Just got my Iowa bow kill from last season...Paul Glowacki did a great job......scored high 140's.....dressed 240lbs yes 240....shot him at ten yard went 70 yards and piled up.

Just wanted to update everyone on my great uncle Salvatore. He turned 105 years young today!! God bless him.

A lady friend of mine called to say hello. She likes to fish and I had a book on fishing for all the game fish in North America I wanted her to have. As we talked, she said her daughter is going on the youth turkey hunt with some other friends. It will be her first time hunting. She said they have lots of turkey on their land and usually do well. Mom bought her daughter a nice Mossberg 500 youth model in 20 gauge with screw in chokes to use. She got the turkey choke and 3" #5's for her too. As we talked, I asked if the girl has a sling. She did not. I told her to stop over and pick up the book and I'd give her one of the many extra slings I have that never gets used. I then started to find lots I stuff I never use anymore. Insulated camo coveralls, non-insulated camo coveralls, (both too small for me for years now) camo hat, neckerchief, face mask, license holder, gloves, seat cushion, belt, turkey call, hoodie, olive drab wool sweater, some netting, hand muff I used to use to bowhunt, a bore snake, and anything else I felt she might need to get started. I also scrounged up two good compact folding knives, some Cutters insect repellent and some bug bite relief spray. They came over yesterday evening and I gave them all this stuff. And since she plans to hunt deer too, I gave her 10 rounds of Winchester 20 gauge slugs to see how it shoots them later in the year. I also gave her a few rounds of 2 3/4" #3 Buckshot to have available if she ever needed to defend herself when home alone. (They live in a very rural area). We talked for awhile about hunting turkey, shooting guns and buying equipment. I answered a lot of her questions. I told her to call or e-mail anytime if she felt I could help her out. I like to do whatever I can to get new hunters started in the sport, every chance I get. She said she's going to call me about adding weight to the stock to cut recoil and adding some sights to the vent rib for slug shooting. I wished her good luck when they left. I hope she bags a nice one. Mom said they would invite me for the turkey dinner.

I got up to the Adirondacks last weekend for some more shed hunting. I found a nice 4 point right away. Maybe a mid 130s buck, but pretty good for that area. (#53, 4/15/16) Fleur saving me the trouble of having to pick it up myself... Fleur found this ancient 4 point buried in the leaves. It looked to be 8-10 years old, maybe even older. Hard to believe the porcupines didn't get it. (#54, 4/15/16) Fleur came through again deep in a spruce swamp... It happened so fast I wasn't able to get good pictures. (#55, 4/15/16) I managed to find one more for myself at the end of the day. (#56, 4/15/16) Group photo:

Today is the day that NYS residents vote in the presidential primaries, both Democrat and Republican. It's a 'closed' primary, so you have to be registered for one party or the other to vote today. Not a political post, just a public service announcement.

My votes in, the problem with living in a small town is it took me 2hrs by the time I got done talking to everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We need a beer meetup before hunting season starts again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great hike with dad and son. Pulled some cams and even found a shed

Buyer could have played with it from the moment they received it but ended up breaking it like accidentally dropped it in water or something and now wants to cover for their own mistake by seeking a refund. Not saying it is so but is a possibility. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fixed it for you I don't love mowing but it's pretty satisfying drinking a beer on the porch watching the wife mow it

Trurmp , 6 times . Seems his paw print looks just like all the other dogs and the old women working there can't tell one beagle from another .

who did he vote for?

Seen this picture on another forum, some woman took this bird on her first turkey hunt!!!! Nothing like getting a monster as your first bird!! 1 7/8" spurs on that bad boy!!!

The Mrs and I walked our dog down the street to the church and voted .

I used to enjoy it when I had the time to spare. Nowdays I just dont, and it has become something that sucks up time I really could be using doing something constructive instead of riding around burning gas for a couple of hours at a crack. It has nothing to do with hating being outside or anything like that.

Really hate to follow Sam ...... Went to a friends land in Macedon . I don't know the land well , only hop in one of his stands a couple times a year. Walked it to learn the land better and shoot my new Glock. Found the shed 50 minutes in to the walk and the small head a few minutes after. Number 7 shed for me in maybe 12 to 15 hours of walking around blindly. I just can't grid search to boring for me I just hike trails and such looking for good spots to hang stands .

As my original post states I brought the Garmin Striker 4 portable online at Dicks Sporting Goods for $200. Its scheduled to be delivered today so maybe I can go out and play with it this weekend, if not then definitely next weekend, I will let you know how it works then.

This forum is not really a true sample of NY Deer Hunters as a whole... the survey gives a good idea of the attitudes of those on this forum, but I don't think it reflects actual overall attitudes of most hunters from around the state... there are more informed and less ignorant hunters that regularly participate in this forum... I won't go as far as saying "the cream of the crop" but better informed than the vast majority of NY hunters.

If you're paying, we can go whenever. Only rule is you have to be willing to try everything I order.

Only stainless gun I own

For sure you and everyone else are welcome.Beer and Deer are proof we love our land.To add to this I just did up a batch of mussel's 2 cans Bud 1 stick butter 4 cloves garlic 2 onions and 6 sausage links/2lbs mussel's.No pictures but was tasty.

I have to say this,from a question as to what beer is best for making beer bread has evolved it to an all beer thread is very awesome you all guys and women have shown such a wide view on the types/flavors that can be used or drank with most meals or just a great tasting beverage.I have tried some of thee mentioned beers and some are/have /can't get in my area have been tasty to my taste and some just not for myself.Thanks keep the thread going because not only do I/we use for cooking we just enjoy a beverage.

For any used item, 30 days for a refund is very generous. After that, it's silly to even ask. Especially anything electronic. That's why you should ALWAYS try it out immediately after receiving the item. Case closed.

I don't love mowing but it's pretty satisfying drinking a beer on the porch looking at it afterwards

For turkey this thing is my favorite. Once I figured out to fold it back up into the neat little circle, it sets up or takes down in under a minute and I just strap it to my pack when we pick up to move. I like that it's semi-mobile, lightweight, and packable, and offers the best protection from the swarming black flies. I leave the fiberglass rods at home as I don't mind the sagging roof hunting with a gun. Never really bothered brushing it in for turkey either. Just cleared away the leaves on the floor where I'll set it up and start cluckin'!

I'm usually ready to go home by noon, especially when it's sunny and warm, but I have called in a few nice birds as late as 11:30 AM.

I always try to help out the ladies too. I once asked Miranda Lambert if she'd like to hunt turkeys with me, and she said she'd love to but she had to wash her hair that day. Then I asked her if she'd like to go out to dinner and she said she'd love to but she never dates guys who are shorter than she is.

This is why I don't have close neighbors or a lawn. None of that stepford wives crap for me.

I appreciate the input Mike. Thanks for making people in that area aware of issues beyond the presidential primaries. That's what it's about: making people aware, and getting them to the polls.

Death Threat-Laced ‘F**k Donald Trump’ Music Video Celebrated By Media Will the usual local coterie of hate speech police condemn this? http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2016/04/19/death-threat-laced-fk-donald-trump-music-video-celebrated-media/

I could kick myself for not paying more attention in history, civics, etc. kids are idiots and I was no exception lol

First annual lawn mowing beer

it'd be cool to find something bigger and better but it looks like it was still time well spent. never cared for history back in school, but American history is a different story and local history is entirely different. I've got an old musket that is no longer functional coming to me. it's been passed on down to the first born son or grandson if need be. forget how far it goes back.

Don't do it, go online to Natchez or Midway and get the 380 bullets they will have them in stock and will ship them to your door. Al

Germane to the subject of hunting in NY, there are also State Level Special Elections being held today in a few districts in NYC and Long Island. NY Dove Hunting sent questionnaires to the candidates running in those special elections and published a report. We have identified one anti-hunter. Other candidates who have not responded to our questionnaire are noted. Failure to respond is usually not a favorable sign. We will continue this effort through the November elections and update the report, so bookmark this link. To read the report go to this link: http://nydovehunting.weebly.com/candidate-responses-or-lack-thereof.html

Just a few more from the past week card pull. Couple more cams got put out yesterday.. looking forward to seeing the results.. Birds everywhere, gobbling up a storm.. Cant wait for Saturday!

A man after my own heart, TF..All I had to do was shrink ONE of her favorite blouses and I no longer had to worry about laundry duty..

is that like when my wife asked me to do laundry once many years ago. I messed it up and she's never asked me to do it again. My stupidity was in hindsight sheer genius

Same here. Same with fertilizing, edging, trimming…. But I love looking at that dark green perfect looking lawn afterwards . It got to the point where I hardly ever make my son do it anymore, and I cringe when the wife does it. They set the mower deck too low, miss spots, mow in the wrong direction, leave clippings all over the driveway …I could go on and on….They just don't get it..

You get what you get with used electronics. Anything other than the first week or so and its his.

If you're considering giving a refund, make sure you get the cam back first. People play this game all the time. Ask anyone who used to sell on ebay!

And I was going to go to the show but got tied up. Crazy prices on gun broker for them

Haha no doubt about that! I was just telling my father the morning of the day I got the call that I should be getting a call from them any day now.

Maybe its time to ban him for unrequested dove hunting blasts Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Probably because not all of us wants a mass PM from you. It's like spam being shoved down your throat. I also don't see why kids and females would have an issue with the ads. If the ads is what keeps this place running, why not? I see nothing wrong with it thus far. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Yes Dear we are. Hunting in the real world today is all about the antler and only the antler.Co-op on the little 50k in the real scheme of things may be 0.1%. You can believe in anything you like but most every person that tries QDM has one goal in their mind and thats killing a trophy. You can call it QDM,TDM,CSA or anything else but it boils down to one thing at the end in most every hunters world. Getting the most inches possible.

I had a 19 many moons ago, like the first or second year they offered them. Kept it for 4-5 years then it was sold for another passing fancy...............bought a Model 27 and never really warmed up to it. Then, a number of years ago I got the S&W Shield. I like it a ton but would be just as happy with another 19.

I have nothing against crossbows...I could give a rat's patoot either way on that subject.. But if you think legalizing crossbows across the board is going to solve( or even affect) deer population issues, you are dreaming..

I won't be as I compound hunt also but I thought sence first talk of xbow that they should be required to take archery course....Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
