Instructions I found on a site showed using some serving lie Sits mentioned to keep the loop in place . The guy in the video didn't do that and his loop moved rather freely . http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/help.gif[/img]

For gun hunting , my sons both use the Horton Knee Pod . It straps to your leg and is adjustable .

I have several ladder stands and like Viper I prefer to set them up where there are 2 - 3 trees close together . It gives me some cover and something to hang my backpack , etc on . Anything to get an edge . I have several ladderstands . I usually buy the single stands at Dicks when they have them on sale for $50 and I use a $10 coupon so they end up costing $40 plus tax . I use a cable lock on all of them also .

YES, there are wild mountain lions living in New York. The DEC says "NO" .........

I didn't know they sold Lifetime Bow Licenses ........... ???

I have not used a Buck Decoy . Several years ago I set my MacKenzi target us go yards from my stand . Two doe came into an opening over 100 yards away . They headed right for it and were standing next to it . When one turned sideways , I drilled her . I had carried the decoy to the woods in one of those big orange garbage bags that get used for road trash pickup . I set the MacKenzi up 20 yards from another stand . I had it facing away as I was told that a buck would approach it from the rear .I used the doe bleat can . A 6 point came down the lane-way and was 3' from it looking at it's face so he was facing me . Apparently the buck didn't read the same article that I had read . One of my sister in law's horses ran up to the fense , whinnied and the buck ran down the field . I couldn't get him to come cack but I was thinking that there was about 900 pounds standing on the other side of the fense ! I have tried the 2D doe decoys with no luck . I agree that does tend to shy away from the decoys on the most part . I figure I was just lucky the 1st time .

My sister in law used to gun hunt . She may go out once or twice a year now . Anyway , she has 69 acres in Geneseo . She would wear a pair of brown Carhart coveralls with a little blaze orange hat . She has made a few enemies by kicking tresspassers off of her property . I warned her that someone might "accidently" shoot her and at least got her to wear a Blaze Orange Vest . The carharts are about the same color as the deer .

Dayum ! The morons are in charge ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/pissed.gif[/img]...http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/pissed.gif[/img]..http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/pissed.gif[/img]...

Nov 10 , 2008 ( Marine corps birthday ) I shot a buck in Pittsford at about 35 yards . Complete pass through on both lungs . He ran about 50 yards down the field , stopped , turned around , wobbled and fell over sideways . I with I had gotten it on tape . Not the same as one just casually walking away like in the video but it was cool ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/dancing_b06.gif[/img]

At my age , the only fluid motion I have in the stand is when I pee ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/help.gif[/img]

hey , I wear Gators when I snowshoe ! ???

I applied for 2 permits and got 8H and 8F ........... ;D

If i'm sitting , I remain seated to avoid movement . I have a 10' ladder stand in the back yard to practice from . My backstop target is exactly 30 yards from and I have to portable targets that I can shoot at . Bending at the waist is an important factor when shooting from an elevated position . If you don't bend at the waist , you drop your bow arm and almost guarantee a miss .

My camera men kept screwing up my hunts so I don't take them with me anymore ! :

Maybe they will swim south for the winter ........ ???

Welcome to Hunting NY . Just don't be doing any hunting in Ralpf Wilson Stadium ...... : ... :

That's the way to get them so they don't run off and fill up with adrenaline !

It's in the General Chit Chat forum where I posted it under the heading of Treestand Intruder http://huntingny.com/forums/index.php/topic,1033.0.html

I had put an Ultra Nok on my bowstring so I wouldn't mess up my bowstring with my release . I am having a problem with it making a noise . Kind of a TWANG . I guess my next step is to try the String Loop . I bought a 3 pack of loop material at Dicks and will have to give it a shot tying it on .

The cat doesn't eat much ......

Maybe Revis is related to Lebron James !!! :'( ... :'( ... :'(

What are the threads ? Did they get removed or moved ?

Anything to help out a Newbie .............well almost anything ;D

That would be one heck of a surprise to climb up in the dark and find the bear there . I think from now on , I will put and extra pair of shorts in my backpack ! ???

No , it's not a bad drive but I stay until almost dark . If I leave then , i'd have to hit the sack as soon as I got home and get up real early the next am to hunt again . I would be farther ahead to stay and sleep in the back of my Subaru and be ready to go the 1st thing in the morning . I would save 3 hours of driving time . Either that or score the 1st day I hunt there !
