Congrats on your first, sweet shot.

Best of luck with new property, great area to be in.

They are all in my food plots and working my mock scrape ...lol.. never a lack of deer by me always been seeing them in fields and on my cams. First time this year I even got pictures of a bruiser bear....all in 4F. I have tons of pictures of does, fawns and young bucks...but not any big boys, I don't get worked up about not seeing big bucks as I try to keep the does happy and the bucks will eventually show....hopefully.

Got mine two years ago, super sportsman. WAs an early Christmas gift from my parents. I really didn't want them to spend all that money, but my dad insisted. I gave a little fight, but they won....lol

Hey greenecounty tell me what these 2 guys are doing? Same mock scrape from last year. Come on guess, your insight to my first two pictures was hilarious, want to know if you can get this one right.

Not sure what your looking at buddy, but sure hope your joking. Buck is smelling my piss and leaving some of his scent on the over hanging branch.

Tyman, yes works real well. Almost too good that it makes you wonder, but aren't we animals as well, why wouldn't our pee work to peak another animals Curiosity. And it's not just the little ones, it's mature bucks, does,that will use these mock scrapes as well as other critters.

Just take a look at my mock scrapes from last year and this year, the proof is in the pudding. All made with the assistance of human pee and from time to time doe in estrous. So I say let it rip. I do however pee in a bottle when on stand so I can later dump in my mock scrape. The only bad side effect to peeing right off your stand is that deer might pinpoint your stand location and maybe more prone to picking up any slight movement.

Well I usually set up my mock scrape beginning of October, however wanted to put one out early and see what happens. Right off the bat got a young buck (attached picture), and few does sniffing about. This is the same scrape I open year after year and works like a charm. I know theres a thread floating around about relieving yourself while on stand or peeing in a bottle, well my scrapes are almost exclusively created by using human pee and my stand is very close by. Matter of fact I pee into a bottle while on stand and at the end of my sit Ill take the entire bottle of pee and dump that into the scrape to keep it fresh, I also use does in estrous as well.I cant take all the credit because two of my little boys were contributors of the yellow stuff as well...lol...

Anyone know if we got any good rain in otsego/ deleware counties?

He did provide a phone #

Happy birthday all , enjoy!!!!!

Happy b'day. Enjoy remainder of your day

I plowed one of my fields under last weekend and will be planting my annuals labor day weekend as well, will be seeding with PT Turnips, Broccoli Rabe and ladino clover.

So sorry for your loss, I know what your family is going through, give my regards. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Yes was a young bear, if I had to guess maybe 2-3 year old about 150 lbs, sad.

the bear was hit by a car.....on my way home from camp today a woman had hit a bear along route 28 not from from Kingston, NY....As we pulled along side of the bear we noticed that the poor thing was still breathing and bleeding from its mouth. I'm more then sure DEC or troopers will have to put it down, must have had internal injuries....Sad having to watch it there suffering like that, bad way to go.

my trail cams, two bucks together feeding in plot and lone buck pic taken on mountain top, enjoy.

Last year was a banner year for apples, my trees were loaded. This year the fruit yield is very minimal.

Yep I think hes an older bear. I wont necessarily be hunting for him, but if he happens to pass by it would be hard to pass on such a trophy.

Not a high bear density area and these are the first pictures I have ever captured of a bear on my peoperty, but boy my first bear pictures and he seems to be a dandy. This guy came to within 10 yards of my tower blind on 2 occasions. Tell me what you guys think how big he is?

Sorry for your loss, my prayers go out to you and your family.

Very nice pics

I'm in region 4 as well I have two existing ladino clover plots that I frost seeded a couple weeks ago, come late summer I' will be putting in a brassica plot of purple top turnips & broccoli rabe.
