Youth gun hunter, Youth bow hunter can treestand hunt with mentor.

Hey why not use Mom's license that's what she got it for right??

Your right they were trikes back then, quads weren't invented yet.

TeeBugg We hunted last two weekend and it seems the bucks were responding to calls. We saw no actual chasing going on.

Funny how years ago we all road 4 wheelers close to our stands. Now much older we all walk. I guess we are getting smarter although I killed the biggest deer of my life standing next to my Quad on opening day. Coming out of the woods and there he was 10 feet from the quad tending 2 does, go figure.

Just looking at Facebook page for LI deer hunting. Seems like a lot of big bucks were taken this week. Congrats to all!

Doing the same thing. My only days off so I'll be out there. It is going to be 60 on Friday, a bit warm but whatever I'm hunting. You just have to be alert at all times. Buck could slip right through undetected with the wind howling, no cat naps!!! lol

Hey-you talken about me?????lol

Great job!

Horrible feeling when you make a good shot and are tracking the deer only to have the blood stop. Hope he finds it.

Brother saw 4 doe Saturday afternoon and nothing this morning. We will be back up Thursday-Sunday. His girls who is a senior at Commack won the division 1 soccer title. Playoffs start this week and if they win Tuesday and Thursday he will be staying home for more weekend games.

Wouldn't be the first time someone did that, hope he finds it!

Nice picts. 10 and 11 have some issues with the camera, my camera does the same, you know why it is?

Amazing I have heard about stories like this. Guys meeting grouse at their stand every time out hanging around wait till a deer does that.............

Have a good trip! Deer will be here when you get back!

Good luck guys!

My brother set up a ladder stand at the bottom of my property late summer. Last weekend I kicked around the idea of hunting out of it. Got down in the afternoon and had wind gusts to 25mph. This area is wet with a lot of runoff from the hill. The tree is swaying back and forth and I'm getting a bit uncomfortable. I look down and see the roots of the tree exposed. I look around and see several trees fallen, all looked like the roots were exposed at the surface. I got the hell out of there and put the stand off limits. Could you imagine having a tree fall and being tied into it with your safety harness!!!! yikes!

Howdy I'm in Holbrook.

I like settling in and listening to whats going on around me. Nothing you can do do if you walk in and bust deer when its light out, other than say should of been here a half hour ago. There is nothing like sitting in your stand for a half hour in the dark listening to the critters all around you. Cold still morning and you can hear deer off in the distance making way to their beds or two bucks sparring, love it!

My brother will be at the cabin Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. He is dropping his daughter off at Cortland and finding his way over to hunt......

Too blurry no definition to the horns. That pict is a lost cause, sorry.

He is missing his right front hoof, got to be 6.87 year old buck, get with it!

Nothing will help that. I'll try but don't expect much.

Photoshop. Levels, exposure, curves whatever you like to use.
