First-light

Youth hut will be a trigger for license being bought. For me and my group we look forward to the August on sale date. Get a kid involved early they will be looking at that that date salivating.

Th That's real sweet Bubba, what do you give for Christmas presents, live grenades. Coming from an instructor, you should be banned.

I hear ya but too many hunters in the woods on opening day, just not for me and my girls.

After going through this thread I find the need to put my 2 cents in. We are on this website to talk about hunting. Putting out cams has now become part of our hunting arsenal. By doing this we see what goes on around our hunting property. This can be good and it could be bad. Some off us put a lot of time and effort into our property and don't need someone scaring off the game. If they are repeat offenders you should try to find out who they are and give them two options: stay off the land or deal with the authorities. This could of been a one time event, you just don't know. Maybe they needed a short-cut to get home and thought going down Eddie's trail would get them there. My neighbors daughter asked me a few years ago if it was OK to ride her horses through our property. I was totally fine with it January through September. I told her I appreciated her asking. They in return have told us we can ride the horses at any time, my both daughters ride. She shows up on my cams now and then, no big deal. Just asking goes a long way in my book. Eddie I hope the father and son don't show up on your camera any more. Just one more thing, Where my trails are visible or connect to a road I lay a big log across the trail. No big deal for me to step over but a bike or ATV would have a hard time, gets them thinking.

I hear ya, there was a lot of drama in the background....you know what I mean.

Just got back from vacation. Checked the cams and had a bunch of deer and a big bear. Most were does and small bucks. Here is the bear and one of the larger bucks.

Had a great time with the girls! Checked the cams and had many pictures. A lot of does and bucks, not too many fawns. Here is a nice buck and the large bear we have on the property. He is a big one for sure. We set up a blind in my field and caught a bunch of doe coming out around 8:30. Girls had a blast and are really into it. This may be the spot for the youth hunt this year if it all goes well.

Haven't been there in a month. Lots of cam picts! Hope the food plots are thriving! Have to satin the addition on the cabin, fix the toilet and change the locks on the place. First and most have fun with my daughters! Have a safe 4th of July all!

Nice picts Doc.

Stanky!

It's about time, can I flush now! lol glad you got it fixed.

My town seems pretty high. Grow I didn't even think of the radon problem. I will do the test this week and send it off for evaluation. It's a new basement I don't know if that has anything to do with it?

Did not, I'll do that this week. Thanks for the reminder.

The cats tail and the dogs panting keep me fanned for the moment. Although his breath is hot and the cat farts every now and then.lol Camp in 2 days can't wait. BTW I'm trying the Amish ac thing. I have the basement under the new extension, I'll give it a try!!

Finger straight, butt down muzzle up.

That is great Eddie, enjoy the day and give the bride a great big kiss from all of us @HuntingNY.com!

Grow is right. Best protection is getting your water tested before any drilling goes on in your area. The whole landscape is going to change in more ways than one. Price for land is going up, most properties are selling without mineral rights. You have to negotiate for them. Some are getting 500-1000 per acre for the rights. (depends on the area) I don't like it one bit but I will not deny a landowner selling his sole to the gas landman for more money he has ever had.

Buck and wdswtr, You boys better get eaten! Better yet how about a barbeque at Bucks new house, that will finish off the meat! lol (you get the house yet?)

That bird is evil, pure evil.....what a killing machine!

I knew you would be the first to respond! Thanks They are 8 and 12. Thanks for the info about the falls and we have been to corning but never the museum. The museum is a strong possibility.

Folks, I'm headed to camp with my two daughters. We are over by Hornell. Usually we do a day trip to someplace special. Last year it was Letchworth park. Any suggestions from you Western New Yorkers? I was thinking Niagara Falls. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Friend has one and is very happy with it.

The ads in back of Field and Stream and Outdoor life "sleep under the stars" and "catch your breakfast from a stream" The Forest Ranger ads? I can remember showing that to my folks when I was 12 years old saying, this is what I want to do! Now 37 years later I'm working in the middle of Manhattan, funny where life takes ya............

That is really cool-thanks!
