  1. I thought so, I crested a hill this year doing about 40 and on the other side was a buggie creeping along. Lucky no one got hurt.
  2. That is huge, love it! Can't wait to get out again this weekend!
  3. Brother in law had two huge rubs made by his stand last saturday night, something still going on.
  4. Good post wooly. Jennifer and Steve I'm with you, a lot of sense made right there by your posts.
  5. That is really cool! You can't believe the coyotes over at my place. They start up just as the sun goes down, sounds like a pack 20-30. What did you do with the hide?
  6. Did it once in my early days of hunting. Spine shot a doe and she went down a revine. Got my friend to track her in the dark with me. We left the guns at home and brought a big knife. Found her near the bottom with no power in the back legs. My friend grabbed her ears and I slit the throat. She tried to bite both of us. It wasn't a good scene but she did die quickly after the throat was cut. I felt a whole lot better after she was down and out of her misery.
  7. Real nice buck. To be honest It seems a bit fishy. Some things just don't seem right but I am judging from pictures and a second account of the the story. That is one heck of a deer congrats to the Uncle on taking him. I'm 20% skeptical 80% congratulatory.
  8. Yea a good place. Not too many of them around anymore.
  9. Good for you! Love to see the picts.
  10. been peeing off the stand for years, does not bother the deer. Actually had a big buck come in this year 10 minutes after I went. He was down wind also. No big deal.
  11. Thanks guys. Here is a picture of the 8 pt and 6 pt my Nephew got this year. The 8 was taken at bow and was found by deer search. The tall six point was last Sunday. We are very lucky this year. To top it off my BIL who got the 8 opening day also scored in Ohio with another 8 pt at bow. Crazy year for us!
  12. Hi Zem, That smoke deal was really cool, no doe tag?? It might be a bit warm but not as warm as last Sunday, it was 64 by me. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving! I'll see my kids this morning and then head out to eastern Long Island to my parents house. I'll be back at camp next weekend and then for smoke pole. BTW what type of camp do you guys have? Is it a club and how many acres? Good luck!
  13. Good idea. I broke a safety rule this year. I'll tell you another thing it would be a great way to get other hunters involved in the sport. How easy would it be to grab a friend or a kid and bring them along.
  14. How do you get a picture like this and expect to close the deal???? Is this from another day or is someone with you? I learned a long time ago that video and trying to harvest a real big deer don't go hand and hand. If you are able to pull it off my hat is off to you. Good luck!
  15. I have a stand that is 10 yards off my line. I hunt it at bow season only. Gun season rolls around I back off 60 yards and stay on the ground. Unless it is understood that you can shoot on to another property (within limits) the guy is wrong. There are two other tree stands that are within 30 yards of me and we have never had a problem. I guess it also goes as far as knowing the other people around you and how good the relationship is. If any of my 4 neighbors shot one on my property and I wasn't in danger from the shooting I'd probably help him drag it out. I guess I'm pretty lucky. I hope that guy gets the message Sam.
  16. I agree with you. Last weekend was great the 4 of us harvested bucks and had a great time. Monday was the best day in the woods, hardly any wind you heard everything. I sat 2 days straight Sat-Sun all day and never got bored. I love it out there, it is another world, we are lucky!
  17. Yea it was a great weekend! My brothers deer was at 7:45 Opening morning. Deer walked up to him and stoped broadside 10 yards. He had to do it. Good for him he didn't see another deer all weekend. Brother in laws deer was earlier about 6:50 walked from a thicket heading to the bedding area about 50 yards two shots and he was done. My nephew went to his spot in all theat heat Sunday afternoon. Kicked out a buck going in and was at his spot no more than 5 minutes and here comes this six point hounding this doe. he got him at about 60 yards and put another in him at 100 yards in the back of the head. It was a great shot. I got mine on that cool Monday morning. It was about 7:45 I had seen only two small doe all weekend in fact I think the second doe I saw was the smallest deer I have ever seen/ It looked like a 70 lbs dog. I had just looked towards the scrape and wham there he was peeing in the scrape. I picked my spot and he walked into the opening and I let him have it. Perfect shot at 80 yards top of heart and lung. Deer still went 60 yards and I unloaded on him hitting him once in the neck. I'll try to post the other 4 and 6 pt once I get picts. Will be back up weekend after Thanksgiving. There are some real big deer still out there.None of the real big ones we saw at bow or the ones that my neighbor saw wee taken yet. Good luck!
  18. What a great Dad! You rock Eddie! I should say you are a rock!
  19. My guy over by Howard had 122 by 10 Monday morning. Also some huge racked deer.
  20. We were headed to camp and came across a huge buck trying to cross RT 6. It was towards the bottom of the big hill coming out of Bear mt. When I say big and tall he was a monster. Cars were slowing down, he wanted to cross and jump the divider. Hope he didn't get hit, what a great deer thick tall white rack. I was our omen for the great weekend we had!
  21. 11 pointer nice. Hope he bred some does before he was shot. Damn I forgot there are no does.
  22. That sucks, sorry to hear. I thought about this in the woods on Saturday, opening morning what a better time to hit all the camps in an area. I make sure my guys take wallets and hide cameras and such.
