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!

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>>...

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.

I've been wanting to try my hand at taxidermy for a while now. A friend walked me through the mounting process on my bow buck from this past season. I ended up picked up 5 bucks to mount. After dealing with some serious frustrations with the whole splitting/fleshing of the face, I finally had a cape ready for the pickle and tanning process. The test subject was my wife's opening morning buck. Thankfully, everything came together smoothly and I'm pretty happy with the results. Now, just have to give it a couple weeks to dry...then I can airbrush, paint and add the finishing touches. BEFORE: On to the next one!!!

I just shoot the smaller ones...that way I know there's bigger out there if needed.

Yes, the interests of sportsmen, the interests of wildlife, are not served by the so-called "miliitias".

I can't wait to see it

I use a recurve or longbow and wooden arrows... with old school Zwicki Broad heads... no sights... and I know many guys that do the same... not sure any of what you said applies.

It is staggering to think of how much money one would need to spend to run out when you start getting in to the upper 100M and 1B range. First step would be getting a lock box at a bank with two signatories (my wife) required to access, and then an accountant and lawyer to best handle the trust or other structure needed to make my name as little known as possible. Then change phone and address info as already stated. Basically have the ducks in a row before claiming. I'd probably work long enough to be able to implement a succession plan for my department because I enjoy the people I work with. Then I'd have to find something engaging to fulfill my life. Probably a giant charity that involves getting kids into hunting and fishing and serving on boards of other career and health focused organizations that I believe are in it for the right reasons. A lot of my fortune would be spent on this. But, there is a part of me that would excess it up - no longer the hookers and blow answer - but probably experiencing the world's exotics and cultures. Be in the Caribbean a lot, travel. Buy something really overpriced that was part of history and put it in my small hometown's museum so they can benefit from it, etc. Not going to lie though, after I've locked that ticket up...I'd probably have one heck of a hangover the next couple days. Probably won't be a day I'll ever have a drink that tastes that good.

Turkey boogers, black bean rice, broccoli and a small bowl (liar) of vanilla ice cream.

The Colonel fell for Bill's charm and had a lengthy relationship with him too

Unless my husband did it

Two ways to look at this- find the trees and build the land around them or (2nd) build it around the deers already observed tendencies. Don't overthink them- if they're there- what more could you ask for? Don Higgins once said " the more natural a property is the more bucks it will keep and pull". Just food for thought.
