Here is our stand tester ...... 3 different stands

Met my oldest son at South Bristol this am along with my 9 yr old grandson . We put up 2 more regular and 1 more double stand on some property that we havn't hunted in over 3 years . That gives us 3 stands on one side and 4 stands on the other side of the gulley . I always like this property right on Canandaigua Lake . Sooooo we have two 2 man stands and 4 single stands to use . My son asked the guy on the adjacent property if we could have recovery rights if one was trailed to his property . The guy said that some gun hunters has ticked him off by trapsing all over his property last year and he was quite upset about it . Matt explained that we would be bow hunting and wouldn't be hunting "his property" . The guy was pretty cool about it .

Westchester , huh ...... I guess you would put a pillow to it's head then place the pistol barrel to the pillow and pull the trigger . That's what they do in the movies .

Sheesh ........ Did you hang the camera upside down ?

Sweet !

Great looking bucks . Thanks for posting !

I thought 2 1/2# per turn was the answer but wasn't positive . I can shoot my 60# Ben Pearson but would like my 70# Parker as a backup . Thought I would drop the poundage on the Parker and work my way back up to 70# . I used to hunt with the Parker and like it but I had screwed up the sight and just replaced it . If worse comes to worse and I need a backup , I might buy the Simms DeadZone bow from my son as it hasn't sold .

Not sure what I would have done . The DEC guys are spread pretty thin so do you let it suffer for a few more hours or put it out of it's misery ? I think I would 1st try calling the DEC and ask if I could put it down and then see if I could keep the meat .

Pat , Welcome to Hunting NY ............

Got the 2014 Bowhunter Sighting Log in the mail from the DEC today . I have been doing this for several years and have a 5 year and 10 year patch . It's a fun thing to do .

I have a 2 string peep on one bow and a 3 string peep on another bow . The tube peep makes a noise when shooting and breaks at the most inconvenient time . The 3 string peep has to be set just right or one of the strings can block your view . The 2 string peep is probably the way to go .........

I have been shooting my Ben Pearson TX-4 60# bow in the back yard with no problem . I put a new single pin sight on my Parker Phoenix E-Z draw 70# bow and shot that today . What a difference 10# of draw makes for a 73 year old . Wow ! What is the estimated poundage change when backing off the limb bolts one complete turn ? At one time , I thought it was 2 1/2 lbs of draw weight .

I fletch mine with 2 purple and i white Quick Spin vanes ..........no special reason . I just bought another pack of 100 purple vanes on ebay because I couldn't find them anywhere else .

Congrats ...... Great News !

Good info ...... I would add a - primer pocket uniformer tool . It cleans out and squares the shoulders of the pocket .

It might be helpful to someone who is trying to get started with reloading . As the ammo prices keep climbing , I would bet that more people will try their hand at reloading .

I have one more lane where I can shoot a bit south east . I chopped the tops of the weeds there as I didn't want to make a path to the stand . Now , I just hope it works out . It would probably be a better Gun stand because when some shooting starts the deer sometimes use the horse trail to escape from one property to another . It would have been nice to have had access to a brush hog instead of doing it by a Grunt .......... !

There is an East / West trail that the GV Hunt Club uses and I cut down a lot of the weeds to make that a possible shooting lane . It is North of the blind .

Doc --- I went back today to pretty much finish up so I can stay away for 3 weeks . Cleared out some more area . The brown circle is the camera 13 yards away . The green blob is 16 yards and the red blob is 21 yards . I chopped the tops off some of the weeds after taking the picture to make a larger shooting area .

My wife and I have been married for 52 years . No problem with hunting . She considers herself a widow from Oct 1 to the end of ML season . I told her that I would consider using one of out Timeshare weeks the beginning of November after having 4 weeks of Bow Season . It would be a break for me and make her happy . Will spend a week in The Poconos and hour away from Cabelas ......

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

Checked out the cam today and saw these pics

Git 'r done !

My sister in law bought 69 acres several years ago . It took a few years for people to know that it wasn't open hunting on the land anymore . She wasn't afraid to tell anyone that her property was posted and that they were Tresspassing . Bubba hit the nail on the head ...... your troubles have just begun but in the end it will be worth the effort .
