Why are there so many idiots out there faking cougar sightings?? I mean I have actually seen a few around Highland Forest, in Onondaga Co., and I even killed one once on my front porch with my pocket knife (photos got destroyed in a mud slide), but why lie about it.

Cold weather got them going

Wow; bullets flying by the standers head, shooting and hitting a skylined buck, running with loaded guns and trying to shoot a deer in a herd that is running. Awesome.... I'll be passing on buying that DVD thank you.

Welcome Zach! So glad you decided to join us. ( I didn't know he did, until after he signed himself up.) There are some really great people and hunters here. They are always willing to help with any hunting and outdoors questions. I have learned a lot from them myself! Just pull up a seat and join in anytime! You are the best hunting buddy a grampy could ever ask for. I too, Iook forward to this hunting season with you and all the hunting seasons we will have together. I love the time we spend together. Your enthusiasm and always being there, keeps me young. I'm so proud of you and love you very much. Thanks for the nice comments. You guy's are awesome!

My son and I built two today in the rain. Used nothing but what the woods provided. My 13 yr old said, "Dad this is cool". Good times Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Ewe guy's are so baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

Hey, she won the cam! Thanks for taking the time to vote everyone!

I had a similar problem with a stand. I knew who owned the stand, mailed him a note with a deadline to remove it if it was his. It was gone by the deadline. Damaging the wall and cutting a road for his ATV is beyond the pale.

hi im Zach im 11 years old and I love to to go hunting with my grandfather who is know as grampy on this site . We are looking forword to this hunting season . I love the outdoors and the woods.

Not my style of driving, but fun to watch. Except for the shot uphill with rifle where the hunter couldn't tell what was over the crest of the hill... that wasn't cool.

Whitetail porn? ...lol

I feel it's all about the parents or mentors in just about anything. Take driving a car for instance. What is a young person going to learn from a poor or reckless driver? So many things, good and bad, are learned from what a young person observes. We can't lump all the responsible parents and mentors, with the few wingnuts out there who know little more than the one's they are mentoring.

At bottom of a REPLY, go to MORE REPLY OPTIONS at bottom right. ATTACH FILES will appear at bottom of new screen. On your PC, simply find the locations, the photos and choose them. Not sure how this is accomplished when logged-in on a phone. Must be a very similar process though.

I've shot a pile of deer on drives. But now that we're "managed" that's out on the farm . We always had the watchers 1/2 mile or more from the drivers . You post up where the deer are going to generally for us across a large field to the next patch of cover. By the time they get there they often stop and stare before committing to entering it, that makes it easy to drop 1,2 . We had exact trees and bushes they run to every time . " you stay behind this bush and don't move, they'll pop,out of that little dip in the field" I miss that .

Not my style of hunting.

pull my trail cam here are some picks one cam the time day is messing up cam have been up 7/4 - 9/12

Agreed, most guys have a very hard time aging a deer that still has his "summer body". Once that deer starts to get a little testosterone in him people will swear he's older than 5.5. Definitely a beautiful deer that goes a long way to show what time can do. Genetics and nutrition are great but the #1 factor is age.

One of the best posts ever on this site!

Dont know but I must say I am jealous!!!!

I guess we need to sell our guns and give up! LOL

Shooting off the bench with the lead sled is one thing for me. I can get 1 inch groups from my cheap savage too. But like you, shooting freehand is another whole ballgame, and a six inch group is pretty darned good! I have never been what I consider a great shot. Lots of guy's can and do outshoot me at the range. But I very rarely miss a deer.

I heard about this at wegmans this morning I pulled my trail cams yesterday and I do have a pic. of a western ny cougar. sorry about the date the time stamp is messed up

Welcome to the site Zach. You have a wonderful grandfather. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome Zach ! Your Granfather is fast becoming one of my favorite posters here, you'll do well .

Hey Zach, I have a special place in my heart for that name. All Zach's become great hunters!!!! Grampy is a super guy I'm sure the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in your family. Welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site Zach, glad to have you! Grampy is a great guy, you can learn much from him especially about the outdoors and hunting so listen when he talks, I do! Looking forward to hearing about all your adventures together in the beautiful woods of New York State.

Hi Zach, welcome

No thanks.... I will do a 2 or three man "still hunt/push" but that's only late season.. and they aren't running... we still hunt an area and see if we can either sneak up on deer or gently move them out of cover into range of the other person..

It was in my parents yard on Lake road in Webster near Bay road. Dad said his back outside motion light kept going off .... We Found some really big " deer tracks" in his garden that was a little weird I'll tell you !!!! It was later spotted bedded down in a backyard / field two houses away . I would only be guessing on how long ago that was, but it was on the news.

The soap came in 2 packs and i believe she got them for a nickel a pack. I know it was damn near free after the coupons.. so it was pretty cheap compared to the price of a hot fence.

Years ago, I invested in a multi-fletcher. I make and maintain all my own arrows. Have done so for decades. I suppose you can just "stick" it back on, but you may be setting yourself up for sending a few more arrows through the fence gap ..... lol. Also, I don't know how much helix or offset you have on your fletching, but vanes really want to stay straight unless being held with a jig-clamp. It may not be as easy as you are thinking to get that vane stuck back on and actually get it to stay there. Also, the old glue should be completely removed, and the shaft cleaned before trying to glue on a new vane.

I have to say though, that it is the PARENTS that allow the over involvement in things like sports. I can't begin to tell you how many parents I see with kids in multiple sports that are winter, summer, fall, travel this and competition that. they honestly believe little Suzie or Timmy has the talent and "really has a shot" In almost every case the ones that I know are delusional and are trying to relive their youth in their kids.

Funny i see many of these sights on Letchworth every opening day. And i dont believe people are putting drives on? How many have shot a buck after it was jumped or shot at by someone else first. Not much diff...

Great pics !!!

I've a few flashlights that might work well [emoji1] X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Looks like a fisher to me.

Nice pics. What is that black thing?

Very cool pics

Awesome set of pic's! If that doesn't get the blood pumping to start the season, not much will!

HUGE WIN! I can see ten now looking at the schedule. That includes stomping the jets twice

welcome!! take every chance you can get to go outdoors with your grampy!!!

I wonder how they extract those...??... I can picture some dude in a big buck costume sneaking up behind a hot doe with a turkey baster....

As if ohians enter all their bucks...

Parents should decide, after all, they know their kids best. Personally, I probably wouldnt have let my daughter pull a trigger on an animal before she was 9. I dont think she was quite ready before that.

GL!!!

That buck is not 2.5, hes not a 3.5 either. Forget the rack, look at the body. Belly sag, shoulders and quarters evenly sized, legs look proportionate, bottom of neck connects fairly low on the chest. 4.5 minimum, but Id say 5.5, possibly older. Those pic angles are tricky, but if you look, you'll see what I mean.

I'd bet the farm plus the tractor and my whole family that deer is not 2.5!
