    you did have some pictures of decent bucks in the area prior to the season, didn't you? does anyone else hunt the land and do you know if everyone had the same experience?
  2. jjb4900
    no, I was joking........there's been talk of cougar's in NY for years, I doubt anywhere in NY is overrun with them............I honestly don't think there is any concrete evidence of a breeding population anywhere in NY, other than the one that DEC says traveled through NY at one point and was eventually killed by a car in CT (if I remember the story correctly).

    congrat's.............at least you had the snow to make the drag a little easier.
  4. jjb4900
    yup, cougars are everywhere....the best time to see one is just before closing time.

    I would think that with every state they lose to the anti gun people, it weakens them in some way.......they should fight the fight regardless, after all, they are the NATIONAL Rifle Association.

    I used to hunt the area of 3A that is around big pond and the little pond Campsite.......this was back in the 80's, actually went with family for a few years before I was old enough...........there were a lot of deer, doe tags and hunters..........my guess is by the time they realized how badly the herd was doing, it was too late, and will take years to rebound.

    my wife hunted deer for a few years and I never babysat her, she had her own stand and I had mine.............she knew the way back to the truck when she got cold or bored.

    you're probably right with that #...........I had a gray fox done about 5 years ago, right around $700........but remember, you usually get what you pay for.
  9. jjb4900
    I just wonder how it gets to the point where they have to take such drastic measures to rebuild a herd.....
  10. jjb4900
    a quality full body mount will definitely run closer to the top end quotes you got....a full tanned hide is a nice way to go for a lot less.
  11. jjb4900
    3A has been under AR's and has had no doe permits for several years.......most of the people you talk to will tell you the deer herd in that area really hasn't rebounded because of it.
  12. jjb4900
    biggest mistake is taking up an uncertain trail without waiting...been there myself.
  13. jjb4900
    what's your point?
  14. jjb4900
    I really don't care how someone prepares their venison, as long as it gets eaten......enjoy it anyway you want.
  15. jjb4900
    at least you weren't at work...........
  16. jjb4900
    I found that about 5hrs at the highest setting is best......any longer and its overdone, of course it depends on the dehydrator. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Docs-Best-Beef-Jerky/ this is a great recipe

    two people suggesting the same thing has got to count for something......
  18. jjb4900
    I forgot to mention plugging "holes" that may leak fluid...........
  19. jjb4900
    get some stockings and cut the end off, pull the bird head first through the stocking and freeze........the stocking will keep the feathers nice and flat against the bird and prevent them from getting bent or ruffled.......
  20. jjb4900
    or better yet, what's in it?
  21. jjb4900
    I'm liking the European mounts and antler only mounts more and more these days..........don't know if I'll ever get a full mount done again.
  22. jjb4900
    But, quite honestly, would it be that bad if we were only allowed to take 2 or 3 deer a year instead of what we're currently allowed?.....they could very easily target the areas that need more deer taken while not over doing it in the other areas.
  23. jjb4900
    I agree, the guys who like to stir the pot actually keep things interesting.
  24. jjb4900
    Happy Thanksgiving!!
  25. jjb4900
    yeah, I would think that if even the AR's did nothing to produce better bucks, that coupled with the no doe permits for a few years should produce some type of result for deer population in general.........obviously this isn't the case in many areas..........I think it's a case of too many deer tags being issued in general.
