She wins round 1.

This is on long island.

This buck came along tonight around 7:00. Nice 10 pt two houses down!

I have about a 7 acre pine forest that is dying. A quarter of it is a mess of fallen trees. Great place that holds a lot of game especially deer and grouse.

RIP Max.

Just woke up and read about this. Two devices only 1 went off. Looks like the bombs similar to the Boston attacks. This is going to put everyone on edge. Glad you are ok Elmo. Now I have to check on my sisters family.

I have a fantastic stand that I always hunt opening day regardless of weather. This year may be different, I may not be in it but my niece will be because she has never shot a buck.

When you take the picture put something else in as a size reference.

Love to hear this, good job and good hunting!

Pulls apart real easy. Corn starch works great, I just had too much sauce per meat.

I was the Production Manager at Time magazine in NYC. We went into frenzy mode to get an issue out on the newsstands in 24 hrs. We accomplished that and revised the issue as news changed. It was weird being in the city and not around my family. One thing I will always remember as long as I live, It was the feeling of complete unity and strength among the people of NY. I'm sure it was that way across the country. It made me proud to be an American and thought to myself we can take on anything and get through it!

It was really good. I have to learn to thicken the sauce and then add it to the meat. I have been dumping the meat right back into the sauce. Last night I probably had a bit too much sauce for the amount of meat I had. It was still great! A wonderful way to use your roasts!

I'making pulled venison, root beer style! http://www.wideopenspaces.com/wild-game-recipe-root-beer-bbq-pulled-venison/?utm_content=bufferf5e1c&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&utm_campaign=Buffer

My buddy has been doing the drone flying for a while. It's not as easy as you think especially when they are out of sight. You now have to register with the FFA and take classes to get a license. They are pricey and when you crash them…... you get the picture!

Happy birthday Eddie! Enjoy the day!

Mine from last year.

That was priceless! Best post right there!

Striped Bass is great eating! That is one nice fish. Did you get them on eels or trolling? Father in Law years ago caught a 41lbs Bass off the rocks, it was amazing. Congrats!

Home for feral cats?

In the past the ladder stands we bought were 16'. They are still out in the field. I have a couple of new ones that are 20' and I absolutely love them.

Never had a problem being entertained by Mother Nature. Sitting in a tree stand for hours works for me and I don't get bored, no matter what time of season cause you never know what is going to happen the next minute!

I see what you are saying but I would rather leave the bear in the woods and have the older guys get a chance. Kids have their whole lifetime of hunting in front of them.

I agree with you Grow. This is a big undertaking shooting a bear. Planning is key and if you can't answer all the questions and agree to a plan don't shoot it. Personally I think it should be left out of Youth season. Let's concentrate on the deer. Use a bear sighting as something really special that not every hunter gets to see. Take it from there to peak the youth's interest. I have run across some hardened hunters that shot bear and never would do it again. Between my camp and the one next door we have about 20 hunters. I don't believe anyone has ever shot a bear. There are some guys up in their 70's. I rather let them have the opportunity to shoot a bear. JMO

Opening day of 2015 was a great day for us. We had two hot does on the property that morning. It resulted in 4 nice bucks being killed by 11 am. There were also a few more seen trying to find the hot does during the day. It was peak for us in 8P!
