Got it done during yesterday’s PM hunt in 9H with my buddy. Both deer dropped in their tracks at 120 yards! Shout out to Wolcott Guns for help with my new Vortex 4x scope! Good luck today! Dino sorry about sideways Picts.

Ok. We are ready. Come here Deer.

Cool, now for a mile long drag to parking area to gut! Courtesy of Rem 700 7mm-.08 with an assist by Beretta .45

Live from the blind. First hunting trip with my son. Keeping out of the wind.

Heading out for round two...thinking of sitting in the “Tower of Power”

I just wanted to share a little something that I aquired from my dad tonight. I don’t post much about smoking meats, and processing etc. partly due to the fact that my father, and I use venison for making homemade smoked snack sticks, home made smoked sausage, etc and how we both are not successful huntersas far as harvesting goes. Anyways, my grandpa grew up in PA near Lancaster, and was raised on the farm making home smoked, and cured meats, pickled foods, scrapple, and so on. These meat hooks were my dad’s great grandparents, and they used them to hang meat in their smokers. My dad has used a few of them over the years as well, and he gave me a couple that he used, in addition to a few he has not used. These may not look like much, but these are unbelievably meaningful, and I cannot be happier to display them in my home. I just wanted to share, dad says they have to be over a hundred years old.

Just shot doe, waiting for it to die

I remember an article where the guy suggested you count the piles of deer poop on your property and spray paint them. Then do the same thing three days later so you know which ones are new. He had some calculation for how many times a deer poops a day or something so you could do the math and get a count. It was maybe the dumbest thing I ever read in my life. And now you’re all dumber for having heard about it and for that I apologize. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Well my season is done and i hope everyone with tags left gets a chance to fill them. Im moving into my house this weekend. Took 10 years of blood sweat and tears to get to this point. so i will be ok not filling any tags and missing the last weekend. Good luck to those going out.

Time for some coffee....then paint the snow red with giants blood.... Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I got out for a little bit today, had this big boy swoop in and land near me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Found him trapped in a big pine log so I grabbed the chainsaw and set him free! I'll clean him up today and give him a quick grooming before he gets his hair and nails done.

Sitting with my 10 yr old. The plan was to be in my shadow hunter blind with a heater available and good windows but he decided to be afraid to climb the ladder today. So we are in a half ass ground blind that has no heat or windows. I hope he can hold out for a while.

Well, I couldn’t get it done this season. Here’s my recipie: 1 Cup of Tinks 69 3 Cups of Kids 1/2 Cup of Pregnant Wife 1/2 Cup of Work 2 Tbsp of OT Work 2 Tbsp of Family Activities in the off Season 1 Tbsp of Soccer 1 Tsp of The Unexpected Combine ingredients in large pot with unused big game tags. Simmer on low heat for 6 weeks, stirring occasionally. Garnish with a touch of disappointment and serve lukewarm.

Eff that it's cold out.

My friends and family know if I’m later than the time I said I’d arrive there’s something seriously wrong. A trait my dad taught me. Don’t think I’ve ever been late to work in 30 years.

Man I am dog tired just got to the truck. I been walking all day. My still hunting is rusty. I put up 5 diff deer and never saw any. Nor did they head towards the BIL. Lovely day I’ll sleep like the dead tonight! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How about a 2.5 year old next to dandy of a rub! Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

Wishing a very, very warm 'Thank you!' to TF for this awesome beer mail assortment. After a long week, this was a real pleasure to unwrap. It's like the 12 Days of Beer Christmas all in one! All brews are new to me so this should be fun. The Westbrook Mexican Cake is one I've been trying to find locally with no success.

The rule is if your happy with buck you can shoot it. Dont compliance if someone shoots something bigger. I have one guy that use to shoot 1st legal buck he saw,after 5 or 6 years of that he decided to wait for a 2 year old. He took one.. he now waits for 3 year old and older.. it's a natural evolution. I also have an elderly hunter who always waited for nice buck. He now Shoots 1st legal buck he has chance at in gun..as it maybe last one he ever takes..though he still is picky in bow season.. they are happy makes me happy seeing people happy. It's a fun layed back. Camp and the comroderie is a lot of fun. I should of also added 1 bear and 2 coyotes this year as well 1st time ever with 2 coyotes..

I'm heading out now. Not really sure why. I guess it's just part of who I am. Season is coming to a close. And I have to wait a whole year to hunt these beautiful animals again.

Wrapped up the Doberman,lol

Well saw 5 doe. Most of them at 200plus yards and one at 70 or so with no lane to shoot. Fun time with the kiddo.

Sat till noon. Saw one big doe on the way out, couldn't hold steady on her as I was shivering, and she kept moving. Home warming up now. Not feeling my best. Will give it another try tomorrow. Did find some fresh rubs and a scrape. Deer might move today before dark. But I got too cold to wait em out. Thinking about dusting off the old TC Thunderhawk Shadow, for next weekend!

Natalie and I heading out for one final sit. Hope the 6.8 barks!

Back in, no sightings for either of us. Brought in 2 cams, the one in my foodplot had a ton of pics. That pic of the doe is the most impressive, what a tank!

Yes yes! Captain tetanus hook!

Wow some of you have low populations! Here in Suffolk we have many, very high population areas. I did all public this year, some properties simply have much more deer than others. I estimate 35-70 per square mile in some high area's I hunt. It is rare that I do not see deer every outing, this year my opening day was the only day I saw none and it was a lower population area. Often the properties I hunt have at least 30 plus deer in the area of 400 acers, we do a good dent to the population in these areas but outside where private properties are located holds even more deer. I would second that vote for G-Man. Making your habitat suitable and preferred for deer is key to having a good deer population, all my hunting friends who do this have really good success. Like this one.

I’m laying in a comfy hotel bed waiting for the girls to get ready for today’s NYC adventures wish I could be out there with you guys. Heading for a highly recommend bagel then to ground zero. Stack me up boys! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

9 Deg here and beautiful Sent from my LG-US998 using Tapatalk

Beautiful morning, no wind. Seems like a great day to shoot a doe. Or better yet my brother in law can get a buck.

I need new hunting partners .

I am in the same boat. I really need to look into a game ear, or hearing aids.

So, I get up this morning, head to one of my spots ( knowing it's mainly still under water, meaning a lot of ice, but one always has to try ), after not breaking my neck on the ice in some areas walking in before dawn, I take a seat until it gets light. Then I ease my way back out and head for home. I stop to get a coffee to warm up, and while getting the coffee I decide I'm not bailing on the day, and decide to hit another public spot to do some still hunting. Usual slow walk up the mountain, a few steps, look for a while, repeat. I get to the top, and start my slow circle around an open area doing the same, a few steps, look for a while, move. I get about half way around the open area, I look around for some time, and in this area, I always spend more time looking then walking, at least it seems like that to me. I decide to try and get a video clip of the area, I reach in my pocket for my phone and a Doe jumps and bolts from my left into the thick and nasty. I had no shot even if I dropped the phone. Also, I do not shoot at running deer! Period! I looked that area over very closely, I never saw her laying in the med brush, she didn't even twitch. So just remember folks, when still hunting, if you think it's OK to move, take a few more minutes and look closer!

I was using the Hawaiian girth chart. Must be more like NY whitetail than PA. By the way, they also sell meat there by the cubic foot due the water retention issues noted by Wolc.

I had to watch it to hear some metalica , your welcome.

Hello everyone, it has been a tough season so far in the 3A management unit area where my family hunts. I was fortunate to get this 8 pointer and document the memory on film. Thanks for watching and good luck with the rest of the season! https://youtu.be/YqIktCZ-4UU

Harvested the tree, hung some lights, sprint to my 3S spot with my partner and bows. 2 sets of 2 does came by on the wrong side- walking, walking, walking....right to my scent cone- halt! About face! Hunt over! Would have been sweet to hang a tree and a doe in the same day! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fine.......gosh ....

I have tags, I don’t even have a stand up at my place, the Amish got dropped off this morning, got the deer moving. Saw more this morning than I’ve seen in a month, glad to see that deers still around.

Have a pretty good feeling you got it tomorrow. My Biz like prediction. We saw more on way home from grabbing a bite to eat.
