Big Indian

Hey Core Which F & S? I live on LI and just looked at their website too, did not see. Was this a Black Friday deal?

Get some long tweezers / forceps (look at a surgical supply site) and as someone else said get the compressor out and shoot some air in there. I've done a few, I'm no expert either but the satisfaction of doing them is amazing and you'll learn tricks as you do more . The scalpels and other sharp instruments are vey helpful in those small crevices, especially behind the jaw, and ears

Check CVS photo my local guy ( Long Island) does great work, worth a try if u have one in your area

A bit of a late post, but here goes. My son, Alex ,18 was finally able to hunt a gun opener ( he wrestled all through high school and his dedication to the sport always prevented him from the gun season) We went out for the opener and it was a beautiful day, both weather wise and personally, it was him, my dad and one of my brothers. I wanted to sit with him, in a spot everyone in my family has been lucky from, especially since it was his first gun opener, it's on a big rock, overlooking a bank, a bowl and a flat. The day started off slow and he actually said he was a bit bored. I told him to be thankful he was not freezing his butt off and described to him many a long day in the woods cold as heck and not seeing any deer. Around 11:00 we heard something coming around the bank to our right, he spotted it before me and it was a doe, she was moving quite quickly with her tongue hanging out of her mouth. I told him that only means one thing, and to get himself ready. Approximately 5-10 minutes later he said he sees another deer, I told him to get ready and let the deer get as close as he can, then it came into my view, and it was like I was seeing a deer in the woods for the first time ever. ( my pulse doubled) This was a monster, and I knew it, he first appeared about 60-70 yards in exactly the same path the doe took, and I can now see and hear him giving low and constant grunts. As he got within 30 yards, I whispered any time you're ready and braced myself for the shot as Alex was only 3 feet to my left. He fired, and I did not see if the deer was hit or not as he wheeled and went on a straight run down hill away from us, I then took a shot, just in case but missed, as he went over the next bank and out of site. Alex gets up and say's I think I missed, I say, not sure but lets get down and look for blood etc. Alex immediately found hair and I found blood, and a lot of it, the kind of blood that accompanies a good lung hit. As we progressed down the bank in the direction the deer went, it became evident to me that he was hit well, and we would find him quickly, then we came upon 2 spots where he fell to the ground and got up again. Just after the last fall, I spotted the deer and told Alex to look to his right ! The look on my son's face was priceless and it's a moment I'll remember and cherish forever. Not only did he get his first deer, but he shot a true deer of a lifetime . The picture of me him and my dad was submitted to the Catskill Mountain News with an article regarding three generations of hunters, I hope to see it printed soon. Thanks all for reading and sharing in this story, I am still on cloud 9 and probably will be for a while.

Always a great contributor to the site and congrats on the recovery as well as your perseverance

Not hunting related, but I had a woman pull onto my property last year and start picking my apples rite off the tree ( which, by the way, has a posted sign on it). When I asked her what she was doing she said " you have such beautiful apples, I want to make a pie with them". I said unless you plan on making me a pie you should empty your bag and depart my property immediately. She could not understand why I was angry until I told her if I did the same on her property she would not appreciate it. I am sure she came back when I had left for the weekend, the nerve of some people !

Ok check your pm I sent my # call me

Thanks to everyone for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate the help. Stand by for a decision, it will be soon

Does anyone have a climber they really like? My current one is fine, a bit heavy but does the job, just looking to get a new one ( or used if I can get, I've been checking CL etc, but have not seen anything yet) I want some input from guys/girls that are happy with theirs.I always get good feedback from all the great members here, so I eagerly await everyone's replies. Thanks in advance

Thanks. Lawdwaz. Amazon has them for $4.00 I'm buying a few and to give them to my friends and family who hunt. I think I can afford it, hopefully will never need it but....

I know I'm not around the corner ( if I was I'd be more than happy to help) but if you need anything I'm confident there are some members on here that would step up and do the right thing....errands, shopping etc. There are some good people on this site so don't hesitate to ask
