How often did you freshen the scent that you put on the rub ?

Not !

If it's in the wild , it's fair game .

You don't have to win every argument . Agree to disagree ..........

If we all get along , it will be pretty boring !

There were a few of them flying around . I wonder why they pick this spot to congregate .......

Did anyone put out the flame and leave the Island ?

Went to the GEVA Theater tonight . The trees in and around the park were filled with blackbirds . Someone said they were crows . I couldn't tell in the dark . Anyway , I think they must have heard the news and were afraid to fly ! :

So .......... what did Max say in the post he edited ???

The deer could have been hit on an adjacent property .........Cannot assume it was shot where it was laying .

Is that Doc at a young age standing behind the bench that's holding the deer heads ?

Awesome rack on that buck . Congrats for getting him !

Great pics G-man . Thanks for sharing them !

The fall over the falls would no doubt be scarey but the sudden stop would worse ! ??? ... ??? ... ???

We used the radios to let the others know we were situated in the stand , were moving to another spot or got a hit and was tracking a deer . We would set the radios on vibe and if say I buzzed someone , I wasn't to talk until I got a return . That way , if one of us had a deer nearby , we wouldn't be spooking it by talking on the radio .

Welcome to hunting NY Jim !

I wonder if folks don't think they hit a deer and don't bother to walk out and check . Pure laziness ! The 1st time I ever shot at a deer with the muzzle loader was in a corn field . I walked along the end looking down each row and spotted a doe walking across the rows . I moved mack a couple rows , pulled the hammer back and aimed down the row . When she entered that row I squeexed off a shot . The rifle kicked and there was a cloud of smoke and I saw nothing . I didn't see or hear her run but went to check on blood . The doe was laying right where I shot her .... 85 yards from where I fired . I always check for a hit whether it's with the gun or bow and still look around for blood . If I get a hit , then I will track for as long as I can . I stsrted deer hunting in 1965 . I have two deer that I never recovered and it still bothers me .

I saw an obituary in today's Rochester D&C ------- Richard Clapp ----- ???

As for not allowing canoes / boats in the river in the park , there are waterfalls that someone could go over if they weren't extremely careful .

I just pulled my radios out of the cupboard to see what model they are . Motorola Talk-About T5820 . They have a range of 5 miles . The newer ones have a much longer range . I would guess the range wold be on flat groung with no interferance . Anyway 2 of my radios had batteries still in them . I turned them on and they were fine . I'll take the batteries out before putting them back . I think my Motorolas had a price of $60 7 - 8 years ago but I bought them when Gander Mt had them for $20 a pair . They worked fine for our needs

Been there , done that and it has never worked for me . I wanted an inexpensive 22 for shooting chucks around sheds , barns , etc and had a Marlin M60 in mind . The gun dealers wouldn't budge to less than $135 . I bought that rifle at WalMart for $105 ,

Yeah , it was still good shooting !

I had a good set of Midlands until I left one on my rear truck bumper . Slid off when I turned the driveway corner and a passing vehicle ran over it . I have since used Motorolas with good luck . I had a total of six and my son lost one of them . We use to use them when I hunted in Italy Valley as cell phone coverage was bad ( no towers . I havn't used them in about 3 years .
