Agreed.

I saw this New York State Senate Bill 2023-S5802A would allow hunters 60 and older to use a crossbow during the special archery season for deer. The bill is set to take effect on June 1, 2025

I wish!

Forgot to say on another camera we had a bear open up camera. It was open when we got the card. Looking at the piucts he was pissing around with camera and managed to get it open! All the picts where close ups of black fur!

Wedding, child birth the rest of your life taken by a drunk driver. After sentencing he said so I can get out on Thursday. I hear he can only be charged 10 years in prison. So many lives are lost to driving while impaired. It's about time some politician takes a stance to implement mandatory alcohol checks before you drive. Think about it you go to the doctor and get your O2 reading on your finger. How about that button we push to start the engine reads alcohol in your system. It can be done but nobody wants to take it on. We are thinking about going to Mars but can't implement these things. Big money rules.

I had a bunch that had half a deer in pict. These were the best. Strong Doe and I hope she makes the season to bless us with 3 more. I would guess she is 3.5 years old to 3 fawns. Today I went to my 5 star bank in Hornell and pulled up. There in the beautiful landscape was a dead fawn hit last night. A shame but I guess thats why some have multiple births.

Some nice 8 pts but loved this picture of the triplets!

What the hell just happened. The last two days I can't stay outside. These pests are all over like never before. Any ideas?

Blood stains were pretty much contained to that area. You have to be right about it getting caught. It's all but gone now. There was an eagle eating off of it this morning.

Yeah but not skinning it. That is the weird part.

Ok on the main road to 86 I see this deer thought it was two. Dead in the road crows and buzzards all over them. I get close its not two deer just one. The skin and head were ripped right off the body cavity. There lays the skin and there lays the body. No it was not skinned by someone for meat cause you can see the roasts and Loins, most of the loins picked over. It just amazes me.

Nice deer! Yeah been talking to a few of my neighbors about letting the 2.5 year olds walk. Majority of the deer by me grow nice racks at 2.5 and get shot. But what's missing is the mass. They aren't old enough to have huge mass and that is what I want this year and moving forward.

So what is the deal 4 season jump in. These deer get no special attention. They grow huge horns. Do you have one better than that? Enclosed in an area and left to breed and grow. Share on this please you are the expert. Would love to know your thoughts.

Huge, there are many big ones in there.

Posting again rotate left! lol

Could be a 10 pt

Cortland water works. My brother lives near by and stops in. I have never seen anything bigger!

Looks great!

My dogs print. Black Mouth Cur 90 lbs. You can see the nail mars above pads. I think its a cat for sure.

My dogs eat the plums off my tree as far as they can reach! I don't have any Grey squirrels by my house but the Reds are all over. Those get too close to the house and they get popped. They ate right through my wood siding and had babies in my attic one year. What a pain.

I'm not far from him. Actually my spot is just as good!

Just talked to my neighbor to the north. We were thinking to give the 2.5 year old a pass. I have been doing that but that is going to be a hard sell for everyone else. That 10 point split brow tine is my target buck, along with the really wide 8 in previous posts.

I think its the last two pictures of a clover plot planted in the beginning of August. Clover, Chicory, Radish and oats. Some real nice deer this year.

Now I'm not in my woods all the time. I do live here and will go cut trees, take the dogs for a walk and mow my paths. It doesn't bother the deer. I think we all "over think" pushing deer out of your area if you out and about. If you have good cover and food they will be right back in it after you leave.

Foxes, dogs and cats all have four symmetrical toe pads with two in front and two to the side. Cats have retractile claws so leave no claw prints, but dogs and foxes do. Maybe some type of big cat I see no claw marks?
