Anyone else NOT seeing any buck sign so far????
First-light replied to Pipecrew's topic in Bow Hunting
I'm over in Steuben and still have corn up but we are seeing lots of sign. Rubs and scrapes. -
It's called rage! You never know what the hell the other person is going through and what will set them off. Take care of yourself and let the police do their thing.

That is so great! I'm divorced also, thankfully I have the kids close and take them to camp often. It seems from your post you have a real special relationship with him, the bond probably never felt stronger. Congratulations to the proud father! Way to go Brandon, keep it up!

Geno, Your right about what your neighbor is killing. I have a place that for the most part is bordered by people practicing QDM. The guys that were pushing it the most in the last couple years took some small bucks on their property.. You never know, are they telling you to practice QDA so they see and take more bucks, hmm? I hope this is not the norm.

Howdy!

Way to go! It's a great feeling bringing along a kid in the woods. When you or they harvest something it brings it full circle. I took my two daughters squirrel hunting this year and they loved it!

Ohio Hunter Arrows Monster Buck With Crossbow
First-light replied to First-light's topic in Bow Hunting
"I hunt with a crossbow because of a military injury in 1992, I have had 2 reconstructive rotator cup surgeries on my right shoulder and 1 on my left. I have 60% mobility in my right shoulder. I can not draw a bow back without severe pain." A quote from Steve. -
Steve, So what is your take on the Primos product silver XP with earth scent. I am currently using this product.

Ohio Hunter Arrows Monster Buck With Crossbow
First-light replied to First-light's topic in Bow Hunting
I think you missed my point. Just taking this hunting situation and the way he harvested the buck is questionable is some minds. Was it legal, yes in Ohio. We are a big group that come from all different types of hunting areas (replies in F/S)and we all have our opinions. Some areas hold giants and some don't. Some want to hold giants but never will, no matter what is put in place. I guess when you used the word laughable in describing the negative commentary, I was mistaken in what you meant. We have alot to debate in NY and like I said, I hope we get it right. -

WNYBH, If you go to the F/S site and look at all the replies you see a divided group. This is the hunting community, I don't think this is laughable like you say. This is exactly what we are enduring here in NY. AR's, the use of crossbows and changing of season lengths. Laughable no, something for serious debate yes, I hope we get it right. -

First-light replied to First-light's topic in Bow Hunting
I started this thread and want to be fair to Steve. He has gotten some negative responses on the F/S board and he replied about how he took the deer and his circumstances. 1) No high fence 2) Baiting is legal and only baited to keep the does in the area. (I'm not so sure on this) 3) Uses a crossbow because he is handicapped. 4) Is a regular guy like you and I and works hard for what he earns. I don't like the baiting part but it's legal. As for the crossbow it was used, in my opinion, in the right circumstance. A trophy indeed, it will look good on the wall. -
Hoyt 300, I helped a 14 year old get his first bow deer last year, it was one of the best experiences in the outdoors for me. I hope to do it again this year. keep up the good work!

http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/gallery/hunting/2010/10/helicopter-hunter-arrows-monster-ohio-buck-crossbow?photo=0 So "Stevo" kills this huge buck hunting over a mineral lick and baiting with corn and apples, pretty impressive to me, not! Did I say he used a crossbow?
-
Yup, I would do the same, can't track w/o blood. Thanks
-
Good shot but why the hell would they go back at 4am? A possible wounded bear in the dark?

So a Coyote Whizzes in My Mock Scrape...
First-light replied to Cabin Fever's topic in Trail Camera Pictures
Just goes to show ya, find a scrape and piss in it!!! -
NYFUR, How about the story and are you mounting it? I think it's real cool when you see them in the woods and we would all benefit from your experience. Not many of us have taken bear and with their numbers up we need all the help we can get.
-
Nice, I hope you shot him in the Howard area, we need a couple taken out. Great picts!
