    Think about how many more cats there could be be if we got rid of the turkeys....
  4. Versatile_Hunter
    I thought the wink would keep you from being thrown off... I guess technically an outdoor cat but yes not what we were discussing. Cool pic though!

    This one ain't eating Eukanuba But yeah, I do see them in the CATskills near where I hunt. They are an actual problem: https://abcbirds.org/article/outdoor-cats-single-greatest-source-of-human-caused-mortality-for-birds-and-mammals-says-new-study/

    Yes, habitat remains the #1 issue across the board. Give them land (managed for young forests for feed, nesting) and they'll be robust to the challenges you mention. 'Till then, ban outdoor cats... and sure, restrict crossbows for the incapacitated.

    Outdoor cats.

    Mine too, but it's my first year using cams. I'm still waiting for the onset of a flurry of activity that persists for days (weeks?) indicating heavy rut. Does that actually happen?
  9. Versatile_Hunter
    Definitely human scat...

    Did your buck stay put? My cams have been eerily quiet for the last week. It's as if all the deer cleared out. They're in the northern Catskills so I would assume the rut should be in full swing...

    I wash my clothes in unscented laundry detergent after most hunts.

    Last week I ordered the OPTIMA V2 NIT/ XTRG - .50 ISM directly from CVA with a BLACKHORN QRBP. Turns out you can't find Blackhorn 209 powder anywhere...

    On a related topic, I just got a Reveal SK. With its dual antennas, should I expect get reception in areas where the X has poor or no signal?

    I'm in! ...BUT, is it on the Ontario side? Apparently their moose tag system changed recently and it's really hard to get on there
  16. Versatile_Hunter
    Ontario border north of 117

    My muzzleloader is finally on the way. Time to settle on a scope. I had decided on the Leupold VX-3HD 3.5-10 but I haven't been able to find one https://www.leupold.com/vx-3hd-3-5-10x40-cds-zl-illum-firedot-twilight-hunter I just learned about Mavens and the RS.2 looks like a great option: https://mavenbuilt.com/collections/riflescopes/products/rs-2-2-10x38 Has anyone used Maven scopes or the R2.2 in particular? They seem not to be available at retailers so I would be purchasing without looking through one.

    Gender and sex are not the same…

    Trippy pic. Looks like buck is in your living room

    Don't grind your shanks! I made this recipe last week and it was obscene: https://www.missallieskitchen.com/venison-shanks/

    I have a friend who hunted here a few years ago: https://bucklakeadventures.com/ It seems to be a good operation with great rates and high moose density.
  22. Versatile_Hunter
    Wow, that's pretty far south!
  23. Versatile_Hunter
    How has the wolf/coyote population changed?
  24. Versatile_Hunter
    Here's the pic that I couldn't send through messenger...

    The MDC does a great job. They've re-opened elk and bear seasons (both limited) and are working to re-establish grouse.
