Yep, you actually had to work to locate their areas. Then you had to actually spend time in the woods trying to figure out their habits. And then when the rubber met the road you had to be able to either outsmart them or just be plain lucky. All ARs do is open big racks up to everyone who doesn't want to put the time and effort into the actual hunt.

The silence is deafening.

Didn't know you could but I'll second the steep. It's probably vacant because of all of the people hikiing, climbing, etc in the park, no?

I've seen 'em jump from weeds/limbs to my shoulder in the spring trout fishing. That's what started me using Sawyers in the first place. Used it ever since.

yep, cardinal rule that most don't believe until they get bit by not doing it. Same goes for firearms.

I just hope we all have the right expectations for what stuck a buck implies in Akron...

I think they should put it up to a popular vote by DMU areas. One vote when you buy your license - you have to specify what unit you primarily hunt, and then vote. Majority rules. Mine would be: No

lol - nice setup from the sounds of it. I was just thinking that still hunting may be a new tactic for ya but it doesn't sound like it's a good setup for that. But on the bright side, I actually had a thought! Good luck.

It ain't over 'till it's over...

ok, that is bizarre

Dunno, I asked that quite a while ago and was met with silence.

Seriously, I'da left. We had some close friends who were ALWAYS late. VERY rude behavior IMHO. I got sick and tired of telling them that dinner would be at X:00 and to come early for a drink or so and then dinner. They'd invariably show up at X:00 plus at LEAST a half hour, more than likely an hour plus. One time I said dinner was X:00 and it was served at X:00. They showed up an hour late, everything was cleaned up and put away. I gently told them it was served at X:00. They've never been late since. At least to our house.

stolen by kid/s, joy ridden and stashed, would be my bet. What kind/size was it?

Looks like it may be on your side - working ok outside out your app

I agree 100%, but it's that a different argument that I'm positive has been hashed out here to death? (pun intended. )

Hunters choice. I guess I don't understand why they'd curtail taking any of them in areas where there are more deer than you can shake a stick at. Me personally? While I wouldn't pass a big one up, they're really not what I'm after. Anyone have a link to info indicating that they're thinking on it again?

I'da left at 5:00

Not really sure where to put this... I absolutely hate to put up notices like this but unfortunately, this one appears to be necessary. This one is a bit long but I suggest that you read it. If you choose to not install it, that's fine - if you're cautious you should be fine anyhow but you should at least be aware that this is lurking in the wings and trying to bite you. I know, I'm new here and pretty unknown but at least read and look into this for yourself. This is a warning to Windows users of an extremely serious and severe infection that is going around called CryptoLocker. It first appeared in early Sept 2013. It is not impossible to recover from, but you need to be prepared for it. First, what it is and what it does: It's a trojan type of malware that comes into your system primarily thru email as a ZIP file. Many people report a fake USPS email but it can be anything to try and get you to open the attachment. If you open the attachment, the executable will encrypt your files on your hard drive making them unusable. There are only 2 ways to recover from that scenario. 1, you pay the ransom following the instructions (prices vary from $100-$400) and then you wait for the files to decrypt. 2. You remove the malware (easy to do that) and restore from a good backup. If you don't have a backup, you're SOL. You will have to pay to get your files back. The "experts" haven't been able to resolve this particular malware yet and while the possibility exists, it will be very difficult. The encryption uses a public and private key, unique to each system that it infects. The public portion of the key resides on your system and the only way to get the private portion is to pay the ransom fee. You cannot decrypt your files without the private part of the key. Second, how the h*77 do I stop it? : 1 - Don't open any attachments in your emails that your aren't expecting. Just good common sense. 2 - Backup your stuff. Again just good common sense. 3 - There is a prevention tool available that will keep this particular malware from infecting your computer. I'd recommend that your d/l and install it but as always that's up to you and don't shoot the messenger (me). The link for the prevention tool: http://www.foolishit.com/download/cryptoprevent/ Yes, I know; it's a zip file, but it's not infected - it's the prevention tool, honest. Here are some additional links for your reading pleasure if you're a glutton for punishment: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/viru...re-information http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/cryptolocker.asp http://www.davescomputertips.com/block-cryptolocker-ransomware-with-free-cryptoprevent/ or... google cryptolocker and I think you'll see it's for real. The prevention tool will also help protect from lots of other malwares that run from the same location as CryptoLocker. Bottom line is that I wanted to warn you about this nasty. There is currently no way around it other than pay up or restore from backups. My suspicion is that the Feds will be getting involved but they may be busy on another bomb of a website... <ahem> . Again, install it or not, totally your call. Recommendations: 1. - Don't open email attachments. 2. - Get your stuff backed up if you don't want to lose it. 3. - Install the prevention tool, just to make sure. Here's a link that also has the installation instructions and some other data: http://www.davescomputertips.com/block-cryptolocker-ransomware-with-free-cryptoprevent/ My "cliffs notes" installation instructions: 1) download the CryptoPrevent.zip file software from the provided link and save the file. 2) find the CryptoPrevent.zip file on your system and double click in it 3) There should be an "extract all files" at the top of the subsequent window - click that 4) It will want to extract to a directory - let it, make sure that the "show extracted files when complete" box IS checked and click extract 5) In the next window that popus, double click on CryptoPrevent.exe 6) It will popup a window from FoolishIT.com - don't fret the name - it's legit - click on OK 7) Click on Whitelist and then on Whitelist Options Click on "Whitelist all EXEs currently......" You'll get an "operation completed" popup, click ok and you may see the window get populated with quite a few .exe files - that's ok if it does. 9) Click on the red X in the upper right to delete the Whitelist Options window - your done with it. 10) Click the "Block" box in the "CryptoPrevent V2.2.3" window You'll get a "Refreshing Group Policy" popup for a bit that will eventually go away. Then you'll see a popup from CryptoPrevent indicating that you should restart your PC to enable it. Save any other windows that are open which you have not saved and click "yes" to reboot your system. There is a newsletter at the authors site (http://www.foolishit.com/) which you can sign up for to be kept up date if you wish.

Sounds like it wasn't on long enough and she'll be fine and dandy. But keepin' an eye out can never hurt.

Well, giving the benefit of the doubt I'll give my honest opinion assuming this is on the level. Forget this year. Use the time to study, read, study more, spend time in the outdoors through out next spring, summer, and fall. And spend a LOT of time at a range until you can shoot proficiently. Read and study some more. Then when you think you have it, practice some more. Going hunting takes a LOT more work than simply buying a gun and walking in the woods.

Vassar College Farm does this quite a bit. Guys tried to fight/reverse it, no luck. I suspect the same outcome here although I hope not.

Feel free to use this in the future if you'd like: Made if further than I did.

Similar to what I have but mine's just generic.

I "kind of" agree with CharlieNY... I use the Hot Hands warmers but inside a fleece muff. I absolutely hate wearing gloves.
