NYBowhunter

Must be a Mod less site, not sure.

So proud of this kid, 16yrs old and competed this weekend in a 18u division NJ tournament/ college showcase. Pitched yesterday for 2 innings in front of college coaches, faced 7 batters , struck out 5 of them and gave up only 1 hit. One of the kids (men) he struck out had arms the size of my legs...lol...thankfully hes talented and big framed and can compete at this level. My son was approached by a college coach from PA, was a great experience for him.

Absolutely amazing !!!

To be honest Phade if I shot a buck like that I would be happy to answer a million questions, but thats just me. Like someone said, he looks very bloated take it as a compliment. I dont think there was any ill will from anyone, just curiosity. Again congrats on a great buck!!!

Chill out dude, cant answer questions then yes don't post your kills. I dont see what was wrong with others questions. He does look very bloated. BTW great buck and congrats!!! Get a weight on that hog.

Never ever hunted the wind, wind always swirl and change at a minutes notice on my mountain, most my spots the deer appear on all four sides of my stands.

Thanks all, will take everything suggested into consideration.

My 12 yr. old just passed his hunter ed and I'm looking into rifles for him so he can'start shooting now until he's able to gun hunt at 14. My questions are, he does everything lefty but is right eye dominant, I would assume I need to purchase a rifle based upon his eye dominance and not his dexterity?? My second question, im leaning towards a 243 or 257 roberts for thier mild recoil, your thoughts or any other mild recoil caliber suggestions? Hes average height but thin.

So sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

What a waste, never understood the concept of those that just hunt for horns. Unreal, what a scumbag!!

Eggs and kale, fried cucuzza..

Happy Birthday, get out there and down a big one !!!

God Bless that family, so sad in every way!!!

I believe it.

Nah...he was craving some Spumoni

This is a typical older lead doe in my area, kinda hard to pass up all that meat.

Yeah I guess, but whenever I see a huge doe my mouth starts to water and all I can see are huge steaks..lol..but yeah again for me I never had an issue of other does filling the void of one's I shoot.

I thank the lord everyday that my bb's are safe from wolc.. To be honest, with only 40 acres , there is no doe, bb, buck or any deer for that matter that will not wander off my property. Thats just reality. I have shot old lead does in a group, huge does in a group and it really doesn't affect my ability to hold and attract new ones and new groups.

Let's think of this logically and from a physiological perspective, I really don't get the concept of letting does go that have fawns as opposed to shooting lone does. There are a few reasons a doe will be alone, but for the most when she becomes receptive she will chase the fawns away to begin breeding, so wouldn't it be best to not shoot the lone doe as opposed to one with fawns? I have never witnessed a doe being dodged by a buck and then fawns in tow. It doesn't matter to me as I will shoot a doe with or without fawns if thats what I want at that moment. But if I had to choose I much rather shoot a doe with fawns and leave that lone doe alone, as more then likely it will be that lone doe that will draw that buck in. Of course if there's a smaller then usual fawn or one still holding spots and is with a doe, then I would pass. But most fawns in my area I have seen are big enough to fend for themselves come October. Heck I have two fawns that use my property as thier core area, always see them feeding together since beginning of September and they are never with mom.

The only tree in a five block radius and you managed to get a center punch, great shooting..lol

I knew it was only a matter of time before a deer would swim over into Brooklyn from Staten Island, crazy to think of deer in Brooklyn. Now I dont have to travel 3 1/2hrs to camp to hunt, can get them right in my backyard. ...lol...this happened last Tuesday, the deer was sedated by cops after a two hour chase and brought back to S.I.

OMG people, we, well atleast me I hunt to kill deer so I can eat them. Love to shoot big bucks, but also kill does. As long as the implement and devices we use to up our odds are legal, have at it. But remember, the aspect of hunting is to kill, to reduce herd numbers. Using cell cams or cams in general guarantees you nothing at harvesting deer, it just puts you possibly in a better position. Most of my biggest bucks, I never even had pictures of them.

Its called Trench art, you can find similar ones on ebay if anyone is interested.

No, an albino is a color mutation of the skin and fur, typically will have pink nose, hoof and around the eyes and all white fur and it does not affect the deer ability to grow a normal rack and body size. Being piebald is a genetic defect and with that you will typically see abnormal looking deer, short legs, bad spines, small bodies and other internal defects.
