First-light

So we were up at the cabin this weekend. My friend Zach tells me he sees 2 doe and two fawns headed his way. They get to thirty yards and stop. No shot yet, one of the fawns starts playing around and is pushing the older does jumping up and down doing 360's. She sees him and runs over to him and does the same to him. Here is a guy holding a gun ready to shoot you and you play around with him. He showed me the spot he was standing and I saw all the prints from what the deer was doing. The Mom finally makes him and they take off with the little one behind. He would of never of shot the little one. He was kind of speechless when I got to him simply because he was amazed at what the deer did.

While walking around the property I found two pee marks that were all blood satined. I think a doe was coming in ready to breed. Any thoughts??

Coming home from camp I was in the middle lane headed east. A car was doing about 20 mph in the right hand lane. In front of it was a deer running for its life! I passed the deer and saw it had no escape except for moving forward. There were those huge sound barriers on each side. I hope it didn't cross traffic because it could of caused a tremendous accident. Crazy things you see…..

Just me and Zach this weekend. Hope he connects with a deer. He has hit the books hard this semester and it would be real nice for him. We have about 6 inches of snow.

Sam you looking for it to be published in print or the web?

Amazing hunt, congrats!

Yeah those big bucks get a bit embarrassed going out with a DMP tag!

Funny you say that Steve but when we head out for Jan gun season a lot of shed bucks get shot. Maybe certain areas they hold them longer, don't know.

Doesn't seem like he will go far keep at him!

From what they tell me a lot of 3 legged deer going around this year (had a big one on 3 legs right under my stand opening morning, gun wouldn't shoot)

Don't get your hopes up there. This is Long Island. Then again everyone does what they want anyway….lol

I would think you will be able to bow hunt on weekends only. Gun hunting during the month of Jan during the week.

My place is in 8P and there are plenty of bucks around. Each year I get a shot at a real mature deer. (I don't connect all the time though) I have a camp right next to me where most of the 11 hunters come from out of state. They will shoot any buck out there. I don't have a problem with that and they enjoy the meat!

I don't need AR either.

Those guys that call it quits at 1/2 before sunset are afraid of the dark. Just an easy excuse to get out of the woods before who knows starts stalking them! lol Seriously I have no problem shooting before or after those exact times. I have never looked at my watch to call it quits. I also drive no more than 5-7 miles over the speed limit on the way to camp. Seems the troopers let you slide if your within that range

It was ok. We took 2 deer should of taken 4. Things happen. Still have next weekend to fill tags. Good luck.

Hope they are ok keep us posted.

Good night sleep and give them hell tomorrow! good luck! I have Zach headed to camp with me next weekend! His plane lands at 4:00 Friday by 6:00 he is in the truck on the way to camp!!

Truck temp at 200 place on intake manifold for a minute each side. Season with salt and pepper packets you find on the floorboard. Could be served with a few fries that you may find under the seat and enjoy! Saves a trip to the kitchen!!

So silly over what?? You can get the message across a much better and safer way like…..talking.

Good info!

This has been in the original plastic case that it came in. I also put it in a sealed bag to keep moisture out.

I have Tripple 7 pellets for about 5 years now. Last time is used it was in the spring of this year and the gun shot fine. Is it crazy to use it or should I go out and get new powder. I probably have 15 pellets left. Thanks, FL

Last minute change and we are headed up next Friday. Zach flies in that evening from college and meeting me at the cabin. My brother is working on coming also. They will use smoke pole I'll use bow. The deer will be safe with me…lol

Wow Bubba some really outrageous statements……….
