This is a Petition to bring back Peterbfly.. He is a very knowledgable hunter and has a lot of experience. Can really bring a lot to the table and he promises not to talk about Antler Restrictions..

Rubber boots is a good investment. They will not hold scent like other materials and will eliminate the need for you to wring out your wet socks in the woods. Remember scent control is the biggest key! Airing out a sweaty foot in the woods is asking to hear a dear snort at you! If you never had that happen yet. Hope you don't experience it when it's pitch black out like I did!

After a long wait from last season. I'm finally back in the stand. Headed out for the morning sit at 5:30am had a bunch of turkey hanging around for a bit. Then had a doe about 30yds out. Don't think she picked my scent up but she stopped directly across from me looked behind her and started grunting and then left. Round two for the afternoon 3:30pm. I headed over to a stand we set up next to a thick bedding area. In hopes to catch a decent buck just before sun set. Wind started to swirl so I split and headed to the other side of the property over looking a blank angus field (minus the angus) 2 minutes in stand and I have a doe with a fawn trailing behind at about 20 yards ( no go number 1) watched 4 bucks come out from the other side of the field 2 good size spikes, 1 scrapy spike and a very nice 6 pointer. As I'm glassing them I had another doe walk in behind me 30 yds I get set up just about to draw and she has twin fawns with her (no go number 2). Good start to the season so far plenty of action. And will have some does down soon!

I agree with regulator. The earlier you can get in stand the better (preferably before legal shooting time) give yourself enough time not to feel rushed. And take your time getting to your spot and climbing. The less noise the better although you are going to make some. Scent is the biggest key element. You have to be very concious about being scent free they will sniff you out before they even see you! Keep in mind when they bed down there back is to the wind. So they smell what's coming from behind and can see what's coming from the downwind direction.

First I also wish everyone luck. But I have to be honest. On this forum the only thing they are concerned with is there freezer. The last thing they are concerned about is taking mature animals. Just keep droping all the yearlings got to make sure that freezer is jam packed!! If you go against the common opinion on this forum (I have a right to kill yearlings) and even as so much bring up the fact that you support AR's, earn a buck tag or any other form of management which most protect yearlings you will be targeted as a trouble maker and removed from the site.

ill be heading up with a friend of mine on tuesday. set everything about a month ago. just hope we get a n or nw wind so we can pull the camera and see what has been hanging around. if not im sure we will see for our selves when we sit. as there always seems to be tons of action on his property!

I hear ya. Not trying to demoralize or intimidate anyone. It's a tough subject that people have strong views on. What I choose is not necessarily what the next guy does. Simple as that.

So is everyone ready for this Monday??? Anyone got some good bucks or spikes (JOKE) on there hit list?

We are two dif people. We just happen to share the same views.

Wish you all the best of luck this season. And by any means am I saying that to be funny!

LMFAO

Nice buck lawdwaz!

post what ever you like. thats what i made the thread for.

you think its crap that some choose to hold off on a 2.5 because in there opinion they want something better. just like some of us think its crap that you'll shoot the first thing that walks in front of you! its all a matter of opinion and thats a simple fact. i think its crap that some of you claim you see all these mature big racked deer and you simply let them walk to shoot a spike i bet you seen bigfoot a few times also. i think the answer more lies with the fact that you simply are not seeing many deer and when you do the urge to kill it is to much for you to handle. but that is just my opinion. not trying to be a wise ass or be little anyone.

funny how you dont see all the fire breathing anti ar guys on this thread. maybe because there are to many people posting mostly praise and positive results?!

i couldnt agree with you more! since i have been skydiving in gardner in ulster county. i see many deer at the drop zone when i am there. and in the past 4 years i have seen the size and number of bucks increase very nicely!!! and every hunter i have talked to over there is very happy!

@vet thanks for serving as myself and peterbfly did as well.

if you cant properly identify your target dont shoot. that is the responsible thing to do.

i think that is a great idea. since we are only concerned with ourselves. why should anyone have decent bucks to shoot because most people cant let a deer walk past there stand. its proven on this forum from your first post. the only opinion that matters on here is people with over 1000 posts. that seems to make you some sort of expert in this forum land. from the first post from peterbfly all of you formed the lynch mob. but yet all of you claim everyone is entitled to there own opinion!?this will forever be the dividing factor between hunters! just like who's the jackass that votes for obama or the jackass who votes for romney. what we were simply trying to say from the beginning is we think(OPINION) shooting yearling bucks is not the answer. if all of you didnt go for the throat from the first post maybe we would be having a different conversation.

lets set this straight i never once told anyone what they can and cant shoot. im just expressing my opinion just like you are. so after your done reading this you should go pull your panties out of your arse!

i have no problem following guidelines or restrictions.i hunt on private land and i own land also. you are the one that is crying the blues about an antler restriction being put in place. your rights are being taken away, its only being done for bow hunters etc etc etc. if most of you are so educated on managing deer then why is there one decent answer on this post as to what you think needs to be done? the only thing i see on here is all of you finding every excuse as to why it doesn't need to be done. you want to shoot spikes go mow em down thats your preference me personally i wont and i think it has a negative impact in the long run

you keep holding onto this point. and yes i agree to an extent.but someone that can not afford to put food on there table certainly can not afford to go out buy a gun or bow, ammunition, license etc. to go hunting. lets be realistic the cost to go hunting is far more expensive then going to the supermarket and buying a few pounds of chop meat.

To each his own as they say. What you prefer is not what I do.

Figured I would create this one for everyone to post the spikes they kill.
