Wow, am I thrilled right now. I've been entering the bow giveaways for Parker for about 2 years. Never thought I'd win. Well, tonight, I received an email, stating I had won a Thunderhawk crossbow! I almost wet myself with joy. An almost $600 crossbow for free. Now I just have to find a place to hunt with it. Four Seasons, if your offer is still open next season, I may have to take you up on it. Thank you for the offer.

Shortly after I killed my archery buck I took the lower jaw to the DEC in Buffalo to have it aged. The general consensus of the 4 people (1 biologist, 1 ENCON officer and two assistants to the biologist) was that it was a 4.5 year old buck, not 6.5 like my taxidermist thought. Tonight I went and had it officially measured for P&Y/NYS Big Buck Club. He grossed 132 1/8th and netted 122 0/8..... Here's a link to the buck... http://huntingny.com/forums/topic/30060-saturdays-buck-rough-age-score/

I never liked you. First you marry my sister, then you kill MY deer! C'mon man.

The dude on the right is holding a Genny Red Eye...Looks like NY to me !...<<grin>>.. Helluva buck, wherever it was taken !

You cant have a beer after shooting a buck like that??????????

No, it does not qualify for Pope & Young but does for New York State Big Buck Club. Oh, and it's number one in my book.

Great let's let the gov take over shoot the animals and leave them to rot instead of letting volunteers do the work and actually put the meat to good use. Thanks liberals! You Can't Beat My Meat!

Red fox today fell to the bone set Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Shucks, if I ever shot a buck like that I'd have a beer in one hand and a bottle of Jack in the other....For a WEEK !!....<<grin>>...

Homemade crab cakes with Sriracha mayo dipping sauce , arugula with homemade buttermilk dill ranch dressing. Roll Tide !!!!

Hi all, just signed up, love to talk archery. I have been archery hunting since 1986. Killed my first deer with a bow in 87' and never looked back, pretty much put the gun down since picking up the bow. Think I killed my 25th deer with a bow this year. Love being in a tree watching Mother Nature at her best.

Two scenarios I hate hunting in the rain: 1. It's just above freezing 2. I only have doe tags left Shooting a lifetime buck is hard for some people. Others, they can go right at it, just like before. If I were to choose who to pull up a chair with and talk deer hunting with (assuming same locale and hunter age/seasons) - the guy with the lone 200" or the guy with ten bucks between 120 and 150"....I'm picking the latter.

Perhaps I would start hunting with an atlatl. Then I could set my new best based on weapon.

I've read a whole lot of books about the mountain men. If you liked Jeremiah Johnson, read Crow Killer for the real account. The guy was the very definition of Badass!

I thought it was 125 net, not gross.

He's pi$$ed of that they not only shot the buck he was waiting on, they gave him the lame Canadian beer too.

Couple of sirloins, baked potatoes, and sugar snap peas. The kids did some serious damage tonight as did I. Time to hit the treadmill.

My second hunt was day after gun opener. was in the woods an hour and killed the largest 8 point I have ever killed. 2 for the taxi. will try to post a pic sometime.

Went and saw the movie last night. I thought it was pretty good. If your a Jeremiah Johnson fan , you'll probably enjoy this one.

Will King Andy let then have more than 7 rounds in the magazines ? You don't need 10 bullets to kill a "deah" !

After I win the 1.5 Billion, my next mailing address will be..."7 Mile Beach, Grand Cayman Island". If my mail gets misplaced, I will send the pilot and Co-pilot over in my Leer jet to retrieve.

Shot my biggest buck in 87....wow could of saved alot of money

I'd just set a different goal...like the ones I have now: Drop tine Widest rack Longest brow tines Dbl. Split brows Multiple tines Thickest mass

Notice in the second picture that once the guy gets rid of the Labatt's he is smiling from ear to ear??

BEAN SOUP..!! I have had it simmering all morning with a nice meaty ham bone, plus some onions, pressed home grown garlic, bay leaf, rosemary, finely diced carrots, and of course some coarse ground black pepper..The Mermaid is stopping at Wegman's Bakery in Corning to pick up a nice fresh loaf of fresh crusty bread to go with it. Saturday I am invited to a friend's house for a game dinner..I'll be making Lawdwaz's killer venison oven stew as my contribution.

Going to try my first ever pulled back loin/strap.I seasoned with a mix of dry rub it is in the smoker not sure how long about 4 hours?then I will shred mix with sweet baby rays bbq sauce and serve on soft rolls with a side of slaw.Smoker set at 275deg

I've always been interested in the history of the mountain men and I have read several accounts of Hugh Glass's ordeal after the grizzly attack. I am presently about halfway through reading "The Revenant" and plan to watch the movie soon after I finish the book. Friends of mine who have seen the movie told me it was excellent.

Here are a couple other pictures

I get 20 bucks an acre. I'm in Steuben county and some say I could get more but the farmer is a great guy. He will do favors if asked and puts back into the soil what he takes out so my land isn't getting raped. Remember the best part about doing this is your property will go into Ag status on your tax bill. This will eliminate a decent amount of taxes on the property.

Regardless of score or age, that is one awesome buck! Congratulations, again!

real crab? Traitor

Hey, call me w/e! I am glad I helped! Yeah, I like certain posts, I have put a lot of "Likes" on many of your other threads and posts as well. As for the people I align myself with, there are none. I like what makes sense and argue what doesn't. I do don't remember what the thread was, but I made a comment about you for president. Due to your state it like it is, tell it right, and no bones honesty. I still say you run for president. Because now you have proven you can twist what people say into your own meaning, turn what you say around into a play on words, and stand by your facade; Pure political tactic right there!

Armkb quit hitting POST. Same thread about 10 times.

Dude on the left is not happy for the hunter

hypothetical question: what happens if the land that they now have "occupied" and want to give back to the people is in fact done so. and then if those private individuals say "nobody is allowed to hunt/fish/hike/camp/etc on my land"? Or they decide to sell the land to some company who decides to put up whatever they please. Those are legit questions. Its a double edge sword, that could swing against the interests of sportsmen. yes or no?

Ended up tucking the bottom lip a little more... Reunited with last season's bow buck...

Yeah, Larry, my Mom warned me about it. She said that " The Golden Years" is a misnomer...They are actually the RUSTY years... Of course my Mom also told me that if I didn't quit "that" I'd go blind.. I decided to wait until I needed glasses.

This town is only a mile or so from me... what you may not know is that there was a plan already in place to allow bow hunter to do this job... it was suppose to have begun a month or so ago and was postponed by the village ( I'm assuming there was some backlash by some of the residents ) . http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2015/11/fayetteville_bait-and-kill_deer.html. the plan: http://fayettevilleny.gov/NewsAndInformation/VillageNews/DownloadFile.aspx?id=1253

We get over what our taxes are, and what we get seems on the low side for the area, but we rent to relatives and I hunt their land, where they mow, bush hog let me build huts and so on. Ask around what others get. Many factors come into play, soil, Size and shape of fields, access , drainage , how far from his other fields and demand for land in the area ( perhaps the biggest factor ) I'm know folks that get from $30 to $ 60 per acre, but this is in an area where land gets sold before it ever gets " listed ".

This is key make sure they rotate crops or your land will become useless later and need a lot of work. We lease around 80 acres in upstate all flat and get about $40 an acre but is good land. He has been leasing for around 15 years and takes good care of the fields. EDIT: This is in Wayne County.

Nice deer, bad picture. Sends the wrong signals about hunting and alcohol consumption.

Hunt my stand, I'll go to another

Pick one and it's yours, 2012_taco. (you can drive over and pick one out) Then Biz gets next choice, if he wants one. The other two go I'd give to a nice young boy or girl that has a need for one.

Pics from crossbow hunt and gun hunt with 2 of my boys. Time spent together is priceless.

You probably don't know any of the truth about how the NRA fights against killers getting firearms. http://www.chicksontheright.com/the-nra-has-responded-to-obamas-executive-order-today-must-watch/

First, we don't know if Hillary was having an affair at the time, and second, she chose to defend her husband and vilify the women he raped, abused or took advantage of. She even went beyond that and did everything she could to destroy them. All of this is relevant now, because she now wants to be President.

Impeach him You Can't Beat My Meat!

This past fall while grinding my venison my grinder (not that old.....) was slowing up quite a bit. Maybe the meat wasn't cold enough, maybe it had a touch too much sinew or maybe the blade wasn't sharp enough?? I started looking into new grinders at Cabela's. I had some CC points and a couple gift cards to burn so after some soul searching this beast came home yesterday........................ 3/4hp Cabela's Carnivore. The thing is heavy, something like 50lbs! One of my buddies who lives near by has a smaller grinder like my old one, he'll be excited to see this.. Hopefully it does as good as I hope..........
