Every year, I just mark the first two weeks in November, for the best rutting days of the season. Those two weeks are when most bucks are on their feet searching for or breeding the does. Same time frame every year. Will rutting activity take place before and after this time? Absolutely! That's why you spend as much time as you can, on stand, during all of deer season!

Paula ....... is this your phone ? That might be the problem !

I would like to share some of my mounts. a lot of the photos are taken at two different Taxidermy shop, they photo most of my stuff.

No doubt Tom has killed animals in pens in plenty of places. That wasn't and isn't the question. The question was about 4 mule deer that were posted under the title of "my mounts" When I recognized them from pictures i seen on Monster Mulies something didn't add up. That was why I inquired with the Taxidermist. It was possible tom killed them or at least owned the mounts. However in my mind it didn't seem to fit the MO so to speak. Coupled with the fact that he changed quotes on another thread, (jokingly I am sure he will claim) it didn't seem above the guy making a false claim or two. Also quite honestly you have to wonder about the add he placed on here for the high fence "hunt". He had all kinds of stories about other people hunting on the place, wounded Marines, sick children..ect ect . Then he back peddles and says he isn't affiliated with the place? All this in the first day or so this guy joins the forum. Next thing that's odd is why is a guy from Utah joining here anyway? Something is odd on this one. Mods can do what they want, I suggest they look over the other thread in the guide outfitter area. There is some things in there that aren't befitting of a new member, or any member for that matter. I admit to a couple words or two that weren't befitting and will answer for them if necessary . For my part in both threads I am done with this.

I know that many of you , like Growie, make your own pickles, but how about store bought pickles available to all of us? Having said that, my VERY favorite dill pickles are BICK's Garlic Whole Dills, made by Smuckers of Canada. I cannot find a source here in the US, so I stock up when I go up to hunt gobblers every spring. They are a fairly big pickle, very crunchy and delisheous. Garlicky and not too vinegary. My current favorite that is locally available is Claussen Whole Dills...They are SUPER crunchy, although I'd like to see them back off on the allspice a little. They are kept refrigerated at all times, so you'll find them in the meat case, or the produce area, or perhaps the dairy case.

I got one in the mail courtesy of Lawdwaz today.. It has a great sound and it's good and LOUD, just like I like them. It is IMMEDIATELY replacing the Quaker Boy that I have carried for years.. Besides that, it's cool looking ( all wood) and more compact than I expected. Now I just have to dig a lanyard out of my STUFF..I have 4 or 5 of them buried SOMEWHERE..<<grin>>..

try hunting 11/1 till the start of gun season that's my rut prediction

Eddie ...you sly dog you....did you pull that branch she was ducking down on purpose....tell me no lies now....LOL

Omg. I tried a piece. Daughter just got home from school and couldn't wait for the Mrs and I. Best BBQ she's ever had she says. Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce to set it off

The best are the Do pickle brand, Cant be a Dill Do pickle, no sir.

Thumbs up on the Claussen's Dills!

Either way it's got a beautiful green lawn You Can't Beat My Meat!

Insert "old" joke here. Too easy, Pygmy.

Typically nuisance permits require a damage assessment at some point. lodging a complaint may make them reevaluate it. Then again it may be ignored, but not contacting them assures nothing will be done.

I understand your frustrations. You should contact your local DEC office and express it to them. Maybe they'll issue them less permits. You never know. At least you can say you tried something.

Jeremiah Johnson and The Outlaw Josey Wales, are two of my all time favorites! Have watched them both a bunch of times. Some movies, you never get tired of seeing!

I have to agree with Shawn here. Also barrel length has more to do with muzzle blast than the load that is used. For instance, the 21" barrel on my turkey gun with a standard 2 3/4" load may very well make more noise than a 3" magnum load out of a 28" or 30" barrel. Weather conditions make a lot of difference, also as does the direction the shot is fired in. My buddy in Ontario has shot more than one bird within a fairly short distance of me with his 3 1/2" 12 gauge, and I barely heard the shot or perhaps didn't hear it at all

Sounds like their rule to control it how they want. Which can also be the price of admission. would love to find another spot to do this. Nice having that little venison boost going into the hunting camp season. Takes the pressure off...lol

Last year i analyzed the last 5 or so year history of trail cam photos taken over a mock scrape that i open up each year (same spot) and included activity from 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 yr. old bucks (both day and night activity) and the vast majority of bucks peeing over their hocks and using the licking branch was from 11/6 to 11/10. Attached photo is of 6pt. shot on 11/7/15 with crossbow mere feet from that mock scrape. I believe there is a pattern to the rut each year, in this instance it tooks years of photos taken at a fixed loaction on my property to narrow down a time window to hunt that works for me.

Last nights vension meatloaf. Also rotated garlic, corn, mashed potatoes, and croissants.

think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

I wouldn't even make my liver work for that

But you didn't shoot the mulies you posted. So you're a fraud! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If the lions needs to be culled, their corpses should be sent to anti-hunters doorsteps as a reminder of what happens when conservation is under attack. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Cigar city always tastes like they add a little green tea. I like it tho.

Isn't a turkey Reuben a Rachel??

Backstraps sautéed with mushrooms,green beans and potato salad.

I was at tift today and seen 6 bucks 5 had both sides and the smallest buck.of the day only had one 3pt side

I was wondering about this. I spooked a trio today while I as out stomping the brush for rabbits. They must have been laying down on the back side of a fallen tree basking in the sun. I kicked one fallen tree that was resting on another and they took off like missiles. The big male up front had a full rack. I thought they normally fell off by now. EDIT: Also saw a tiny fox (no bigger than my wife's cat) and a pair of beautiful snow owls.

I found an old shed the other day

Cool, at that rate maybe you'll have them all posted by 2017? X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

They're not going to do anything about limiting the access and they shouldn't. That is the landowners right. They can adjust the number of permits they give them based on the surrounding Deer population and damage assessment.

Thank you If that's the case then I don't see it as any different then serving a search warrant. And would side with the Feds. However if the process involves continued access to the program buy the Federal government, in other words unlimited use then I would side with Apple.

"Didn't put enough dirt down. Saw it right off."

Pygmy, Usually eating our own home made but when the wife and daughter go through my canned pickles we get the Claussen Whole Dills. very good pickle. you ever can your own?

Lot of those pic's look like Texas brush country. I have a frind in the biz that has about every one of the exotics. Its possible i guess.

Seems Tom has plum ran dry on "Likes" for the day. Maybe he'll spread 'em around this thread tomorrow.............

I had you pegged all wrong. Your not killing mulies like that in a pen!

I hope to get out one more time. My buddy has a great beagle we've had a couple fun hunts and I hate to see it end

Oh, and BTW. Where is growalot on this? She made the thread and then ran away.

This dirty bastard is trying a Dirty Bastard. First sip was good. Second sip was better. I like it. Definitely taste the malt. Not bad for my first Scotch Ale. Will have to try another.

Tacti_SteveI agree but the problem is population imbalance. These farms attract too many deer and you can't have all these people out there. The farmers can't eat all that meat. Which is why I get in there and help them. They need incentives to donate it to the local food pantries. But they just shoot from the tractor while they're farming. To them its not worth stopping the tractor. This is the kind of statement that just makes everybody cozy right up to the fantastic idea of F%icK!in Nuisances permits.

My Dad used to call the coon bone a "booger hook"... Funny...I tried picking my nose with one and it didn't work very well... Maybe I was using the wrong end...

yep mens brains.... women collect shoes...men penis's ....lol

phone apparently drunk

Spypoints are decent cams, but the delay and re trigger isn't on par w/other brands today.

I will be the last person to tell another how to do what ever they please. I myself do not cut the pelvis bone or the skin covering it I cut from the rib cage to where the pelvic bone starts. I have no need to dry out any more meat then is necessary by cutting through it and exposing it to air. for the record I have been a butcher for over 25 years not just deer but livestock also and believe me I have seen my share of field dressing jobs that make you say what were they thinking. .
