I think just the buck closet to the camera has no velvet.

Any pics?

Yes, right off cabelas.com. The boots are warm, only downside is they are big. But after about 2 min of walking you get used to it.

Thanks... I'm excited now Looks like they are getting more comfortable with the plot, using it during the day. A lot of pictures of them just chowing down with leaves hanging out of their mouth.

Finally got some pics of Bucks in the plot [smg id=238]

Ugly looking thing!

I just picked up one of those camo umbrellas that attaches to the tree... Should be great.

I'm pretty sure that would be illegal. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/8310.html

Thats the thing, as a hunter, I'd rather see them not take the crap shot. Talk more and show about scouting, prep work, plots, etc. I can care less if they kill something on camera. I wish the networks would realize this, I'm sure I am not alone on this. Now seeing a good hunt with a kill shot is great, but not every damn segment, its not realistic.

Dave, My T2i body arrived this week after waiting on a 2 month backorder!

I have 1200 Thinsulate Cabelas boots, and last year was my first season with them. WOW! My feet were TOASTY all season, and not only did that warm my feet, my whole body was warmer. And to top it off they are waterproof and they are 10 inch high boots. I went from crappy 10 year old boots where my toes were just frozen the year before and took the extreme (because of my miserable experience the year before). I am so happy with these boots and they were only 69 bucks. Love them! I do have another pair of boots I wear for bow, when its not that cold.

Check out the story here: http://www.sc-democrat.com/news/0008August/31/news3.htm It looks like someone shot a deer with a crossbow, and it sprayed some blood over a few gravestones at a local cemetery. Hopefully they catch the poacher. They must have found the arrow, otherwise how would they know it was shot with a crossbow? Thanks to Antlers to sent me over the story.

Good idea.... You never know what you'll see once the season starts.

I guess its so people don't forget to do it.... If you wait till the end of the season, most people may not remember to do it?

My father-in-laws deck is this stuff, and since it was on a diagonal, he had to do it @ 12 inches.

But now with the extra time you can just report it online when you get time and get home.

This is from the NY Big Game Mailing List: DEC is proposing changes to regulations that would extend the mandatory reporting period for a harvested deer, bear or wild turkey from 48 hours to 7 days. Many hunters hunt in remote areas that lack cell phone coverage or internet access or both, and they often stay in those locations for a week or more during the hunting season. The purpose of these changes is to provide greater flexibility for reporting the harvest of these species, while continuing to mandate those reports to enable the accurate compilation of annual take. The proposal also removes the reporting requirement for beaver and coyote. Instead, hunters and trappers will be surveyed to estimate harvest of these species. Additionally, the proposal modifies migratory game bird hunting regulations to conform to recent changes in law. To review the text of the proposed regulations, read the regulatory impact statement, and find out how to submit comments, please see www.dec.ny.gov/regulations/34113.html#part2sec230 Comments will be accepted through October 4, 2010. Please do not reply to this email to submit comments. Jeremy HurstBig Game Biologist

Im not a big fan of how much it flexes either.

Just get out there, I am sure there are plenty of deer. Its just a matter of putting in the hours. Stand placement has a lot to do with what you see. I remember my first stand, I didnt see crap, a few deer here and there. I decided to hunt this other stand we just put up, bamm, action every hour.

That stand looks pretty high. Looks like a cool spot
