That ladder looks sweet... Might have to invest in one !! Or 2 Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

As far as the donation of the meat, there are few local butcher shops involved in the venison coalition (I think that's what it's called) that will take deer free of charge and donate to needy families. It's a large program. Local to me, is the buck and doe shop on Sheridan drive in williamsville. Both the farmer and myself have tried to contact the shop to verify how/when they accept deer and have gotten no response. I have a farmer I am working with currently and the rules on the tags are 1 shooter can keep 1 deer, the rest has to be donated or a hole dug and buried. This creates an issue as the farmer wants his tags filled and prefers not to waste the meat, yet doesn't want to have to multiple guys hunting his land off season. He's very "by the books" and this is his first year with tags. I know another farmer in catt county that gets tons of tags as the deer just hammer his fields, he wants everything shot and already has holes dug. His freezer is held shut by a few cinderblock. I wouldn't doubt if he shot bucks too. When we did some tags for him in the past he laughed when we wanted the tags for transport. It just shows you there are all forms of farmers as there is all forms of hunters. I think there should be some leniency on how many deer the hunters can take and I think it should be easier to find donation spots as it could be a win/win situation. The amount of tags given is surprisingly low though, so I don't see at all how it could deeply impact the herd. I have to "trust" that the DEC is doing the best they can to satisfy everybody and maintain a healthy herd population. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Hmm. Well alright then. Maybe it's just me and the trophy hunters that don't kill every sit. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

It would be important for the farmer to profile first, and also it's important for "trophy" hunters to disclose their style of hunting and expectations. I sure hope your not saying that the "meat hunter" has it easier in the deer woods than the "trophy" hunter. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

There are always going to be those acception to the standard farmers out there. I love a big herd myself and would hate to hear of a big buck taken illegally by farmer or poacher. As far as the whole nusiance tags go, I think we are looking at it from the hunter/sportsman/conservationist perspective only. The farmer sees it different. He takes the time to work the dirt and makes his living off the ag he grows. When he sees a few deer in his beans everynight he isn't going to go inspect the damage or count the plants the deer eat, he's going to imagine them devistating his crop and taking from his income. I can see why they would want to kill them all. And even when they let hunters come in during season, and watch them walk back to their trucks night after night empty handed.... They don't see the massacre they want to. I'm with helping farmers out where needed and within reason. We just need to try understand the mindset of the farmer before we assume they are just slaughtering the deer herd because of a few lost kernels. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Yea, I have a few dollars in stands... My father is the worst (his were counted too) as everytime we are at the 110 acre farm, yup that would be a great tree for....and that one ....and thats a good spot for a blind and and and. That's why we did mobile blinds on trailers this year, so we can hook it up to tractor and take it wherever the deer are hanging out !! Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

110 acres, 6 ladder stands, 2 wooden/handmade, 2 hang on,2 mobile blinds on trailers, 3 blinds 80 acres. 2 hang on, 1 blind 75 acres. 4 ladder stands, 2 handmade, 2 hang ons. 40 acres. 2 ladder stands, 1 blind For all the above I also have a climber and two pop up blinds.

06,15,17. All been real good. I'm a Chevy guy so that's just my pick but that f150 is a sharp truck. They are all good and they all have lemons. I just got the 17' @ over 17% off sticker. Guess you could go with what's the least expensive and you will prob be happy. I do disagree that the Chevy doesn't have the "look". The led daytimes and fogs are badass on both Chevy and ford Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Was out with my son today hanging cam's. I was pulling some branches to create a funnel when he yelled " look daddy, a deer!" I looked over at him hunched down on the ground digging at something... Went over to investigate and immediatly became an even more proud dad... little man isn't even 4 and already and has a shed under his belt ! Great day in the woods. My neck hurts looking for the other side though. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Here's one of mine. Got a little wet with the flood last week. Never ever saw the creek that high. My clover/brassica is behind the tractor in first pic, and to the left in other pics. Was under 4' of water at high tide. The brassica held on but the clover does not look like it will recover. Thanks kfully the 20 acres of beans in that field are coming back great.

Seems someone read my questions and refused to answer. I guess you were able to pickup on where I was going with that. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Jeez grow, you are a real B these days (your words, not mine). I am not a migratory hunter, and I did READ the article. My question wasn't about the what, it was more about the theory. I just find that animals like deer or turkey hang out in certain areas where there's food, so I see the advantage of baiting. I've seen the hunting shows where the feeders go off and the game come running. I was more or less wondering if that actually adds a big advantage ? They see it from the sky ?? They stay in the same pond till the feeds gone ? Either way, obviously not very smart for a guide. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
