I thought only minorities, environmental activists, lapse communists, old hippies and illegal immigrants voted democrat anymore. Not that im a big fan of the Catholic church. -

This is already tested for and the option for abortion is given. The result depends on your world view. Naturalist would kill and throw on the trash heap. I know several christian women who knew there children would be born mentaly handycapped and they still had them. One teen I know is quite the archer and use to compete. So it depends on how selfish a person you are, if you want to do what you want to do and no one is getting in your way then you would probably kill your kid. -

If its passed on then is it really gay? Or are all people just Bi, and homosexuals just prefer the company of same sex because of emotional tragedies caused by members of the opposite sex? I know a lot of lesbians who were married and it ended badly and what do you know now they are lesbians in terrible relationships. -
Dag man you are lucky arent you!! Nice finds!! I spent about 3 hrs cris crossing about 10 acres of the most spider infested thicket you've ever seen the other day. Got bit by one of those nasty looking grayish black ones right on the arm. I was about to brush him off and crunch he bit me . Bastage!! Anyhow no Horn to show for it either, I wasnt expecting much but everytime I drove by it all I could think was I havent looked in there yet.

Also not born that way! Evolution would not have allowed for same sex to continue. The first gay would have been the last gay. It is a choice plain and simple. I wish the Gays would just come out and say it. I like it thats why I do it, instead of hiding behind the closet of I was born that way!! -
Had a huge 8 point try and stick his whole rack in the car driving thru old Forge about 10 yrs ago. He really liked triskets and he wanted the whole box. Probably for the salt.

Got them all on twisters, spinners or rattletraps. Biggest river smallies I ever got were two 20 in fish . largest smallie I ever got was a 23in beast out of chenangovalley state park. I didnt have anything to weigh him with but I had my tape on me. put him back in to terrorize the stocky trout.

Been killing the smallmouth for the last week on the susquehanna. Last Tuesday I got 23 and Saturday I got 15 smallies and a baby walleye. I took my wife and daughter out today to join in on the fun and they had a blast. Here's some pics.

I have a cable that runs from a 12 volt battery that the bears love to chew to pcs. Its been spliced back together 3 times but it still works.

To funny I was thinking the same thing.

Got any nucler power plants around you?
-
If those are decent I would love to see the good deer around there!!

That pic with a banjo added in would keep me off the property thats for sure. Dueling banjo's anyone?

Oh man what a waste of perfectly good deer meat.

Anything that resembles food is a good place to start. The Acorns are falling already so I will be finding a place up on the mountain in the Oaks this weekend. Ive had my cam out since January in various spots and I just got a tiny spike buck last saturday as the first deer with antlers on it.

Also no need to buy expensive broadheads, I have killed 90% of the deer I have shot with a bow with walmart $10 specials. All pass throughs. Granted most shots I take are broadside and under 20 yrds, so kind of hard not to get a pass through on that. But as long as the broadheads are straight and sharp no matter the price it will kill a deer just as dead. Though when I was younger I killed a doe with my recurve with an arrow I found laying on the ground out in the woods and the broadhead was all rusty and the arrow was 4 inchs to long. I wouldnt suggest doing that but shot placement is more important than broadhead used!

I finished one off last yr with the same thing, down through the neck and between the shoulder blades. He was pretty much on his last legs and the DEC gave me another tag. My uncle shot a 4 point 10 yrs ago that had 2 broadheads broken off and healed over in his shoulder. Talk about an unlucky deer.

Steep and thick and no where near food sources like fields. This particular spot is up on a flat ( funnel ) on the side of a mountain. I once saw a chart the DEC did on embryos taken from car killed doe. They would measure them and they could tell the aprox. conception date. There were dates from the middle of oct peaking about the 10 - 15 th of Nov and petering out from there all the way to Jan and Feb even. So with that info I conclude that if you hunt the doe starting in late Oct. by the middle of Nov you are bound to see a buck checking those doe out.

All I can say is Its been like clock work every yr for the last ten yrs without fail, If I go up and get in my stand on the first monday of the 2nd week of November. Without fail I will have up to 3 or 4 bucks chasing doe around and around the hill. This can last for up to a week. Start of the week it is usually small bucks tword the end the big boys join in. I have seen fighting during this time also which was spectacular to watch. Actually watched a decent four point kick the snot out of a larger racked 8 point. It was an MMA grudge match, blood and all, 8 point limped off with the four taking the doe off in the other direction. Now if I go to the other side of the river I dont even see bucks chasing doe around till the third week of Novemeber so I dont know what to tell you. All I know is I once took oct 28th thru Nov 1st off to hunt and it was crickets for me. Also Ive been hunting for 26 yrs around here and it has always varied depending on what hill you hunt. I have hunted a whole season one time just 3 miles from where I do now and never saw any rut. Bucks feeding side by side in the field all season long and yet come spring there were fawns so who knows. I dont put to much stock in predicting the unpredictable. Like I said I love the guy, Ive talked to him before and he seems to be a standup guy but I dont put any stock in his predictions.

If he walked in front of me I would shoot without remorse. But I know the average rack size for my area. A 130's buck is a bruiser around where I hunt and anything over is an awesome deer. Good buck by NY standards!! My question would be, is there bigger deer on the property? Also more than likely if you are seeing him now he will be somewhere else miles away by November.

Being short probably saved it from the storm. My dads corn in his garden was about 8ft tall and the wind nocked it flat to the ground and then the hail beat it to a pulp.!!!!

Make a big sign that says this camera is on posted property next time I take it. Put it on the tree with the camera and check back later if gone good if not take it and report it to the DEC. No need to make problems with the neighbors because during deer season they can make all sorts of problems for you, especially if you own a small parcel of land. I only once went to destroying someone elses property on land I hunt only because the guy was warned twice about putting up permanent tree stands. I think he got the picture when I chopped up his wooden ladder stand and piled it up next to the tree. He never came back.
