It wasn't my stand and it was on another person's property . I know it has been there for at least 3 years when I first saw it . A couple of new guys are hunting that area and wanted to hunt my SILs property also . She said NO . We had a thread about taking down someone's stand and leaving a note so I wonder if that is what these guys did . Because of the plastic bag on the support bar , I didn't think it had fallen and thought a note had been left . If that's the case , it appears that they did the right thing .

Done !

Walked my sister in laws property yesterday to see how wet the woods might be as it doesn't drain well . Saw a double treestand laying on the ground across the ditch from my SILs property . Some new guys are hunting there this coming year . It looks like it might have been removed and a note left with it .

There are certainly some shooters in that crowd in OPs post .

Nuttin ! Don't need anything . Too much gear as it is .......

I checked 3 trail cams . One was mostly a guy with a Bush Hog making trails through a pond field and no deer on the card . Another had a spike posing for the camera . Realized when I got home that the date had reverted back to January 2010 . On the third was a nice buck . I was there last Thursday but since I visited my sister I checked the cams and walked the woods to see if they had dried up . Only saw one doe while walking . There was a snail on one camera lens and when I took the cover off of the Moultrie Lock Box , there was a toad sitting on top of the camera and it startled me . It was pretty funny .

Another Geneseo buck

Does anyone do this with a relative ? I was told at a gun shop that I could fill out a form to have my son , who has a pistol permit , as a dual owner . The advantage of this is ..... if something happens to me , the dual owner would automatically become the sole owner and the government wouldn't get the pistols .

Good point Doc . I have accumulated a few "junk cameras" over the years . Tried to replace some of the internal batteries but they are soldered into to camera guts . I was liking the Primos CR Truth Cams but had 2 infested with ants . Easy to take apart . Cleaned out the webs , whatever and used the compressor to blow out the internals . Still couldn't get the cameras to turn on . Cheap Wildgame cameras may be the way to go but they don't take multi-shots . What I see on the cameras during the summer changes by fall as crops are harvested and the Deer movement changes .

Not a problem . I carry my hunting clothes in a sealed tote and put them on when I get to the place I am going to hunt .

I would think that a crossbow would be more effective than a compound . Easier to tweak the sight (scope) . Faster than a compound ... Stryker is 405 fps . Can be shot from a rest . Cocked until the trigger is pulled . Easy enough whereby a novice can shoot bullseyes in no time . What's with the "follow up shot" ? With the accuracy of a crossbow , it shouldn't be necessary .

Welcome to Hunting NY

From my friend's TC in Walworth ........ some bucks aren't camera shy

I have one on my pack and a copy on my back in blaze orange holders I also put the deer tag on the ear with a zip tie and then another zip tie around the ear to make sure it stays in ....

Wait until it looks down the barrel and pull the trigger .

My son hasn't put out a trail cam but ..... there is a spot in Mendon where he has seen 12 bucks during a sitting in the evening . He has crop damage permits and the bucks are out but the does have been coming out too late . I know they can be shot up until 11 pm but we have never shot them in the dark hours .

The thread is gone and the phoney account is also gone . If the person who created the account does it again , he will be GONE !

They have been logging almost a mile south of my friends and a couple houses were built back off the road about 1/2 mile south of the property . I am wondering if this is causing the deer to travel my friends property more frequently . Any thought on this ?

I call our bathroom "the Jim" . When I tell people that I go to the Jim quite often , they are impressed !

Your deer are probably on Wooly's camera ............

Do some research on the adaptors and check out the reviews . Some are not compatable with various phones . The adaptors aren't that big / bulky . Here is mine with a SD card next to it .

Pretty vague ..... no mention as to how far from the road a person has to be . Question: How far off the highway must I be before I can discharge my firearm, crossbow or longbow? Answer: The Environmental Conservation Law prohibits you from discharging the firearm, crossbow or longbow in such a manner that the arrow, bolt, bullet or load of shot passes over any portion of the highway, which may include maintained portions including the shoulder, drainage ditches, etc.

On the Samsung S5 I can open a picture and enlarge it to see better . I will be able to tell if a camera that is 50 miles away isn't working right on the spot rather than get home and find out . Just another inexpensive toy .
