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.

New Hoyt Hyperforce vs 1999 Hoyt Striker. How things have changed in 20 years.

Give him the credit he deserves. Hes a POS all on his own. Lol

Going to be a great sound bite if he ever runs for national office.

You also left out the air horn on opening weekend...lol.

Hi they go for around $15000- 25000 depending on availability and area

Don't be so quick to kill the dandelions, I've seen deer go through my yard eating one after another of the yellow flowers.

Just went by. Not too bad, the field closest to the river is half flooded, nothing bad by the buildings except some ponding. I've seen it much worse. Dodged a bullet in this area.

appreciate that. I'll let you know.

That's a hot one. Hopefully you don't end up with a new fence.

i never get wound up for season its a lot of workand wasted energy. deer are plentiful and easy to get. i only get excited to see someone else get something it seems anymore. my days of not being able to sleep are long gone. im more excited when it rains and we try someplace new for food...

I’ve been a .308 or 06 guy more less, but not for any real ballistic reasons. Mostly just because of ease finding ammo/good deals. Currently carrying a .308 scout gun, but I’ve seriously thought about adding an iron sight .30-30 for fun/tradition/weight. Also occasionally thought about a .300 win mag or wby, but I’d probably wait for a western hunt and swap my 06 for it. More boom than I personally need in the Adks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
