WOOT! I finally had the perfect opportunity to mention to my boss that since we were starting to slow down a bit that "hunting season" was coming at a good time!! I was going to need some time off coming towards the end of October, November and early December. We've been been friends for 40 years and he has always know I've hunted a lot, NOW he will know how much that really is!! He said "no sweat"............... Tomorrow I'm planning to bow hunt for the morning & evening and shoot the rifle during mid day. Rough day............... Soooo, to celebrate the 2015 Hunting Season (I know many of you SOB's have a jump on me) I'm going to offer a toast. Bourbon Manhattan and a new to me Geno Denning knife!! Bottoms UP and cheers....................................................

Ran down to Cattaraugus creek after work today and landed two nice steelies. Both from the lake side using silver and blue Little Cleos. The smoker will be full tommorow !

Passed on the first shooter buck of the year thanks to the doe only rule. Guess I am destined for a better shooter. Lol. Don't even have a bow just video cam and the cam stinks in even shady light as I learned this morning. No video either. Oh well. Wasn't busted so hope I seem him again. Good Intel I guess.

I think I would be tempted to try TILEX . You want to get the mold off the boots and you might as well kill it also . Removes the stains you can't stand, and kills the mold you can't see. Use Tilex® Mold & Mildew Remover as directed, and you'll not only remove ugly stains, you'll kill the mold and mildew that cause them. You can also use it to disinfect vinyl and plastic surfaces, even no-wax floors.

Snow sure is great to see for bow season but the first real snowfall of the season usually shuts the deer down for a few days in my experience.

Best morning ever. 8am 2 little spikes then around 830 a big bodied 4 with a group of 8 does, right after the does 3 nice 4s and a 6. Never seen this many bucks and for in a group.

Anyways me and wife in niagra falls Canada for weekend...I'll tell ya what whoever has never been to Canadian side your missing out this side dare I say it makes the stateside look bad....we have some developing to do on stateside.....if you get a chance worth the trip Hotel room view Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

In for coffee now. Heard some really weird growls on a ridge above me about 6am . Never heard the likes before. Went on for some time too. Edit: OK, watched some youtube vids of Bucks growling. Looks like it may have been the Big 10 Buck. Never heard 'em growl before. Very deep, drawn out, chesty growly sounds. Not like the usual grunts.

For those concerned about getting a SIM card or the proper plan, I believe I have figured out a way to do it for you, so buying could literally be as simple as paying, opening the box, and turning the cam on. Obviously that would add a bit of cost, but that is now possible.

So I have been thinking a lot about all the prep I do for hunting. One of my greatest memories from when I was 5 or 6 years old was when my father took me to hunting camp. This was back in the 70's. I can remember the room being cloudy from all the people smoking cigars and cigarettes in the light of the lanterns burning above the kitchen table. In the morning they would get up and cook bacon and eggs over the coal stove never thinking for a second what they smelled like. They would put on their wool red and black or red and green coats and whatever they wore for pants and boots and head out after breakfast. Most of them with a cigarette in their mouth. I can remember my Dad and I saw 22 deer that day. All while my Dad was toting around a 5 or 6 year old that I am sure wasn't exactly quiet. They were all doe (they didn't have doe tags back then) but still, 22 deer. Now when I go hunting I get up an hour early. Take a shower in the special soap, put on deodorant that doesn't smell (or work) take my cloths that have been washed in a special detergent and leave them in a tote in the back of my truck. Go to my hunting area and get dressed while freezing making sure not to make my cloths smell like the inside of my truck. Spray myself down with some magic elixir so I don't smell and to this day I have never seen 22 deer in one day. I have never seen a buck bigger than a 6pt. So I haven't been out yet this year but I decided that Sunday, when I go out....My cloths will be washed in the magic detergent but they won't be in a tote and I will probably spray down with the magic spray but only because I have it. I am not going to worry about it, I am just going to hunt and see what the season brings me.....Does anybody else just hunt anymore?

This is my BIL's,I am posting it for him and will relay messages for him or get prospected buyers in touch with him.He is interested in trades so let me know Custom Shop Weatherby (5 panel Lazermark) Mark V 270 Weatherby Magnum with original hand painted Weatherby sling. Comes with ammo (4 full boxes of weatherby 130 grain and one box of used brass) and brand new 4.5-14×40 Leupold vx-3 scope with Alumina flip up caps and gun case. I believe it has only been shot from factory. Must see to appreciate. $4000.00 or best offer.

Oh I never over do it anymore. I'd like to but it ain't happening. I went to bed at 9:30 and woke up at 3:00 although the alarm was set for 4:30. Laid there for 45 minutes and said the heck with it..............took a shower, brushed the pearly whites, made a cup of coffee and hit the road. I got to my spot around 6:30, took my time changing into hunting clothes/harness etc then made the long 250 yard hike in. A doe and fawn came by around 7:30 or so and although I had a real nice opening at 16 yards I thought they would swing around a blow down and head to the apple tree. No dice.............they did the old backyard football slant pattern and kept going. All & all in was a very pleasant sit. I PLANNED on hunting the afternoon also but I have to confess; I made a decision that shows maturity. My wife and I have plans for tomorrow and I'm tired so I came home. I didn't want to be tracking (maybe??) a wounded deer late, then gutting it and driving home. Then tomorrow I'd be obligated to butchering.......................... I did spend some time checking out a couple new places, moved a camera, shot two rifles and ate at Subway. Home by 3:30 and I'm basically on Queer Street now.......................

thank you.......my wife is tired of explaining the matted down spots on her mink coat.

there's been years when I thought my effective range was 30 yards, but after missing deer at less, I rethought that idea.

wait till the media get ahold of that information. It will be the storm of the century.

they should call it Doe (only if you get caught areas) from what I hear there won't be many bucks left for honest guys.

By buddy texted me this am asking if I've been out looking for an early doe. I said I'm not burning up stands to just shoot a doe and I dont want to see a nice buck come cruising by be either, ill wait till the 16th. I asked if he has seen any bucks an he saw a nice 10pt this am in range. My point exactly!!

Out for afternoon hunt. Got the good vibe feeling going!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jesus, have a little prop plane flying probly 100 ft over the tree tops right over me , 3rd pass already .... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That sounds cool, I can't wait to get out. We only have about 5 acres of mature hardwoods on our farm, but there are some oaks in there which usually provide a little action. Getting a limit is tough in the limited space. Tomorrow, if the weather cooperates, I will bring the .410 over to my folks place when we visit for dinner. They have a lot more mature hardwoods that are loaded with hickory. I have taken many a limit over there, but usually with the .22 after the leaves are down. The best afternoon I ever had on squirrels was opening day of gun-season for deer about 20 years ago. It was super warm and I killed my buck on our farm, skinned it and hung the quarters in our old garage fridge by 10:00 am. I headed over to the folks place after lunch and had my limit of squirrels with the .22 in under an hour. Squirrel stew in the crockpot for dinner the next day with pan-fried venison tenderloins as an appetizer was one of the best meals I remember. The only thing more fun than hunting squirrels and deer is eating them.

. I'm starting to agree except trout it's dead out here today

I'm in. Coon fight in the creek behind me

100-300 ft apart in clusters. I place them to cover all wind directions and in what I call zones around the property....Being a bow hunter I like having lots of stands and blinds as well...If going into an area if I can't reach a stand due to deer or turkey then I have a brush blind nearby to scoot into ...

It's a bit chilly out there....wearing the coat today instead of fleece..good luck all....

I'll have mine out in the woods tomorrow.

I'm all set for this years canoe in deer hunt. I'll be putting the canoe in early weds., October 21st. I'll spend Thursday and Friday setting up camp and maybe a little scouting, but come Saturday the hunting starts. I have received my back country permit to camp till November 1st which will be about the best I can do. I have an 18' wood canvas Old Town OCTA this year, but I'm still on the fence about taking my trusty 15' Chestnut Chum. I know I could fit all my gear in the Chum, but what if I score a deer? One option would be to leap frog my way out for two days....to be honest that would be a good problem. The plan is to camp at site 35 on the s/w section of the lake and hunt around Tomar Mountain. Maybe spend some time down towards Bog Lake area if the winds are up. I'm very cautious about hunting the big woods and that pretty much dictates my hunting style. If I see some sign close to the lake I'll work it, or maybe circle the mountain and look for a spot to sit during the week. Deep penetration of the woods is just not going to happen. I have been tuning my outfit for the last few weeks, checking the tent and improving my interior frame, tinkering with the wood stove, getting it all cleaned up, packing and repacking the wanigan, checking the canoes, planning meals, studying the maps, staring at google maps earth.. Lots to do, getting ready is half the fun.

Wrapped in camo cloth and ready for turkey season! I'll keep an eye out at Chester's in Ronkonkoma for you.

hey! what's wrong with 32 year old underwear?

maybe not, but when you make the claim that you took a shot that may have been out of your effective range and that "Jesus guided it to where it needed to be", you may open yourself up to some "good natured ribbing"....much like someone stating they have "32 year old underwear", that person too would be open to some razzing.

OOOOOOO ! Fine sippin' whiskey you have there, Pilgrim..! I also love knives, although I'm not the connoisseur of blades that you are...

I have the fruit wall paper in my kitchen lol

You little bastid.........I'm an old man, certainly NOT up to date like you and your young lady.

Dang, now this thread is going to get moved to the religious forum

I hunt the wind. all my gear goes in the back seat of my truck day before opening day and comes out last day of muzzleloader. i only pull the clothes and wash them in my regular washing machine every 2 weeks or so unless i get soaked or sweat like crazy. I dont shower in scent free anything, i dont have scent elimination spray, and my clothes are laid down on a seat thats probably half dog hair at this point. I also regularly shoot a buck with bow and gun, (usually after work in khakis) and several doe along the way. Play the wind, the rest is just sales

Agree that wind is key. I don't do much other than use scent free soap and laundry detergent. Typically suit up at home. Good access and stand selection based on wind will do more than all the sprays, etc.

TP as the brush hog and baby wipes as the finish mower.

I'm the quiet old guy. Scares the hell outta the younger folks and makes it unecessary for me to think about things like this.

so, if someone asks you how old you are, you actually add the "and a half" to your age if you're halfway to your next birthday?......I stopped doing that when I was 12.

Are you using the 3XL for a ground blind?
