I was fortunate enough to harvest one during the antlerless season. 8G. This stateland certainly got some pressure last week

Was out with my Brother moving, swapping hanging new stands today. Came across this rub. Put up a few new Muddy and big game 18' stands. Really went up nice and very sturdy. Nothing like a new stand! lol

The Good Lord blessed me with a fat mature doe at 2 minutes past sunset this evening. Beat the buzzer by 28 minutes. I’m lovin this early antlerless gun season. Takes most of the “meat” pressure off for the remainder of the seasons this year.

First time hearing about this too. The purple paint will help with the ya-hoo's ripping down the signs we tack up. But outside of us actually standing there. The scumbags will continue to trespass.

Frustrating to see these guys walk past my office window yet are no where to be found in may.

They found the missing Jet .

Out again this morning. It was Gunner's turn today and he shined retrieving every bird from the water. We are having a great time this September.

Back out this morning. Today we had the pleasure of bringing along 2 new goose hunters and it was a shoot em up day. Total take was 35 birds. Pic is of my son and me and of course my dog Waylon. It is a great reward bringing out new hunters and having them enjoy a good hunt with us.

Again, totally predictable (and call me a conspiracy theorist, but likely planned or at least anticipated)outcome. A-hole sheep keep voting for those who see to strip us of our American birth rights. Just the tip of the iceberg, of what is in store for us. When will people see, their plan has nothing to do with hunting?

Hey they shot pretty good. Here is a group at 20 yards.

Outdated story - The sponsor of the "purple paint" bill, Senator Seward served from January 2003 - December 2020. The bill, however, is currently sitting in Senate committee. https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2023/A3661

Spent a fun Sunday afternoon with an old shootin Buddy Tim Findlay breaking in the refurbed range. Tim brought over two new firearms to test and sight, a Sig Sauer 938 9mm and an absolutely gorgeous Winchester Low Wall Single Shot 223. I was shooting my old Winchester Model 52 bench gun 22 and the Christensen Arms Ranger 22 that I have just upgraded the trigger on with a Timney Hit Trigger and man it is nice. After working my ass off around here all summer it sure was great to have some fun. Al Some pics below, Tim with his Winchester Low Wall , the Sig 938, the Model 52 and the Ranger.

And I'm sure lots of people will claim ignorance and for a couple yrs, all the scum will be given is a warning because the law is too new.

Never heard of it either, if established and being well known as a law it sure would be a heck of a lot easier than tacking up signs. Al

With a good dog, Pheasants are child's play anywhere. As you know, Turkey hunting takes a lot of recon no matter where you hunt, but I find the birds in aisle 8 taste the best. SJC

Me along with one of my Sons and buddy Tim got at it again yesterday. Tim had his Low Wall 223 again with some new loads, my Son Mike shot his 1895 High Wall 45-70 and I brough out the Thompson Center Encore with the 458 Win Mag barrel and the new Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 6.5 PRC. The Caldwell Lead Sled with 50 lbs of lead shot holding her down earned it's keep, Son's 45-70 with curved metal buttplate and stiff handloads and that light Encore 458 mag had their recoil tamed down, both are brutal from the bench off regular bags. Got the 6.5 PRC sighted in with the handloaded 123 gr Hornady SSTs and even with that pencil thin barrel it shot great, I am more than pleased. It was a good day. Al

What is not to like on this one? Great family participation, some actual hunting for a change and not sitting in some tree house or stand with all the comforts of home. Woolrich PA tuxedos, Savage 99s, Bean Boots, Mannlicher stocked rifles. Good job Tim. Al

Nice . This showed up past weekend while out shed- deer hunting.

When your target buck pays off the beaver ...........

Anyone with experience in the shooting sports knows fully well that accuracy guarantees have to be taken with a grain of salt. There are just way too many variables, barrels, triggers, bedding, bullets, powder charges, optics, weather conditions, just to name a few. There are some manufacturers that do get most of their ducks in a row when it comes to build quality. What stood out for me with the CVA Cascade was not the company's sales pitch, it was the many videos and articles of owners actually testing the rifles and getting super performance and raving about it, I have yet to read anything really negative. I believe even the guy in the video above shot a Cascade and gave it a thumbs up. On the other hand I have seen many reviews of so called sub minute guaranteed rifles not do so well. I have my own criteria for accuracy and group my rifles in categories as to what their purpose is. Target rifles, Varmint rifles with heavy barrels, Varmint rifles with sporter barrels, Big game hunting rifles and Plinkers they all have different requirements in the accuracy department as far as grouping goes.

Put one of those aluminum arrows with a good razor head into a Deer's boiler room and you will have a dead one. I have aluminums, carbons, cedars and even a few old fiberglass, match them to your bow and they will all shoot good hunting groups and get the job done as long as the hunter does their part. Al

This is the form to obtain an unmodified crossbow permit during regular archery season for hunters with a disability.

We have several ways to support a deer. Show a couple. Any one of them could be used depending on weather conditions.

Our morning take today. As you can see it was Waylon's turn today.

I butcher most of them in our insulated stage. I like to use a cheap little 4:1 block and tackle for most deer or a small come a long for those much over 150 lbs field dressed: I kind of like butchering but only if I can take my time and just do one at a time. I really like this antlerless gun season. I spent about (3) hours trimming every last tender morsel off of that little “fatted calf” yesterday evening. Had to get that deer fridge cleared for hopefully a nice grinder doe this weekend.

Took out a few of the rats that would not stay out of the new seeding Wheat field.

I found the savage in 350legend out of the box a 1mao using federal factory ammo.. just got lucky i guess

Buck wanted a close-up

I'm not shooting any Remington ammo in any gun, tried in 3 different guns, 3 different Core Lokt ammo, everyone one of them was garbage. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I wonder with NY if they can no longer send ammo because of the background check requirement

Another good reason ( among many) to load your own ammo.

I just have a rope pulley in my shed that I've used for years. I find it allows me to hoist a deer by myself easy enough, though it does have a lot of rope to wrap up when I use it. I just hang my deer for a while then take it to the butcher close by. He de-bones all the cuts and vacuum wraps everything real good in clear plastic so it doesn't get freezer burn even if it's in the freezer for a year. For $100, I have too many other things I'd rather do during the hunting season then spend time butchering deer anymore. I used to take me at least 6 hours to do it all myself and I don't have the vacuum sealer and plastic bags, so I just let him do it while I continue to hunt or relax.

Hands down the best solution

actually the habitat isn't like the adirondacks at all.. not nearly as vast.
