Choot him, choot him!!! -

I still would have clocked him. How the hell does he justify going on someone's land, take a camera and his logic was that he thought the camera was on the border. Doesn't he know his property lines. Still wouldn't trust a guy that does shit like that.

Agreed, the old dump has plenty of space to shoot bows and thats where most of them congregate. The city's too dumb to take the easy route. -

Love the ear tags, yet the population keeps growing. Only takes one unaltered buck to swim over from NJ to breed as many does as he wants. What a waste of tax payers money. Deer and more so Turkey are all over S.I. -
Looking for a 4F if anyone looking to give away. Thx.

Great entry, welcome aboard.

Spend the few dollars more and go with the buddy heater, much more stabile then its smaller brother. -

NYBowhunter replied to Sir-diealot's topic in General Hunting
Last year I went with the buddy heater for my box blind and wondered to myself why I didn't get one years ago. Keeps you very toasty in an enclosed blind and don't need to wear lots of clothing. -
Happy Birthday.

A male is a male is a male,. A deer,, bear,, squirrel or human no difference, all will breed at a seconds notice if allowed.. Antlers on deer,, horns on a ram, teeth on a dog, fists of a man...all used to establish dominance over another, has no relevance to my opinion. . I have had mature bucks on my cams tending and using mock scrapes as early as beginning of September, whats your point? Estrous /tinks drags are very inconsistent, not worth the effort. Nothing compares to a live doe in heat. I bet you get a doe in estrous running around your woods the beginning of September you will have bucks chasing her and wanting to breed her, but wait a buck in September has not rutted yet, do you think he would just ignore her?

I have my opinions and that article is just that a research with an opinion. Some believe in moon phases, light cycles, biometric pressure..etc...thier all just theories. I still stand by the fact that yes all animals have breeding/mating cycles but the females trigger males to become what they are at a certain time of the year. A buck would breed in May as he would in November if presented with a doe in heat/estrous. But as you know a doe comes into heat in November/December for a reason. Thats my stance, so yes back to the board.

Thats fine. But just so your aware all males in general will and can breed at anytime during the year., They only act rutty and are blinded because the does are coming into estrous, give off scent to entice bucks.. Females dictate all aspects of the breeding process. The does scent and readiness to breed is what makes the males act the way they do. Take a dog for instance, it will breed at any chance it can, ever notice when they come across the scent of a female in heat, most intact males will begin to drool and follow scent. Lets just say hyperthetically that a doe comes into estrous in May, dont you think a buck would breed her? Or do you think based upon your opinion that the male would need to go into rut first then breed the doe. I can bet my bank accounts that same buck will act just as crazy in May as he would in November only because that doe is giving off scents to tell him she's ready.. The bucks only act rutty certain times of the year because of the scent that does lay down to express thier ability to breed NOW.

Actually its the female of almost all animals that controls when the rut/ breeding will occur. Males of the animal kingdom can and will breed anytime of the year if allowed too. Those bucks only stop breeding and chasing because the females are no longer receptive.

Thats plenty time, at this point after 8 hours I would push him real hard, if you jump him out of his bed keep on him. Many may not recommend this method but from experience it works.. I have recovered 2 gut shot deer one with bow and other with rifle, waited a couple hours and then tracked them hard, jump them, keep on them and basically ran them both down to the ground. Both instances after jumping them out of thier beds a few times they finally gave in due to exhaustion/trauma and was able to basically walk up to both and put them down. -
Seems early snow is hitting my area of 4F, got reports that a couple inches are on the ground today. Hows it looking in your area?

Catching a few decent on cam, and this snuggle tooth
NYBowhunter replied to luberhill's topic in Deer Hunting
Thats a decision only you can make. I have shot 1 1/2 year olds and have let alot go. All depends on what my freezer looks like and how I feel on that particular day. More importantly have fun, be happy with your decision and no one should tell you otherwise. Good luck.
