First-light

Nice mount, that is one trophy I hope to have hanging at the cabin one day.

Honestly the big ones I have seen have been in the morning and late afternoon. That is not to say I don't think the big boys cruise at mid day. My percentages heavily outweigh mid-day.

The 140 buck.

My boys on the cabin wall. The last photo is the 140 class buck was taken 2 years ago on the property by my brother. Fins to Feathers did the mount-real nice. Try this again. Deer on left 125 3/4 PY buck. Middle deer 4+ year old deer 21 3/4 spread. He actually had cardboard wadding from a shot in his skin. It was a lump on his leg I cut open and couldn't believe what was in there. He also had a mended broken front leg the joint was the size of a softball. Deer on the right was a 2.5 year old deer with a real unique rack. My friend shot this deer two weeks prior to me getting it. He hit it low below the stomach. Never did much damage. This is the deer I hit in the liver and found 7 hrs later. The only reason we found it was that the crows were starting to peck at the wound and were causing a ruckes and we investigated.

Wooly, You never disappoint! Glad your back, I love the picts. That is some story about the fawn. I don't know something like that happen to me and I just may lay down my arms-yea I'm a softy.

Couple of low variegated holly bushes, Penn wall stone filled with perennials. Best thing you get it all on sale this weekend! Looks nice John.

Never heard about it, I use code blue scent and like it.

It's all in the eye of the beholder. WNYBH is not off base. Just his opinion and I think he stated that. Wilki you posted your work and of course that means its open to discussion. I like the mount but think the face is a bit over-done. Overall it is a real nice mount, you do nice work. I have a 10 pt Pope and Young deer I had mounted. It was at the time the head molds just started coming with muscle detail a bit more than needed. I had the deer mounted by a very respectable taxidermist. It came back and probably 75 % of the guys that saw it didn't like it. I loved it because it was a bit different than the classic shoulder mount. I remember that 10 point with a bigger neck and less muscle detail, the mount has just the opposite. I didn't bitch and moan because I really liked how unique it looked. It's all in the eye of the beholder!

Very nice, I see he really respects what he hunts and treasures each as a trophy!

Nice deer Culv

My ex and kids still don't have power in Huntington Bay. They say maybe by the EOD or tomorrow.

Had a custom shed built, 12 by 18. I keep the quad, mower and trailer in there plenty of room. Matches my cabin and doesn't look junky.

I like that Elmo.

I have a bunch of trees also. They are very old and looks like they never got trimmed. Branches growing in crazy directions. I wouldn't know where to start?

You guys know how to eat!!! Nice plots

I like it!

a redesign, I'll chime in after I take a look around.

Just started to kick up here in Enorthport. Noticed the wind gusting a bit and a some heavy rain. I hope I'm snoring away when the worst hits!

Fireworks are illegal in NY but we all at some point have had them or been a part of a private celebration that has had them. I think the law is the law and to sell that stuff over the counter here in NY is wrong. Sure you can get it on the internet but not being able to buy it in your local feed or sporting good store should light that little bulb in your head that it's illegal. Also it would be very easy for retailers on a web site to ask that you check your game laws before purchasing.

I remember fishing right after Gloriar, sound was all churned up and full of big rollers. we caught zip!

It happens every year like clockwork. It can vary from year to year but it always shows up on my doorstep around late August! Slowly but surely the anticipation of that first crisp fall day is stirring in my sole. A slight change in the color of trees around me and the smell of the fall woods brings me back over and over again to a time of the year I long for. Deer hunting is a big part of that and thoughts of time spent in the stand and in the cabin with family and friends brings a feeling of ease to the hectic life I lead. I absolutely love this time of year, people say why?The world around you shutting down and getting cold? Au Contraire, it's just the beginning and heating up!

Good luck!

8P got it!

Just got mine in the mail. Took 5 days in all, not bad. I think this is the way to go in the future, the computer doesn't give you a hassle at checkout!
