    I have real big areas of standing pine. The forest is rich in resources right now, I guess they should be fine. Every 7 years NYSEG comes and spays the ROW on my property. This happened this year and it killed so many berry bushes. Not to say there insn't any left but the critters need all they can get.

    I'm jealous! Love the lists but my opener is still way off. Have to wait until the 18th I have about 7-9 years before I join the ranks of living where I hunt. Good luck!!!

    My best deer are from the 2nd of November on. May just have to take that week then. Thanks to both of you!

    My camp is 6 hours away from home. Now most of the time we have a couple of people going so we split the driving. I have always spent two long weekends at camp one in late October (3 days) and one in early November(4 days). With the longer bow season last year I was up for a bonus weekend at the beginning. My thought is for future seasons, to maybe hunt that first weekend and take a full week off early November and forget about the late October weekend. What do you guys think?

    Warmer temps above 45 degrees will keep the deer movement to a minimal. Early morning late evening best bet. There is still so much food available for them in the woods they really don't have to move until darkness and cooler temps. I feel if you can find an area in the woods with a lot of acorns or apples it might be a good place to set up. looks like Sunday of next week will have the temps cooling off.

    Just picked up my kids at the x's house. Her boyfriend told me one of his workers was testing out a new stand in the backyard. (This is on Long Island) He wasn't strapped in and fell 20 feet. Broke his back and shoulder. Be careful guys!

    Schuyler county off of rt 79 near Watkins Glen. There is government property that holds big deer, pretty big track of land you could get lost. Try that.

    Crows......When Sandy hit last year all you heard day in and day out were generators. I got up to camp and thought opening morning would be so peaceful and quite in the woods, nope! The camp down the road didn't turn off their generator until early afternoon, thought I was going to be sick.....lol

    I have them also Eddie. Been doing it for a long time and enjoy it. Kind of keeps my memory sharp!! lol Belo, The DEC ask a certain amount of Bowhunters to do a survey each time they go out in the field. How many doe, Buck, Turkey and other animals you see. You fill in the survey at the end of each day in the field and mail it back at the end of bow season. You get a patch after 5 years.

    As I get older the "thrill of the kill" is starting to fade. I have never liked walking up to an animal struggling for its last breath, looking it in the eye, knowing you caused its demise. The high 5's don't bother me, whatever floats your boat. I actually like a solitary moment with the animal, give thanks, and know that it will feed many people. Some people don't understand how I can kill a deer but on the other hand love them so much. That is the piece these people will never ever be able to comprehend, that's why I call myself a Hunter.

    Happy Birthday guys!

    WTF?????

    Nice 8

    Sunrise sunset is a good one along with the tags not filled out right.

    These two go hand and hand but I think using another persons license (wife,sister) to tag a second buck in a certain season and not reporting harvested deer.

    Doe, Have to let me know how you like that thing. Been on my list but can't seem to pull the trigger. My Tahoe still has some life in her. Good luck with the truck, I want picts!

    Your right Steve my bad. BTW you guys realize that you have put the toilet paper in the toilet and flush???? Can't teach an old dog a new trick. I just might hire those White Trash folk next year. Oh yea your deer hunt weekend is December 21st and 22nd. Love it or leave it!

    Don't worry Elmer those guys will end up eating all that stuff before "first light"! Look at'em 2 brains = 0 lol.

    Disagree With limited time to hunt l don't want mandates on what I can shoot. With that said hunters at my camp get to shoot a small buck if it's their first. That goes for gun and bow. If your a seasoned hunter I ask that you pass on the small ones unless it is your last hunt for the year and you have 0 venison.
