Back about 15 years ago, the state bought the property that borders ours, and opened it up for public hunting. The first couple of years, they would come by the carfulls, to bang pots, sing songs, and shout how hunting defenceless animals was wrong. Worked out perfect, as I dropped two deer that they drove to me!!! We called DEC when they trespassed on our land. And they made them leave the area, ours and the public land. I was sure to thank them both times though, for the deer they put in front of me!!!!!! But got no "hi fives" with my bloody hands.

Does my wife count ? Really she’s glad when I’m not home , thinks I should take up golf as well . There was a big creek bed, which we called “ the big creek bed”, we’d drive all the time, it awesome very thick around it , started very wide and tapered down to,nothing . It was 100 yards or so from a road that paralleled, and also down hill from it, so drivers could look down and see us . You could do the drive with a couple guys and kill a deer, but to cover all the escape routes and have enough drivers to,prevent them circling your needed 10 or 12 guys , which we didn’t always have, but this one woman used to drive the road slow blowing her horn when she saw us ! That was nice as we didn’t have to post as many guys on the other side .Should have got her number ,was a nice help,.

I was harassed years ago dragging a buck out of the woods on my own property . I knew where the individual lived and sometime late that evening a Gut Pile ended up in their driveway ..... interesting huh !

Giraffe in Africa often become nuisance animals that need to be culled. The meat isn't wasted, in fact it's relished by the natives who get it. Nothing wrong with shooting one at all. Too many judgmental people who have no clue what they are talking about.

Wife doesn’t hunt thank God . She and one daughter have carry permits, the other daughter owns a shotgun ,rifle and hunts a bit with me . She needs to get her permit . They all shoot from time to time .

Oh my.... Came home to a perfectly done eggplant and three different tomatoes ready to go. Fried eggplant (gluten free crumbs) with fresh mozzarella; cherry, grape and beefsteak tomato; truffle oil and balsamic with fresh pepper and sea salt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ribs are falling apart, I never got the corn on and I didn't get to the 1 in the 3 2 1

Used to have a group picket and make a general protest at local 800ac state land about 8-10 years ago. Forest Ranger with jurisdiction didn't do squat, but then a ECO got involved and they seemed to have lost interest last 5 years or so. I have been yelled at and even had State Police called on me walking on the road back to my place during season; SP have no clue at all on environmental laws by the way; so DEC had to come and say I could walk home. LOL

Hunters vs hunters is the worst thing for the sport of hunting. Would I shoot a giraffe nope. BUT taken legally then have at it. There’s a lot of animals I do not have any interest in hunting , there’s lots of different ways of hunting that I wouldn’t do . But in the end if it’s legal then no one should have a problem with it ..

Well I fished a beautiful stretch of the Saranac River and couldn’t raise a trout. It was a really cool hike in though and a gorgeous morning! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

He’s a douche bag.........

My daughter will be a Deer slayer and fishes too. My wife will fish occasionally. She is going to try sitting a hunt or two with me this year.

My wife never showed any interest in it and I surely never pushed it on her. I am actually happy as a clam that she doesn't hunt. It's about the only thing I have left that doesn't involve her, so I prefer to keep it that way. It's an escape from the human condition for me.

Had one of my buddies tree stand harnesses for the ladder stand cut and he fell really bad. Broken leg in 3 spots. Be careful and make sure you always check your stand when going in the dark, a few shakes at the bottom and slightly up will help verify no one is trying to kill you! Some of these people are real idiots who could care less about harming another person if it saves one animal. 5 years later they will complain to the DEC about why they have not done anything to cure lyme after they get it a few times. It's illegal to harass hunters, if it happens to you record it so you have evidence! Then let the DEC know.

The worst I ever had it was the neighbor of one of the places I hunt. Once she would hear a shot she would come screaming and call the state troopers on us. Thankfully she moved and we havent had a problem since.

Just Jeremy and I at the academy tonight . Jeremy shot lights out with the back up bow now has a dilemma. Lookin forward to seeing more faces next Tuesday. May even hang a stand to entice a better turn out .

That’s so cool. I’m no longer impressed with the triple bearded bird I shot about 3/4 years ago. But my next goal is one with three heads , easier targets ya know

No matter how much of a POS he is. No matter how unpopular the POS is upstate. The POS keeps getting voted in again by NYC. I really don't think he is that popular outside of NYC. So let the POS run for POTUS, he will get his ass handed to him. Then maybe the POS will just go away,

I am proud of myself! They turned out pretty good, a bit dry from cooking fast. I used McCormicks smokehouse maple.....mmm

Congrats! Good to see she stayed awake for candles! Good selfie but it looks like a few new grey hairs may be finding their way up there! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What's kept my wife and I together all these years, is we each have our own interests. I don't shop, and she doesn't hunt and fish. She's a city girl, I'm a bumpkin, nobody ever thought we would last. We've outlasted most of the naysayers. If my grandsons had turned out to be granddaughters There Is no doubt, we would still share outdoors time together. I thinks it's very cool to see women and young ladies, enjoying the outdoor stuff.

Daughter turned sweet 16 today. Got drivers permit. She chose sushi for dinner. Mamas car new in June , got mine back from collision shop Friday after rear ended and $6K damage. Going to Hertz to rent a Sherman tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You could be mugged flashing jewelry around. Not too many cat burglars are going to haul out a full body elephant mount.

wife loves to hunt, bow or gun. not a huge fan of waking up early but loves the afternoon hunt. got her first deer a few years ago, big doe 140lbs. helps me cut them up and even likes doing European mounts. guess im pretty lucky

My wife will do all 3 , she most likely would fish over the other 2 . She keeps asking me to take her Turkey hunting .

My wife has hunted with me since 1988. It has been great. She loves it!

I think it's fair to call these people domestic terrorists, not activists. They are violently interfering with the exercise of basic rights.

Low n slow Look up 3/2/1 method.

You should be able to hide a fully body mount somewhere without her noticing.

And most likely you have to be single as well. "No, hon, I am not driving a mini-van and we are not getting a second car. Oh, by the way, I'll be in Africa next month."

he's also an avid hunter and conservationist. he's had a bunch of tv hunting guys on. Jim Shockey, Steve Rinella, Remi Warren, and just had Ted Nugent on. All of them are worth listening to

Go for it Bill. You’ve helped many regarding turkey hunting on here. Time for a little payback in deer hunting tips. Do hope you give it a try

https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/NYSDEC/bulletins/20442c1 I thought it was pretty cool that a biologist got it.

Bill Hollister is a great guy. I've talked to him several times, and have been to his turkey seminar. He is a wealth of turkey knowledge. And probably the best turkey hunter I've ever met.

Nice looking gun but I wouldn’t want to tote that bad boy too far! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First time out this year. Late start and bam first fish was a ripping king and I mean ripping. Took a ton of line. 23lber in early August is fun.

Finally drew a New Mexico rifle tag for elk this season. Elevation in the Unit I'll be hunting goes up to about 9500 ft. Anyone have any experience at those altitudes coming from NY? I've never been that high up and don't what to ruin a hunt with altitude sickness. Going to get there about a day and a half early to try and get acclimated a bit. I've ramped up the workouts but I think that will only help so much. Also, if anyone has any other advice about hunting NM, let me know.

Pandering for votes, telling the crowd what they want up hear. Why Oh Why can’t we get a decent republican to get that commie out of office ..

I am sure you will know this area and many guys from the area. The warm water outflow from the old coal burning plant Russell Station. Wonderful place to catch trout in the claws of winter. Also a magnet for ducks. Only down side is that in the town of Greece they don't allow firearms hunting in that area. Well lit turns out that the town line goes to some water line of Lake Ontario and doesn't extend into the Lake. We confirmed this with DEC. So for the late duck season we were set up in an anchored canoe on the Lake and not in the Town of Greece. Well it also turns out that there were folks set up in the public parking area that were there for the ducks too, but they were there to watch them not eat them. Well the called the LEO's and they came and called us to shore. We explained the situation and they didn't agree. They called DEC and an very nice officer came out and explained to them the errors of their ways. We limited out.

My wife and daughter come to the cabin with me they shoot the 22s abit but that's as far as it goes... No intrest in hunting at all...All though my daughter said she would sit in the stand with me .... Never has yet but you never know...

Wow, scary how the country has changed . I just don’t understand people that try to impose their value system on others. I respect people’s right to disagree , I would even have a respectful conversation if they wished to attempt to dissuade me from engaging in hunting, but harassing and interfering with hunters? A bit over the top. I saw another yutube clip online in Florida where 2 fisherman were legally fishing in a state park pond and were harassed repeatedly. When one of them caught a fish, one of the activists grabbed it and threw it back in , unreal.

I’ve eaten there! Upstairs right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Broad brush.............

My kids are already threatening to buy our neighbors house so they never really leave. Lol. Exciting time for him but I am sure you will miss him, annoying habits and all.
