I have been using a case for the past 6 or 7 years. A buddy (who I've cleaned a lot of deer for) picked me up the one below as a gift. The 3 Inch blade is great for field dressing and the 5 in blade is a great utility knife when you're in the field. They're sharp and hold and edge. I sharpen once a year and use a steel in-between. https://caseknives.com/collections/sporting-knives/products/leather-hunter-two-knife-hunting-set-w-leather-sheath

I just picked up a Ruger Super Blackhawk at auction (Hessney out of Geneva, if you haven't seen them check them out) and I'm looking to have a leather chest holster made to fit. Does anyone have any recommendations for leather workers in the Syracuse to Utica area? The Oneonta area is another area I'd be interested to know if there is anyone around.

I didn't see any brows on the night time picture as well, and I would agree the day time picture looks like taller antlers. As far as the camera, all the Wildgame Innovations pictures are off of the same individual camera in the same location.

Pulled my cameras for the first time this season and have at least one good one, but I can't tell for sure if these are 2 different deer or the same one. The night time images are all the same deer but the day time image looks like a heavier deer to me but that could be wishful thinking Thoughts?

I'm looking to see if anyone has any suggestions for smoking a venison neck roast. I have a roast that I've had in a corning liquid for about 5 days and can't seem to locate a good guide for a successful smoking temp. Everything I've read says to smoke around 185° but that seems low to me. I'd be thrilled to hear your success stories or suggestions Thanks!

So I'm interested in everyone's opinion on whether or not this is the same deer. I'm thinking yes but you never know. the stealth cam pic isn't a great shot because i had the camera set too high (since been adjusted) and of course the moultrie shot is blurry. Either way, I'm starting to get excited for the season

These are a bunch from my 3 pulls this season, finally got a picture with some bone in, not a great shot though. The Moultrie cams get great reviews but they don't seem to do motion well, a majority of pictures I get from them are blurry, the cheap Wildgame Innovations camera seems to take better pictures for me.

A good friend of mine plated radishes and had really good results but I'm not sure how well they would work in the woods. and as for the ferns, that picture was taken in late fall last year so that might have played into it, either way i planned on throwing down lime to be sure. Thanks for the input

I'm looking for some good feedback on different no till seed out there. I'm looking to plant 2 plots on my hunting property that is all wooded with mostly hard woods with pines sprinkled in. In one area there is, not so much a clearing but an area where the prior owner dropped quite a few trees, allowing for a good amount of light to get through the tops of the trees (pictures posted). The other area is pretty well wooded with obligatory light reaching through the tops. My question is, has anyone had success in similar conditions with a particular product, and/or are there any suggestions based off of previous results you've experienced? Look forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions, thanks in advance.

Yes and Yes to the questions asked. I've done had my bow tuned professionally and done the research to see what is compatible. I'm really just looking to see what other bow hunters use/like

I'm looking for some insight on string decelerators. I want to put one on my Martin Exile (2011 model) to help with noise. I'm interested in what products are out there and what suggestions experienced bow hunters have when it comes to brands/kits they like the best.

I'll hold off on the exact location until the offer is accepted, haha but thanks for the insite

We are in the process of purchasing a house located in the town of Constantia, zone 6K. I have predominately hunted southern tier and was wondering if anyone hand any incite into the hunting quality of 6K. All input is appreciated, thanks.

I've done some more research ... check out Hi-Tek Sports Camera Mount cheaper and great reviews

I had a friend get the new license and have the same problem with his DMP (ie. carrying over to the next tag). I have a Yellow license for 14-15 Walmart didn't have the new printer yet so i would expect this to be common knowledge by DEC. In your case you probably got a fairly new DEC officer who didn't know what he was talking about.... As long as it reads 2014-2015 your legal

I just picked up a Hero 3 and am hoping to get some good footage from the tree stand this year. Looking at GoPro's Sportsman mount however the design doesn't look ideal for a compound and the price isn't great either. Anyone have any experience with aftermarket mounts that could make some suggestions?

Saw these broadheads in a magazine while I was waiting to get my hair cut. I've done some reading and all the reviews have been good, however I don't like to rely on reviews posted on a site trying to sell the product. I don't want to get into the Mechanical vs. Fixed argument but does anyone have any experience with these broadheads? If so I'd be interested to hear. Check out the link below too, it shows a make-shift penetration test. http://heavyhittersoutdoors.wordpress.com/2013/08/20/toxic-broadhead-penetration-test-review/

I acctually use the Rage 2 Blade haven't shot them at a live target yet but have heard good things. I do want to try some fixed blades as well for shooting options and to see which i prefer

So I have a set of Mechanical broadheads and want to try some fixed blades as well. I really wanted to try the Shuttle T-Lock but have been turned off by the small cutting diameter. The reviews Have read are all good with the exception of one person who said that they dull easy and dont fly like field points at all, which was contrary to all the other reviews. Anybody used these broad heads, and if so would you recommend them?

So I'm looking at a Apex Gear Tundra not reviews on ganders sight but its between that and the TruGlo i think

The composite on my Copper John cracked after I had the bow for about 3 months, never dropped always stored securely, the composite its made out cracked near the mounting screw. I assumed it was over tightened but nothing I ever touched. Anyway I found a Tru Glow 3 pin that has good reviews and is made of metal

It was by Copper John, smaller company but it was on the package i purchased. Its too bad too i'd like to give business to these smaller companies but after an experiance like that i wont buy their product

Looking to get a new 3 pin sight for my bow the one that came on it as a package was garbage and broke, the manufacturer didn't seem to care. Any suggestions?

Im getting ready to buy new broadheads and am looking for some feed back. I have been considering the Trophy Taker Shuttle T-locks but have recently been thinking about mechanical as well. I have looked at the Grim Geaper Razortips but im not even sure if they are leagal in NY, by the looks of the pictures i dont think they are. If anyone has some suggestions as far as fixed vs mechanical or tips they like id be interested in your input

Im still looking for a small hunting lease around Sylvan beach in Oneida or Oswego counties anyone know if there is anything available?
