NYBowhunter

I agree, my last cut of plots, fields and trails was done first week in september. I wont go back on my property until the bow opener and wont go back in to cut with tractor until next spring.

Congrats, very nice sow.

A few years back i saw that TSC had a similar size stove brand new for $200, may not even be worth the effort to restore that stove.

Nice pics, love the one with the cub.

Where abouts in worcester are you, im close to Cherry Valley. Welcome neighbor.

Welcome Matt.

New trail that i had graded so that i can access the entire other half / higher elevation of my property , 2 new food plots, planted 2 more apple trees, cut and split about 30 trees of all sizes, opened up some new fields and lanes, moved one ladder stand. Serviced all my machines and toys etc...all done as a weekend warrior with the help of family.

At that time i worked on Wall Street in NYC and was trapped in the building, we couldn't go anywhere as the dust was so thick that daylight turned to darkness and we could not venture outside as it was so dark out. People were pouring into our building from the streets covered fromhead to toe in dust and some with blood. I had to man up that day and be strong for all the ladies in the office as it was mass chaos. One of the scariest things i ever had to experience. The images of people in that office, screaming and chaos are still very fresh in mind. God bless all those families that lost loved ones. I had a co worker that lost his son and had a family friend that lost her husband, very sad day.

I personally like just enough rack to get my hands around, anything else is just a bonus.

Amen!!!!

Same exact here.

That might work for you , but i do the complete opposite. I open up scrapes where i want them to be and to attract them to my property. I also tailor my food plots to attract and feed wildlife however they are strategically situated to put the deer where i want them. With limited acreage its hard to wait for deer to make thier next move or to wait for a natural scrape to open up. Actually my scrapes encourage deer to setup their own scrapes. Not uncommon to have 5 or more scrapes open up within close proximity of my mock scrape. Remeber deer are a very curious animal, should use that to your advantage to entice them.

Its amazing when your viewing your SD cards and see deer after deer picture and then bam there it is a bear, what a magnificent imposing animal.

Never say never, bears were pretty much non existent in my area and season was closed on them for the longest time , but they are getting more common each year. This is probably the 3rd bear i have on cam in the last few years. A very neat animal to say the least.

For an area of NY where bear are uncommon they seem to be very common on my property. I wanna think that all the habitat improvements i continue to do benefits all wildlife.

Guess the mountain top food plot/field is not just attracting deer.. This bear is a mere 50 yards from where i shot another bear a few years back.

Just put up a double ladder stand this morning overlooking one of the new clover plots. Heres a pic of the view

Now or very soon.

Why you ask? Its very simple just way to many dirtbags and low lifes in this world that have no repect for others property. Being a landowner and landlord, sometimes we think the people we know, we really dont. What some have worked thier lives to get can get destroyed by others in short order. Sometimes the risk just doesnt out weigh the benefits wether it be finacially or for the sake of animal mgt. Granted there many honest great hunters out there but who has the time to weed through them. Thats why when your out seeking permission you get the simple NO from landowners a vast majority of the times. Its just not worth the headache.

Homemade venison sausage and Backstraps on the barbecue, yum!!

Now thats awesome.

Get her in the cage, you never know might have a hidden champ on your hands.

That bigger six in your last picture is very similar to the one i have, accept mine has no brow tines. Mine has nice mass and is probably one of the heaviest bucks i ever shot.

BTW Grow very nice 6 pointer. I have a huge 6 pointer hanging on my wall, they are a real nice addition to any throphy room..

Trust me i dont get in the way of any woman, its a battle i never fight. Try dealing with hot blooded sicillan woman, they dont call Sicilian's cut throats for no reason..lol
