Thanks . Not a big wide rack but happy with what I was able to shoot . The big boys show up on camera at Zero Dark 30 . Maybe they will come out in daylight during gun season .

The libtards are nuts !

Just cover it up with leaves . The TP will deteriorate .

Almost forgot . Between going to the stand and leaving , I saw a total of 10 anterless deer . So , they are out there Zag !

Third time is a charm . Pretty much , due to my age , I don't go out unless one of my sons are with me . So today was my 3rd time out with the bow . My youngest son and I did an afternoon hunt . I was in my stand in the thickets by 1:45 . Can't see into the neighbor's field but I have had action on my trail cam in that area . It gets boring after a while of seeing nothing . At 4:45 I spotted a buck coming through the thick area heading for the field . I drew my bow and when the buck hit the opening , I hit the release . The buck took off like a rocket . I didn't wait and got down to see if I could see it running through the soy bean field . Nothing . I had left my bow , backpack , etc in the tree stand . I saw a few specks of blood and started looking for more . I called the neighbor who owns the field and left him a voice message . I lost the blood trail that was specks on the soy beans and back tracked . I cut up a hanky and marked the soy beans . It took me a half hour to find the deer . It was a 7 point buck . Not a big rack but a nice size deer . No shut-out during bow season this year for this 80 year old fart . I'm trying to get the picture I emailed from my phone to myself of the buck laying in the field so I can post it but it still hasn't come through . Took a couple pics of the deer in my sons driveway when I dropped it off .

Congratulations !

I thought about doing that but it pissed me off that the Father was such a jerk . I wonder if he has pulled this off before .

When I left our hunting property , I stopped at the gas station in East Avon to grab a coffee and wash my hands . There was a customer at the counter with a couple 16 or 20 ounce cans of beer . His son ( maybe 10 or 11 years old ) put a bottle of Gator-Ade on the counter . His dad said he didn't have enough money for that and find something for a dollar or less . They went back to the cooler to look . As I was paying I said to the clerk that the father could have given up one of the beers so the kid would get his drink . The clerk said he was thinking the same thing . What an awesome Dad ! Sorry , I just had to vent and share this ..........

Another exciting day in the Great Outdoors . Saw 3 doe next to the road bu a corn field at 6am today . They were less than a half mile from where I parked . Met my 2 sons that hunt and we headed for the woods . Sat until 11 and decided we had enough . I saw 2 doe in the thickets where I was sitting . My oldest son saw 6 turkeys where he was . It was wet and muddy back in the woods and it sprinkled a couple times . I was able to stay reasonably warm in the damp 40 degree weather . We discussed doing an afternoon hunt this coming week . At least I got out . When I got home , I looked at my Cuddeback emails and saw where 2 or 3 doe were in the north west corner of the woods where we have a gun stand . They would have been too far for a bow shot . I have had lots of deer pictures on my other trail on the property . Lots of tracks . Both sons are meticulous about scent control . The deer just aren't cooperating .

Here ya go ............. I think she was trying to order a burger . Found out later she was a college student studying Geology .

My SIL made a few calls and found out who the two guys are . The father of one of the riders said they won't be riding on her property any more . One of her neighbors said he was glad she found out who they are as he found ATV tracks on his property and wasn't happy about it .

Happy Birthday WNY Bowhunter !

I am with Moho81 on this one . Too old to let an opportunity pass by !

What ever happened with "one shot-one kill"? As Ex Prince Andy would say , "You don't need 10 bullets to kill a deah ! (deah is how he pronounced it)

My oldest son and I went to Geneseo to put up a ladder stand are relocate another . While we were there I pulled cards from my regular cameras . When I got home I downloaded the cards . Got some pictures of a couple of yahoos riding ATVs through a btrail that we had made a few months ago . The property is posted and these jerks are tresspassing during bow season . The woods are wet and they tore up the trails . What part of posted don't people understand . I sent the pictures to my SIL and said I should post them on Facebook but she said no and she said she will call a few of the adjacent land owners to see if they know who the tresspassers are and if they have permission to ride their property . The ATV guys were on camera Sunday October 10 .

A friend had this on his trail cam . First look and it looked like a two headed doe . If it had been , it would have made a neat mount .

I am starting to enjoy the Cuddeback cameras . I get the pictures and a daily report sent to my email . The cameras don't seem to put any of the garbage pics on the cameras like my battery operated cameras when leaves blow , etc . Pictures would probably be better if I had it set on 20mp image but that would eat up the file size .

I have a Canon camera that I can check SD cards that I pull from Trail Cameras . I leave the pictures on the cards and download them on the computer when I get home . Sometimes I will get a "No Image" on the Canon camera but find that I have pictures on the card when I put it in the computer . Go figure !

Happy Birthday NYBuckBoy ...........

Happy Birthday Swamp Bucks !
