Big Indian

what town ?

last year walking out of my spot around dark my hot seat got hung up on a limb and smacked me in the arse as if someone was behind me I spun around and of course nobody was there.... You would have thought someone put a firecracker up my butt because I did double time back to the house

lots of schools of thought going out there.. I prefer to let the late comers push the deer around and see what happens. (even though my least favorite thing is getting up at 0 dark thirty) Also, for those of you who do come in late please be careful of the "sound" shooters and other whackos, especially for those of you hunting on state land. Have fun and enjoy !

Thanks ! p.24 of the syllabus has this info but it is ambiguous. I dont want to get jammed up!

looked all through the syllabus and could not find the answer. is 4F and more specifically Edmeston rifle or shotgun ? where is this info notated in the syllabus?

you could aslo roll it along PVC pipe, I did this w/ my safe and then down the bilco stairs on plywood w/ a "come a long system" also a bunch of brother firefighters came in handy for this task...

Nice job young man !

my thanks to all, especially my Dad, a Navy vet who served in Korea and my hunting mentor

whats BTDT ?

Bucktracker, I know exactly how you feel, I got my first bow buck on Saturday also. I'm still flying high! Congrats to you on this awesome looking deer, enjoy the feeling and definately do the mount. I'm doing a european.

way to go, congrats on a nice looking deer! I got my first bow buck this weekend too. Cheers!

Welcome home, and THANK YOU for serving this great country ! Enjoy hunting, I hope you get a nice one. It's well deserved.

My good buddy. Welcome, enjoy the forum .

I had my first ever bow hunt this morning. Have gun hunted for many years and just took the bow class on Sept 17th. My friend gave me a used bow and I began practicing every day. Went to my friends property where he had several bucks on his cam and my son and I in got in a stand around 6:50 this morning. My son spots a doe around 8:30 who kept looking over her shoulder while milling around the stand, my son then said here comes another one and when I looked I saw a beautiful 6 pointer folowing her, he comes in from behind so I stand up and get ready while he comes closer. He then started trying to chase her to no avail, he walked off and gave me a 20-25 yard broadside shot. I hit him and he ran off, and I said I am new at this I must have missed, so I called my friend and he came out and we found the arrow with blood hair and guts on it. We picked up a nice blood trail and began following. We came upon a spot where he laid down and we bumped him. Being much more experienced at tracking deer he immediately said we must back out and let him die. It was the longest 6 hours of my life we didn't go back out till almost 3pm and picked up the blood trail where we left off, but it soon disappeared, We finally found him about 150 yards from where I shot him. I am beyond excited and cant believe I was in the stand for 90 mins and shot a really nice deer w/ the bow. I guess that is beginners luck !

Welcome, I hunt w/ both my both brothers its a great time and lots of B@LL bustin goes on about who is a better shot, gets nicer animals etc... Have fun and be safe

Was in Bass Pro in Maryland yesterday, they are offering a 10% discount to all Firefighters, Police, Military, EMT's through Monday 10/31 Just a heads up to anyone in the area of the Auburn NY store just show your ID at checkout and you will receive the discount. Picked up a few items on my way back to the airport and was pleasently surprised by the discount so if you are in one of these professions and need a few things happy shopping....

Awesome ! What a nice looking deer. Way to stay the course he was worth the wait

As my Dad told me when I began hunting and repeated it many times throughout my life "there is no I'm sorry with a gun". I have now repeated it many times to my son,and when he read this article he said the same thing that most of us are saying. So not to beat a fallen horse, but just puttin my 2 cents in. Be safe out there and enjoy the season

Welcome to the forum that is just as addictive as hunting !

my son (13) started hunting w/ me recently, it's the best, lots of fun and great bonding. Also got him to join the site. My daughter is also very interested but has a few yrs to wait . Although my son does like the video games he would never give up hunting to play.There are some pretty cool hunting games but it's not something I have time to waste on and besides I'd rather be out there doing the real thing.

I am looking for a pair of USED chest waders for my son, the way he grows, and grows out of shoes etc I cant see spending a lot of money on hunting clothing etc that wont fit next season. Youth size 6 if anyone has please let me know, thanks in advance !

anyone on LI have any? if not anyone in 3A,3C 4P,4R, thank you in advance. I would also be willing to pay for shipping from ayone around the state who has one. my zip is 11548

way to go Jake, I'm happy to see the young guys getting out there and getting some accolades for a job well done !

I'd be happy to cut new trails for you....

great story, congrats ! Way to go.
