So, you may remember my muzzleloader buck from a few weeks ago That I shot from 150 yards away: This is what he looked like after processing (sorry ) So at this point I was done. My one hunting buddy kept encouraging me to do something with the rack. Now, it's a nice rack, but my wife only tolerates so much. So I let him have it. He said he was going to try doing a European mount from scratch. He sent me several pictures of his progress, and I soon realized he was making it for me. So I graciously accepted it, and my wife even let me hang it in my office instead of the garage. (If you look to the right of the mount, its the picture after I shot. He mounted the head on a dowel that was at an angle, so when you walk into my office, it looks like its looking at you. Unique, for sure. A very nice and unexpected memento.

Maizy. 7.5 year old Golden retriever. All of 44 pounds. Smallest adult Golden my wife who’s a vet has ever seen. Every night she comes up between wife and I in bed. Can fit a paw between us so figures she’ll plop down I hear wife go ugh and dog lays on our shoulders and back Eventually I’ll roll over a wee bit and dog slides down between us. Every time someone comes home she brings us one of her stuffed toys. Dumb as a rock but love her to death. Talking about the dog mind you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

9 months now Coooer

I have had so many good dogs through the years it would be hard to pick just one but the photo below is one of my favorites. His name was TJ and he was a good one, we had some pretty good days hitting the timber together.

with all the bad weather and post holiday catching up - need something to put a smile on our faces!!!!!

Charlie is so weird. But alas he's a good boy Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

A few of the pups. The little Frenchie rules the roost, at least she thinks she does.

Our Shepard hound mix Rupert, smartest dog I've ever known.

Took Judy to the dr. Appointment first thing this morning. Got back hit the soft water and shot 6 golden eyes. Dropped the canoe and gear off at the house loaded up the ice sled and hit the hard water and took an hr to grab a quick 50 ice water golds. Sent from my LGL58VL using Tapatalk

We have three wouldn't call them puppies though lol 2 ukc blue tick coonhounds and my daughters 120 pound bull Mastiff he should be about 150# when he's done growing I had to dangle a piece of cheese to get them to sit still lol

Bleu, she is half Bluetick Coonhound and we think half lab. Can’t hunt worth a lick and doesn’t like water smh. She is the bestest though lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Baron with Humphrey, then I have Chester, Bones and Otis

Our little spoiled guy, Ruger. He's not a hunting dog by any means, but don't tell him that.

Mac and Kit! Kit is growing so much every day!

Our dogs Sophie and Jenny helping with kitchen remodel this summer. I look pretty tough at 6 foot 285 lbs. and tatoooes walking my poodles through town.

Love all dogs. Here is our “watchdog”. She is really smart. By the way, imagine those ears on a dog 1/4 her size. Pretty much what she looked like when we got her. Almost named her Dumbo. I was praying the ears would stop growing. lol

This is Hoss

Zoey on the left, jack-a-bea. Lynn on the right, Jack Russell. Zoey is a box of rocks, real good at eating dinner and sleeping Lynn is a nut. Will chase and kill anything with fur. Woodchuck was her best so far, went down in the hole to get em. Also went face to face with a yote, and was not gonna back down. Dog has no fear at all. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

This is Luna, she’s the best dog you could ever want. We got her at three months and she’s always been as calm and gentle as can be. Se sits next to me all day in my office and if I even glance at her she puts out her paw for me to hold. The only thing she ever does works is take paper towels out of the wastebaskets and chew them into small pieces, which actually cracks me up. Oh and here’s Clara, also a dog.

This is Maggy she is 7 and a pain in the a$$ but we wouldn't know what to do without her..

My boy Charlie, he's half beagle and half Australian Shepherd. And he loves to swim? Lol. Wpuldnt think he would be a swimmer with those breeds but he loves it. Wouldn't know what to do without him.

Gus,

Here is a pic of our faithful dog Holly . She was great with the kids . She had arthritis bad and was losing her eyesight . We had to have her put away . i broke down and cried when I signed the papers at the vet's . Never got another dog after that .

Just grabbed this at the downtown New Era store this morning...place was mobbed! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Looking forward to @phade "Live from the Bills Playoff Game 2018" thread

Poaching and then posting on the web. Stupidity at its finest!

social media is one of the best ways to catch poachers these days. I mean, why kill 3 big bucks if you can't compensate for your small dick by posting them online?

I sent an email to Jennifer Mobilia and she sent me the link. I did not even know they were out there till I left and my buddy said they were there filming and talking to fisherman. http://www.whec.com/news/ice-fishing-sodus-bay-weather-perfect/4730668/?cat=565

Another poacher got himself nabbed, by bragging about his poaching on Facebook. He poaches 3 bucks and then wants to brag about it. I believe that his bragging mentality that some believe that they have to get the biggest and most kills leads to a lot of poaching. This contributes to poor hunting opportunities for the overwhelming majority of us true hunters who obey game laws and regulations. I also personally believe that a lot of these "big buck" contests add to the problem, and I would like to see them ended. As I have stated before, I hope the judge gives this poacher the maximum penalties for each and every one of the violations he committed. valoroutdoors.com http://www.syracuse.com/outdoors/index.ssf/2018/01/cny_man_boasts_on_facebook_after_killing_deer_now_faces_11500_in_fines.html#incart_river_home

Dad’s buck from 2016.........he shot it and I finished it with his .308 Kimber. The buck if I recall correctly had a broadhead in its neck from an archery season wound. When i shot, he flopped over and both sides of his rack popped off!! Blew my mind.......

Really nice, cool idea with the picture

This is Gus, we had to put him down 3 years ago due to cancer. He was 11 and was a huge part of the family he is missed a bunch..

Kinda like asking on the web how to clean money that was soiled by a dye pack. lol

Meanwhile the town is going to pay “ sharpshooters” to come in and kill deer at night over bait ( at least that’s how I’ve seen it done around here .) Dont take that as defending the guy, just seems a bit ironic . one guy I work with killed 7 deer in a town bow hunt this year and another killed 23 a year or ago, this place could use hunters who PAY to do,the same .

Here's a vid from Staten Island today during the storm.

My too rescues. My baby girl (Denver) is pit and boxer mix so I was told and the little guy (teddy) so I'm told is border collie pekingese. Both great dogs and both get car sick.

Couldn't find does and had a bad case of blue balls?

Bragging about criminal behavior is stupidity at it's finest. We see it daily.

Never! I will take a doe if meat needed. If he beat me that long and its late season....I will see him next year. Maybe!
