My wife has some decent pics I will look for...I tried to get a pic of this one perched across the lake from the house while fishing last week....he took off before I could get in iphone range: I see them nearly daily and have often seen them in groups of 4 or more circling in a single vertical column starting at about 50 ft high and topping out at barely visible heights. I've seen immature birds learning to fish. I have also walked out my back door to see an eagle lift-off my roof less than 15' above my head. Like anything else... If you live where they eat you see them a lot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This harvest plot mix I put together is greenin up right before my eyes thanks to last weeks rain: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Went from 1 breeding pair in 2007 to atleast 8 eagles and also several ospreys here on Otisco. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is some of the work I was involved in...planting different generations of American/Chinese hybrids....gradually making it nearly all American with just chinese blight resistance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice stuff grow...as usual pure four season dedication. I've done a lot of work in cooperation with the American chestnut foundation and a few chestnut orchard/studies. Planted thousands over 5 years on 2 separate 10 acre high fenced plantations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you rain gods...got a healthy dose here and at the lease last night and this morning: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Force all farmers through a dmap system prior to red tag eligibility and those who don't allow Sunday hunting get 14% fewer red tags than farmers who do. Meanwhile if farmers don't fill a percentage of dmaps first they don't get red tags for the offseason...if farmers don't employ fair chase strategies in season they get no help.

I agree with Mike that this second amendment approach was a born loser. That said I stand behind my statement, if political farm organizations want to continue to block Sunday hunting then the red tag system should be amended to exclude those farmers unwilling to open more fair chase opportunities.

I did head over to the lease and got some stuff done. Sprayed the little plot the farmer freshly brushogged for me...still not positive what I'm planting there: Covered last weeks planted rows with buckwheat trimmings I raked off of the mowed strips...got some good new sprouts in the planted rows despite the lack of rain: Tilled the remaining mowed rows...deep rich and loamy soil: Broadcasted with WGF Sorghum, FM Peas, Soybeans, Annual Clovers and a little Buckwheat: Covered by raking...I really hope we get every little bit of rain they are calling for over the next month...and they aren't calling for much: I also checked on the lush buckwheat and peas on the Boomerang Plot: I'll be tilling the Boomerang under before it goes to seed but I don't want to plant my Turnips, Beets and Oats until later into July, hopefully with some rain: Finally I took a stroll down the Logging Trail plot I planted in mid-April...glad I did it's dark in there all day now: Lots of work done, time for a rain dance!

I got a bunch right in front of the cam as well (I pulled the cards I'll post some good ones)...anytime you are on otisco stop by and reveal some of your tricks for up close wild life encounters!I have the cams there because they are facing NNW and also have a good amount of shade during otherwise direct sun periods...they are also right by my ground blind so it's a familiar view (cams are on tree on far left): Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Almost nothing but constant daylight action on this week old 1/2 mowed 1/2 planted Diamond plot...all hours and all comers big and small: I may head over and spray that chunk that the farmer brush hogged for me and check on the other plots. I've been busy working on my "lake plot" aka my house. Refinished the frontage: Made way for wrap around counter/shelves in the breakfast nook: Cleaned up the sun room and moved the dining room table into there: This am I did some hard work fishing (about a dozen assorted panfish will be lunch): Now I'm just tapatalkin away and enjoying this beautiful summer weekend: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm planting some purple tops and sugar beets mixed with buck forage oats and annual clovers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hunt whitetails in jersey in mid-september, but I would try to get out a couple times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm looking forward to pulling the card and getting a high res pic of this bruiser: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've had quite a few great pics of mommas and fawns... Had a set on one of my plots all morning (these are texts from my mms cam so the resolution is low): http://huntingny.com/forums/index.php?/topic/22241-First-Plots/page__view__findpost__p__306505 Looks like there was plenty of mast to maintain a healthy herd during this past long/hard winter.

Yeah stupid scientists and their stupid science... I'm also thinking I might start adding a little extra mercury to my fish for flavor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree with the article's sentiment that we do everything in our power to eliminate it from most consumer goods, yet we allow people to just litter it willy-nilly out of a firearm...why not continue to transition to all non-toxic shot. I believe there are others on this forum who will attest that using non-toxic shot goes a long way in diffusing an argument often used against hunters by conservation minded groups who might otherwise support the controlled harvest of game.

Sucks...I've harvested so many animals on Sundays since moving to NY. Farmers should not get red tags if they are gonna block fair chase methods of population control. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Happy to be getting some rain... The half-mowed half-planted Diamond plot has had a steady stream of visitors: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
