Try not being a douche nozzle and read some posts and get to know the people of this online community before you come on here and with your 19th post start bashing people. I know it's the internet and you can say whatever you want but be prepared for the consequences. Don't feed the trolls and they will go find food elsewhere.

My buddy just texted me this picture with NO DETAILS and I'm freaking out. I can only assume he shot it but he hunts with his Dad too. Either way, this is an awesome deer for either of them and I'm stoked they were successful.

One, two, three

Dinner is served. From box to oven to my mouth only 27 minutes.

Daughter went to some haunted thing in Scranton, and the wife and son are eating at a friend's so it's a bachelor night for me. Here's appetizer

I work for a small family owned company in Binghamton. We use a lot of temps as there is light manufacturing. We have hired on several of the temps as permanent employees over the last few years. It's a different way to get your foot in the door and get some cash coming in so don't count out going through a temp agency to find work. Good luck to you in your search.

October 22nd Got up and it wasn't raining so was ready and out the door by 645. Got to the in laws and spotted a deer on the fridge of the field and I stopped. Guess it wasn't soon enough as the other two I didn't see, already saw me and all three took off running. Got to the stand a few minutes later and settled in. Saw a few gray squirrels and that was it. Rained on and off and heavy winds. Started coming down in buckets so I called it a morning at 915. May sit letter this afternoon weather permitting and definitely tomorrow morning.

And my QB just went down last week. Hopefully my backup fills in nicely to keep the streak going.

Happy Birthday. Enjoy your day!

Called it quits about 915 as the rain decided to come down in buckets. I was soaked and my gear is soaked. Headed to the store to check out beer selection and get something to make for breakfast. Full belly now and sitting on couch. Love Saturday's!! We'll see what it looks like for an afternoon sit.

Wow it's not nice out here but game on. Bumped three on way in.

It's the girly glass that makes him come across as bitchy, but he means well.LOL

Zem has stuck with me since grade school and is part of my last name. 18 is my daughter's jersey number for soccer and our house number. Quick and easy when signing up so I stuck with it. Real Name: Sean

You had me at "meat raffle"!

If he posted it on Facebook, it's free game for all to see. Go brag on the internet buddy where only EVERYONE can see it. He will get the punishment he deserves for beIng greedy and bragging about it. You did the right thing. Don't lose sleep over it.

Congrats on a great buck. Love it when it all comes together.

Mondays suck so I'm making it all better. This is tasty.

October 15th PM hunt Got in the stand by 430 and sat until 630. Only saw squirrels last night. Actually watched one schuck a black walnut for over 15 minutes about 15 yards away on a stump. Pretty cool to watch. Took the kids out spotlighting some fields. Drove 3 roads and counted 96 deer and a red fox. Saw two nice 8's, one which dogging a doe, and some smaller bucks. Full moon had them herded up as we saw groups of 10 to 15 deer in the same field which we usually don't see around here as it's not agricultural close by. October 16th. Slept in til 730, woohoo! Left at 930 to head to the cabin with my BIL, FIL, my son, and my niece and nephew. Spent the late morning and early afternoon mowing, cutting fire wood, and cleaning things up and making general repairs for the gun season. Life is so busy or I would try and bow hunt down there but no water or electric and an hour and a half drive one way crushes that idea along with my wife's plans around here. Was hot out there today so hunting was not high on the list of to dos today.

Getting dressed and headed out now. Good luck this evening everyone!

Getting a late start with the journal this year. Have been busy running around and just hadn't been feeling it once the season started. Funny how you wait 10 long months for the season to start up and sometimes when it gets here, it just doesn't feel right. Maybe it is the nicer weather that has had me putting it off, not sure. I sat for the first time last Saturday, October 8th. Forecast was 100% chance of rain for the morning so I slept in. Woke up and saw it was dry of course. Ended up hunting the afternoon. Pulled my trail cam card on Thursday and does were moving in the evening and had two small bucks that came through in the morning during the week. I was in my stand by 330 and sat til 6 when the skies opened up. Called it early and went home. No deer sighted. Oct 15th - My mom's birthday Woke up at 6 and got dressed. Made it to my stand by 630 and all was quiet. As it started getting light I could see a deer 70 + yards feeding near the neighbors. It started to wander away from me and I lost sight of it for 30 seconds and then I saw it running back my way but up into the woods behind me. I waited and he never appeared. It was a chilly 31 degrees and the fog was rolling in and out as the breeze kicked up. All I could hear were the leaves raining down as the frost was heavy this morning and they could no longer hold on. I continued to scan all directions and nothing was moving. At 9 I had to get down to head to a soccer game. I looked and saw no movement around me so I climbed down. The fog in the woods was thick. I got to the field edge and looked out and saw nothing. I proceeded to my trail cam to retrieve the card. Once I finished I headed out a trail through the field edge. I was only 20 to 30 yards from my stand and two deer exploded out of the field past me and headed right into woods were I had just exited. I swore under my breath and shook my head as I made the walk of shame back to the in laws house. 10 more minutes and they would have come right to me on a string. Beautiful morning and hope I didn't screw up the area too bad or educate those deer too much. I plan to hit the same stand in about 30 minutes and sit until dark. Cam card revealed all the does were now moving in the morning and in the middle of the night and bucks were moving just before dark this past week. Stay tuned.

I hunt close to residential too and I feel your pain at times. Have rushed to get in early and all is quiet. Right when it gets to the last hour, then they come outside and mow or leaf blow. Deer are used to those sounds though so don't fret and hang in there if the hornets don't get to you first.

Congrats Stone, AT, and WNY!!! Was beautiful this morning. Was in stAnd by 630. Had one unknown feeding out at 70+. Got down at 9 to head to soccer. Bumped two coming right at me as I got down and walked 20 yards. Never saw them, just the flash and the noise of them hauling ass away and right past my stand I just got out of. Will be out this evening

My buddy drank 3 of those one night and he texted me saying he was stumbling around his house and should of had the diaper on like the dog on the bottle.

Great pics and brings back memories of the baseball hole and the Trestle pool. Miss going up there. Haven't been there fishing in about 10 years. Definitely a different experience but fun none the less. I have a Great Lakes 9ft noodle rod with Pro Fisher spinning reel I bought to use up there and never used it. Will sell it for $75 if anyone is interested. Pole alone sells for $80. Prefer local but could ship if buyer pays shipping. PM for pics.

Trying something new on a Wenesday night, why not right? Pretty good.
