so many more deer are killed and retrieved immediately and then subjected to poor handling before being butchered and consumed than there are deer ruined by being gutshot and left overnight ......don't sweat it, if it's beyond saving you'll know it when you butcher it.

I think that's accurate....I was wondering if burns are legal, some places boil honey or other attractants to bring them in, and when you think about it, you're not dumping anything on the ground for them to eat, and you're taking it out with you when you leave.

Blackberry Brandy....

if other people have just as much right on the property as you, I think you'll have a tough time keeping that spot locked down as your own, especially if you only hunt weekends and they hunt during the week.....you can make your stand unusable, but that's not gonna keep them out of the spot if they choose to set up their own stand.....and if there's a chance it'll rub some people the wrong way, you better hope the landowner likes you better than the other guy, I've seen people asked not to return to some property because those with permission couldn't get along and the landowner solved the problem by eliminating some of the hunters.

definitely done with a pecker......

public land?

of course you didn't find it, you put zero effort into tracking it..........I hope karma comes around and you see nothing for the rest of the season, that way you won't have a chance to do this to another deer.....and what's the plan if the neighbor finds it?, you gonna find the time to go tag it or is he going to have to use his tag.......or neither?

well of course there's too many people, that goes without saying.........not enough jobs for all of them, I'd rather have coyote eat a deer then have my money go to the welfare system, but that's a whole other discussion.

I almost had the picture of the L.I. Cougar, but she smashed my camera before I could get away.....

first let me say I enjoy your videos and posts...but in this one, it appears that the deer are as much interested in the decoy as they are disinterested.....is this a spot where they usually feel comfortable and the introduction of the decoy is secondary to their comfort zone?, or did the decoy and scent actually play a part in bringing them in?..once again nice job videoing it, but if the deer are already accustomed to feeding here for one reason or another, I think it's best to say that the decoy doesn't scare them off...not so much lure them in.

most detergents contain uv brighteners, avoid those when washing clothes......there's no doubt that deer will pick out an unnatural looking blob no matter what the color scheme, if in doubt of solid orange wear camo orange. I hear many guys saying that all they wear is an orange hat, keep in mind that that's the body part that usually moves the most when hunting....I would wear an orange vest over hat any day, if you're walking around, you can never wear too much orange in my opinion.

not to mention eat corn........

I think they're talking points as far as what's considered a point on a legally antlered deer....not what makes a deer legally antlered as far as tagging it as such

people need to blame something whenever there's a lack of deer sightings, whether it be poachers, too many deer tags, coyotes, bad winters...you name it. I'm sure they all may play a part, but is one any worse than the other? I have never seen one myself and would think if they're that rampant I should have....however, I have seen bad winters, poachers and what I feel were too many tags given out in certain areas.

I was looking and had the same question...decided to put it off a year since it's new to NY, gonna wait and see what people have to say after the they've had a chance to own and use them a bit.

I want to find out were he gets his bolts....he's been using the same one forever, very durable.

http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/93857.html here's DEC's definition as far as antler restrictions are concerned.

no doubt, I always just pick the area I hunt for both choices, at least if I get denied I got the preference point for next year.......I never understood why guys would take that type of gamble with their hunting privilege.

same reason you can go into just about any convenience store and buy all the gadgets and stuff to smoke marijuana or crack.......not illegal to have the means to do it, just illegal to put the finishing touches on it.

feel bad for the people who encountered the problem and instead of waiting for it to be fixed, just got tags in other areas just to have them....not sure what the point of doing that is.

just picked some up myself.....probably the first the first deer scent I've bought in 25 years. The question I have, is how do they collect bedding scent?, all the other type scents have a pretty obvious source, but how do they separate bedding odors from the bedding material?

who carries them when hunting? I haven't, but with antler restrictions in my area these days, and eyes not what they once were, I need to make sure of what I'm shooting......just picked up a pair of Nikon's and am contemplating opening the box or returning them.

what's next....is someone gonna tell me that the warming feeling I get when I drink blackberry brandy on stand is not really raising my core body temperature?

nope can't beat that, just like shooting a gun. ain't nothing to it........

does that thing dispense corn out of it's butt?
