Hunters prob increased cause of all the big bucks we got now

I think the Z7 interests everyone

How NYBow - Any new trail cam pics?! I love seeing yours. I'm going up next weekend, caint wait to check out the plots and swap the cards. I hope to find a crap load of pics!

I wonder if the line is going to be like the ones around the apple store for the iPhone 45G

Wow, thats lucky and win win for you. Hope that happens for me

Hey guys, Figured I'd let you all know about http://www.huntfishnyoutdoors.com/ - They have a NY Hunting podcast covering mainly western NY. Anyways, I had a quick interview on there discussing the site. You can download the latest podcast on their site. They seem like a great group of guys and have a pretty cool thing going on with the show / podcast.

They look pretty solid, nice.

Yes, I am a big believer in that. Any service I use on the web, I look for the ability to export, just in case a service shuts down, etc. For example I host all my personal photo's on Flickr.com, there are tools to export everything off (and on).

Nice, thanks. Hopefully I can get thing thing fired up and going. I'm going to try to keep it simple, but nothing I do ever stays simple.

Wow that looks like a nice bear...

The backend will be SQL yes, but thats transparent to the user. That'd be cool.. The software I saw was horrible I mean its good for idea's, but I love web based software. Why? Because its accessible almost everywhere and its platform independent by its nature. (I'm a mac / linux guy, only use windows when forced to)

Wow real nice, congrats.

Doc - The data is going to be in a database (not excel), however, I am sure we'll be able to make it export to excel. The Hunter - Yes, actually the trip planner was one of the first things I was going to add (a basic one)

Congrats!

I've been toying around with the idea of creating a website to help log and manage your property. Why? Well, why not? I thought it would be cool to have a place to log everything down so you can go back and check history. For example, now that I have food plots, i figured it would be great log all the things we did on the food plot, why, what worked, what didn't, when I fertilized, etc etc. Keeping notes in a book is one thing, but having it stored would be even better. So the basic Idea is a user could "create" a property, then you could add different notes about the property and add logs for hunting, food plots, and trail cam photos, etc. My first concern was privacy, some people would not want to share their hunting logs or notes with the world. So my goal is from the ground is up is to bake privacy in from the start. Where you can choose what things you want to share and don't want to share. A major point of the site is to allow approved friends / family and or club members to view and contribute to your "property". So In my case, I create a property on the site, then my brother and father could login and add their own hunting notes or food plot notes. And depending on the privacy settings you set for your property, only my father, brother and I would be able to see those notes. I'm in the planning and beginning stages, however I think it could be a great tool for a lot of folks. Regardless if its usefull or less to other folks, I'm going to build it at least for my own use It will more then likely take me some time to get this project done, but I'd love to have the basic "Hunt Log" done before the hunting season so we can start tracking what we see, what we have killed, where, and how. Also, everything will be "exportable" this way if you ever want to stop using the site, you can export all of your logs to word or a text file to have for use elsewhere. This way there is no feeling that your locked into using site forever. I prefer the more open approach I'll post some more stuff later on as I hammer out more of the details. I'd love to get some feedback from folks and see if anyone would be interested in the alpha / beta testing once we get something to play with. In addition for any recommendations / idea's from now and throughout the process. Thanks

I'd love to see that if your willing to share when your done.

I just did, I'll let you guys know the response.

Hopefully If thats the case they havn't seen much, then thats a good reason to cut the dmp's.

Yeah seems odd, they cut it in 1/2. Thats a pretty big cut. I'm not bitching, just curious why. Wish they gave reason for each WMU.

I wonder why only 900 DMP's This year for our WMU? There seem to be deer (doe) everywhere.

Whats the weight on that guy? Also did it have a redish coat to him?

I guess, but I remember back 10 or 15 years ago when the yotes I saw were all scrawny. Now they are anywhere from 40lbs and up. My dad ran into a coyote at the property last week when walking the trail to the field. He estimated it at about 50 lbs, and a solid size. It was about 30 yards away, and took off when it saw him.

This is NY remember Even with a barcode, they would have no idea what to do with it. I had a hard enough time getting the DEC to give me a re-issue of my hunting safety course I took. They had it on record as me taking my hunting safety course, yet they couldnt give me a re-print because they didnt have it on file (WTF?!?) - I am a lifetime license holder that you issue a big game license to every year..... I had to call the local DEC office, then they finally mailed me a re-issue so I could use that for an out of state license (needed proof of a safety course). The whole system is fubar'd

Thats one of the reasons i don't go to Walmart, under trained, under paid, crap selection. Granted every walmart isnt like that, the one in Monticello is pretty impressive. Walmart is 100% about profit (not that any other business is not) but they take it to the extreme. I have a friend that is a vendor for them, and its a nightmare for him to deal with. He is debating to pull out for 2012 because of the crap they put him through, its almost not worth it for him to deal with them because of the slim margins. But hey it is what it is, if he isnt selling to them someone else (Chinese more then likely) will step in.
