Hard work and perseverance paid off. 4 snows down finally. Miserable cold windy wet weather. Perfect goose hunting day though. Hoping snows stick around for next weekend and hoping to hunt again. Good luck to all out there.

We cut back this year.

Made three sets last nite 2min into first set call in one and missed a chip shot 2nd set called in a bobcat and a yote cats arnt in season here and I would have been shooting towards the road at the yote. Third setup should have had a partner cause 2 came in behind me at about 10 yards. Even Though I didn't connect it was still a good nite Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ha! Just the night before I got into a bar fight with the Marlboro Man over a chick; he got the chick, I got his old coat.

Did your cousin Luke help you drag him out? On a side note, can I have Daisys phone number?

Or are you just an over sensitive boob who sees a racist behind every tree?? or a person who insists that criticism of any minority group can only be racism? White sheet??? Hitler?? Really? Sounds to me like you're just regurgitating the same racist paranoia Bu!! $hit you've been spoon fed you whole life, by the real haters.. Open you mind and go find a job

Watching in person. Christmas gift tickets from my daughter and son in law. He is going too. He is abills fanand I am a cowboy fan. Gonna be a long ride home for him.

Oh Lord no.... I don't have the cash to throw around on critter skins an skulls. Borax (boric acid) is the poor mans duct tape when it comes to stuff like this for me. Sure it's a little stiff when it dries, but it holds it's shape nicely that way an is still completely functional when you plan out the pivot points. I've got a few deer hides in the works as we speak that will be turned into hand muffs and arrow quivers the same way. I'm no taxidermist, but what I come up with usually is preserved well enough and hangs around for a few years without gettin' tossed this way. One day I'll learn how to do things right.... but for now I won't charge anyone for my useless advice,lol...

No cranker here, but you can imagine how sweet a gals first deer/buck was at the end of the day. I've never had such a happy hunt in my entire life! It wasn't the most perfect shot. She caught him a lil far back so we trailed him over 300yds. My head was glued to the blood trail which was running out by the step. Sis looked over and spotted him trying to get to his feet. A littlttle confusion amongst us at that point, but she finally settled the crosshairs to DUMP him for good! This was my most memorable hunt EVER! F= big bucks!

Killed this one in NY one morning in 2014 prior to the deer opener. Called it in using an old Herter's Dying Rabbit mouth call. A real loud squealer of a call. After deer seasons are done, I find I can only get them to come in at night. I like to hunt them after dark when there is snow and a full moon. It's still important to watch the wind. Took two this year, but took them while deer hunting.

These are just the ones I can scrounge up in my house. Good thing I can hide the rest in the woods from my wife.

I killed a nice 8 point in Hinsdale that first year with the .308 on my TC Encore. At 11 yards lol. Thank goodness I had that rifle!

I remember it like it was yesterday....the guy who I belonged to the Tonawanda Sportsman club with and I walked in there and asked to speak with a salesman....this guy ends up telling us he'll give us 250 towards a new gun, we tell him it retails for over 900??? He says first off this didn't come from us...and rifle isn't legal around here so they dont sell many. We flipped the box on its side and showed him the Harlem Gun Center sticker, and said you guys supplied all the guns for the raffle...how about a little more money since it was originally from here. He declined and said they wouldnt be able to sell it so 250 was the best offer, we walked out with the gun and never looked back. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Another choice of weapon to use hunting deer sounds great.. In a quick google trip, it seems that they are limited in their range, due to trajectory and adequate power to penetrate. Within their limited range(probably around archery ranges) why not? Sounds fun, if a person has the funds to buy one..Probably not a lot different than shooting a deer with many standard pistol cartridges. From my observations in the field the actual effectiveness of the weapon has very little to do with the number of wounded animal running around ,slowly dying , or already dead somewhere. I honestly believe that (at least where i hunt down state) there are as many ,if not more deer wounded then are ever tagged and brought home.. Very sad.. There aren't enough bears or coyotes in Letchworth park to eat the dead deer laying around as gifts. But that is a totally different subject..

Airguns in Bow Season..Can see it now. Who would ever know on private land? This will just make a crooks life much easier. Wonder if the state will add a tag so they make some extra cash?

How about this one growalot ?

Go Cowboys

Interesting thread, When I tell other hunters, especially the younger generation that my caliber is a 300savage. They all think i'm wrong and it's called a 300 Win Mag!! Just Love my old guns and calibers.

That's not saying much, I used to own two beagles who at their own feces. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I need to arrange my spoons tomorrow...or somethin...

Why not? Being a Bills fan is like hunting. We set the expectations high and then hope for the best.

Seriously, it's like Pavlov's dog.

I've been waiting for a golden crack at a red fox for some time now but never pulled the trigger since I didn't know what the hell I'd do with one. On 11-3-15 this dude came rolling by the stand at 8yds and I immediately knew I would come up with something.] He was originally supposed to be turned into a fuzzy trappers hat, but insteaed got sewed into a ML accessory pouch. I sewed a fleece liner and stitched it in the best I could. It ain't perfect, but it 's a great reminder of the quiet encounter.

SILENCE!!!!………I said... SILENCE!!!!!!!!!

RIGHT…but they post on the POLITICAL thread. No one is forced to look at or respond to the political thread. They choose to . They have already succeeded in having the political thread moved to where you have to look for it. Now they look for it, find it and complain about it. People insist on seeking out certain people and bashing them when they could quite easily just ignore them. Its an obvious play at bashing and attempting to silence opposing views. I really hope that the mods stay neutral and separate themselves from this B.S. and don't bend, any further, to a few bias whiners.

Hey ,,,I hear that Dick Cheney slapped a Redwood tree while on a baby seal clubbing trip sponcered by Halebertin. Any confirmation of that on "HEMP.COM" ??

I didn't receive any gifts hunting related, but when my son asked what I wanted a week before Christmas, my 6 year old daughter said "daddy wants a new gutting knife and new gun." I told my wife and son to ask my daughter from now on. lol

Knives he makes

It's VERY rare anyone pays much attention to stuff like that anymore unless it's announced on the daily news, or their rolling around in the bed of a pick-up with someone elses girlfriend,lol Be sure to bring your cats in and beware the wearwolves! WOOT-WOOT- OHHOOOOOO!!!

Thanks all! Now that I got a few deer carcasses located in good areas that haven't been hit yet, I might try to ZAP a few more furry fuzzys over them. I have a few more ideas in mind for some furbearer skins and I'm planning on putting some serious effort into predator hunting this winter. As always..., I'll lug the camera along for any necessary follow up shots!

I just wonder why NY would go this route and not suppressors like many other states have.

Yeah Larry, that sounds about right...2006 was when The Mermaid and I hooked up, and that was about the same time rifles were legalized here. You're right, it doesn't seem like ten years ago.

Other states legalized them for hunting. To each's own but they certainly do nothing for me.

I watched a good movie the other night - The Drop. The female lead is the same actress from the Dragon Tattoo movies. She is very different in this. I think you all would like it. It's a small scale crime drama with a twist. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1600196/?ref_=nv_sr_1

I doubt many women appreciate an appliance for a gift but my wife asked for one . She wanted a "Bobsweep" . It's a robotic sweeper that goes around vacuuming by itself . It is a self learning device that when the battery gets low , it goes back to it's docking station and recharges itself . Kinda neat and it gets up a lot of cat hair . Too bad that they don't make a larger one that would work in the lawn and sweep up the leaves . I just hope that the damned thing never learns to climb the stairs and open the bedroom door . My wife loves it . Happy wife , happy life ! http://www.amazon.com/bObsweep-PetHair-Robotic-Vacuum-Cleaner/dp/B00XBRYFVY

I'll be out tomorrow morning. Not hunting, but looking at a specific piece of land for sale with my Dad. The owner is going to walk is around the property. We'll see what we find.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It just kills me that the ones who whined the loudest, to have opposing views moved to a section that you have to now look for, now go out of their way to look for that section and now take it upon themselves to monitor it ….WHAT?? LOL!!!

Chucking up meats. Also with the right angle taking fat of off hides....he also makes fleshing tool remove fat off of hides....don't have a pic of them.

Those are sweet! I really like the primitive look to them. Polished flashy steel has never been my thing! I'll hook you up with some bone.

I love El Nino! I hope we never see another snow flake this winter!

go buy some winter rye, rape, and some med red clover. All three will germinate well if you kill vegitation and scratch up ground. All prefereed by deer. kill off vegitation in spring/summer and than plant mid to end of August.

Spend less on winter rye, and end up with more forage. JMO.
