Nice John, good luck.

Happy birthday.

Eventually with this happening often more gun control laws will be passed. It's a slow progression but will get there.

Back in the day I missed a lot of deer with open sights. I have a scoped 1187 for 30 years now and it has been very good to me. Will only use open sights when driving through thick stuff.

We had a 218lb buck three years ago in 8P at our camp.

Adjoining property.

I actually paid a couple of hundred bucks higher. It does have a single wide on it, usable but not in great shape. I'll tell the story once we close.

Been doing it for 7 years. Have the 5 year patch. I enjoy keeping the records.

I'm cutting the corn tonight while you are on the thruway. lol Looks great enjoy the peace that surounds you.

I would say so. Very well hung may I add…….meaning the trail camera! lol

Absolutely nothing……..had cams out all summer if that counts.

I have a large parcel that I hunt. We have taken many deer on it. All the other parcels around me are big, + 100 acres . There is a small 10 acre plot that borders me to the west. This small plot is a magnet to hold a few shooter bucks during the season. Thick with brush and pines, the does love to bed in it. If you were lucky to own this plot i would say10 acres is the magic number, All depends on the situation you hunt..

Watch the video and feel they way i feel. This will be the first year in many I will not have many days to hunt. Exactly 4 days this year. A new business and responsibilities with my girls will narrow down the time. I will long for the frost filled mornings and the excitement of last light. The cruntch of leaves under foot either deer or man it still sounds good! We get together to celebrate the hunt but also to come together to enjoy all that God has given us. As a hunter I love deer and am always amazed when I see one. Good luck to all this season especially the youth hunters that carry on our tradition!!!! This video is wonderful!!! Fred Bear lives on in all of us! Time to put a few miles between you and all that noise in the world……. https://www.facebook.com/BearArchery/videos/vb.128593671687/10152999186876688/?type=2&theater

Probably so then. They love to bed in those fields.

Too hard to tell from the pict.

Seen a buch of kills from the Catskills on a LI website. Some small bears though.

You sound like my sister in law. She was canning all week. Tomatoes berries you name it. Good stuff right there.

You referenced city folk twice. I'm city folk that owns a bunch of acres in Steuben county. We shoot our deer and I let the locals trap my property. You have an ax to grind but you picked the wrong place to do it. 1 and done (1 post and boot him from the site)

You employed??

Feel better Zem!!

Was that on the back 9?

One of the best posts ever on this site!

Still remember my last HS hockey game, wish I had it back a 1000 times. Enjoy the football season!!!
