Hoping all goes well Burt.

Don't flatter yourself there assneck. I have friends and family in law enforcement and my best friend died while on the job. You have no influence here on anything other pissing people off with your useless diarrhea of the mouth you spew forth. Go play in traffic.

Yup cops are all pricks for doing their jobs and trying to protect the general public from degenerate assholes like ___________ Insert name ^^^

He's not afraid of looking down the business end of a gun in a store carried in by an unknown woman so let him have at it with this one.

Still rooting for you and your son to make it happen next year and you guys WILL make it happen I'm sure. I cant wait until my son wants to go out again just to sit with me. He's only 10. Good luck on finding new spots and enjoy the Holidays. Z

Nice out there today. TC and TF you guys seeing anything?

All of mine and my buddies deer were shot in Hardwoods this year. None of us have access to field lands and as stated by several others, activity in those fields is nocturnal.

If you've bought a license in the past, you will no longer need the cards. You only need them for the first time you purchase your license I believe. That's how it was in the olden days.

The only other N.Y. team not worth mentioning - JETS

Sorry not a Bills fan, but my team is even worse so I didn't have a leg to stand on by making my comment, but it was funny.

So he'll charge us double if we tell him JGS sent us?

Call around to the Taxidermy shops in your area as most of them provide this service. I did this last year down here near Binghamton. Most places wanted $75 just to clean it up and mine was skinned just like yours is in your pictures. It was $125 to $150 if you wanted it mounted on a plaque with a badge at the bottom that had the kill details, Date: Weapon, etc...

Where is Growie? Someone needs to forward this thread to her. PRONTO

Oh pretty sure it was something along those lines and he was definitely on something. Another neighbor said he called him one day and asked him to bring his gun over because he was being chased by a bear and wanted him to shoot it. Wondering if it was the same day.

Out of likes but "Like" ants. Wtg and congrats to everyone who scored on the last day!!!!

Seeing the neighbor dude running around in his underwear only screaming at the top of his lungs on a 28 degree morning is etched in my brain but not the "best" memory that's for sure. My best is yet to come when I share the doe I shot on the last day of ML is shared unexpectedly with some friends who couldn't get out this year hunting and some co workers who could use some help this year. The look on their faces will be my best memory.

12.20.16 sorry for any typos (Damn kindle) I took today off from work like I have the past 3 years. I have a spot across from my in laws that I call the honey hole. I swear that I see deer down there EVERY TIME I hunt down there. My FIL was headed down there first thing so my buddy and I set up in spots that lead away from down where he was headed. I knew if he bumped anything down there that my buddy and I would get a chance at seeing something at least. It was 9 degrees with a real feel of 4 and it was cold and crunchy. We headed in and got set up on the ground. Within 30 minutes I could hear deer crunching their way towards me. I was in a small woodlot next to the neighbors house. Of course the two does came between me and the house so I never even raised the ML. They were headed past me and up towards my buddy who could get a shot from his position. They turned and he could hear them but never saw them. Within 15 minutes I heard more deer running and I see a herd of at least 7 running out in front of me over 120 yards away through the hardwoods. I scoped a few but the shot opp just wasn't there with as fast as they were moving. As they headed up the ridge I tried to backtrack and see if I could catch them sneaking above me. Never saw them and I was 40 yards up the hill from my original spot. I hear more deer below me down where I just left. I see one headed up the hill towards my buddy. I wait and don't hear any shooting. I decide to walk back down and end up bumping 3 back down hill to my FIL. My buddy did tell me he saw those 3 headed to him but turned back before coming into a decent range for him. Met back at the house for lunch at noon to warm up. Drank a lot of coffee between the 3 of us and FIL got a fire going. We ate and shot the bull and decided where to go for the afternoon. I went down where my FIL had in the morning. I knew he didn't go as low as I usually do so I headed in. As I am about 10 yards from the line I stand under, 2 unknown deer blow across the creek from me and head up hill away. I'm now at 15 deer spotted for the day and am ecstatic. At 3 my buddy was going g to drop down into the upper area that I was in. At 315 I can hear a deer blowing and I catch a glimpse of one above and behind me heading away. I continue to scan the area and can hear deer coming my way about 15 minutes later. I get the ML up and scope the lead doe as she stops behind a tree. I'm waiting for her to step out and she finally does about 35 yards away broadside. I settled the crosshairs and squeezed. I see she is hit but walks a few feet and beds down. I reload as quickly and quietly as I can and stand up as I was kneeling. I take one step to the left in the cruise achy snow and she stands up. Second shot put her down right there. Hit low and back on first one. Need to straighten that out this off season. Ended up seeing 17 total today. Couldn't have asked for a better day afield. Plan to share the meat with some hunting neighbors that couldn't get out this year due to work and a few co workers that could use some help. Looking forward to next year ready. Can't wait!!! BTW, I know the pipe wrench on the right is crooked in the last pic. I plan to give my FIL hell for it. Thanks Larry!!!

Congrats Stone on a great season. You started strong and finished strong. Way to go.

Nice Twofer Eddie!!! I'm loving this Late season and looks like you are too. Congrats.

Lol thanks. Ill let my FIL know he better straighten his chit out!!!

My FIL, buddy and I met this morning at 745am. Temp was showing 9 with a real feel of 4 and it was chilly and crunchy. Everyone saw deer today but the shot opportunities did not present themselves throughout the day. I ended up seeing 17 deer today which was incredible. Some may have been repeats but I don't care because I had an absolute blast. One sighting was a herd of at least 7 that skirted past me early and out over 120 yards in the hardwoods so I could just watch them trot on by. We regrouped for lunch and coffee and headed out about 130pm. I set up in my favorite spot on the ground in the late season. About 315 I heard a deer blowing and snorting off to my left. I caught a glimpse of the headed out of the area behind me. About 15 minutes later I can hear deer crunching their way to me. I got the CVA Kodiak up and scoped the first one as she stopped behind a tree. Finally she stepped out and presented me a broadside shot at about 35 yards. I hit a little low and back but she bedded down within feet of hitting her. I reloaded and took a step to the left and she stood up and the second shot put her down for good. Not sure what happened with the first shot but I have all off season to figure it out. I could have been shivering, lol. Glad she didn't suffer long and she will be shared amongst friends and colleagues workers this holiday season.

330 and I got it done with this big doe. It was the 17th deer I saw today and the only one to provide a shot. Super happy to end the season like this. Gotta run to soccer so I'll post story later.

Bumped 2 unknown on the quiet walk back in, haha. This is it so make it count.

In drinking coffee making a plan for the afternoon. Priority one is staying warm.

Doc this is recreation and it is fun, it's just colder than normal. Everyone s tolerances are different but yes we do have a few screws loose.
