  1. Looks real good! Our area is producing some nice deer for sure. I had some local guys over Friday night and they showed me some giants that are roaming around. 140 plus deer.
  2. Size 10 work boot! There are two around one is big the other 150 or so......
  3. Ok I didnt come home the same night but...It was late season muzzleloader. My camp is 6 hrs. Something was burning inside me to be there in the am saturday. I took the kids to dinner and left at 9 pm friday night. Got in at 3 am slept for an hour or so and headed to the stand. That morning 13 doe came by and the last deer was a 6 pt. I took the shot but the powder was wet and got a roman candle flame. It was funny my bad. That evening I had 26 doe walk past me in the crunchy snow. but no bucks. It was totally worth the trip!
  4. Couldn't resist this one from our good friend Wooly! I have known him for a very long time but never personally met him. It was a great pleasure to meet him and hang for a bit, talk about hunting and his wood creations! This is going to be a gift to my daughter for her 16th birthday loves dogs and has the real thing. I know she will love this! I put an order in for a large mouth bass! Can't wait to see what the Artist comes up with! Thanks again Matt see you soon! Burt
  5. That round food plot is just mowed grass in a brushy area they love it!
  6. and to through salt in the wound at the bottom of thread is a "5 top wood splitter" article.
  7. Steve Its my brother who is selling. I agree with you and told him not to do a thing until he talks to me. I just may pony up and buy it myself.
  8. I believe it is a 1910 Fox double barrel. Anyone know what it might be worth. It's going to the gun shop today to see what they think. If it has to be sold I'll make sure you guys get a shot at it. There might be a few others also. FL
  9. I have a spot like this. You have to go across some prime areas to get to it. I have learned to just get from point a to b the quickest way possible. In the dark you mat bust a few deer but they will settle down after a while. Scent is key also. Spray on the scent killer and put some doe estrous on the boots.
  10. We had out trail cameras on some of the DEC property out east. Hi pressure for sure but some giants live in there. The brush helps them so much it real hard to shoot. He is beautiful!
  11. Had a camp in Roscoe NY. Heavy pressured area from downstate. I was up one weekend late in the season. Took a ride down to the state land Saw a truck from PA. In the back was a little 5 pt and a massive 10 point. I asked where did you get the big guy. He looked at me and said where no body wants to go. He said they camped a mile or so so from the road and hunted the rock ledges. Glassing all day long. This is in the Catskills. Deer was beautiful and I wished them continued success!
  12. You did say Dems building a bigger platform to campaign on. There you have it . Look Im not a Dem as you think I just think that this wait and see attitude will destroy the gun owner in the end. Eventually the tides will change and we will have to give up some rights. You didn't ruffle my feathers I just see things as they are. No rose colored glasses.......
  13. So after these shooting what do you think will happen? This happens time and time again. What have you done for your rights other than post shit about Dems coming for your guns. This is real and at some point you will not be able to get out of it. The NRA is in trouble with its leadership. They are not as strong as they used to be. Watch Trump do some things that will spin your head. He is that unpredictable.
  14. We were following a school of fish. Got out about a mile or so and noticed wind and tide changed. It was tough to say the least coming back in.
  15. We have the same type of lease and pay $2100 for 75 acres from Cotton Hanlon.
  16. Awesome where about did you do this?
  17. So has anyone been watching? I think pretty good so far. I really like Kevin Costner in this roll. Maybe his best since field of dreams.
  18. Our ladder stands stay out all year. I will be replacing the last hang on stand on the property next weekend with a ladder stand. To be safe I would put them up a month or two before season. I have in the past moved a stand in the middle of season. First sit deer came right under it and nothing bothered them. I always thought you could move a stand but you have to be careful, how much is too much to upset a big old buck?
