  1. Met 2 of my sons at a spot in South Bristol and we hunted along a couple of gullies . Matt and I were on the North side and Nick was on the south side . Matt was 100+ yards down the hill from me . He said there were 10 turkeys roosting in the tree next to him and the flew across the gully . He saw 2 different bucks but nothing close enough to shoot with his cross bow . I wasn't seeing anything ! At 9:18 , I got a text from Nick ... "Buck down" . He had put out a couple of scent sticks which drew the buck in . He saw a doe and 2 fawns headed his way after shooting the buck but when they got a whiff of the scent sticks , they took off . A fairly good size 10 point but the tines weren't very big in diameter . A 10 point no less . Around 10:30 Matt and I headed over to help Nick get the deer out of the gully . Matt and Nick dragged it on the sled but it still was a chore . Once out of the gully , they got the other land owners permission to drive down in the field and get the deer . We were looking it over and noticed some ticks . So , they spent some time pulling them off of the deer . They left to head back to Honeoye Falls to take care of the deer and told me that if I stayed and got a deer to call and they would come back . Around 3:45 , I saw 5 anter less across the small gully along the edge of the grassy field . They headed south rather than come my way . Later I saw 3 more . I left the stand at 4:30 . Got to the car and called to let the boys know that they were off the hook and didn't have to return . On the way out I spotted two bucks . So it wasn't an uneventful day after all but ........ I hate getting up at 3 in the morning !

    peep sight

    Congrats on your deer . Did your son wonder why the deer didn't get up ?
  7. Crossbow in Southern Zone November 7 - November 20 .......... What was illegal ?
  8. Still waiting to get a shot with my "Moog String" !
  9. I had them between 2 layers of socks . I had used them outside of 2 layers the week before with no problem except that weren't that warm . Never had a problem using the Toe Warmers .
  10. Going to hunt in South Bristol tomorrow morning with two of my son . It will be a i cold with a light breeze blowing in our faces . My foot should feel better by then . Over a wee ago , when it was cold , I had put on a pair of socks and then applied HotHands Insole Foot Warmers to my socks and then put on another pair of socks . They didn't feel that warm but apparently enough to burn the bottom of my feet and leave blisters . Still sore but better . It will be a long walk down hill and probably have to walk sideways as it is steep and slippery . Kinda rough being old ! My youngest son and I will be hunting with compounds . My oldest son will be using his new cross bow instead of his recurve . Here's hoping it turns out to be a productive day !
  11. Hunting with an Xbox ? Have you also hunted with a GameBoy ?
  12. Nice pics ........... did you see any Mets fans in the woods ? Take a short ride down to Villa Roma and shoot one of those bucks .
  13. Wait a year or two and they will probably put muzzle loaders in the archery season . It will give you more range than a cross bow .
  14. The holder that I use keeps by bow next to me with a nocked arrow and the holder is adjustable . It is also easy to install and remove .
  15. Could you imagine catching that in your windshield !
  16. My SIL used to date the guy that took pics for the GVHC . He has since passed away . Here are a few of his pics . Something is screwey ..... Won't let me upload pictures that are sized ????????
  17. Sunday am I will be sitting in a stand in 36 degree weather with a North West wind blowing in my face . Those damn deer better be moving !

    8n

    I plan on hunting in 8N this coming Sunday with 2 of my sons . We have permission to hunt a property near the lake between Canandaigua and Naples off of Rt 21 . We hunted there once last year and didn't see any deer .
  19. I use a bow holder that is designed for the base of a chain on stand . I buy longer bolts and fasten it to the curved part of my ladder stands with wing nuts for easy installation and removal . They cost $12.99 at DICKs . The company used to make one that was designed for the ladder stands . The way I install it makes it easy go grab with minimal movement . The holder is adjustable .
  20. There is so much info that you can get if you GOOGLE a subject . I have had good luck being able to replace washing machine parts and some on a clothes dryer . I had a friend who does a lot of HVAC stuff and knows about refrigeration take a look at the chest freezer that I bought and crapped out a bit after a year . He ran some tests and said that it would cost more to repair than to replace .
