No problem shooting deer in warm weather and butchering them . We do that every summer with Deer Damage permits . As a matter of fact I will be down in Mendon later doing just that .

Drove down to Lyons to the Veterans Administration and got the paper I needed for the County Clerk so I could get a Veteran's I.D. Card . Done deal . While I was at the Clerk's office , I filled out the paperwork to have my pistol permits consolidated on a plastic card . I should get the card within a week's time ...... hopefully . I asked the main clerk if there were any judges that had changed the status of the permits and she said "no" . I recall someone saying on here some time ago that his permit was changed to hunting & target only so I was leary about changing anything .

I have been shooting the bow at different distances for a few months . Last week I set up my 3D and another target and started shooting from my 10' treestand in the back yard . I can shoot 15 , 25 and 30 yards from the stand .

I never had any luck with trying to burn out ground bees . I bought the bee bombs at Country Max and they knock the snot out of bees nests . You use them at night when all the bees are in the hole .

I used to leave the woods when it started to sprinkle so I wouldn't get caught in the rain . As I left , I would see deer out feeding in the fields . Now I will sit in the rain unless it turns into a downpour or lightning strikes . A high of 61 is forecasted for today ..........

Yeah , and what about the accessories on the bow ............. Is the sight tight ? Has it slipped . Are the pins all there ? Has the string stretched ? Is the peep rotation okay ? Is the string frayed ? Are the broadheads sharp ? Are they tight on the shaft ? Are the arrows going to hit the same as the previous year ? There are many many more items to think about ! Personally , I shoot my bow in the basement in the winter to make sure the muscles I use drawing the bow are in reasonable shape . It would be difficult to not shoot for a year and then have to draw on a deer .

The main Forum Rule is .....Make sure you have plenty of Popcorn !

Welcome to Hunting NY . Where are you located ?

---- I don't have a problem shooting does and if that's the 1st deer that comes within bow range , i'll take that shot . I know hunters have tresspassed on the property I hunt in the past . I might just hunt the deeper woods to see if the kids are taught to do the same thing .

I use totes and place an Earth Scent wafer in them . I like the ones with the lock tabs , etc that keeps the lid from popping loose

Didn't the dumb ass know that smoking kills ! ...

I have been stung by different kinds of bees but the ground bees hurt the worst !

There is no way I would have a Camo phone , wallet , flashlight , etc .........

That's what they call "getting caught with yer pants down " !

While you're at it , get rid of those "dust bunnies" !

You could get the Stadium Pal or the Bio-Relief . It would keep your ankle warm ! http://www.biorelief.com/products/portable-toilets/stadium-pal-kit.html

I have never "taken" a Dump in the woods but I have left a few !

Welcome to Hunting NY

I shot 2 dozen arrows from the backyard treestand . Too lazy to shoot single arrows so I messed up some fletching . Pretty much set for 25 and 15 yard shots . I have to stand to shoot at my 30 yard target as I have a cable in the way otherwise . Bills 35 --- Chiefs 17 but the game wasn't actually close . The Bills were pathetic last week .

Buffalo is only 25 points ahead in the 3rd quarter . They still have time to pee the game away . Hopefully , the game will be over at 4 pm and I can get busy with the bow .

Waiting until after the Bills / Chief's game to shoot the bow from the backyard treestand . I have a 3-D set up at 25 yards and another target set up at 15 yards . Too often I don't shoot the short 15 yard distance .

I was removing a Real Estate sign from a vacant lot by Canandaigua yesterday afternoon . My boss had installed in it March and piled some rocks on the swing arm so the post wouldn't blow around in the wind . As I was removing the stones , I thought Oh Crap as there was a nest of ground bees . I pulled my hand back but not quick enough and got stung . One of those little ba$tards stung me just above where the thumb joins the hand . I went to Wegman's to get something to numb the pain with no luck but was able to get some "Sting Eze" at Rite Aide . I took some Antihistamine last night but the back of my hand is still swollen . I hate bees !!! ... ... When I washed my hands at Wegman's I had a laugh . On the mirror over the sinks there was a notice ..... "Warning , water may be Hot" . Well duh , no fooling but I guess they have to do that for the dumb butts that might not realize this possibility .

Happy Birthday 132 eight Pointer !

Yes , and with some luck 7999 of them will be hunting around the Cuba , NY area !
