[On board from Central NY]

Welcome!  A good site to be a part of. 

[Long island NY pics]

Abruno, nice pic's . Thanks for sharing. Start early for that big buck. By the time the rut starts he might wander. Find the Lady's & he'll be right behind (even pre-rut).

[Long Islander's roll call.]

Virgil, welcome. Best hunting on the Island is when the Rifle season is open elsewhere.

[Anyone have friends that are anti-hunters]

I have freinds that are non hunters...they are freinds. I have people I know that are ANTI hunting. I have so little in common with them in terms of hunting right through to values and politics., they will never be my friends. I think it goes to the true definition of an anti hunter. they would IMPOSE their view on no hunting on others where a a non hunters chooses to not participate. It really boils down to values and I feel the Anti's have none.

 

You could be missing out on some good people. Anti-hunters are not ALL PETA pushers. You choose who you are friends are. Life has taught me to keep an open mind. Now for values, what kind of anti's do you know?

[pheasant hunting]

A lot of big deer there. We were running GSPa few years ago. We came upon a HUGE 8 pointer that was arrowed, G_D it was huge. The archer was walking towards us thanking us. It seems that we pushed the Buck to him

As long as my girls don't see me butchering it they will eat it, god forbid I have a bunny on chopping block when the wife gets home !

Sounds like my home. My wife supports my hunting. Bought me a hoyt katera for my B-day few years ago. But do not let her see any dead animals she'll puke.

My wife is an anti-hunter. Gets interesting in the house during hunting season. My 3.5 yo daughter sits and watches hunting shows and screams "dad thats a huge deer". I have hope for her.

 

So I assume that if you want venison cooked in your house, you probably have to do it yourself?  :-\

 

Doc

I do most of the cooking in the house. I'm a trained (monkey) chef. My wife is an amazing baker. 

[Which is the better bullet ....]

I would go with the Hornady interlock. See what shoots better in your rifle.

[Color Blind???]

Peroxide is good for tracking blood and washing it off your hands, arms, and clothing. I carry a small spray bottle of Peroxide in my back pack.

Mr. VJP, PM sent.

[What Deer Management unit do you hunt?]

Tim, nice picture. We are also in Hancock but only have 125. My brother in laws partner has the land and I have permission.

[Long Islander's roll call.]

Im in Amityville and im 21yrs old, hunt Manorville and riverhead areas public land.  Put alot of time in scouting areas away from everyone else usually hiking aways into the properties.  Ide like to get some people together to shoot at the ceder creek park range some time.  Heres a buck from last season.

 Welcome Tim. I think after the season we should all get together for a shoot. We will see how it goes.

[.308 Ammunition]

They are all factory loads. I wish I could afford the re-loading equipment. I am located in Hicksville and work in Queens. However, I am willing to meet 1/2 if it ain't to far.

Anyone, Anyone...... How about $50 for all?

[Long Islander's roll call.]

Hiya folks.

[Good hunting pants]

Could just add a white hooded sweatshirt  ???

 

How about adding some branches on your hood for camouflage?  Sound advice , especially if you hunt public land.

[Early/Mid Bow Season Boots]

I use a pair of muck boots. They work real good.

[Sullivan/Ulster Question]

Hunted  in Liberty for 9 years (until the property was sold). Every year we would get at least one buck and many,many does. Give it a shot I do not think you will be disappointed.

[first day goose hunting]

Good for you PapaBear. Any day hunting is better than a day at work.

[minimum hunting age]

"I think it should be up to the parent as to when the child is ready"  ??? ??? ??? ??? ??

 

I don't think so . There are a lot of stupid parents out there .

+1. just look at you tube. The Law is the Law (even if you do not agree with it. It's up to us to make the DEC change the law. I have a 4 year old daughter that watches hunting shows with me. I can not wait to take her in the field.

[New Pics of the Cabin]

That my friend is a beautiful cabin (hunting Lodge). I know you will make many a great memories in that bit of paradise.

[Speed bump and others...]

That is a great album of pictures. Thanks for sharing. 

[Alot of Action]

Just like humans, when the females are around the guys will come.

[decent buck]

Hope you connect with that deer in the fall.
