Out for a short hike yesterday when I found this little yearling surrendering to the harshness of winter. I'm sure this little deer was frightened out of it's mind by me, but near the end she just seemed to accept the fact that she was going to die and didn't fight it off any longer. Things got a little hairy when I crawled under the tree with her. The shot of her standing up in my face was the last shot I took before she put the hooves to me and decided to run through me instead of around me,lol

This deer was living in a no shoot zone near my home.

I was at my parents house for Xmas and came across a bunch of old hunting pics. These 4 pics are all from the Catskills. 1952 - my grandpas friends 11 pointer. The guy who shot this nice buck had 1 arm. 1963 - my grandpas 6 pointer 1976 - my Dads 8 pointer 1984 - my Dads 8 pointer (no brow tines) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As some of you read I lost my best friend (my dog) on 2/20......Life seems terribly empty without a dog by my side so I am hopeful a new addition will be just what the doctor ordered. He is only 5 weeks old so I can't have him until 3/28. I will never forget my boy Zimba but I am hoping for many new great memories with the new addition. I am thinking about calling him Milo..........Ruger, Parker, Samson, Chevy and Hudson are some other names on the list but I keep going back to Milo....

I actually heard a perfect solution to the problem on the radio several months ago. No need for a name change, just change the logo. Change it to a potato and case solved.

I'm pretty sure the herd has heard from the regulators that migration is not allowed.

rest easy my retarded friend....I don't like obese, toothless and smelly women ...........your family is obviously safe.

My Uncle Lance worked at a hosiery mill as a Sock Tucker... Then he got a job at a barrel bunging factory as a Cork Socker.. Then he finally found the job of his dreams, working at Pink Willies Massage Parlor and Bath House as a...Geeze..I can't remember his job title..

There will be some great prizes given away this year and we wish everyone a safe and successful hunt!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!! This is not run by HuntingNY.com

Didn't the Oneida Nation (NY) start the ball rolling with this whole thing? If a large portion of the Native American population is offended by the name and want it gone, then it needs to go. If its a mixed reaction….What do you do? It seems to me that "Redskin" would be offensive to native americans, but my vote doesn't count.

I know that there are darn few people that feel good about shooting animals that have been bred for domestication. But as a kid, we had some experiences where dogs got into our sheep, and I can tell you that there is nothing innocent, or loveable about a group of dogs that run loose and entertain their instincts from their ancestors. We had thousands of dollars of damage, of the most ruthless sort. These dogs were not killing out of hunger. Not a one of the sheep was actually eaten. Just enough damage was done to kill each sheep or leave them in a condition where they had to be destroyed. The interesting thing about these dogs was that they all were domestic family pets that were allowed to run free and take up some new hobbies. All of them were licensed, with tags, but totally unsupervised. I have also seen dogs running deer and ripping them apart, a bite at a time over long distances ..... not hardly the behavior that anyone assigns to the family pet, but almost always that is exactly what they are. So it's nice to have a soft spot in your heart for the loyal house pet, but don't be fooled into thinking that their calm, good nature as they are flopped out with their head on your lap is anything that cannot reverse 180 degrees when running loose with a couple of neighborhood pals. And the same thing is true of the family pussy-cat that is booted out the door in the morning to simply do what comes natural to them all day long.

I forgot I once worked in a pantyhose factory as a "diesel fitter " ......

I had an uncle who went to med school and became a gynecologist. He had to give it up because he was developing tunnel vision.

I had a friend who worked in a pickle factory but got caught putting his wiener in the pickle slicer & they both got fired!

Man, was I dumb! For years I was doing the job for free!

I have a old field and stream whose back cover is a full page lithograph , protect your small game! Kill all ferrell cats!! Its.my favorite non--pc add. I'll let you assume what I do as I don't need Peta involved in my life.

Man I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

The trout opener is amateur hour anyway, wait a few weeks and the fishing is better and the streams aren't crowded

Thankyou all for sharing what you do for work to provide not only the general pulic but to support your family's.My first job before going to school for a trade was collecting egg' on a chicken farm making 3.00per hour Then I thaught I was hot shit I didnt need Daddy to buy what I wanted.Some people were raised that never had to or will have to work to earn their way in life,Great for them atleast I earned what I have in my life.

Awesome pics, no mossy oak camo or scented jackets, just pure hunting in red and black flannel shirts...gotta love it....

Biz...Here's a pic of my dad and uncle at their cabin in Phoenicia around 1950. It's good to look at the old pics.

Ranger Islander contest is really heating up!!!! What was that other NY or upstate team………….lol..sorry you had your day.

Get one before season, and play with the spring position, purrs cuts and yelps are ver easy yo do, I do not use a mouth call and push boxes and pot calls are all I use. I like the double push box by quakerboy nothing brings in birds like 2 hens fighting,very easy to use and do with that push box. I think birds come easier when they here 2 birds vs 1 especially if shot at by a single caller.

Ives Goddard, a Smithsonian Institution senior linguist and curator emeritus, asserts that the term was originally benign in meaning, and reflected positive aspects of early relations between Native Americans and whites. It emerged at a specific period in history (1769–1826) among a small group of men linked by joint activities; this provided its context. Goddard cites historical instances of Native Americans identifying as red men, or RED-SKIN, and redskins.[15] However in an interview Goddard admits that it is impossible to verify if the native words were accurately translated.[16] Johnathan Buffalo, historic preservation director of the Meskwaki Nation, also known as the Sac and Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa, said tribal members in the 1800s used “redskins” as a simple term of identifying themselves — just as they identified others as “whiteskins” or “blackskins” — without any derogatory intent.[17]

When I was a kid my parents adopted two pure bred labs from a breeder to give them better homes for last year of lives we had them 5 or 6 years and the breeder had bred them right before we took them in. Apparently the dogs down the road could smell them when they got loose and stood on my parents back porch barking aggressively toward them in the room where they had their puppys....my dad tried to shoo them away but dogs came at him. It was late on the night and he came down and asked for my paintball gun after the cops had givin him permission to dispatch them if nessasary and they were in route. So he came and got me and my paintball guns and we lit them dogs up. They ended up leaving cops took his statement and next day went door to door to the farms around until they found the Orange painted dogs. We didn't not file charges about it bc we didn't end up loosing and puppys in the commotion of the mom jumping around and trying to make sure they were protected but the cops did inform him that if it happened again it would be deadly force not paintballs....idk what got into them thay day as I had seen them while riding my bike by his house durring summer and never had them act aggressively toward me...just goes to show as soon as they are away from masters they can change dramatically...

I don't understand why this is a liberal issue, I know plenty of conservative who agree with the name being changed, but more importantly, you have a whole group of people both conservative and liberal called native americans that object to the slur name redskin and do not object to the tribal, place or given name of our weapons of mass destruction. Native americans brought up this issue in the first place and many people have come to see it their way on this issue, why are more conservative not seeing it their way? Why is it that mostly conservatives are voicing opposition? Wouldn't a conservative want to conserve a people rights and respect? or is it that conservatives really want to conserve the america of 50 years ago complete with bigotry and racism? No one other than a native american can tell you if redskin is a slur or not, the rest of america's opinion is interesting but irrelavant. Simply put as the first generation son of italian born immigrants you do not get to tell me what i find offensive, I'll tell you!

According to this, I can legally shoot cats hunting wild birds at my feeder, at bird houses, etc - feral or otherwise. That is news to me. I don't want to shoot anyone's pet but we have had big problems with feral cats in the past. Thanks.

Please scan it and share. I would like to see it.

I believe it was done intentionally. I also believe more will be intentionally checked like that in the future. The whole law should be overturned as unconstitutional just because there is no due process or legal recourse for the accused after their rights have been violated. I don't believe there is any other offense one could commit that would be handled this way.

How they might feel? Did you ever discuss with them how they actually feel? From what I've read, most native Americans don't have an issue with it. Seems the one's that do, and it's not many compared to the entire native population, are politically connected, being paid to push the agenda or stand to profit politically from the protest.

I think a lot of them voted for the same guys that rammed the SAFE Act through because they thought it didn't affect them, only the "extremists" that want to own "assault weapons". As long as their own self interests were OK, they couldn't care less about anyone else's. After they found out how it would affect them with NICS checks, ammo buys and pistol permits, they got upset. Too little, too late.

Nice shot!

I won't be getting any praises from the DEC on cat or dog kills any time soon..........................

Eggs Benedict or eggs Florentine will knock your socks off..................................Oh, need some sweets? Chocolate chip pancakes to die for. Dinners there were always OK, but the salad bar was very good. The Naples Hotel has a good burger at the bar....... May as well stop in at Sutton's too.......see if anything has changed in the last 50 years. I do love the place, have dropped cash just about every time I've been there!

Albania was under one of the most brutal communist dictators so most masques and churches were destroyed because the leader believed that religion was a determent to communism. The ethnic blood between Albanians and other nationalities has nothing to do with religion like you said so they have Zero merit in your response. Again I will say there is and has not been religious conflicts between Albanians since the time of Gjergj Kastrioti.

Sting like a bee young man...sting like a bee.

Shows how much you know! There is Zero prosecution of Christians in Albania which is the main reason why the Pope went to Albania...Go look that up. Ill help you out on that one though...He said it was one of the only countries to have ZERO religious conflicts in the whole world. I know the KLA and they were brought about because of the atrocities done to the Kosovar Albanians by the Serbian police and they are in no way a Wahhabi group in fact they never even use Islam as a banner, instead using their Albanian heritage. Catholic, Orthodox and Muslims fought and died together in the KLA. Those accusations are so outrageous I cant even fathom where they came from. They are actually supplying the Kurdish fighters against ISIS with weapons and munitions. Funny how you literally got everything wrong about this.

I didn't miss your point, I just answered the twisted statement made by fellow board member. I pointed out that this cop has been Judged in and outside or the court room and many agencies investigated this case hard and he was clean. The OP side the Ferguson (Brown Case)I took it. Now to the department being dirty if that found to be true than clean house,but lets be fair to the officer in the Brown case. Maybe he was a good cop in a bad department could be, but in this case the man was cleared and the community was baited to be divided to which then lead to Ferguson being looted burned robbed and the rest of the BS.

It's a stupid and pointless question. I am not concerned with skin color. I am concerned with worldview and whether ours will be compatible. Notice how I didn't ask about my Muslim neighbors race? Guess why? Race is not a concern. You seem to think it is. This makes you an idiot. I have never raised any concerns about peoples country of origin or skin color. You, like a typical liberal, want to reduce situations and solutions to absurd simplicities that are not even relevant. Life doesn't work that way. And you haven't told us if you feel that Norway's Muslim repatriation plan is good for Norwegian society or not. If you think it is evil and racist, do tell us why you feel that way. Your silence is deafening. If you won't answer my questions. Why should I waste my time on yours? They are getting really dumb after all.

Interesting. I bet her parents were disappointed at the onset and excited at the sunset.

I have a similar life-long friend. We've agreed to not discuss politics when we get together for a few drinks. If I met him today the only thing we would agree on is that we couldn't possibly be friends. I'll be the best man in his wedding in August. 45 years of friendship and history will trump current politics every time. The cracker comments came mostly when I was hired as the only white guy on a residential framing crew in Louisiana in the 70's. The 8 of us learned a lot from each other that summer.

Nice but sad pics wooly. Unfortunately I think this is going to be commonplace in the coming month....... Mother Nature's way.

Walked up on this little sucker dying today. Got a good kick in the face trying to get the pic, but that another pic for another day.... Seriously.... I caught a hoof to the eye-brow and it stung like a bitch, but I ain't bitchin' about it! More pics of the episode comig soon...

This is awesome and I can picture it in my head as you describe it! Sounds soemthing like Larry Benoit or any of the benoits would carry.

Had to come to PA to get my 12 yr old son a gun buck. C'mon NY change your laws so we can do this in NY.

the last two Turkey I got were killed between 11:00 & 12:00.........don't give up too early.

Got this guy on my cam, this will be my second year out and I'm hopeful he will be my first white tail.

My son sent me these pics from my new food plot this year in 7S. The dates are wrong as he had alot of cameras to do and didnt have time to set dates / time.These were taken a week ago and my stand is located about 75 yds into the woods on a travel route.

finally got a chance to pull cameras and found my #1 in my hit list for the season!
