good job!

Its luck or the draw, really... thats life sometimes and its happened to me as well. it makes the sport interesting only because, hey you never know!

No i have not... Honestly Anthony i would be even more un pleased if it took a 2 hour drive up, only to encounter similar problems that i do out here. From what i have been noticing the Bird hunters of the club usually remain happy due to the fact the club from what i hear is more based around bird hunting. (Hence the name: Pheasant Run) It is what it is... Thanks for trying to help. goodluck with your season

yup... this is only on the island tho, to the best of my knowledge i dont think that is practiced anywhere else in NY. correct me if i am wrong. for instance if i go into this season with a either or and a dmp for 1c and i fill my either or with a buck i can use my dmp to take a doe and take the doe to the ridge DEC and have them inspect and collect their data and they will issue me another either or. but if i fill that either or with a buck thats it, i can not get another....

yes, also if you take a doe on the island and bring the DEC the head or the deer they age it and inspect it and will issue you another either or on the spot. so you can get another buck if you choose or as many does as your heart desires... almost like and earn a buck situation....

i brew my own beer, ill send you some websites to look into. you can get a nice brew kit for 100 bux or spend as much as 8k lol and even way more...

i missed it last night! it was on at nine right? i wanted to see it, how was it???

wow nice buck!!

lol looks very close! i have to see it on a better monitor. my work monitor is not that great.

it is... my 8 point i shot upstate...

thanks guys! it was a fun season for me.

and not true about club dues NOT being cheap. my buddy pays no lie $50 a year to be aprt of his club and that included bird hunts and 2 properties consisting of 1000 acres to hunt gun or bow. there are alot of member he said but they are all mostly bird hunters. i would think you get what you pay for and for the 50 bux he spends a year he has a blast! with the money we spend for our club it should be guided hunts lol.

this is very true. i really did want to donate this year as well! hopefully i can sneak out 2 more times and try to take something to donate. i butchered all 3 deer up myself, i have plenty of cuts and also 30-40 lbs of chop meat i made with seasoning and 10 lbs of bacon cut into it. OH boy is it good! lol

funny part anthony was i was actually looking into buying my own land until i came accross this club. i went crazy to the extent of all my pre season scouting consisted of me taking my descenting showers and descenting all my clothes prior to every visit on club grounds. i really dotted my I's and crossed my T's this year going into this years hunting season as a member of this club. i will just say i was VERY disapointed to see the lack of effort in some and most importantly the common sence factor. just about every member i spoke had not seen much deer movement at all. I met one member who i spoke to said he has not seen deer 1 and as he pulled his atv onto his truck i knew why, he had a racing exhaust on his atv that he drives to his stand and he wondered why he hasnt seen a deer? i mean c'mon... it sounded like a monstor truck, no lie. with a 45 minute drive to and from the club i made a decision to stop going all the way out there only to have all these variables woring against me. It just was not fair. I am NO complainer by far and made due this season with the cards i was delt. I do not like to bash anyone or methods some may use as there regament but when it directly effects me personally and i loose, well then i become un happy. who wouldnt??? BUT in the end what are you going to do? i just know what i wont do, next year...

took a 7 point on island and a nice 8 with gun upstate along with a mature doe. good season for me this year... wish i would have been able to connect on something to wall hang but theres always next year! and alos 2 more bow hunting out here for me... goodluck guys!

nice deer

thanks dude! after having a slow start i really did enjoy this eason and getting the chance to meet and chat with some of the guys on here. im doing my own euro mounts on those 2 bucks.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us I will post some more pics soon... hope everyone else is having a fun and safe season! Geno

clubs should be organised and if they are NOT you usually DO NOT pay much to be aprt of such UN ORGANIZATION. when something is claimed to be TOP NOTCH and organization to be near perfect i as a hunter and member would expect nothing less... and i do mean nothing less then oraganized. If we have mushroom pickers, kids on qtv's and dirt bikes and un organized stand placements and so on, "I" expect the club leader to play the roll put forth is siging up and be the "Organized" club leader that one was potrayed from the begining. There is not one person who put more time into that place then myself and i would love to hear anyone tell me otherwise. i went there 3 times a week since first week in June and i saw deer of great size and placed stands according to my recon and scouting only to find out that the lack of organization either pushed off or forced every buck to go nocternal. which in my eyes a hunter should have NO PROBLEM seeing nice bucks doing what they did ALL summer long. having guys scout, hanging teee stands and holding a "Open House" 5 days prior to the opening of bow season is the WORST thing to do! guys getting in there 5 days before the season to scout a newly joined club shows lazyness and lack of hunting skills, with the hopes of just getting in and killing a deer as promised (which i know that nothing is a guarentee). With the money i spent i could have been fully setup up with a mathews Z7 and instead all my harvest this year took place off club grounds... Its a shame becasue the club really does have nice bucks on the proprty but with way tomany guys aprt of an organization doing all the wrong things ruins it for the guys who do the right thing... Geno~

nice bucks guys!! when i get a chance ill post some pics too, i took a huge doe on opening day and also a very nice 8 point on monday!! 2 bucks and a doe for me this year, im feeling good lol

would you shoot a Albino deer?? and do you really beleive it brings bad luck? im just curious... if one had the chance to score on an albino buck or doe for that matter would you take it?

wow thats crazy is he really road kill???

^^ nice buck!
