First-light

Plugs and tins.

I have 56 acres. At bow season there is max 3 people at a time. Opening weekend of gun we will have max 5 people out at one time. There are 4 ladder stands, 1 hang on and 3 box stands to hunt from.

Here is the trail mower attached to my lawn tractor. I have about a 6 foot cut!

Here is a picture minus the back rest and seat cushion. Went together real easy and I was able to stand it up alone. Next time I would get help for sure.

No they can't.

A Marshall goes out with the angler to make sure they compete by the rules. They stay on the boat all day long. Elite #8 Cayuga Lake, Ithaca, N.Y., August 21-24 B.A.S.S.'s only visit to Cayuga was in the summer of 2012 for a Northern Open. Cayuga is one of New York's "Finger Lakes" and one of the deepest lakes in the country (more than 400 feet in places). Both largemouth and smallmouth bass live here, though the tournament will almost certainly be won with largemouth. There's plenty of vegetation and shoreline development for bass cover, and weeds and boat docks will definitely come into play for the top finishers.

Brother in law and his wife were marshall's last weekend at the Elite series. They said it was a wonderful experience and they both learned a lot from the pros! Here are a few picts.

I'm concerned because we haven't seen many fawns……..Date and time is off. This is July.

My place is up in 8P. I have 5.5 hour drive to get to camp from Northport LI. The hunting is fabulous, love the area and always get a doe permit. Bought 7 years ago and never looked back. 100 grand will still get you a nice chunk of property.

She's saying "need some snow, need some snow"

Wow that would be cool but Yeah how does that work with shotgun??

Years ago we transported the deer from camp to Long Island. Got dirty looks even the whole family including preteen children giving me the bird!! This was on rt 17 not the Island. Had a guy make a shape with his hand like a gun and pretended to shoot my brother and I on the GWB. It all wasn't worth it. We ended up finding a meat processor at my camp and leave the deer behind. My neighbor will pick them up and store them until I come back up. It's a good excuse to get in a late season hunt. lol

Don't quote me but My BIL said Bass pro had it on sale at the 1st of the month for $169.00. You got a great deal, never bothers me to by the floor model as long as all parts are there.

Wow from this angle it looks like a tall deer. Really nice!

Next week when I put it up. Right now the main section is in the mud room and wouldn't do justice on a picture.

I have some prefect bucks on the wall so I would probably shoot the non-typical. I actually like the different looking racks.

Hope he feels better soon. It's not easy as our parents age.

Just finished putting it together. Pretty simple took about 45 minutes. I was in one a few months ago and loved it. Has a lot of room and a shooting rail that will fold up at bow season. Double rails make it real sturdy. Couldn't beat the price at Cabelas for $189.00.

Not knowing much about crossbows when do you crank that thing up to shoot?

Along the way we saw so many deer in Connecticut on the side of the highway. They were good size also. There were a "few" trees in Vermont changing colors. It was a nice ride for sure.

I actually need new camo for bow. This has been the deal for the last couple of years. I just can't seem to pull the trigger on the camo. My old stuff is ok but……..not happening again this year.lol

Must be so easy when hanging from a pole. Could drop right into a black garbage bag and off you go.

Wow he means business. Great angel on the trail to catch the game.

I remember the days just thinking about being in the stand on opening day or first bow hunt. Where the deer would come from, how big and what typeof shot. It would consume me until the day. You are normal don't worry! lol Funny how you say "catch" a deer. So many of my non hunting friend use that phrase. I say its a harvest, they laugh, you can't harvest a deer. In the end I killed it no sugar-coating the phrase and all is good. Have a great time out there and if you go up a stand make sure you where a safety harness!!

Happy Birthday!
