First-light

Looks great! I add a twist and use sweet potatoes apples and pears. 1 table spoon of maple syrup also. enjoy!

Nice job at the tournament! My daughter tried out for the LI Rough Riders Premier travel team last month. She made it so now we are on two different teams and a whole lot of traveling to do! lol We all love it so it goes. Good luck getting that first deer Zem!

I found a tree stand on the adjacent property to mine that I am buying. It was last weekend, no one has permission to hunt this property but me. The person cut a small tree down and some limbs. I took the stand down and placed it at the bottom of the tree with a posted sign on it. Hope he gets the message.

Shoot it and get it over with.

Thanks all. Along the back was one ribbon in the middle of the back stakes. The side that borders me has 1 addition ribbon. The north side is not marked and actually comes down from the road at an angel. That is the side I will mark once I get the survey. All good info-thanks again. FL

I had a piece of property surveyed. I found all 4 corner pins. Front boundary is on the road and back is a pretty straight line not that far. The side to the north is the longest distance and does not have any ribbon markers on it. Would it be ok if I ask the survey company to come back out and put markers on that side or just wait for the survey map and do it myself? Is this asking too much? This side needs to be posted. Thanks, FL

Not such a great weekend for deer. I saw one small buck 10 hours on stand. My brother saw 5. Not much on the trail cam either. Thats the way it goes some weekend…..weather was perfect though.

As you know my hunting time is very limited (1 bow and gun weekend and a few quick trips out on LI) because of my new business. We leave this afternoon (my brother and I) around 2 and hope to be at the cabin by 8. I can't believe how we hit it perfect on the weather!!! All day sit tomorrow for sure they will be moving. I need this weekend really bad and I hope I get a few looks at some decent bucks. I'll pull the cards also and post picts. Good luck everyone and have fun! FL

I've noticed them eating the apples later in the season for some reason. Maybe the apple breaks down while on the ground and is more palatable to them.

Congrats to the METS!

Great video, always enjoy them.

Pretty excited. Highs in the low 40's and lows of 27 Saturday night. Rain snow showers all weekend. Going to be down right nasty but……that's when the big boys start lurking around!

Very nice buck for early season. Getting them on the feed bag!

I believe it is, Pap said a CVA or Wolf(?)

I believe in staying to last light. You never know what may come along. There have been times when I thought everything was perfect and I get a big goose egg to show. Legally you should stop hunting at sunset in your area, some do some don't. This thread will turn into a pissing match about what I just said…lol. I personally don't watch the time, I'll call the day myself.

Covered in dark red blood……almost purple looking? That would be liver. Had the same thing happen with a liver shot buck. Arrow was coated with dark red blood tip to tip. Deer left blood in the beginning but it stopped after a while. Found the deer 7 hours later while watching the skies for crows. They were pecking at his wound making a hell of a commotion. Good luck and get back out there tomorrow for one last look.

Just happens to be that my 1 bow weekend this season will this coming weekend. Just happens to be the first real cold front of the season. Forecast is for mid 40's during the day and low 30's with possible snow showers at night. Talking with my brother in-law he said the first real cold days of bow season can bring some great hunting. Deer will be very active and it will pump up the bucks. I have seen this in the past a few times early October when the temps got down in the 20-30's. Granted being that cold they will move anyway but it just seems to get them really moving being it is the first real cold snap. Anyone else observe this? FL

Look up some comparable listing on real-estate sites. Place looks nice, sorry you have to sell.

No fencing, that is crazy.

Nice deer! Your plan worked perfect nice job.

So I can watch the Ranger games via MSG on the net?

I did it in Steuben county. Bought the land, had the Amish build the shell for the cabin, finished it off with my brother, property is in the Ag program that keeps the taxes low, many opportunities at huge buck, turkey and bear. The place is a dream come true. My neighbor is like a brother to me. Every piece fit together perfectly. Good luck finding your place.

That gun is a 243 single shot. She is deadly with it!!! lol

Here is Kaylie with her 3pt she got this morning. Two years in a row for her!! Grand Pap is the guide….what a great hunt, Congrats! This is the camp next to mine.

Happy birthday!
