  1. I posted about the DEC chart a week or more before that happened and yes when the time was mentioned I posted it again as a reminder ...look it up...I know other ppl saw the post...where I said I'd down loaded it and put it with my hunting gear because THEIR times were different than the weather station...So It's in print ...want to call me a liar...hey go for it I consider the source
  2. Culvert ...and thats IYO...I don't see the difference other than trying to justify rubbing the guys nose init...Now as far as I never said one darn thing about that until now... and wouldn't have if this post hadn't happened...some opinions should remain in ones own head...but this was ridiculous ....and how... some ppls attitudes flip based on whose posting is as well....Ohhh and by the way...I had posted that DEC time chart way before that incident and was just re-posting as a reminder to all...If I have a with anyone I won't go about it subtly I assure you....so You can take that offer to go else where and stow it
  3. today 2 doe with 2 sets of twins...just out of range...total of 3 button bucks and a 4pt and big spike under the stand...sat from 6:15 till 2:30....I'm tired ...dinner and bed...out tomorrow
  4. You ppl kill me...a person shoots a deer ...obvious way darker than should..IMO and looses said deer ... Arrow sticking out of a shoulder and it's...."Good luck ...go get em good luck...He doesn't find said deer ....and what do you guys say when he tells ya he's going right back out?...Ohh... "Good Luck go get em best luck..." This guys tells you basically the same scenario and you some of you criticize and jump his ass for not making the right decision...Just so so many Wow moments on this sight
  5. Well ...up at 2:30am....off to wally world and got 2 more 8N....bunch of ppl there getting tags....they started selling at 12 midnight.....got groceries and headed out the door to hunt right now ....good luck
  6. I've only had one true case of buck fever and It made me nearly pass out...lost muscle control breathing saw stars...crazy stuff...so I now glance once at the rack and then go into shot mode if I want it....repeating every step to my self...draw...bend at waist ..don't grip bow...by that time I'm focused behind shoulder and the last thing...this is your only shot....release I haven't had the problem since...yes my heart rate goes up...but that's not a problem Of course after that one incident...and by the way it was a huge 11pt buck with 11 15/16 brow tines.....a guy a mile and a 1/2 away got him a week later....I went to the Dr. and went on high blood pressure meds.....those my be my edge now...Lol Lol
  7. Sweet!...a lot of eats there Congrats!
  8. we have been doing ours and family and friends for years....gets a bit old after the 4th one....I do my archery deer by my self from gutting to freezing....why I like to get them early....the doe was made into Jerky and the next doe will be as well...then sausage....of course loins are cut for chops and the back strap is eaten right away It takes me longer to skin than to quarter a deer
  9. two in. the first day and then an in. last night
  10. Well another snowy crunchy morning ...kicked out a buck laying by the hay barn door ...then another deer in the woods...used the grunt tube as I walked in and stopped the shake the occasional limb trying hard not to sound human...got to stand and once again another seat filled with leafs snow and ice....needless to say I saw Nothing but chippers and squirrels..lots of blue jays....back in ...I have a hay delivery and then right back out....

  12. Well the boys(our dogs) just let me know the deer are on the move again....every morning at 4:45 they pass through going in one direction or another leaving the open field from feeding/bedding during the night.....The winds good to try another different stand location....so far only one has not had activity....it's suppose to dry out over the next few days....if no deer today or tomorrow morning 'll be mowing and raking all trails one final time....this noise going in is driving me nuts Good Luck Hunting...
  13. Lucky on the 8x's...our camps there and it's difficult to get them some years....hoping one of the guys will sign one over to me...my tags are 8N this year...hope to get 2 more...so I can use another in archery....have requests for a lot of jerky and sausage this year....the first doe was loin chops ...jerky and what wasn't good for jerky is stew and burger
  14. are you guys going to go get your extra....or first as the case maybe DMP Nov 1st?
  15. It was a crunchy walk in this a.m.....and the stand was covered in ice and leafs....yep quiet wasn't in the cards this morning but still had action ...a buck chasing a doe on neighbors property and a bit later a doe fawn came in and bedded 15yrds to my lft....with in minutes she suddenly popped up and ran like her tail was on fire....a couple of min later in came a wounded 7pt....looks like he was shot in the front leg....he wasn't what I was looking for but I just hate seeing a wounded deer...so I stood and got ready to shoot if he presented....waiting for him to go behind a group of big maple so I could draw.....he suddenly turned and headed straight for me...got to another maple and looked away.... I went to draw and TINK!!...my cam had caught a snap in my jacket pocket...I finished the draw and he was staring straight at me.....well he was 20yrds out and had just a slight quarter toward me ...I could do it....NOPE....he heard the release and went to turn away and suddenly looked like a pin in a bowling ally...just tipped over!!I watched the arrow slide over the length of his side just behind his shoulder...feet kicking and he popped up hitting the fletching sending my arrow end over end....the whole thing happened in a split second ..but I swear time slowed down!....he hobble jumped several yrds then looked back as if to wonder what the hell just happened??!!...Reminds me of what I do when I trip on something...lol I think the wounded leg just gave out and he couldn't compansate....I hope he makes it...dang lucky boy for sure.. Not long after that just over a dip in the hill I see a sapling violently wagging back and forth....I grunted twice and a moment later I see a deer hop into the brambles headed away and a buck...not sure how big ...coming my way in the same patch...he either laid down 4oyrds out or managed to skirt around me...In for a break ...snowing and winds picked up...good luck
  16. Nice ...Congrats on a good hunt...nice deer and great recovery after a good shot....well done all around on first bow kill
  17. Went out at 3pm...decided to use a buck urine drag...settle in stand and a while later ....sniff...sniff..sniff...phewwwww....reach down to pant leg pocket and glove gets wet...Ohh ya top wasn't tight ...had to stand up to try and get even a little distance....lol...any how I'm pretty far back and the idea of getting out late smelling like a new rank buck to the area was making me nervous...so at 5:45 I pack it in and go to the trail parallel to the one I scented ...to be safe...look up and there stands a chocolate racked 8pt...we stare for a bit and I lower my head and start walking straight at him...arrow nocked and bow at the ready....he waited until I was 30 yrds away before bolting up to the ridge....he watched me leave and I didn't hear him run for the next county so...maybe we'll meet again...just 5 more minutes
  18. I suppose at 50yrds you'd be able to see definitely they were both bucks....that being said we had a 4point doe here last or year before that hung around out in the field...... and had a fawn with her...I have long distance pics I 'll see if I can dig up
  19. Congrats Eddie! ...just saw this ....way to go!!!
  20. Congrats to the cuz...and nice buck....I went out this am. to little over 2" on the ground and trees....lots of ice and snow on stand and foot prints everywhere....no deer and when the sun got high enough to hit the tree tops ...All He!! broke loose and it was like being in a nasty snow ball fight...enough of that...snow down my neck....waiting until the snow and snow leafs covered fall....Snow was so heavy that it flatten my sorghum and saplings and branches hung on the ground
  21. we have a little over an in here in our part of finger lakes hills...and still snowing big flakes
  22. Congrats.....I sat in fog rain...sleet...rain...snow and had a doe I passed with triplets and two other fawns under the stand this a.m.....a buck ran through in the dark around 6 30am....when I could feel wet hit my skin I packed it up and left at 11am....started snowing hard then and still is...... we have a 1/4 on the ground now...I'm defrosting
  23. that's a WOW deer...what a hawg...Congrats on a great hunt
