  1. WNY, Is the camera positioned there just for picts and video or will you hunt that? I ask cause once that corn is cut things will change in that spot.
  2. 1. I'll be hunting from the ground as I cant see myself climbing a tree. Are the pop-up, tent-style blinds worth the money, or will I be just as well off propped up against a tree? Do they at least keep you a little warmer, out of the wind/rain/snow? I like propping up against the tree so my vision isn't hindered by being in the blind. Yes they help when its nasty out. 2. Doe scent / buck scent, does this stuff work? whats the best? I've ordered tink's scent bomb package that comes with a drag and one of the strap-on boot pads. How far do you drag the scent? I have used scent in the past. I like code blue or red gel. Tinks is good also. I like to find a scrape and drag from the scrape to my stand. 3. De-scenting sprays, detergents, deodorants, clothing....I know deer have a great sense of smell...but how much of this stuff is over-kill...or is it all pretty necessary? Some guys swear by it, I don't. I like leaving my stuff in a scent free bag with some pine cones and dirt, thats all. I also pee off my stand........... 4. I've been trying to do a little scouting on the land that I'll be hunting. I'm not real sure what I'm suppose to be looking for. My guess would be food sources (acorns?), and possible deer trails. What things should I be keeping an eye out for when scouting that may improve my chances of taking a deer this year? Deer poop! lol Depends what type of area you hunt. If it's deep woods with not much crops yes acorns would be good. A lot of ag around hunt the edges and trails to and from food sources. Just look for the physical sign, prints, poop, scrapes and rubs. Oh by the way if your from Texas you know a lot about feeders which are illegal in NY. No baiting, minerals and no throwing of corn feed!!! You will be banished from this site! lol Good luck I hope you shoot one!
  3. Spit, the natural anti fogger, that's what I used when scuba diving.
  4. Yea it's from the island. There are plenty of big bucks out east. Good luck guys!
  5. 9/13 I agree with NFA ADK I want a recount!
  6. Not my picture, from another site. Something to get pumped up about!!!
  7. This is really sad. Thoughts and prayers to all involved.
  8. Let's follow what Doc said and let it go. We all love this sport and are very passionate about it. I have been in CH's position on this site, not for a picture or video, but for what I believe really happens at sunrise and sunset. (legal hunting hours) Everyone means well but the thread is getting all twisted. I want to see more food plot picts WNY, CH more of the friendly doe w/o the corn and I'm heading to camp this weekend to check cams that have been out for a month. I'll post as soon as I get back. Got to love hunting, brings out the beast in us!! lol
  9. I have no use for stuff like that. Its a shame cause the uninformed lump us all together.
  10. How much property does your group hunt G-Man?
  11. It's social media, post something and you better expect all kinds of responses. (especially if there is a picture or video showing something illegal) You can view it as being too harsh but these guys are stating the obvious. I noticed the corn buy didn't say anything. I also knew that there would be some comments about the illegal corn and OP better have some thick skin. Hunters are some very passionate people.
  12. 1-2 for myself. Best year off of my 56 acres was 5 deer between 4 hunters.
  13. Call them "Widow makers" in your case "Widower makers" hope your OK.
  14. Now that a deal was cut with the Russians do you think he was smart enough to include the Super Bowl ring???? lol
  15. Seems like we are the early birds around here. Just thought I would start off my 3001 post with you. That is unless someone spoils the fun.......I'll be up at 6:15!
  16. This thread has been going on for a while, but I have to say I'm a morning guy!!!!
