Finally made some meat. Good size doe. Ran into a a good buck too. Darned property lines.

Live from the office. Just settled one of the most contentious lawsuits I ever handled between some very well heeled farmers. My client's holdings just grew from 5300 acres to 6300 acres. I wonder if he has a spot I can throw a stand up. lol

Got one!!!! It’s a small, should I let that spot rest or reset? I thought it knocked the trap over until I pulled it out of the water surprised is an understatement. Thanks to you and everyone else that gave me advice [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was walking out to a point that goes out into a pond . Looked around didn't see anything . Thought this is the best time to pee . Put my gun down unbutton my pants pulled them down and a buck jumped up out from behind a brush pile . Scared the pee right out of me . Lolol

The best part is your seeing bucks during gun season! Which is more than a lot of us "seasoned" hunters can say. The more opportunities the better chance to fill out a tag. Sounds like however your hunting your doing it right if your seeing them just haven't sealed the deal yet. Good luck.

I did!!! Not the best pics, I didn’t take any before putting them on the wall. I plan on pulling them down over the Christmas break and measuring them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hunted my SIL's property with my oldest son this afternoon . The only deer I saw was 3 that we spooked out of the gully . I heard a shot at 3:30 and my son said 7 or 8 deer came down through the fiels and he shot at a buck . He waited a bit and then shot a doe . Another double . We were able to quit early . Next up will be an afternoon hunt with my youngest son . So far we have gotten 3 bucks and 3 doe off that property . Life is Good !

$65 this year.. I thought it was a bit pricey I felt like last year was 50? We have alot of fun cutting it down and enjoy the tradition. Also I like supporting the local tree farm.

Backstraps are the best part by far. Salt & pepper and sit out until room temp. Then grilled quick & hot. Amazing. If the whole deer was backstraps I’d shoot does in December. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Iv said it a thousand times…if you’re not making corned venison, you should start!

Slow cams, high winds, chance of rain… screw it… I’m going hunting.

Went short this year. 12’ down to 7.5’ with 2 missing sections. But it works.

The Queen’s birthday dinner. @crappyice inner loins. One pan seared in salt, pepper, garlic and butter the other grilled both topped with sautéed onions and served with a side of Parmesan ranch potatoes and French cut green beans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doing our tree on Sunday, so no pics yet. But my daughter loves the neighbors inflatable decorations. So my wife said if we buy 3, I don’t have to do lights. Best $ I ever spent. They all setup, staked, timer, taped, in 30min. And I’m done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Picker her up today from a tree farm in Livonia. She doesn’t look big and wide but she is 10ft tall!! She has over 1200 lights! Couldn’t resist another buck rub special for the living room!!

Decided to go to a stand after all. Big oak that’s not budging in the wind. Doesn’t appear to be any dead branches anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They take them to processors that are in the venison donation program

Lawdwaz - here are the pics . It's real muddy down near the thickets and woods . The water doesn't run off .

To have friends like these that are willing to come and enjoy a once in a lifetime buck on stateland. Pictures of them with me means more than a picture with the buck I shot. I'll be framing this picture and it'll be next to the buck when I get him back.

I believe he’s not far from me, Canandaigua area . There’s loads of deer, but spotty ,as many know I have herds of them in summer but they’ve been leaving in Sept. the last two years , the farmer shot a nice buck a mile and a half or so from me, it was one of ten bucks he saw that sit, while I shot the first one I saw 8 days in . There’s been a number of nice bucks taken in the area this year . It’s also believed once pressure steps up many move closer to houses and to,town the cemetery gets loaded with them . Taking daughter #1 back out Sat. Canning this guy tomorrow.

Thanks Larry. Client is very happy. Been a long time coming. Maybe now I will actually get out one of these days before gun season ends.

Not from the woods but took 43 pounds of meet to costanzas today. They are shooting for early January to be done.

I would like to keep politics out of hunting as well, but as we can see, politicians refuse to keep their noses out of hunting.

When we push we have the shooters either in tree stands or sitting up on ladders. Shooting at a downward angle in safe directions is the only way we do it. Plus we do slow moving pushes, more of a wind bump scenario not guys arm width apart yelling and clapping.

You ever notice their “science “goes out the door when it comes to Wildlife management?

What's in the book is that Trump tested positive before the debate. The book neglects to tell us Trump demanded a 2nd test. The 2nd test came back negative. It may have been an attempt to keep Trump from the debate. Does anyone believe anyone would've let Trump go on the debate stage if he tested positive? It would have been the talk of the day and the left would've screamed to high heaven to stop the debate. Trump didn't control the tests or the people taking them. The length of time between the debate and Trump having the virus indicates he was infected after the debate. The left is spreading rumors based on hearsay trying to keep us distracted from the disaster that is Joe Biden and this administration. It has taken them a year to come up with this ploy. The lying leftists are the schit in this bowl.

Same tree for 20 years but it still looks good. We keep it trimmed and watered religiously. The only thing that has changed is the wall behind it.

Honestly I don't feel like hunting , haven't really for years, more fun watching nephews and friends kids hunt. I still hunt but only when I feel like it which is not in rain, snow, cold ,or wind... lol

Have the day off to buck bow hunt in 3S. 702am sunrise, light rain now. Should stop by 8-ish. 39 degrees climbing to 53 later. With the elusive south wind! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Good to know. Just picked up some 8x42mm Vortex glass from amazon. Ya'll are a wealth of information! Becoming a proficient hunter is not easy when your only mentor is google....

Optics do gather more light so they do make it easier to see when it is getting dark. A good set of binocs are worth their weight in gold. But a good set doesn't have to cost a fortune. Good binocs can be had for $200. Study the details about binocs to learn what you want and need. I have found 8x40mm binocs to be perfect for hunting in NY where your shots will be 300 yards or less. Plenty of magnification to check out antlers and plenty of front lens to gather enough light to see at dawn or dusk.

You shouldn't look through your scope to identify what an object is. What if said black moving object was a person wearing dark clothing now you have them in your crosshairs

I’ve spooked plenty of deer, happens to everyone. The biggest concern I have isn’t that it’s a head on shot, but that it’s dark and you can barely see. Remember that seeing your target is only part of it, you have to be able to see what is in front of and beyond it. Keep at it, it sounds like your doing well for your 2nd year in.

Olive garden Italian dressing marinaded Cubed steaks from half of beef I bought locally. Seasoned chopped potatoes and broccoli and cheese. Turned out great. One kid ate 2 steaks lol unusual.

Cream of mushroom and pepper jack cheese pork chops and potatoes and onions and beets and homemade jalapeno poppers. Ceasar salad on side.

So I shot a nice buck at bow season and we took 4 buck and two doe on opening day. I came up this weekend to get the meat and pretty much just walk around and enjoy the outdoors. I did have a doe permit left. Had a couple of chances but didn't shoot. I left the woods thanking for the harvest. I left this morning around 9:10 and as a drove by my neighbor he was just heading down to woods. We talked for a while I left. Timing is everything. Just before exit 39 Bath I see a guy in the right lane waving me down. Blood on his face. I pulled over and saw his car windshield crushed. There was Mom Dad and two toddlers and a baby. I immediately called 911. They spoke broken english. Dad was pretty cut up and everyone else had blood on them. Two other people stoped and I think one was an Off duty police officer. We aided the family and got them out of the car and into a warm truck. Not much english spoken and I held the 4 year old boy for 15 minutes. He kept on telling me get the yukies off of me. That was the blood from deer and dad. I took him to my truck and had wipes when he saw my dog he was happy. Sherif was grateful and I left. Hope they are ok. Life can change in a second! . .

I don't want to hunt with a group of people I don't know . Muzzleloader one shot one kill make it count versus spray and pray. 150 yds too 200 versus 4 or 500 yds travel . Just my personal feelings about driving.

Some on this forum need a 3 inch vaccine needle in their a$$ to cure their paranoia nevermind COVID.

I'm still waitin on the first...lol. Have only seen 3 deer this year (shot 1). All does. Very unlike my area. Last year opening day gun saw approx 14 deer. bewildered. And am up with puppies at 5 am every morning so have been hunting more than I usually get to. bewildered and stumped. have yet to see a buck while hunting. disappointing season for bucks for me in my area for some reason.

I’m not grouse but ....I use dmp for the meat ,while trying to hold out for a mature buck instead of taking the first immature buck that strolls through ,just for meat .

Yay, another thread to argue about the vaccine. Isn't the other one enough for cripes sake.

Given the therapeutics that are in the pipeline, the need for the vaccines will soon be moot.

Man, this thread is like my date with Mary Ann Magillitcutty in the ninth grade. One very long tease and when I finally got her sweater off ... "is that all there is?"
