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.

4F - 2 bucks

Nice pics..looks like perfect running/scenting conditions for the dogs. When we went it was ruff, had around 2ft. Of Snow and was using snowshoes to get around, we still managed to get alot of bunnies. Glad you guys had fun!!!

Thats good to hear, wish i would have known you were going i would have asked you to say hello for me to that ole mountain man. Petes a a nice guy and works hard for you. Post those pictures.

Sounds nice!!!

Good luck Biz. How much land we talking about?

If i remember correctly it was 3 of us and we laid down about 18 in 2 days.

Went with Pete Richardson out in Vermont years ago with a few friends and got a boat load of snowshoe hare, was lots of fast paced action. Had a ton of fun. I need to do that again real soon.

Pics from crossbow hunt and gun hunt with 2 of my boys. Time spent together is priceless.

HAPPY birthday!!!

Congrats

Not far from you, welcome.
