Dad 6424

my family are meat hunters we look for the does with out young ones but will not shoot that years young and will take any buck that has 3points one side we also hunt for the big bone heads and we dont shoot unless its going to be a kill NO brown and down BUT LATE MUZZEL LOADER WE TURN ANY tag in to a doe tag as the law states

The heat is on had a small 6 come in last night grunting nose to the ground and he stunk that boy was rutting maybe more are

we have ice on the winshields this morning great start will see whats moving

WHAT THE FU#$

from a little more up state delaware county there has been photos and sightings here for years Now some were put in the books as large Bob cats But the photos dont lie there are big cats in NY state

The string jump or matrix moveas my son calls it. Is very real happens alot every one that bow hunts WILL have it happen to them at some point if you can see there eyes they can see you and there going to be ready to run in the blink of your eye and as was stated in above post there going to drop there bodys to run always aim the lower 1/3 of the chest if they have an eye on you good luck and be safe

I have never had any luck grunt calling this early i would wait till they get real stupid i think we are a week or so from that. In the area we hunt the big boys are crusing there scrap lines we are seeing the same bucks at just about the same times the last 3 days my son missed a nice 8 last night will try to load a photo of the buck later tonight good luck be safe

ok so let me get this right ALL OF YOU want the youth season just SOME OF YOU JUST NOT ON YOUR TIME i dont care when IT IS get hte kids involved theres more deer out there there shooting the first thing that come past let them hunt

stay with it the big boys like bad weather

see doc get xrays mri and try a lighter draw weight bow

How many of you have been scouting and came across pot plants

one of the farms i hunt on has an Albino wood chuck and the owner wont let it be shot cool pic

Have both use both like both ever try 243 ??? good flat shooters and no kick

wow dont know if I would or not if it is not illegal DAMN SKIPPY IT WOULD BE HANGING very cool

Dont get upset about not seeing deer every time and enjoy the time have fun its a gift to do what we do I spend as much time as i can in the stands my wife goes and sits with me more eyes on the shooting lanes and keeps me from napping lol just have fun .dont get me wrong it is also being ready with the right equipment and making the shot count in the words of Ted Nugget.aim small miss small good luck

keep going if you have a bleet or a grunt call use it lightly get to the stand. I have had deer spook run away blowing till i couldnt hear them any more then come blowing right back to where they were spooked from to check out what it was that scared them and shot them

wood heat is the best because it will heat you more then once some of you are thinking no way let me show you 1 when you cut and load it 2 you unload and stack it 3 you bring it to the house 4 you burn it in the stove and 5 when you clean the ashes and the smoke stack lol we have had a Nasua stove in the house for years best $ 500 ever spent its an older stove late 70s and is air tight to this day last 18 to 20 hours when they had the add on tv they would toss a stick of dynamite in them and close the door the guy would say so you think your stove is tuff

Congrats Reeltime nice buck hope every one has that kind of luck what area were you hunting in ?

all I can say is SWACKERS they fly true and fact shot a buck last year right in the pumper( right where i had put the pin ) after it cut a tree branch off

In the area we hunt they are hitting the apples hard also corn fields

for sale compound bow arrows camo outfit steel broadheads rockyboots and tree stand and game camera ISO sharp stick and rock let me know asap as I have been doing this wrong for 30 plus years ..................... WTFrig !!!!! is wrong with people

Sounds like you are doing some things right Vince as was stated in some of the other posts deer move early in the am and closer to sun down 10 am getting in the stand is a litte late for my area about an hour or so before sunrise most of my kills hapen just as the shooting time is upon me dont pack to much as you will get tired just going to and from the site I do some hunting up north and in maine the best things to take with you are one good gutting knife in a sheth not rapped in a bandana if you slip or fall might stab your self then your in a mess a good small compass a good head lamp a small first aid kit( if your a long ways out ) 2of 3 bottles of water some lunch if your useing a stand get a light weight climber better that hualing your your climbing steps back and forth and most of all get to where you know the deer are like the othe side of the hill you were telling us about and once your set up stay there Deer move at all times of the day and most of all be safe and have fun its one of lifes greatest things to do what we do good luck ooooo yaaa and if theres bear thats a plus they are tastey too lol

congrats good hunt

Hello and Welcome Al Lunn good luck and if i ever get in to that area i will let you know

You did the right thing as much as you want them gone its better use your head and do the right thing talk to the folks see what happens if they dont do something in a timely manner then all bets are off and take the dogs to a pound if you find them loose again it may cost you a little cash to drop them off BUT its going to cost them more to get the dogs out after it happens they will do something (loose tags before taking to pound)
