lol if me or any other pot stirring POS said this the ban hammer would have come down PDQ. And of course I’m not suggesting that Grouse gets the boot anyway, anyhow I think it’s just funny that he said it. Wait……maybe his account has been hacked?!?!

Wow……..

I’m sure I passed 20+ bucks (within killing range of the weapon in my hands at that time) and I’m no better for it. Lol So much depends on deer density numbers, proximity to hunting grounds, amount of time said hunter has to devote to this and on and on. What animal and how a hunter chooses to fulfill his desire's is a personal matter.

So it’s not exactly one particular buck as you stated but numerous bucks that meet your criteria that you’d kill. That makes more sense…… Btw, many here (and over there) pass lots of bucks for one reason or another throughout the archery and firearms seasons.

I'd just like some clarity to the statement, Al. My belief is he'll clear things up with an answer to the question as he won't duck and run, that's the cowards way out, not his.

Your statement in the other locked thread: "But one will never feel what the word Hunting” really means until one finds, scouts, learns and hunts down one single mature whitetail buck one on one and go until they kill that one buck or bust." I think you're embellishing your skills a bit. One buck and only ONE buck is your target? Any of the other lesser bucks (lesser by just a skootch) cruise by are going to get killed, just that one buck that you've found, scouted, learned and are hunting? You can talk the talk of course about that ONE buck after he hits the dirt but until he hits the dirt he's one of a handful on your radar, yea? (One buck or bust) Hopefully fasteddie doesn't pull the plug on this Q&A thread.

It’d be pretty neat if you posted a picture October 15, 2024 of that singe buck your hunting. That would show your superiority…..

Consider yourself lucky.......

Great read and post, doc.

Happy Birthday Doc!

Hunter Harassment is a real thing and the DEC won’t stand for it.

I have a similar situation. Sow & cub though….(these are Screen shots from my trail cam video)

Seems as though you’re the guy here that can’t let go. Lol

RIP Jim Scoutten

You’re Niagara County? I don’t see any restrictions. Maybe I missed it……

You need to contact bizzy, he has incredible talent at finding lost dogs. Uncanny

Probably 2x what you paid 5 years ago.

IIRC we’d often loose sight of them but luckily they all landed close to where we figured. Lol

Not as a "competition", LOL Back in the mid 80's an old, now deceased, good friend and I would do it with compound bows for fun. (beer) After his back field was baled we would shoot our way to the back then shoot back to the house. It was about 700 yards deep and only 100 yards or so wide. If the bales were still present that for some great targets so we had that as well as the distance fun. That's Harry Drake IIRC above?

Be careful of the first offer.... Sorry to hear about the loss. Very happy to hear you are fine.

Yup yup yup to all the above. -figure out the insurance -call the Amish -go shopping

Good luck to you and your son!

I believe it’s the ballistic equivalent of a 280 Remington. If you find ammo difficult to source, the barrel could be pulled, re-chambered, set back and re-threaded by most any half competent gunsmith. Make it a 280 Remington!!
