  1. On early wednesday morning I got a call to run a loader in Buffalo. I had to drive it there from Rochester. A 4 hour ride. I got a new perspective on people. 4 loaders were working opening up huge apartment complexes. The people were so glad to see us.One thing that was never mentioned, There was nothing open. For All Wednesday and Thrursday we had no food, On Thursday we couldn't find any Diesel fuel we had to drive the loaders 12 miles to... a station that had just enough to fill us. We were working 18 hours on 6 off, sleeping in a furnished apartment .The first 2 days all we did was make openings so emergency vehicles could get in. On thursday we started helping getting the cars out. It was amazing I would pull into a lot and 40 or 50 people would emerge, All with shovels, They all came together to help each other out. Every time a car was freed they would cheer and high 5s all around.Elderly people were shuttling coffee and beer to the younger workers.It became a party. There were 18 lots in this complex I was assigned to. We finished up late last night, Got a hotel room ,Slept 6 hours and started the long ride home, Home never looked so good. It is now Tuesday night, I'm all rested up and ready to be in the woods at daybreak. Hard hunting till the end.

  3. I spent last week hunting in the Duck Mountains of Manitoba. My first ever out of state hunt. Talk about remote! I'd get dropped off before daylight and picked up at dark. You can hunt the 30 minutes before sunrise and the 30 minutes after sunset there....wish we could here. I saw 15 deer all week. 2 were big enough to shoot, but they were in very heavy brush 200 yards out, and only there for a couple of seconds. I passed on a small 8 at 30 yards, and a couple 4 pointers. I did see a couple bull moose, an eagle eating a rabbit it had just killed, and a weasel. While I didn't shoot a big buck, I did have the time of my life! I got home at 2:30 Sunday morning. I headed out at 1:30 to my blind on the farm here and shot this 9 pointer at 3:00! He had his nose to the ground in the cut corn field at 250 yards. I figured he'd work his way up to my plot since that's where all the does head, but he disappeared into a treeline. He was gone about 10 minutes and I was debating whether I should climb down and go look for him, when he popped out at 50 yards.

  6. Well I guesss there are miracles. I had to work the night before gun so I put everything in the car and went to work. Got out at 6 and headed to my spot. After changing and walking to a ground blind i built last winter and settling in I said a little prayer and asked for blade to walk by. 10 min later he did. I dont know what else to say but thankyou Lord. Ask and you shall receive.

  10. This is why I'm proud to be from Buffalo. No rioting or looting when things get bad. Everyone bands together to help each other out. Back when I was working as an EMT in Buffalo I remember getting the ambulance stuck in the snow on a side street. We were in a real bad neighborhood. Out of nowhere five young men descended on the ambulance. I thought they wanted the drugs on board. Turns out they all had shovels and helped dig out the ambulance and dug us a path to get to the call location. I love this city. Thank you for helping us out. We couldn't have done it without people like you.

  19. WNYBuckhunter posted his deer heart fajita recipe last year on the forum and I tried it.. It's so good you'll want to SLAP yo MOMMA !! Previously I had sliced it, floured it and fried it in butter and I love it that way too... My Mom did it a different way..Simmered it in water with salt, pepper and bay leaf until done, then cooled it in it's own brine.. When cold, slice it thin and make sandwiches with mayonaise and coarse black pepper... Since NY season opens prior to PA season, I have often taken a deer heart sandwich or two for my lunch to eat in the woods opening day of PA rifle season..YUM !!

  20. Most of the time I slice it thin, and throw in some onions, red and green peppers, a dab of olive oil and my home made fajita seasoning, then put it in tortillas.

  23. You can tell alot from rubs, some of it is subjective and people diasgree, but I think you can get an idea of what made what. I don't see alot of shredding of the fiber, which doesn't always rule out, but shredding often indicates pearling, which is associated with older class bucks. Some bucks just don't get the pearling high up into their racks, so it's not 100%, but when you see shredding of a decent sized tree, generally you can equate that to a 3.5 or older as a baseline. Rubs made on small multiple brush-like vegetation have almost always indicated an older buck. I really am not sure why in all honesty, but you see this often in marsh land or brushlots, or areas with lots of pricker vegetation. Looking for tine marks up high or on limbrs, trees behind the rub itself can give you an idea on rack size. Obviously you can make up some travel indications and when (am/pm) movements at times.

  28. myth. I have let a deer hang for a couple days to cure it and I have taken deer in warm weather in the morning and had it in the freezer in the afternoon. No difference in taste

  29. I did that this round. I can't comment as to any difference in the end result since this was my first one, but I can say the fragrant mixture of boiling deer brain and citrus palmolive in the garage for two days earned me quite a tongue-lashing form the Mrs.

  30. I didn't say I didn't like the photo... it's actually pretty cool... I'm smart enough to know how big an animal is when someone takes that kind of photo... in this case I was making the point that he took the pic that way to deceive people into believing the coyote was a wolf... other than that.. how someone chooses to take their photos to preserve their hunting (or trapping) experience is up to them and doesn't affect me at all. I can enjoy the photo no matter how far or how close the hunter is from the animal... if a hunter wants to make his 6-point look bigger... God Bless him... its his photo not mine. I'll still know it's a small 6-point. I find it more annoying that how someone chooses to take their OWN photo bothers others... it's not your pic... what do you care? Not intended, before or now, as a flame it just doesn't make sense to me why it bothers people so much thats all.

  34. 11/26: I left work at 2:30pm and it was just raining in New York City. Got home in Westchester around 330pm to a few inches on the ground. Decided to make the trek to up to my Parents house in Putnam County 3N so I can hunt tomorrow. Gotta love All wheel drive, worked great and breezed up the Taconic. About 5" here already and another 3-5" coming and ending around 1-2am. Hoping tomorrow is the day a bigger buck makes a mistake. I will be hunting till 10am. Got a few more pics off my Dads camera, including the blood from the day he shot it which was completely gone by the next day because of the heavy rain. Now I definitely feel confident this is the same deer we have a few from all summer and as recently as a few weeks ago Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  35. I'm so bad trying to score a rack by looking at a picture. It's so much easier when you have the rack in your hands......... 36 D ?

  36. So I got my bags in the mail, and packaged up my deer in them. They are great. Only thing missing is the little lines that I usually use to measure them. Not a big deal though. Culver, if you want to try them in your sealer, let me know.

  38. There is the Alabama swamps about 45 minutes north of buffalo. It's a very large track of land that will take some scouting to locate a good spot. There is also the heartland swamps I believe up towards barker in niagara county lots of deer up that way. Darien lake I know you need to fill out a release form prior to hunting at the ranger station. Your best bet is to knock doors in the off season lots and lots of farms to hunt in Clarence and niagara county. For bear your best bet is to head south out of erie county Welcome to the site btw

  40. my goodness, why would anyone have a user name that can be linked back to a website that has the name of their business and the names of their wife and kids along with their address on it? I could see if it was for the furtherance of the business as one thing, but for the purpose of going on a website where you may possibly engage in conversation with strangers is beyond me.........just a thought.
