First-light

Just went to the bank to withdraw money to pay dog groomer. Had a 200 dollar check in my wallet and made the deposit…..forgot to get cash for the groomer! We are all in the same boat Zem!

I know that fence, only one on L.I. lol LI deer size and age are deceiving. They are much older than they look. When checking in deer at the DEC station I'm always off by about 2 years. My brother shot a doe a couple of years ago that was 8-9 years old. You would of thought 3..Nice deer go get 'em!

In my neighborhood there are many street signs named after fallen loved ones from 911. Each year that passes someone places a flower or flowers under the signs. God bless all of the loved ones lost……….

Wow I thought there would be many more responses to this thread. Just so YOU ALL REMEMBER…... Thanks Grow!!! I was there and will never forget……..

Welcome! I hunt Steuben county also but don't know about any gun clubs. Good luck on your search.

Bring it up in conversation that you saw his setup. Be nice and explain ti him to be careful because it is illegal to use the salt lick for deer. Don't make it sound like you will turn him in or anything like that. I can see people using these things for pictures but when season roles around and a nice deer is hitting the thing it will be hard to take away.

Not too many from me. Can't remember when the last time I aw spots on a fawn at bow season, maybe 20 years ago???

Back then it was the same way for me. Now 25 years later it still is a great night but sleep is a priority.

The one thing he guys said about the time before 1 buck rule everyone was always pitted against each other, our own worst enemy………..

Smart ones….

I get that. I believe I'm very close to a realistic price. Thanks Grow..

Happy birthday Edward!!!

I paid $1100 about 8 years ago per acre for my place. This property is 10 acres on a seasonal road, no electric, all wooded but no value in timber (all junk pine) I am thinking in the neighborhood of $1500 per acre, thoughts?

I shoot to miss, that's what the guys will tell ya……..

Your stand Ed?? At least they left a note, that was nice…..

Good deal and good luck!!

Funny but I can remember years ago when I first started out figuring where I needed to move my stand. Later in life my stand seems to stay put. Not that I'm too old to move but why break something that aint broke…….always get a shot at a big one from that stand. (connecting is the hard part) lol

Off topic but the prices on dog and cat food are great. I buy all natural no grain so it can get pricey. I buy a couple of big bags each time I'm up. Wish I had some time to plant those trees…..

Fitst year they used the new system all my tags where screwed up. The guy called the DEC and said they will mail all the correct tags. I felt the same as you hut they all came in time.

Nice picts on a bunch of 1.5 year olds.

It's been a long time since I took two bucks in one season. I live at a distance from my camp but I can see it different to the guy who has a lot of time and would like a shot at a second buck? It kind of locks everything up together. You want meat shoot some does, trophy hunter no problem you are looking for the biggest deer and will let the small ones walk. "Brown its down" are going to have to take some valium cause you will need to know its a doe to shoot.

So sitting around the campfire along with a few hunters from Ohio they just can'y believe that NY hasn't gone to the 1 buck rule. It grows big deer and cuts down on the doe population. These guys read some of the NY forums and see how hunter vs hunter are pitted against each other. They say 1 buck rule kind of rolls everything up into 1 rule. You are done when you shoot your buck wether small or big. You need meat you go back out and shoot the does. AR's come into place cause guys are letting the small ones walk. I haven't made up my mind on this but it sounds pretty good and would solve some of the issues her in NY. Thoughts….?

Crossbow and 1 buck rule...

We are seeing a lot of buck in 8P. In fact my neighbor told me today one of the Farmers that has to use my property as an access stopped by and talked to him. All he talked about is the huge bucks he keeps on seeing. This guy could care less about deer, something is up!!!

Yes it was a great weekend!!!
