Riding out the blizzard on the eastern end of LI with venison stew in the crock pot.

A ground blind hunter myseft. To mimic your fence structure into the forts I once build as a kid provide great blinds for the friends and family. This one, called Ten Point after a wall mounter, has produced deer just about every year. You might consider it the resort hotel of deer blinds.

Don't think he was looking to jump into anyone's honey hole...this guy is a pretty accomplished deer hunter from what I have seen posted the last few years...he was simply looking to see if anyone wanted to team up and knock down some dogs. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Beef pot roast, noodles, broccoli, and some heat-n-eat dinner rolls. Perfect snowy-day meal!! Pictures to follow.

We are the only ones in our right minds....

I believe I am a nice person Just last week a guy at work says, you don't like me do you? I Smiled and said you are correct once again. I can smile and give a compliment at same time. ????

Whatever works for you, my friend... These two schools of thought have existed for a long time...The "expend all the energy on the target" group verses the "exit hole" group... Just another interesting subject for us to discuss on forums like this..

Pumpkin sweet potato venison stew!!!! Pumpkin/sweet potato bisque 1 onion 1 sweet potato 2 apples 2 pears carrots celery venison It is awesome give it a try!!!

I wouldn't call it storm watching only a dusting here so far.Just another enjoyable afternoon beverage.

By my estimate, 2 feet so far in the Philly suburbs, and it won't stop until tomorrow morning. Heading back out to shovel (3rd time).

still steering the deer...but I need to build itand the others, back up after last years rains and heavy snows....I am never lacking in materials...this winter hammered the trees....

let's not forget this epic battle......couldn't resist.

a box full of sail boat fuel LOL

At a family Xmas gathering it seems both a nephew and a brother-in-law acquired crossbows for Xmas. In a short time one side of the basement was converted into a 20 yard archery range. They placed a shooting block on a table and relocated storage boxes to the center of room. Soon half the family was shooting crossbow for their first time. A great way to enjoy both family and sport.

One comment I will make is that a lot if not all those listed wmu's are private land and some urban areas. I don't think the dec takes that into effect either. They see and hear about car and people property damages. But some of these same people will not let you hunt their property. So instead of figuring out away to control deer populations in urban areas the whole wmu pays the price. Just my 2 cents.

I might stop in tomorrow just for shits and giggles. I really should clean out the safes and bit and sell a few, alas living in NY I think buying is a better idea then selling.

I Need to ask ..."I only kill what I eat". Where is your out rage for wood chucks? No season, ,hunted during their rearing phase...don't know of many that eat them. They are no harm to other game animals. So what puts them on a lower level than Coyotes for you?

. I didn't bow hunt the first two weekends and for ML since I had the license from going up north I went to came in another region. I will shoot does with both bow and ML but I wanted to have the opportunity to shoot that buck if if came by as well.

all I see are the beginnings of a blind...lol

Oskar Blues death by coconut. This is crazy good. $14 for a 4 pack though

...and the dance goes merrily on... We're all on 'a list' somewhere.

In the grand scheme of things, some of you folks are complaining about $25 per coyote, but NYS spends $1000 per deer shot by a sniper. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Went to St. Josephs Brewery in Indy. Awesome...beer in church!

Yeah Baby!!! Garlic and butter with a little salt and pepper. Delicious! If I had another pack thawed ,I would cook them up right now..

I have not read every post, but I don't recall anybody mentioning the fact that PA already has a year round season for coyotes...In fact the only time that you can't shoot them is before noon during spring gobbler season and during deer rifle season IF you do not have a valid deer tag.You can even shoot them on SUNDAY, Praise The Lord ! Ain't too many critters you can legally shoot on Sunday in PA. Soooooo, do you really think a $25 bounty is REALLY going to get more people shooting coyotes ? I think it's going to waste taxpayers money paying for coyotes that would be shot REGARDLESS of the bounty...

Quote: "I've yet to meet a hunter on the field that didn't want to shoot a coyote, anytime, anywhere it's legal." And yet 99.9% of hunters will only shoot one as a target of opportunity. They do not hit the field ever with coyotes as the primary target. Longer seasons and/or bounties will not change this or increase overall kill in a statistically significant amount.

Think of a month with her at home after you tell her she can't go... LOL

Crossbow all of bow season "yes" You have my vote . BB guns no way . whatthehellareyouthinking ......

If elected, I would put venison in every pot and a firearm in every "Law Abiding" citizen's hand!

If this gets passed, I predict the number of names on the watch list will start to grow very quickly, for all sorts of reasons, none of which you will be entitled to know. You will also not be able to get off the list either. http://www.guns.com/2016/01/22/new-york-moves-to-refuse-gun-licenses-to-those-on-no-fly-list/?utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_content=56a2bdd604d3017ab9d1dea4&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook

My dad and I have been experimenting with videos instead of pictures this past fall and were very happy with the results! I hope you enjoy the video and to my knowledge everything survived the season. We hope to see this buck next fall for sure. https://youtu.be/mrAflVxTCWU

every time I go to one of these Gun shows with the wife I hear the same question how many guns do you need I tell her not many just one of each.

You have it backwards, BB guns are airguns, but airguns are not BB guns. Your logic is at the same level as your education it seems, Kindergarten grade spelling mistakes. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

I wounder what you'd get if you ordered just the box.

Looks good growie

I'm curious to see what the reported antlered buck take was on October 16th.

Every year the ground rules change significantly. How do you ever compare apples to apples when that is going on? How do you come up with reliable statistics that have no factual history to base it on? Just askin'

Ha, you made me really LOL but so true !!

I would agree if it wasn't an idea that so many apparently feel can be refuted so easily. I'm not sure I really buy that thought. As was pointed out, there is a public aspect to all of this that I'm sure the DNR wouldn't really want to find themselves in the middle of unless they thought they could back up their position. And as far as them being driven by hunters, that I not the impression I get after hearing all the years of outcry over their severe attack on the deer herd down there. I get the impression that they are determined to do what they think is the right thing (as they see it) regardless of how it plays among the hunters. No, I think this is genuinely supported by whatever coyote management research they could dredge up. If we say they are all screwed up about this idea, then we have to put the blame where the buck stops. This is not something that can easily be blamed on hunters.

My only question would be "How much more coyote hunting do they expect with the introduction of a bounty?"... It would certainly be a waste of tax payer money if it doesn't solve whatever problem it is they are trying to solve. I have been looking for coyote population numbers for PA and haven't come up with anything yet... you would think there would have been concerns long before now if the problem was big enough. I can't find anything on the subject that tells much.

In light of the changes they made last year and the proposed changes for this year. I'm very surprised they have not made a proposal for full inclusion for crossbows. It does make sense to do so. Perhaps that is why it's not being proposed.

Lorettos Archery in Collins NY.I believe he has bags out to 45 and maybe 30 3d targets set at all time...10 for an hour of shooting. Runs a nice pro shop as well...he is an Elite and Obession dealer. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

It is sad that you think this is the place to get accurate information, and that I am an ignoramus because I have been depending on peer reviewed science for my information. Wow! I have said it before but apparently it needs repeating: The risks to humans from coyotes cannot compare to the risks of bee sting, domestic dogs, bacon, domestic violence, glyphosate, falling out of a tree stand, self inflicted wounds from weapons (knives, arrows, guns), etc. etc. etc. The fear of coyotes is not based on any rationale risk assessment. It is primal like the fear of snakes. It made sense to fear wolves - or wolf-like creatures - when we lived off flocks of sheep and goats in a pastoral Europe a thousand years ago. You can let those fears go now.

Made a beef roast and did it my way. It was small so 300 for an hour and a half. Came out perfect. Brown on the edge and red in the middle. The g/f doesn't like it that way, but it's easier for her to cook a slice a bit more for med/well then it is for me to get it rare again. Also made baby golds and fresh green beans.

So the wind was perfect for the "Sure Thing" stand. Up and in position, bow hauled up, arrow knocked, put shooting release on hand, hear a couple footfalls to the west, spot doe. No way........I JUST got in the stand 60 seconds earlier.........................OK, I'll participate. She doesn't follow the script exactly though, she heads to the base of the stand. A couple whiffs of me and she takes two quick jumps towards where she came from. I had the bow drawn before she even stopped, figuring she'd stop and take a peek at the blob in the branches........FFFffttt..,. the arrow is gone and right in the boiler room. She sprints away and I hear her crash about 60 yards from me. I can't see her but I'm confident she is down...................................I decide to leave her be until 9:30 or so, planning on the arrival of a buck at some point. Well, around 8;15 I see a red fox sneaking up on the approx. spot she went down. He figured he had a freebie coming! He must have gnawed away on her for about 20 minutes when all of a sudden I see him/her sneaking towards me with something in it's mouth. WTH man, it's the tail from my doe!! Honest injun...... I got a little Iphone video to substantiate the theft. Here is the doe................
