First-light

Nice buck, so they are still out there in the rut. Hope it continues into this weekend. He is really nice!

If I was bordering that place it would tick me off. Let alone they are shooting all those deer but you have a bunch of strangers hunting right next to you. I don't know, we have pages and pages of debate about QDM and AR's and then you hear stories like this. It makes you wonder about our decision makers in power.

I'm having one of those weeks at work, can't wait to fill the tank in the Hoe (Tahoe) and set the trip odometer to 325 miles! 3 days of smoke pole will do me fine!

Funny guys!

Growing out sideways then up. I wonder what makes the antler turn and go up?

Excellent story and deer!

I love this weekend of the season. When you see them they are usually in big groups by now. It's a nice way to end the season usually!

Too bad, get him with the smoke pole!

Good luck 5.9, hope you find it.

Good for you zem, it means alot to your Dad and and he'll be talking about it for a long time!

Thanks Burt. Is your turnip plot getting hit yet? The deer by me are just starting to get at the turnips. As of last week no, I will be up Sat-Mon and will check out things. My neighbor hasn't seen much the last week and says the turnips are still untouched.

You have a sister?lol

Way to go!

I think you waited long enough. I would of backed out the 1st time you jumped him. I think the way the deer was moving it was fair game for that guy to shoot at. Well you didn't get your first buck, next one will be a 10 pt! BTW I would of knocked on his door told him the story, no harm.

Good deal Bubba, turning down that shot will bring you luck next year. My turnips were not touched yet.I'm going up this Friday for three days, at some point they will hit them just don't know when.

Good luck, sounds like you will find him. I just hope the rain doesn't screw things up.

Right now NY has only 16 inspectors.

Too funny!!!!

Keep it together man, go the extra mile at all cost. It's cool you posted that.

This is turning into such a nice thread, what we have, what we've lost and what we will gain!

Get yourself a good, no, great lawyer before you sign anything. They (gas co) will take advantage of you any way they can, you have to protect yourself and your land. You want to learn about gas drilling, don't look at N.Y., don't look at PA., look at Texas. Do a search for gas drilling in Texas and find out for yourself.

Everything about that deer makes me think it's alive, it catches your eye and makes you wonder.

Years ago while transporting my deer back to Long Island I had a whole family give me the finger (there were some little kids in that car) this was on rt 17. Had people point their fingers at me in the shape of a gun, GW bridge. Was asked to move my car at a diner because people didn't want to see a dead deer while they were eating, town of Cairo. Now that I have my own camp and have a processor a few miles away they all stay up there. My neighbor picks them up and keeps them in his freezer till I get back to camp. It also costs much less ($56) to butcher a deer, boneless!

Way to go, a gut pile is a gut pile, love it!
