Love these Letchworth ridge runners. If it wasn’t for the ladies they would live forever. Great Morning.

While things have been pretty quite in this area it seems a number of guys and gals are knocking down some BIG bucks across the state. While there has been a lot of nice racks what has really caught my attention is the size of some of these deer. Thought I would share some for you to enjoy.

Filled 2 DMP's today .... one is small but it's Meat !

Bye Bye " DEI" "Woke" "Pronouns" "Identifying as another Gender" .... Hello Common Sense !

After seeing plenty of doe and non shooter bucks on stand over opening weekend we spotted a buck bedded down in a field on DEP property about 150 yards off a road while heading to town. We glassed it and saw it was a legal shooter. Sun was in it's face and wind was in my face, so it was the perfect time to make a stalk. I donned my blaze orange, slipped out of the truck and chambered a round. Got to within 50 yards of it by crawling through tall grass until I ran into a ditch. I parted the grass with my right foot and popped it in the neck, as it was the only area of it that I had a clear shot of. After the shot an unseen doe bolted away. I thought it was the .01% indigenous genes that allowed me to stalk within 50 yards, but it was actually a hot doe. After we brought it back to the farm to process a ferocious cow tried to take the buck away, but I wasn't having any of that and it quickly backed away after staring down the barrel of the 500 S&W !

Congrats and got it with a hand gun ..amazing

Thanks. Kinda cool where he piled up there in front of some of his handy work there behind him.

lol. I have talked with a couple fellas that wear badges and they said they would never charge anyone with a crossbow that was not stupid Ny legit. Of course there are plenty that would I’m sure but this story here sounds pretty off the wall. Like Al said, guy would be charged a hell of a lot less for a worse crime.

Never used either one but do have friends and family that give positive reviews. https://fingerlakesmeat.com/ https://justplainbusiness.com/log-city-meats/

He is a beauty! Al

Hell these days you can kill a human and get less of a sentence, sounds like baloney to me. Al

Commercial from years ago when I was a kid, I had a Fanner 50, politically incorrect these days!

I have used both Williams and Lyman apertures quite a bit and love them ( I sometimes forget without looking which rifles I have wear which...I have used them on Mausers, 94s, Krags, and on my Lyman Great Plains caplock, which I shoot in league with. If you arent used to open sights, they take getting used to, but much greater accuracy potential than with just open buck horns....Hey, Just ask Quigley!

THe property in Geneseo was more like a swamp than a woods . My oldest son shot a big doe and a button buck . We will be having backstraps for thanksgiving Snack .

I have been hunting the same property for almost 40 years 90% of the time, hunting Squirrels early helps me formulate a Deer hunting plan as I can read their sign and figure out a plan where to be for a Deer hunt when I decide to go. I am not picky and just take them as they come. This year I have seen very little Deer sign and thought there would be a good chance getting skunked but I got lucky the first morning and had a buck walk right into my lap. And then there was a year I think I hunted just about every day and saw zero bucks, on the last day in the last half hour of daylight I had a buck show himself and I scored, you just never know. Al

I guess it all depends how you view deer hunting from a personal aspect. I don't want it to get modernized to a point where the fun and excitement are diminished. Being in the midst of nature has been most of the fun for me. It has an awful lot to teach, willing to learn. Maybe as I age, the thrill of participation is more thrilling than to harvest of a deer. I'm sure we're throw one in, now and again thou.
