My morning hunt sucked . It was cold , windy and damp . I was at my spot in Geneseo by 6:30 and stayed until 10:30 . Heard 3 shots a ways off north west of the property . I will give it a try tomorrow with the hopes that some hunters will be out moving the deer . Didn't see one car / truck parked along Lima Road where I used to see hunters park .

Welcome to Hunting NY .........

I have a 5 foot sled that I put the deer on and tow it behind the ATV . Bought it at DICKs for $40 .

That was a good read and then it has a good link to another good read .... 12 Reasons Why Your Venison Tastes Like Hell .

Why take a chance of bringing the ticks home ............

I just bought a backup winch at Harbor Freight for $49.95 + tax . Their price now with coupon is $59.99 for that 2500# capacity winch . Still a good deal and it has a remote .

Gut pile is okay to leave on property as long as it is somewhat out of sight . Everything else has to go . Thanks for the responses .

When I grind the venison , I use the coarse plate 1st and then the smaller plate on what I had just ground . I just bought another grinder ... a Weston with the stuffing tubes . I went on line and bought some Weston Vacuum Sealing bags and also bought some of the 2# tube bags for the burger . Now all I need is another deer .

The last two deer we took out of South Bristol had a lot of Deer Ticks . We would hate to haul the tick infested deer back to my sons place and have the ticks in his barn or in the lawn . I was thinking , why not take a pulley / gambrel with him as well as some plastic totes and garbage bags . Then hoist the deer in a tree . Skin it and quarter it . Put the hide in double garbage bags and bring it home . Has anyone ever tried tried this ?

That deserves a Two Thumbs Up !

Glad she was safe !

I am willing to bet that a lot of people have forgotten this rule . Most of North Western NY will be doe only during the ML / Late Bow Season . Page 27 of the regs booklet .

You should be getting your own meat but that doesn't always at the processors . A lot of the burger is done in bulk and gets separated later . I sure don't want to get venison that came from a buck that some proud hunter had in his truck bed for 5 days . I'll take my chances cutting up and packaging my own deer .

Happy Birthday !

My son had some Hot Dogs made last year at Tony's . It ran him $125 for a bag the size of a Wegman's bag . Guy's were going out of the place with 3 and 4 bags . They must have cost $400 - $500 .

Mucho rain forecasted for the Marion / Palmyra area tomorrow so I bailed out . My son can sit in his blind out back on his property or if the rain lets up he cam make a short drive to the Mendon spot or the Pittsford location .

If only I could count on that buck being consistent and showing up on a daily basis . My morning hunts have been about 800 yards north of there near the thick area before the woods . They seem to like this pasture lot . That's where I shot the doe opening afternoon of gun season . Usually I am in the wrong place at the right time ........ My SIL has been keeping her horses out of that gully lot but still has it mowed . Ther were about 20 pictures of that doe bedded down out front of the camera . She looked at it several times and knew it was there .

Chew a couple and it might also tell you how long ago those beauties were dropped .

When the dog lays down or moves around can it change the channels ?

.......and he has been out during daylight hours . Time on pics is off by 1 hour . also had several pics of a doe bedded down in front of camera at night . She knew that there was a camera there .
