New York Hillbilly

I’ll take a stab at this. 19.5 inch inside spread. 167 lbs dressed.

I’ve seen almost as many coyotes as deer from the stand I’ve been in, so trying something different. I moved way to the top ridge of my property where I seldom hunt. There are 4 active scrapes 15 yards directly in front of me, and 2 on the trail behind me. It’s pretty up here, slightest of breezes, and comfy in 7M. Happy Sunday!

Like I said the last go around to all those driven by hate, you will get the America you vote for. You better be able to look into the mirror, and the eyes of your children and grandchildren after you pull the lever. You are not voting to make history, you’re voting for their future.

Just let another spike live to see another day. Was an easy shot but too little for what I’m shopping for at the moment.

Soggy, drippy, chilly! 7M

I haven’t squirrel hunted in years, but when I did they were some of my best days in the woods. And, I always loved eating them.

I’m looking forward to the morning sit. It will be my first one this season. Glad it will be cool temperatures. My fingers are crossed there will be deer, and NO TICKS! With only an 1 1/2 hour sit the other evening, I woke up the next day with a tick buried into my right hip. A freaking tick, even after scanning myself and showering after being out there. Too many tick bites in my lifetime. I hate ticks!!!!

At 5:30 I hear crunch crunch crunch and I stand up. I get my bow ready and here comes a healthy spike of about 12” each side, with the right side a small extra point, making him a 3 pointer. He took his time coming up my footsteps all the way to my stand, and then passed me about 10yards. First quartering towards , then broad side, and then quartering away as he passed me. Easy shot, but I chose to pass. With it supposed to get to 70 degrees again this week, it was gonna either have to be a big buck or I was not shooting. Then I head more crunching and see a buck about same size as the first but with only one 4-5 inch spike on the right side. He stayed behind me about 40 yards and stood there for a long time watching the first spike. The first day spike went past, the second spike stayed there staring, and then down in the gully behind the single spike I see another buck. This one was a bit bigger a deer and turned out to be a narrow 6 pointer. They both got antsy with the wind swirling and finally trooped off up the hill. So even though I did not shoot, it was still a lot of fun. It has been a long time since I saw three bucks together. It looks like this may be a fun season.

In and up for my second short sit of the season. Drove out to Rochester for my dentist appointment on Friday, and spent the next two days with my 7 year old grandson doing up the Halloween thing. Lol Got back this morning and finished tucking in my bee hives, so now I can concentrate a little more on deer. Had a big doe about 30 yards away giving me the stare down on my way in. A lot of leaves fell since last week, and really opened up the woods. It’s overcast, windy, and chilly here in 7M. Congratulations to you guys that got deer already!

Up and in for the first time this year. My first year bee keeping has taken a lot of my time, attention, and energy. After getting them mostly winterized today I figured I would treat myself to a the last 1 1/2 of this really pretty afternoon. There are 5 scrapes on the logging road I take to my stand. All of them within about 60 yards of the stand, but not where I can shoot. I definitely can see anything that heads that way though, so might provide a sighting at least. Good luck to you all this season! NYH

A rifle and a handgun, but chose to choke it to death! haha

The inventor of the Happy Meal?

This may sound nuts, but I have had the same problem more often than not for years. My posts will just freeze up to the point I would just quit trying and move on.

Yet another hate filled asshole!

Worked late and almost missed this. Happy Birthday Eddie!

Crows wing spread.

Cool! That Fox looks more like a coyote to me.

So as a vegan hunter; you plant yourself in your stand, while your family at home all root for your hunt to be fruitful, and you wait for something to turnip. : )

A few questions. Do you hunt the same place each time? How long do you usually need to wait until there is action? And, do they ever catch on that there is something far more deadly than a cat or owl out there after them, and stop showing up?

Happy Birthday!

Very nice stand! I can just picture myself falling asleep in there. lol

It’s less about who do you like, and more like who do you hate so bad you will vote against your own interests, the safety of this Country, and even your childrens future. It is sick! Sadly, there are people so filled with hate that we ended up in this frigging mess, and with a large segment of society ready, willing, and stupid enough to do it again.

Listening to everyone claim you can’t point out the in your face reality, because you have not examined someone in person is a joke. If that is to be the case, then we need to immediately abolish telemedicine. How is it you can diagnose and prescribe via telemedicine where you see a patient on a screen once, sometimes months apart, yet cannot for someone you see dozens of times everyday, day after day, for hours on television? I believe all presidents should have thorough mental health exams as a matter of routine medical care, and the results made known. We owe it to the citizens of this country. My question has been from the start; how can any legislation or executive order signed by this or any other president who is not competent be legal? Under these current circumstances, with this president, we need not ask what did he know and when did he know it. What we need to be asking is, what didn't he know and when didn't he know it.

It's been closer to 8 years of hate mongering and brain washing of the self loathing malcontents, misfits, marxists, and mentally ill, by the Elite political class who are desperate to maintain their power, with the full support of a complicit media. @First-light As to why they did not run, in my opinion, aside from the obvious effects of shock, surprise, confusion, and fight, flight, and freeze, seeing Trump stand up and raise his fist to give comfort to his supporters that he was alive and still with them, still fighting for them after being shot, says it all. The type of people you see attending these pro America rallies appear to be cut of the same patriotic fiber as those who have been called upon so many times before to protect it, as evidenced by the immediate chants of USA, USA, when he stood. Even in the face of life threatening crisis, he will not abandon them, and they clearly will not abandon him!

Remember all the Trump haters who brought us to this point! May you all rot in hell!
