Four Seasons

Couple Two year olds off to a great start. Not to bad for the cold wet spring we have been having I guess.

Sad deal these days. Messed up world.

Yup. Sounds like starter. Pretty simple fix. Next time it won’t start take a hammer and tap on the starter a few times and give it another try.

Stay later in the morning on that dude. His hens will go sit on their nests and leave him mid morning 10am to Noon you might be able to coax him over. Set up 2-3 decoys if possible, talk to him a little so he knows your there and wait him out. Don’t call to much though. Just hit him with a couple and get him to gobble back at ya and then just wait him out.

The 40 degrees will not be the killer. Like you said. Even behind fence the rain and damp with the 40 degrees is the killer. Up here it’s so early we don’t have any undergrowth or tall grass for them to bed in to get out of the wind.

They will definitely come down hill. They lock up at crossing creeks and such at times but if he lost his morning dancing partners and see’s your sweet lady in the offering he is coming.

Get as close as you can to the property line where you can set up your decoys. Make sure he can get a visual of them from where he was in the field. Give some soft calls around daylight and see what happens. If he comes off the roost with other hens he will hang with them first probably but if he can see your setup and you throw a couple soft calls at him hopefully he will come check you out

I would not be to fast to just jump on unposted property anywhere but if you jump on something that is part of the military base without doing you due diligence of signing in and such you may need to pack a lunch. Those Mp’s and Federal dudes do not mess around much when it comes to weapons in the base.

Yup. October 23rd would be 196 days back from today. Hope it’s a buck fawn. Great start if so.

It’s pretty much all open to the public. You can get maps. Tells you the areas that are open and not in training exercises. Sign in and out with your phone. Pretty simple deal really.

Ft Drum in Jefferson Cty is always a good choice.

Only beards here in the spring just because we have a great population. Fall birds are safe altogether on these lands.

For Sure. I have most of my luck later in the mornings. I places there are lots of hens it’s tough at times to pull them away. 10am or so the ladies head to the nest and the Tom’s start spending time alone strutting and such in fields. Sneak in on them and throw a couple soft calls to get his attention. Many times they will break strut and head your way looking for the lady he heard.

Yup, I only have to go out the back door but 5am is time enough for me to get back in and set up. 99% if the time I have the bird roosted the night before.

Side of the nose and let er rip.

Looks rough for sure. I would say your guess is right. Ate away while sleeping.

Well yes. We are happy to see you stop by and once again offer nothing of use to this site. You once again want to run your yap? Prove me wrong!!!

Have A Great One!!

Everyone should be pissed about any government overreach for sure. And if you had a couple days to sit down and actually see the truths in black and white and not all the banter coming from those that either have an agenda against an industry or a white coat that uses the banter to get money from the federal government so they can continue to get rich researching the same things over and over again for the last 60 years when the disease and the animals themselves have shown everyone just how harmless they really are. Man sticking their noses into mother natures business once again. I can tell you one thing that will be another fact… If those that are working right now in our federal government to stop the wasting of money that’s been going on for years puts a hammer on all this over and over again research you will see CWD go by the way of Ebola or Covid for that matter. It will be history.

lol. Sound angry by giving the 100% facts? Definitely should piss anyone off of all the government overreach headed in one direction without a doubt. Personally all CWD has done to me is stop me from buying any animals from outside the state to bring in. That was simply fixed by me learning how to Ai breed my own does. If anything it improved my business because anyone in Ny that wants to buy bucks to fill their hunting preserves have to buy Ny animals or my better genetics in the does has to buy Ny deer. But I can still sell to most all other states. We are in the process of building our 3rd farm in the state because even with pushing 300 head we still can’t fill the hunting preserves demand. After quitting my real job at 30 years old to just raise Whitetails to 61 so far this industry has been life changing for me and mine but to sit back and listen to the uneducated and watching the agendas of some that do not like high fence gets edgy at times. Not sure how the words of the truths sound angry but I guess they really should. You would have to think of something in the way you do your deer hunting on your land and then have a pile of your neighbors coming up with all kinds of lies or falsehoods that you do to those animals over and over when in fact it’s 100% not true. Not sure if that would even be a strong enough accusation. Maybe it’s just your pissed after reading all the facts of the overreach by government and the uneducated speak of others??

Google how much money states get from the federal government for so called CWD research and for how many years and then look what that research has came up with year after year after year. And then use your god givin common sense and look at what this so called big bad disease has done anywhere in any state. You will answer your own question. I will give you a very simple one. If this disease is really as bad as they want you to believe it is and they 100% know from their research that corn and alfalfa and other crops allow the prions to be instilled in them from the soil into their stems and corn why do they not stop the movements and sales of these crops from any CWD positive states? These crops are sold at every feed store, every Tractor Supply or Runnings or anywhere else the stuff is sold in fact moving the CWD across the country. We are allowed to hand feed animals CWD ourselves. That won’t be halted because it’s billions of dollars in sales. These crops are not just sold in this country but every country. All the same prions we are talking here that are involved in Scrapies in sheep and CWD in deer. Mind you that sheep farms can farm right thru Scrapies, even positive farms and move animals to other farms across the country and sell meat to meat markets that hit stores all across the country with just an ear tag and a vet Health certificate… which is just a visual check Now when it comes to Whitetails a farmer has the be 5 years CWD tested before they can even be certified to sell animals… meaning they have to raise and feed their animals for 5 years and killing 10% of their numbers every year just to test to see if they have it and every natural death to see if they have it. All the while mind you of not being able to bring in any income at all from those animals for 5 years. 1000’s of dollars in feed, health and everyday care for 5 years. I could go on for hours here but any person with half a brain can see the big picture when it comes to CWD and its uses when it’s agenda driving.

lol. You spoke volumes… Researcher…. There you have it. Follow the money trail Did you listen to one minute of that podcast? My question to you and I don’t give two shits what you do for a living…. Prove the words that I have spoken on this subject above is wrong and not in fact the facts!!!!

The powers that be will not accept a blood test or an anal test as proof that they don’t have CWD. Some states actually accept that a lymph node positive is a real positive when it’s not. The only true way to know an animal has CWD prions is from the brain stem. Hence all the zombie deer craziness and such. You want to hear the best one? A deer farm has to Tb test their animals every 3 years with a test that is in the high 80% level correct and they accept that as a deer that does not have TB. Well the CWD test is also in the 80’s also but they will not accept that a deer that does not have CWD. lol. With CWD and Whitetails all one has to do is follow the money trail. We are now breeding CWD out of farmed Whitetails just like they bred z Scrapies out of sheep. Nothing is 100% successful so there will always be a deer fall thru the cracks and become positive just as there are still sheep that do but the day will come when there won’t be much CWD behind wire where it will be loaded in the wild. The funnier thing is that the states that tried to use CWD to shut down farms only improved their business because they scared people so bad about the harmless disease that more people are now filling their freezers with animals from behind fences. Tested CWD free animals.

Yup. And now the talk of credit cards being used to track ammo purchases. Gotta love this state. Cash and Vermont for all your ammo needs. Great views on the drive and great selections on the shelves. Win-Win.

Yeah. Kinda like dealing with the facts. It’s even fun to listen to others useless banter at times on subjects they obviously are totally clueless about. Till next time!
