NYBowhunter

Smokes for approx. 18 hrs. At 130 degrees with vents wide open.

Sorry for the sideways pictures.

In my smoker right now is venison jerky. The venison was placed in a brine solution to soak overnight and this morning was placed in my smoker. Smoking the jerky using mosquite chips for approx.18hrs at 130F . Cant wait, yummy!!!

Heres it in a nutshell and i may have said this once before but its quite simple, aint no one gonna give a shit how big the bucks are you shot, how many deer you shot or how you shot them when your long gone and 6 feet under. What matters is enjoying the outdoors and hunting with family and friends while we are on this earth, either with compound or xbow makes no difference to me.

Great news

Sorry for your loss, my prayers are with you and your family. Be strong as your sister needs you now more than ever.

Every bar and restaurant in times square will be busting at the seams...Enjoy and be safe.

I know a small shop on route 23 in grand gorge NY, Deleware county. Its a tiny shop but he mainly sells hunting rifles new and used. Albano gun shop, owner is Joe Albano.

And already on to his next build, again sorry for the sideways picture.

The finished product.sorry for sideways pictures but thats not how they show in my saved pics.

Last year i analyzed the last 5 or so year history of trail cam photos taken over a mock scrape that i open up each year (same spot) and included activity from 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 yr. old bucks (both day and night activity) and the vast majority of bucks peeing over their hocks and using the licking branch was from 11/6 to 11/10. Attached photo is of 6pt. shot on 11/7/15 with crossbow mere feet from that mock scrape. I believe there is a pattern to the rut each year, in this instance it tooks years of photos taken at a fixed loaction on my property to narrow down a time window to hunt that works for me.

Lol, he turns a deaf ear on everybody and keeps chugging along building his castle. My mom says he works on it many hours each day. Takes her alot just to pry him away to eat..lol

Nice, mount and buck look great.

The ole man is making great progress, still not done.

" Dont count the hours, make the hours count"

My sister has dibs on this one..lol

My dad is getting cabin fever so he picked up an old hobby of his, making things with toothpicks and glue. Years ago he made castles, boats, lamps..all made with toothpicks. His latest creation in the works is a castle, takes alot of talent and tons of patience, God bless him, love that man!! Being a retired contractor, hes worked on everything construction wise, but this is on a much smaller, tedious scale...lol..i'll try to keep you all posted of his progress.

My ML is sighted in at 100 yrds and with 150 grains pellets, 250 gr. Shockwaves and the nikon BDC scope im good out to 300 yrds. Never shot close to 300 and have no intention of doing so. The furthest with my ML was a doe at about 80 yards and Dec. 14' i took the buck in my avatar with my ML at approx. 75 yards. The doe ran about 50yds the buck dropped in his tracks.

I agree. I also work in Manhattan and yes most of those apartmemts are tiny.

I dont think his concern is storage in his manhattan apt., his concern is that he cant keep a rifle or shotgun within NYC or the boroughs as it would require him to have a rifle and shotgun permit and that is unattainable due to his resident status.

Think the only person you should be addressing your concerns with is the landowner. A conversation with the owner will atleast give you an idea as to when you should start looking for hunting access elsewhere.
