Woke up 4:11 and said to self close eyes for a minute. Looked at clock and was 5:53. Long blink! Now sitting at the base of a tree overlooking the creek bottom where I missed on a few years ago when it popped up just a few feet from me. That one was so close the pattern must have been like a slug going past its head. It sure is pretty in the Springtime woods. I just seemed to have lost a step along the way, or the fire I once had in my belly for chasing these birds. And, now it starts. i sit here and worry every tickle I feel is another tic! Lol One gobble gobble way off in the distance.

Had a hour to fish this evening. Nice smallie. Ultra light tackle and 2 lb test line. Nice fight.

OMG I'm in the same boat. Been hearing them just can't get up that early, maybe Saturday?

We still have to keep the pressure up on this issue, I have had sportsmen tell me that it only affects state lands, but lands public and private all around the nyc reservoirs also is impacted. Call your senators to oppose this

The 2023 Legislative Session is scheduled to end on June 8th. These final few weeks is when 90% of all legislation will be moved to the Assembly and Senate Floor for votes. Now is the time to make sure we reach out to the EnCon Committee members and Leadership in both the Assembly and Senate, your legislators and the bill sponsors to move Crossbow Legislation, A2940 & S3191, to the floor for a vote. But time is limited and IMMEDIATE ACTION is imperative! Some of the oppositions past friends are no longer in Albany, giving us the opportunity to show the vast support for crossbow inclusion that exists. But this will take everyone, and I mean EVERYONE to reach out TODAY! I know there are many that believe we can not overcome NYB's efforts. That is only because of their HYPE. The fact is, NYB membership has consistently shrunk since 2005. Their financial reports from 2005 through 2020 indicate their membership income from membership has declined by at least 54%, while NY Crossbow Coalition's 2019 income from membership exceeded NYB's 2005 income from membership. Although there are many factors that prevent a direct correlation from membership income to total membership, it does show the trend in their support vs ours. Don't believe the NYB chest pounding rhetoric! NYCC membership far outnumbers NYB membership. Why are they perceived to be so big? Besides having had entrenched allies in Albany for a couple of decades, NYB's diminishing membership is LASER FOCUSED on contacting legislators when needed. And not just 25% of them. ALL OF THEM! Crossbow supporters need to SPEAK UP IN UNISON NOW! We Need EVERYONE to follow the appropriate link, resident or non-resident, below and submit your support letter. These letters will be delivered to the Leadership, all of the EnCon Committee members, the bill sponsors and your representatives in both the Assembly and Senate! After submitting your letters, please follow up with a phone call to the offices of the Leadership, Encon Chairs and Bill Sponsors, requesting passage of A2940 & S3191 before the end of the session!

I would seriously purchase the site if I knew how?

Is this Grouse's boat

Congrats to those who bagged turkeys. I'm going to try and drag myself out of bed for the first time this season, and see if I can a least hear one gobble.

Jake tag and Gobbler tag. Doesn't matter. They all end up like this.

Absolutely amazing day out of Montauk, wife and I caught 2 keeper stripers within the first 10 minutes then Caught and released over 30 more before we threw in the towel.

The November Buffalo blizzard of 22 cost me my first opening day of deer season in WNY in 40 years, but at least I caught this 14” (est) spotted bay bass out in SanDiego bay, as a consolation prize yesterday morning. It went for a hand-tied, 1/4 oz WNY bucktail jig, tipped with a black & white rubber swim bait:
