[Coyote and some Fawns]

very nice pair. great setting.

[Big bear and a nice buck!]

nice looking young buck. keep an eye on him.

[Few from the Adirondacks]

good work; keep em coming.

[July 6th Trail cam Pics]

very nice tall rack. great catches!

[New Yorks Latest Crossbow Legislation News]

I don't see the allowance for senior or disabled only - either it is archery equipment and should be open to all in bow season or it is not and shouldn't be. My believe has changed in the last 4 or 5 years from no crossbows to full inclusion - and I hunt with a recurve.

All bows in bow season.

All guns in gun season.

the words of an unselfish hunter. we need more like you.

[wild eye Owl]

checked the S600 homebrew cam monday placed on one of my water sets, and there wasn't much on it except for this early bird catching the grub.

[Eat your breakfast.....]

looks lush; good job. should draw em.

[turkey attack]

almost any wild animal can do harm. it's a tough world out there and only the very tough survive. a turkey is a big strong bird.

glad your decision came out ok.

[Trophy Cam on the marsh]

i dont mean to ask a stupid question and am by no means accusing you of anything...but how exactly do you get so many different animals in front of the cam for those shots...i put up cams for weeks at a time and get plenty of shots but nothing that compares to those. it looks like they are posing...

your question: "stupid" ? no, but could be ignorrant of what is possible when you work very hard at something. Like hunting trailcaming to a high level involves lots of scouting and looking for where the animals are. Not places where travel is random, but locating places where animal travel is routine.

I spend hours looking for these spots and when you place a cam there you will normally get lots of pictures of animals in their routines. I concentrate my efforts around water sources where animals make a habit of being there.

Placing a camera just off the bank of these water sources like I did in this post will result in lots of pictures of bucks that look like their "posing for the camera" as you mentioned.

here are some examples of that and other pics that I have gotten around water:

[Trophy Cam on the marsh]

the latest pull from a new set: (Bushnell Trophy cam)

[A good morning for buck pics...]

excellent

[woods and water (June)]

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. BTW what's a "home brew trailcam"? Did you build your own?

thanks all. yes, "homebrews" are trailcams made from digital cameras which are "hacked" and wired to a control board / motion sensor and then the works are inside a weather resistant case. They do tend to make a trailcamer look good.

good eye Cynthia. yes that heron has some green on the left leg that resembles a wrap. don't know if it has an injury of some kind, picked up some vege, or maybe saw a trainer and the wrap then turned green.

[woods and water (June)]

I collected these a few weeks ago with "homebrew" trailcams.

[Pieball Fawn and a decent buck]

am I missing something here. "little buck"? I can't tell.

cute little animal regardless of the sex, and congrats on a very nice catch!

[Biggest buck so far...]

yes the latest antler growth appears to be random and who knows how this buck will turn out. looks like a dandy of an animal regardless.

hope to see more of the progression. keep us posted, thanks.

[bow season opener on oct 1?]

So, please explain the personal experiences that you have had that has lead you to this "elitism" claim. And by the way, I would love to see documentation on your claim about "Thousands of sane hunters". That's an easy thing to say, but saying it doesn't necessarily make it so, does it?

Did I read that correctly? 1st, you call others differing opinion "mindless". next you ask for documentation of sane hunters?

[bow season opener on oct 1?]

I will not be responsing to every mindless unsubstantiated outburst against the NYB.

Thousands of sane hunters share the view that the NYB have elitism at their very core.

For you to call those having this opinion "mindless" exposes the fact that this obvious truth has caused you to lose your head over this issue. Now one could also say that one resorting to such a desparate action in a simple debate is indeed "mindless".

[bow season opener on oct 1?]

I live to bowhunt. I have bowhunted all over the country and have lived and bowhunted New York state for 30 years; nothern and southern zone.

As far as the NYB goes, they can take their elitist ideology and shove it up their elitist rear end!

[creek cam June]

caught these late May early June:

[Two different cams about 100 yards apart]

establish a doe route and wait till Novenmber.

[Too many legs]

yep, nice catch on the little one

[bow season opener on oct 1?]

Oct 1st start is long overdue. Most other nothern states have had this for years. I don't plan my hunts based on weather as I have commonly seen 40 degree temps in Sept and 80 degree in Nov.

Bucks are more predictable early and anyone that lets bugs bother them is technology challenged.

[U.F.O. sighting?]

Also, Here's a true, no myth or mystery, undeniable UFO from one of our fellow members trail cams. A true Unidentified Flabby Object..

the 1st pic was fine, but now the 2nd? well that's just blatant thread hijacking and very uncalled for.

[U.F.O. sighting?]

sky have you posted one before also with a raccoon?

yep, last year with the coon looking in the direction of the "craft".

the only explanation I have is that either racoons are their favorite abducties, or maybe the coons are the aliens "masking" their true appearance while they spy on the earthlings.

[U.F.O. sighting?]

another flying saucer almost went undetected.
