My cousins wife was was lucky enough to draw a moose tag in zone 19. He was the sub. On our first afternoon, we called up this guy. It was incredible. We heard him grunting back at us a thrashing the brush as he came in. Alan dropped him at 70 yrds.

It's been a while since I have logged into HuntingNY and I just wanted to stop by and say Hello. Some might remember my previous posts about my canoe in wall tent deer camps up at Lows Lake. I did that 5 times, made a few videos and they where well received . I never did shoot a deer there, I tried but age had kinda slowed me down and just getting out there was rewarding enough. I'm lucky to have two sons who provide me with all the venison I want, which I eat once a week year round. Life thru me a couple of curve balls in recent years, I was diagnosed with bladder and prostrate cancer due to exposer to Agent Orange in Vietnam. The VA has done a great job of getting that all cleared up, but the radiation caused me to lose a lot of strength in my hamstrings, climbing a stairs is an ordeal, portaging my gear and setting up camp would be too much for me now. Hunting is pretty much a thing of the past. Besides the update and saying Hi, I want to remind all that getting your PSA checked yearly is really important, had the VA not checked mine regularly I would not be here today. I also would like to remind folks to get out there while you can, I'm glad I did. I'll include a few pics of my camp and a link to some videos. Good Luck this year and stay safe. Youtube channel, my last trip-

here is 2 reasons last 2 years..

She’s tired of his crap too..

Let me know when your ready to sell it. I know a tall, artificial seafood salesman that will pay top dollar for one

Dammit I was just typing this very same narrative

He gave me one tip; dont trust whores

Clearly a LOT of people feel that way! For me the seat is one of the things I love about the large Summits though.

Let one fly in the light rain in prep for the open(ing week)

I just remebered my goal. Post in the archery harvest thread before @Hock3y24 gets his fifth post in there. It won't be easy,but i feel ready for the challenge. I am with @turkeyfeathers,really feeling it this year. Might be my breakout year.

14 years is a long time for a woman to go without sex!

Im hunting the morning come hell or high water. Ive got a 6AM flight Wednesday morning so the evening is out. I cant be trusted to not shoot a doe and cant be running around getting it taken care of

I never trust a weather report a week ahead of time ,I'm not gonna start now.

I hate to see relationship crashes, as I've seen some ugly ones with friends and relatives over the years. But in this case I think it couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy!

Honestly the times I have killed more than 1 in a day I usually regret as it’s lots of butchering all at once. I am good with limiting myself to one deer in a hunt.

Yes I did. Three boxes shipped to me but all your names on them my adress! Sucks for you great for me!!! lol

Moussaka made with deer meat. Looks sloppy but tastes great!

I have a dog , he’s ok ...

I forgot to take my bow to shoot at lunch so I went for a small hike at Akron Park... beautiful day to boot

OK, not a trail cam pic. It was taken from the kitchen window. This fox went wherever he wanted to in the tree until he finally found an apple. Then it was down the tree and a mad dash to the woods. It would have made an unbelievable video, but alas, I wasn't prepared.

I'd take fri sat my self ,but best rule of thumb is if your off go hunting crazy things happen.

I was in the woods the other day looking for the first rub and to check the distance on a spot i might hide in at the edge of a field for the early days. I walked slow and scanned the area and all of a sudden there was movement 20 yds from me on the ground. I look and thought it was a squirrel at first and it turned out i was half right. It was a Fisher that popped out behind a fallen log and it had a dead grey squirrel in its mouth. Pretty cool sight,only my 2nd Fisher in the woods.

Nah they're skanks. And I'd hunt the whole world not just 3s so not to worry about that. Better off the way things worked out. Life would possibly become easier with that money but doesn't mean I'd be marrying my best friend and the one that makes me happiest in life like I plan to do in June. I've still got my secret recipe and I'm only 30 so there is still a long way to go left in this story. Who knows maybe I'll overtake that valuation on my own. Never know!

He reached out to me through the radio show on SiriusXM and then I just blew his shit off. Who knows it may have been even more. The way I saw it was he has 3 flavors mine would make 4. That would really be 25% but I decided at the time I wouldn't take anything less than 10% of the company and at the end of the day I just decided never to bother dealing with the guy. He was extremely interested but maybe due to immaturity, disdain for him and the product, or just stubbornness and possibly a bit of foolishness on my part I never bothered to deal with him any further. And now things are not nearly as comfortable as they could have been, but in the end I never would have met my fiance and future wife which would have been a real damper on my life, so in the end it all seems to work out somehow. Albeit with significantly less money in my bank account. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Yes both early october was 84 degrees the day I shot the 11pt. I was sweating and stunk so bad I could smell myself. Was actually hunting in tshirt with jacket open.

Thanks everyone. It weighed in at 801 lbs. Took us 3 hrs to rig up pulleys, ropes to the trucks and get him to the road. The blow downs and boulders slowed us down a lot. He took the first shot opportunity he had, and he wasn't coming any closer. We're still at it trying to get my buddies son a bull, but haven't seen or heard a thing. Getting back out shortly.

They can’t forecast yesterday’s weather correctly. Get in those trees !

Start saving now ,they charge a fortune for outdated technology.

wasting a day of vacation is going to pottery barn not bow hunting. Am taking an early vac day cause can only take so many days off in late Oct/early Nov without work thinking i won the lotto and sailed away. Not gonna take the first if it stays true to be 81 and stormy but wed or thurs if it drops 20 degrees i will be out.

Soaked some chicken thighs in buttermilk, then dry rubbed and baconized , bbq baked beans that fletch or crappyice post recipe for awhile back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome back, I wish for you a speedy and complete recovery. It's a reminder to us all how valued our lives are and the time we have here.... Best wishes, Dan

Hi and welcome back Robin! Count me as one who very much enjoyed your posts and video's too. Sorry to hear of your health issues. Less than two years ago I underwent bladder cancer surgery, and I'm still having some problems popping up. And I have lost a step or two since then. But still kicking! Your experience and advice is still greatly valued here sir. Hope to hear more from you! Thank you for your service, and welcome home my friend.

Robin, I fondly remember your posts and videos...I enjoyed them very much.. Sorry to hear about your health issues, but I am glad to hear that you are doing as well as you are...

YA ,the company called his bluff and ended up buying the recipe for KFC instead.

You SIR are as ELITE as they come!

No need to call me sir. That "Elite NY Hunter" title under my handle wasnt earned, it just shows up there automatically

Rats leaving a sinking ship ... hope it's the first of many .

I only need to get my backpack organized and go shopping for snacks for in the woods! Very pumped this season! I am really wanting to arrow something other than plastic antlers..lol

I just happen to have 29.5” mods just in case

I started using Milkweed last season, I still carry the powder in my pack. Not sure which I like better as the milkweed gets caught on branches to easily. Although it's very interesting to watch it as it makes its way through the woods. As for the prep, I am soo far behind this year. But I'm still a 10/15 guy and early bow is really dress rehearsal for me. I look forward to 10/31 through election day. Plus after looking at the weather for 10/1, 80 degrees and storms doesn't trip my trigger!

He looks...... well fed.

Yup another one ...

Sure. I never measure but here goes: First, peel 2 eggplant, slice in 1/2" thick rounds. Brush lightly with olive oil. season w salt & pepper. Place on a baking sheet, bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until slightly wilted. Meanwhile, brown off 1 lb ground lamb (or deer or ground beef), add 1/2 a diced onion, 3 seeded & chopped large tomatoes, chopped garlic, paprika, a little cinnamon, salt, & pepper. Cook down to a fairly thick sauce consistency, then add some currants, chopped mint, & chopped oregano, and a couple Tbsp of honey. Separately, make a cream (bechamel) sauce with 2 cups of milk, medium consistency. Let cool slightly, add 2 egg yolks & 5-6 oz of goat cheese, but don't heat the sauce back up. To assemble: In a 9" X 9" baking pan or casserole dish, add a layer of the meat sauce, a layer of grilled eggplant, meat sauce, eggplant, and rest of the meat sauce. Top with the white cheese sauce, sprinkle with parmesan, cover, bake 45 minutes @ 350, remove cover & bake 30 minutes more. Casserole should be brown on top & bubbly. Bon apetit!

Leftiris place is great Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice Chocolate Lab! My lab gets the job done.

Guess

Second archery season for me. Passed on 12 small bucks all inside 20 yards last year. Drew on only doe I had legit shot at and she busted me drawing. First decent buck or doe I have a good shot at will hopefully get deflated.

Well tomorrow I depart for my Maine Moose hunting adventure!!! it's unreal!!! Can't believe I even won a cow tag, let alone was able to trade it for a bull in a great area. Can't say enough good things about OMM outfitters and I haven't even left yet. This is truly a dream come true for me. Moose has always been my dream animal. Leaving the house around 3am tomorrow, should be about a 9 hour ride. Not sure what the cell service is gonna be like up there so unfortunately you guys might have to wait a week to hear about it. Thanks for all the support and I plan on taking LOTS of pics for everybody!!!
