I have never gotten into the habit of wearing a facemask but know that I should . The deer will notice the glare on your face if it's not covered with camo paint or a facemask ........

I think the fire started when they burned up the Scent Loc clothing after Scent Loc lost the Law Suit !

This thread should be re-named "Redundant" ! : ... : ... :

Mr VJP "First, the Crossbow is less effective than a compound bow. It travels less distance and carries less energy. It is a close range weapon that limits the hunter's deer shooting distance. Look it up for yourself. *** The Bowtech Stryker has a maximum effective range of 60 yards . "Look it up" !*** Mr VJP "2nd, It is no more accurate than a compound bow. The skill of the shooter has to be just as high, and his weapon just as tuned as a bow hunter's, in order to score a kill. It is also much heavier and noisier." ***The Bowtech Stryker is capable of shooting "softball size groups at 100 yards" . Call up Bowrech and talk to their technician *** ***The crossbow can be shot effectively with 30 minutes of familiarization / practice according to Ottie Snider the Media specialist for Horton . Look it up .*** ***Heavier ? that's what bi-pods and tri-pods are for . Just like they are used for guns .

I have mine registered and licensed . What ticks me off is the fact that it is still illegal to ride an ATV along the side of the road . So , what the hell is the license for !

I try to sit for the whole day , especially opening day . If there is a wind shift , I may change stands .

Great pics Vipertech !

Nice video RTF and congrats to that young man ..........

If there is as little response as this thread created , it would probably be a waste of time . 37 looks ----- 3 replies WOW !!! ???

This site has some video that shows how to make some of the cuts ....... http://www.askthemeatman.com/deer.htm

The wife and I had some venison steak for supper tonight . I used some of the McCormick's Peppercorn & Garlic marinade . Yum , yum ! :-*

I recall that when I 1st started bowhunting around 1994 - 5 that it was a rarity for deer to look up . Now it seems so common . The deer have evolved !

I got the registration for my ATV . I can renew ; My present plates -------------------- $12.50 ;D New Gold Plates with new # -----------$25.00 : New Gold Plates & keep my # ----------$45.00 ??? Guess which plates I will have on my ATV ?

I bought the butcher set from Gander Mt , a good meatsaw , a grinder from Dick's Sporting Goods store and a FoodSaver from EBAY so I have everything needed to butcher my deer . I saved a cutout piece from a countertop to cut the meat on so My butchering gear is completelt separate from and kitchen gear .

I had 4 last season and didn't fill them ............Last year was my worst season in a long time .

I was at a Garage Sale two years ago . A woman in Ontario was selling a small Have-a-heart trap . A woman that was looking around ashed her how it worked and what she trapped . The lady having the sale said she had trapped several chipmonks so the other woman said , "where do you release them" ? The sale lady said down in Walworth at Dolomite Park on Lewis Road . The other lady said , "dammit , I live on Lewis Road . So that's why there are so many chipmonks" ! But ......... she bought the trap .

Charged as a Felon for shooting a squirrel with an airgun . Kinda stupid ! Are they going to start putting folks in jail for setting rat / mouse traps or will we be required to have a Trapping License . I know it would be rediculous but it's something that could be required . Another way to pay the NYS Budget ! ... ...

They aren't an every day occurance on that property . Once in a while we see them and it's usually during the rut but it's more seldom , if anything !

If I had taken a tri-pod along , I wouldn't have been shaking and the camera would have stayed in focus ........

Here is some footage I took while BowHunting in Geneseo in 2008 . It was toward the end of bow season and it was cccccccccold . I was sitting in a DogHouse Blind that I had placed behind an old locked gate that was on the dead end section of a lane . The gate and brush in friont of it , let the blind blend in . Even thouh the deer were too far away for a bow , it was fun watching them ! http://www.vidiLife.com/video_play_1095027_The_Rut_is_On_in_NY.htm?tc=204423

Doc ------ Go to a Tractor Supply and get a bunch of the FREE styrafoam blocks . When you shoot one up , just replace it with another . You can't beat the price !

Geno ----- This isn't for an original license . It's for an addendum . An add-on ................

Yeah , I could just imagine throwing a deer on the back just ahead of that spoiler ......... ... ... ...

I had my last cigarette December 24 , 1979 at 8 am on our back deck . November 11 , 1979 was the day my Dad died of Lung Cancer . He had smoked all his life . He was 66 years old . When I quit , cigarettes were $5.25 a carton ...........
