Picked up my mount last night.Definately was worth the wait. I call him my Hole in the Horn Buck after that famous Buck from Ohio.

We were out doing our last set up checks. Found this. Anyone else find any yet?

Always fun to take my wife out for a little preseason freezer filling adventure. We were covered up in deer for the past couple of evenings including several nice bucks that would have been in trouble had it been November. Can't wait to get back out thursday! Sent from my SM-S767VL using Tapatalk

Progress.

Took it apart on the truck, pulled 164 nails (not OCD, just kept count as I went). Screwed it back together in the garage (no, didn’t keep track of screws - lots), roughed out ports, and did a cobb job with the door panel and some hardware I had laying around. Got some white oil base primer and will paint flat gray to finish. Neighbor will do a backyard spray camo job after it’s painted. Might make some sliding plywood panels to cover the windows just to get through this year, and I still have to come up with a roof idea. Some framing work and a carpet and should be good to go.

I posted this on FB last night....Seriously, I’m not into drama. Someone mentioned me being an essential worker, and after thinking about it, I’m going to consider myself one. What‘s the difference between me and a store employee? Nothing....we’re both supplying food. I’m open for business.

That's an interesting way to catch deer.

Kunox knows today is the bow opener!

Can’t confirm, but heard from a pretty reliable source today, that the DEC is evaluating Stewart forest , for whether or not to allow deer hunting this year. That would be a great help to the herd there!

Our tracking season cannot start until October 6. I spent a couple weeks hunting in Idaho and I’ve have to quarantine for two weeks upon returning. The Health Department had screeners as I got off the plane in Syracuse, and they now text me every day. I’ve had to turn down three bear tracks so far and it’s killing me! Since the state issues my tracking license, I’m not taking any chances and will wait this out.

Hung this bad boy up today. No more pulling a rope to hoist up deer. Rope and pulley worked great for years but we were all ready for something easier. Picked it up at harbor freight for 99$. 440 pound capacity, should work great for deer. Although the first one i bought was faulty and i needed to exchange it.

It is going to be a war zone this year.

It sounds like versatile likes her. Speaking of talented women, Trump's new Supreme court justice seems to be very good. I especially like her strong Christian values, which should help out immensely with overturning Roe vs Wade. It is hard to imagine a better pick and it is totally awesome that there is not a damn thing that the misguided atheist Democrats can do to stop it.

Picked up one of these HME practice hangers from Amazon earlier in the summer, it has worked out well, it is solid and light weight so it is easy to move around and sells for $35. Slung a few out of the Oneida Eagle this afternoon and have to say this bow is really growing on me, likes the old Easton XX75s and lays them in there pretty well. Al

I haven’t seen one loaded. Most where I hunt are barren to mostly barren. That goes for all species on multiple farms in Orange co.

Humbling is a good term for sporting clays, Mike... I shot my first round up at Rochester Brooks a few years back I considered myself a better than average wingshot on game, and I had burned a few 50 straights at skeet and done fairly well at trap.. I walked off the course with my dick in the dirt...

PROOF of the GOOSE ! You left and my wife asked what kind of name is "the goose" lol. That girl you were with is something else.... Have had many interactions with her and it's always memorable..... Great to see you though ! Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

Kill that mofo.

Just had a Treeguy sighting at the Goat. He caught me as I was walking out; my wife and I had dinner with a [much younger] couple who are friends of ours. Funniest part was when Andrew asked if she [our female friend] was my wife, and her husband of less than a week said "I wish!"! Andrew had me take a selfie with him so he'd have proof of life photo.

@SportsmanNH yup all the creature comforts ha. My son owns his own construction company and told me he was going to do some siding and windows I got home to find insulation Wiring. I think he knows it’s going to be his one day so I really can’t complain I think it would be nice to have heat and electric at some point considering I said up there in a ground blind for 5 years before we put the building up. I told my son after I saw this that we might as well finish the bottom at some point with some beds and kitchen area. Stay in the bottom hunt in the top won’t have to leave for the whole season we can FaceTime with the wives if they like but they’re not allowed out there.

Right on the Money ....

Went to the range yesterday afternoon and confirmed my thermal's are all sighted in and ready to go. All thermal and NV spotters too, plus checked my E caller and even practiced with the reed calls on the way back down from the range. Batteries charged, magazines loaded and I'm even gonna load some extra rounds during the week. Going to get my hunting license today and do some interweb searching for a foxpro fusion caller, as I'm in need of a caller upgrade and I like the bigger screen of the TX1000 controller better than the TX9 wildfire controller. With the fusion, you can program call sequences and focus on looking for prey, not worrying about the caller. Looking to take Friday off from work and head upstate Thursday PM and get down to business right away. Remember that the season starts after sunrise on the 1st, not midnight. Good luck. SJC

Shipping crate that I grabbed from work. It would have been discarded, so I discarded it right into the back of my truck. Just what I needed, a deer blind project days before deer season.

It sounds like you have to excellent places to hunt, I wouldn't sweat it too much, just think about the wind and go with your gut feeling. But most importantly, have fun and enjoy the hunt.

Is it every other year for whites? I always heard a few bumper years followed by a down year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They? As in the thieves? I dont expect them to read it here. It's "general chit chat" though. Just ranting some today about the general stupidity and short sightedness of some of our fellow NYers. And how business gets taken care of in rural CNY when you screw with honest hardworking people. Cuomo's bail reform isn't going to apply in this case of larceny lol.

I was out back practicing trap bedding it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. One thing for sure I’m getting a set of trap setters my wrist are shot for that. I used a duke trap,but on the line I’m using mb550’s just didn’t want to mess with the wax also I’m going to use pipe insulation under the pan. I have three spots picked out on my property one is going to be a dirt hole,flat and a step down set. Going with yote pee to hopefully keep the fox and cat away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If ether of you want it i'm heading up to my house tuesday and coming back sunday.I can meet up with Bill some time while i'm up there and grab it for you just let me know.He's only two exits from me.

Sounds like a late hatch, Bill...The poults I have seen in the last 2-3 weeks have been nearly as big as their mother.... Glad to hear you are finally seeing some..

If EHD was around one of the properties I hunt in 3S it would come from here. This pond is down a ton of water and was swampy as hell. Thankfully no dead deer found or smelt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ours is ready, rain x the outside windows and rain x anti fog on the inside! Also nailed some dead branches to the outside to help blend it in.

Oh yeah.

Appetizer for 2 please.

Looks 58 for the high Friday winds 5-10 wsw direction. Can't wait to be sitting in a tree with these colors. Therapy season is almost here.

The biggest rack I ever saw, including on tv, was on Burma rd coming back from the inlet late one night a few years back. We were driving along and this guy popped his head up about 7-8 yards from the truck. I counted 14 points with more to go when he turned and disappeared. The North shore has monsters, too. My friends kid shot this one 3 years ago in NIssequogue.

My lineup for tonight. So much cheaper than going to bar. Plus covid has a lot of places closed early here in Maine. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

The biggest obstacle preventing Biden from winning the Presidency is his turning his back on his Christian faith, as displayed by his VP pick. She is widely regarded as the most pro abortion member of Congres, supporting even those in late term. The reason that misscalculation is holding him back, is that roughly 3/4 of US voters identify as Christian. When you add those of the Jewish faith, the numbers look even worse for him. Each of those Faith's share the "thou shall not kill" commandment. Both faiths teach that new life begins at conception, which can also be simply shown scientifically (half of the DNA in a 2 cell embryo is from the father and the other half from the mother, making him/her "new"). This country was founded on Judeo Christian principles. Are you also opposed to "In God we trust" on our currency ?

Same here. Last year they were loaded, this year not so much.
