I though Field and Stream was connected to DICKs somehow .

The off season Dummy doesn't scratch his ass and pick his nose !

Well , slap my ass and call me Sally . I finally got a live body to talk to and got'r done ! When asked for the Doc # in the left hand corner , I used the number there but it is my ID # . There is no Doc # on the tag . It got printed at the bottom of the previous tag . Anyway it's a done deal and I checked the rest of my deer tags to be sure things are okay .

I didn't want to put that info on the register because it said you are leaving the DEC site . Call me paranoid ...............

It would be great to be able to get hold of a mannequin and throw some clothes on it then put it in a stand .

I sometimes wonder what effect placing a dummy in a tree stand in a hunting area long before the season starts . Deer seem to recognize things that are out of place and avoid it until they figure it isn't something to worry about and go about their merry way . When hunting season opens , remove the dummy and sit in its place . Gotta try it before I get too old to climb into a stand .

I prefer Humming Bird tongues over Deer Heart !

I have never tried eating the heart . If someone prepared it and I didn't know what it was , it would probably be okay .

Larry --- That was too easy and made sense with the card . The DEC reminds me of where I worked for 35 years . We would have a system that worked and the new management would come in and change it and we would spend the next couple years trying to make it work .

Slacking off on going out as quite a bit of rain is fore-casted this week . Got this guy on cam on a friend's property but he only shows up at night ...........

Larry --- You did good by firing him .

Same here . I didn't live to be 73 by being stupid .

I have 7 days to report it . It may take that long ......

I don't believe so . I think it's the luck of the draw .

If it works , don't fix it !

I thought I would try doing the on-line reporting but didn't like the idea of leaving my driver's licence # and some of the other required info . After calling and listening to a bunch of worthless info , I was informed that the reporting was closed at 4:30 pm . I had tried at 8 pm . It used to be very simple to do . Looks like they fixed something that used to work .

Now , that's funny !

Found this ----- Q: Can a junior hunter continue to hunt during the special youth deer season after they have taken a deer with a firearm? A: If the junior hunter also holds a Bowhunting license, they can continue to hunt with a bow pursuant to the Bowhunting license.

On page 38 of the Regs Booklet , it looks rather confusing . It states that during the 3 day special .... Junior hunters (ages 14-15) will be eligible to take one deer of either sex with a firearm during this season and may use a Deer Management Permit , Deer Management Assistance Program tag or a regular season tag .

Then there must be heck of a lot of coyote food out there !

It's you . It was a 4 legged doe . I didn't drag it out into the field for a photo opportunity .

Saw 4 doe and 2 bucks this am in Pittsford - Mendon this am . There is one less doe now . Got her at about 20 yards . All I have to do now is clean up the meat , do some grinding and packaging . By clean up the meat I mean cutting away the fat , silver , etc ..

I only ever had a buck come to a decoy once . I was told to have the doe decoy facing away as a buck would approach the doe from the back . Apparently the buck didn't read the same report and approached from the front facing me . One of my sister in law's horses ran up to the fence , whinnied and the buck ran off . I couldn't get him to come back .

Shoved off for the Pittsford - Mendon area at 5 am . Was in the stand by 6 am after cutting a few weeds and some low hanging branches . Just before 8 am I saw some deer way across the field . There were 4 anterless and a few minutes later I saw a deer with a small rack . The buck went into the gulley but the does with fawns eased along the edge of the field heading my way . I was in a box blind that I had gotten a few deer out of over the years . As they got closer I stood up and held my bow out over the rail ( learned from a previous mistake to do this ) . Drew back , leaned and let go . Got one of the doe at about 20 yards . I thought they were going to turn into the thick stuff a couple times and didn't want to take a chance on no shot . At least there is one tag that I won't be eating this year !
