I had done the Bowhunter sightings Log for several years and then they quit doing it . They said they stopped due to lack of participation . I got the survey last year in the mail and completed it . None this year . I think the guys at the DEC are Dumb asses !
I tried to do an e-mail but it required me to add a new e-mail host which I won't do . I now use Windows Live .
I had this sent to me ..........
Those Multi-flora roses have some real nasy thorns . I got tore up bad a couple weeks ago checking a neighbor's property . He used to have some moto-cross trails but let them grow over . It would take something big to cut that crap down now !
I never leave any seat pads with the stands (except for one stand) . A couple times I have forgotten to take a pad along and that spoils a hunt . I always hated the old chain-on stands with the "canvas" seats as they would rot away .
You have to be careful woth any trimming . What you see in August / September as blocking a shot might be bare in mid October when a lot of the leaves have fallen . If you trim too much , you lose cover .
Sorry about this post . I meant to post it in a different thread . I don't need Spell Checker ..... I need Thread Checker ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/angry_table_puter.gif[/img]
What about an old Jeep or truck with a plow that might be servicable to use just for plowing . Something that would stay on the property and just be used for snow plowing .
I leave them up and periodically change the rachet straps . Several of mine have been up for 8 - 10 years . I have a couple of old chain-ons that the tree is growing around . I cable lock all of them and have been lucky so far .
Find a plow guy that has good references . Some of thes guys tear uo a drive . A friend in Macedon has had a plow guy do his drive for 2 years and is considering buying an ATV with a plow . He has a gravel drive and it gets shoved way out into the yard .
All you need is a few lanes . You can just trim the tops rather than cut the whole tree down . I had cut some shooting lanes on my mother's property in Groveland and someone must have used the stand because small trees that I lad left standing for cover had been cut down . All that work for nothing !
Thanks . I have seen a couple of road kill deer on 104 this month which is rather low . It just seemed a bit high of a count on a short distance on Rt 251 .
Usually it's up when the rut is on and the doe are trying to get away or the blood isn't rushing to the buck's brain .
I saw a couple road kill between Henrietta and East Avon Saturday on Rt 390 where it is somewhat common to see many . I was surprised to hear of high hits in a short stretch on Rt 251 .
