PM me.

Culling free range deer is like peeing into the wind. Cull is a term free range hunters use to kill deer with a rationalization that makes them sleep better at night for shooting a young deer before they would otherwise do so. Nothing wrong with shooting a young deer at all. Just own it and dont hide behind genetics, or some other made up excuse to not make you feel bad about it in front of other people. If he trips your trigger, thats all that matters.

Nobody will answer your question because none of what your saying is making any sense log onto :http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/6403.html it will answer all your DMP questions

Other peoples opinion of what you decide to put on your tags.

Had venison dogs made with cheese and Jalapenos on Thursday after hockey. Grilled in the parking lot, tailgating with some buds. Oh yes there were plenty of cold ones We do this 2-3 times during the summer. There are about 5-6 guys I play hockey with that are hunters so the stories never end! Great bunch of guys all 50+ years old and still kicking butt on the ice! Had the dogs made at Bond's in Springville, they are great!

If you are looking to have Amish build...it's not too difficult to check them out...IF...it is like here...one barn goes up and in a matter of just a couple of years they are up all over the place...just go look at some of the work they have done...talk to owners...ppl love talking about their new Amish barns...

Logged on yesterday and no problem .... obtained my DMP also !

I have two of them. One on 50 cal. and one on 308 lever. I agree that you can get on target faster. My eyes are not as sharp as when I was younger and that circle helps alot. I have had mine for several years with no problems.

This is absolutely false. I am very close friends with several amish families and one I work with every day. There is a big misunderstanding between what the "english" people think and the reality of the regulations and taxes. I hear it all the time Amish dont pay taxes, amish dont need building permits. Indeed they pay the same taxes we do minus one thing, school tax and that is it. As far as building permits they have to apply to the same regulations as we do. The metal shop I weld at just about every day is an amish run business. Currently there is an addition going on there house, the inspector has been there every step of the way and his permit was applied and approved as well. In this county however if it is an ag building there is no permit required whether your amish or english. Now if its your land and your camp its also your responsibility to get the permit if you hire the amish to build it. Your hiring a builder not a contractor to do all the leg work for you. If you hire them tell them you want a solid structure that will last forever and unless you got a shabby amish guy he will do as you ask. Amish are like us in the respect that there are good apples and then there are bad apples. Just like hiring and english builder go look at there work first, just dont go by pricing alone.

The best hornet hunters I know, always shoot a WASP!

I had some in my attic that the exterminator didn't kill . He was leaving for the weekend and left me to take care of the problem . I had to do something as the siding crew was working on the house . I had a couple cans of Flea Bombs in the cupboard . I duct taped one to an extension pole , popped the button and pushed it in the corner by the nest . The next day there was just a few of them flying so late that afternoon , I went back to the attic ,pulled the insulation back with the pole and used the other can . No more bees . Depending on your shed size , the flea bombs might work .

No its venison shank in a crock pot with onions.

Wonderful scope...I have two of them and bought both of them used but in excellent conditon at gun shows for less than $150 apiece. Most any 2.5 or 3X would be fine..Look for one with lots of eye relief and field of view.

the more important thing isn't what it is zeroed at, it is knowing where your gun shoots at all possible distances you will be shooting. It makes no difference if you sight your gun in at 50, 100, 300, whatever. To each their own. You are going to get a different opinion from everyone you ask. Just know where it hits at all those distances and you will be succesful.

the first picture posted with a crossbow and nice buck will get a few pages deep i imagine

To add to what Phade so eloquently said; there is no such thing as a cull buck unless you are hunting behind a fence. Consider these facts (some have already been mentioned) * It is impossible to predict what a mature buck's antlers will look like based on his 1st or 2nd sets of antlers (a study was performed in Texas where they trapped and tagged spikes vs. 8 pt yearlings that showed no significant difference in B+C score at maturity, "once a spike, always a spike" is total BS) * Most if not all yearling bucks disperse to new ranges other than where they were born (Mother Nature's anti-inbreeding defense plan), so that means that buck fawns born on your land will be someone else's mature bucks and vice versa. * Does contribute 50% of the genes to the fawns (I always wonder if I am killing the mother of a future B+C buck every time I shoot a doe). * The heritability of antler genetics are poorly understood, even by deer breeders. (It is unknown if lack of brow tines is a simple dominant/recessive gene or is influenced by multiple alleles.)

I didn't feel like reading all 8 pages, but Chief- I disagree with the statement about the master baiters having a dozen wall hangers. I think it is more likely that the master baiters are the same ones that shoot the 1st spike (or multiple on their family member's tags) and then complain that there aren't any big bucks around. Doubtful they have even one legitimate wall hanger although I do believe that any hunter regardless of ability will get a random dumb luck chance at a monster one time by accident in their hunting career.

transition areas between fields are good spots, you just want to be careful they're not bedding areas and they probably are. I would recommend hunting the edge of them. if you disturb their beds they'll start shacking up elsewhere. Deer need a spot where there is no pressure and a lot of hunters dont realize this and put stands all over their property. Hunt the transition zones between food and bed.

food? And taint our breath? No no! Especially this day in age with scent eliminating gum, pit stick and toothpaste. I give it 5 years and we'll be seeing scent eliminating enemas & lotion! HAHA!!! I don't carry food, but sometimes I raid the candy dish for the blue raspberry jolly ranchers on my way out the door! Sent from my SCH-S720C using Tapatalk 2

For myself being that i like to hunt mature animals i would set up back off the fields in their staging area. A mature deer will not walk out willy-nilly into the field much before dark. Most times anyways! But he will stay back a safe distance off the field untill sunset. If you have no preference on the animals you harvest then you could set up along the logging road or the corn fields edge. If you can get a camera up to show you what kind of honey hole you found that would help you a bit. Either way, enjoy your new treasure as good farm land is getting harder to find every day!

Marlin 336 in 30-30 Uberti Yellowboy 1866 in .45 LC Browning Lightning BLR in .243 Winchester 9422 in .22 LR I live for my lever guns!

Still shooting my Winchester #94 30-30 I bought 40 plus years ago ! I have other guns but its my Go-To gun !

I would love to use the bucket truck.for a tree stands out goes up 47 feet and is pretty quite going up and down

Had this last week. Wild turkey( the monarch bird I've been hunting for years) rubbed with Bearman dry rub, was marinated in oj and Italian dressing then wrapped in bacon over pecan chips on the smoker. Nice Belgian beer to go with it

I have a big pack as I always have what most of the guys said, plus being a older hunter got to have extra sweater or jacket to keep me warm if I am sitting all day. I try to walk in without a lot of the heavy togs on so I do not sweat up. I also have a small fm radio in the pack to use during those mid day times during the bow season, and it has a ear plug so it makes zero noise. I have shot two deer with it on as I had a 50's rock and roll station on...
