First-light

Soak those filets in Gin overnight. Really cuts the oil in the Blues makes the meat taste great. Old salt from Nantucket taught me this.

I would stop on by and get a bit more friendly with them. Then I would explain the situation just so they know whats going on. If he was that nasty I could see him mouthing off about you and killing the relationship with the owners. One thing you could do is stop by when he is there. Just to let them know you put up a stand in a certain area. Make sure he is in ear-shot and see what happens. That should clear the air real quick!

Have a 2007 Tahoe and the information and gear selection went dark on me. Looked it up online and found this company Circuit Board medics. I removed the dash cluster and shipped it them. From door to door (overnight shipping both ways) it was 48 hrs that included the time to fix it. Cost was $119.00 plus shipping ($72). Well worth it for any circuit board problems. Just my little bit of FYI for today.

That is one scenario I would not like to be in. You know you're not finding gas along the way. I guess that is why they were trying to get the tankers off-loaded in a hurry. Police escort for fuel trucks.

Sad to hear. God bless....

Piss on the ground. The land I bought had three nice wood blinds. Each one had a funnel with a hose that went into the ground. 5 gal pail was buried, mini septic tank!

Glad you're on the mend.

Make a mineral pit!

I painted my basement floor with epoxy paint. They have a bunch of great colors and also threw some specks into the paint while it dried. Throw a area rug down and your good to go. Pretty cheap and quick way to go.

2-3 times for me. I'm just a wreck when a nice one comes in and I have to shoot. The longer it takes the worse off I get. Now the other thread I posted about how quickly it happens is for gun hunters! lol

Happy Birthday Eddie enjoy your day!

I always order my license online. This year they mailed it out twice so I have duplicate sets of all my tags. A first for the online method

I bring a kid to camp almost every year. He is not a kid anymore (21) but I can remember one late season hunting December. It was his only weekend to hunt. I did a small push to him. Three doe come out but he doesn't get a shot off. The last of the three was a yearling that stopped looked at him and ran up not more than a few feet away. The deer starts jumping around trying to get his attention and almost head butts him. He said it was the most amazing thing he has ever saw in the woods. He actually started to shoo the deer away and it finally left. I asked him did it ever cross his mind to shoot, he said no way the deer was just so cute and so close to me I couldn't.

We have had 3 dogs at camp at one time. I own the camp and I bring my dog, my brother brings his and my niece bring her dog. They range from 40lbs to 70lbs. So there is a lot of commotion in the cabin. The thing about scent control I think is BS. We leave most of our stuff outside on the porch. Bring it in at morning to warm up. The one thing I will not put up with is pissing and shitting in the house. That is where I draw the line. Thankfully they are all pretty well trained.

Still waiting, usually get one every year. I enjoy doing the survey just adds another piece to the hunt and helps out the DEC.

One of three packages of meat from the small doe on Long Island that is left. Just happened to be Backstrap!

It was made in Miami. I just found the show where I remember it from. Was it as good as they say comes out, crispy skin and moist meat?

1187 been shooting it for over 30 years only failed me (or I failed it) a couple of times.

Biz did you post where you got that roaster from? I could swear I saw a show all about the guy who made them and sells them out of NYC?

I see that in the picture. She is pretty big wouldn't you think it would of killed her if it was on as a young deer?

Pretty dark shadow all I can make out?

I have been buying for years and never had a problem. They were real good to me this year.....got duplicate tags!

I walk and prefer other hunters in the camp to walk. Go get the quad if you need to drag out a deer. Years ago at my brother in laws house we always rode the quads in. Coming back for breakfast on opening morning we aproached a field and the quads were on the other side. When we looked across there stood the biggest buck 10 feet from the quads. He was with two doe. We ended up killing that buck cause he ran with the doe when shot at. Thick woods were 20 feet away but the does ran across the field and he followed.

So this afternoon I'm watching a show from Alaska. They are deer hunting and go through some elaborate preparations to tag a deer. We all do this. It starts months before season getting ready sighting in, washing clothes, food plots, cutting timber, taking the right weekend off and so on. The moment comes and it happens in seconds (just like sex) you shoot the deer, its dead and you take pictures and maybe mount the deer. Now I'm not knocking anything here I love to hunt and get a great feeling out of harvesting a deer. It just hit me today just how quickly that time that we cherish so much with a Whitetail goes by so quick at the moment of truth compared to all the we did before season. Some people tell me I think too much..........lol

No pics but I had soft shell crab sandwich today with my daughter.
