Yeah now were gonna have to set one hidden very good and locked up with chains and a homemade aircraft grade steel box to catch them lol. And extra lock our stands too! there not getting anything else!

IT WAS LOCKED!!!!!! no joke this is what it was locked with!. http://www.bestgamecamera.com/products/Theft-Box-for-NX80.html That makes it 10 times more annoying

Yeah true, unless because recently the owners of the property our good friend found some markers on trees that are from the county surrounding "wetland" and making lines and such, he is going to call soon, but maybe the deer were spooked out of this property for a little , the markers were all over plus hes building a house on the corner of the property they only excavated so far. That might be it, the increase in human activity is affecting it. And maybe the trail camera was stolen by the "goverment" who were marking his land...

There is a corn field across the road but still we have always seen the deer in the property unless they are liking another piece of land closer to the corn?

I thought i mentioned it wasnt artificial food...i Should have been more clear with it im pretty sure having a few plum trees and hydrangeas is considered a wildlife food plot. Ive found a spot on each lot of woods and had plum trees planting this is where the cameras are every year but in the winter they do terrible we cant even hunt by them because they dont grow plums anymore. Thats considered a food plot if there is an exceptional sunny spot i have plants growing for off season. I dont eat the plums personally either. There are five exceptions to the rule: Agricultural crops including wildlife food plots.

Are you sure its considered baiting? Can you find it on the dec website, i had looked and didnt find anything about that, just about what i linked you too.

Yea, food out for a camera isnt illegal because its not in season and i am not hunting the animal with bait out.. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/8305.html scroll about halfway down. Yes i know but by now every year since our friend owned this property we have seen deer this early, just awkward to us.

We checked 4 trail cams today. 3 had pictures and one was stolen ( private land). On the 3 we got pics, there were no big deer. Since 7/9 they were out with constant food on them and yet no shooter bucks. They were spread thru-out a few private lots that all connected somehow. Together about 70 acres i estimate. there were lots of does and small bucks, a small 8 we wouldnt shoot, a bear (huge!) and fawns. Cameras have been out since 7/9 with food always. Majorityof the young bucks were very very small 4,5, or 6s. But were very small and would be shooters in 2 years.. The past years weve seen atleast 3 shooters, why? Nothing has changed and if anything, the condition of the properties increased. Also we cant hunt the property during early bow so we are going to hunt a piece of land that is not posted yet not public. It borders a big field that they cut before season and the deer eat at it for a month. But there are idiots driving around hunting off there 4 wheelers and we dont trust anyone after what happened on the private property! We need advice about how to secure a stand, that we will take the bottom part of the ladder when were not hunting so nobody can get in. How can we lock it because someone can easily snip a hunting lock cable.. Any help appreciated.

I have my youth bowhunter and small game, next year im getting my youth gun. I also am signed for a DMP permit and turkey tags. How can i get my lifetime? will it last my whole life? How much will it cost and will i have to pay each year for any of what i have now? Any info welcome, thanks

Has a lot of stickers like 3 on the base of each antler. 3 on the left g3 and one on the right. Not so wide but very tall. If it had no stickers it would be a huge 11. Not sure of the exact score we got the score in 2010

I would rather not post it here. this deer isnt that amazing i was wrong it was 170. This deer was all over the place with pics showing that it came from 7 miles away from the lake on the total opposite side. Was a very old animal. Just email me

Who else hunts in warwick ny? I have about 3 spots together averaging about 40 acres. One property 10 acres near greenwood lake my friend who owns it shot a 18 point nontypical scoring 190ish. Sheds and trail camera pics got of it all the way on the opposite side of the lake! Where do you hunt in orange county? If you dont mind id like to see some pics of animals you got at that spot as well.
