Beauty. Now don't take this the wrong way but I don't know how big he really is: I say that with VERY LITTLE EXPERIENCE except for a bear hunt in Maine this summer. Everyone who shot a bear said, " I thought it was so much bigger" after recovering the it bear. My buddy "shot a monster" and when the guide found it he estimated it to be 150lbs. Real weight=105lbs! So even a guide of 20+ years overestimated by 1/3rd. Apparently they shrink faster than George Constanza at a Hampton pool party!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow...you have had my experiences of my last 15 years bow hunting all in one season! Every year is a new year for me fraught with old and new mistakes! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How many hours spent deer hunting ?
crappyice replied to turkeyfeathers's topic in General Chit Chat
Just logged my 30th hour on stand for the westchester management program (not counting any travel, hiking or climbing the tree - nine of that counts for this program). Probably another 10 hours at a different track of private land. Saw three total deer, none of which while I was in my tree. I keep expecting the area to erupt with rutting behavior which Is why I haven't changed things up - definition of insanity=doing the same thing and expecting different results!!!

Buck bomb brought no change to my hunting experience this season. Not a damn thing. I did learn that my friend, PITA the squirrel, averages a 49.7 second wait in his nest before venturing out to find more eats. That's how bad it has been- I have begun tracking squirrel movement. Saturday I will focus on the local chipmunk collection schedule for a comparison! I AM LOSING MY MIND!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Jumped two doe as I walked to my spot in 3s - glad I saw them since I was starting to forget what they look like! Cracked open a buck bomb to see if they will stir things up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Working today but decided to actually walk the dog this morning as opposed to him just hitting his morning routine in the yard. Walked along a nature study woods in New Rochelle and kicked a massive doe...5 minutes later-2 more. That is 3x the amount of deer I have seen all season when on stand(30+ hours of sit time-not counting travel and scouting and walking and set up). Man am I bitter!!!

No reason why today can't be the day. Stepped out of the car to get suited up and was greeted by a nice shooting star- maybe the stars are aligned today. 40 and calm so far in 3s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I am definitely in the wrong part of 3s . 2 properties I hunt have shown zero sign, let alone deer. It really seems like the deer packed up and moved. No scrapes, no rubs, not even $hit piles in an area that has been productive in the past- 4 deer last year from 2 of us. Only sign is a bunch of coyotes and so I wonder if they are the cause for the vacant land.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sitting for the evening in 3s hoping the deer got the memo that the rut is on! What the hell are they waiting for?!? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Cul...how do I get accurate horizontal distance if when from the cliff edge I see nothing but treetops 100 yards away. I hit no structure with a range finder...it goes right over the top! I know what you mean but in this case it doesn't hold true. By the way, I would never shoot in the direction of the structure (unless hunting bully goats or Spider-Man in westchester). I wonder if that should be in consideration when bow hunting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I read a report that 7 years is the life expectancy of most appliances. That's why I am still holding on to an old water heater- once I t's replaced that's a 7 year job if I am lucky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doc I get it but if the person enforcing the law is equally ignorant(not due to his/her intelligence but due to the vagueness of the law) we are all ignorant even if we know what is says....holy $hit- I have not idea what I just said!!!! That's how crazy this is Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

3s remained dead this weekend: my buddy took a scrappy looking 6 pointer but he was just a dopy deer. Not even smelling the ground when he walked in. Also saw a doe with fawns still. Hoping the colder temps coming this weeknd will kick things into gear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No one told me it was going to rain this mornings in 3s. Not a lot but enough to make me damp and cold. Heard some crunching before first light . Ever since, nothing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
3s my buddy had a mama and fawns in tow. She hasn't ditched them yet so we are still waiting for things to get going here. Also had a spike just milling about with no interest in her. Would expect the dopey sex craved teenager to try something with her even if she was getting anywhere close to ready. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks...however that response is crazy to me since it's a rule/law. Shouldn't it be a standard black and white ruling? No slam on you buckmaster-I agree with your advice and ambiguity. My frustration lies in the fact that I want to play by the book but the book is then interpreted by officers who have different OPINIONS (which should be irrelevant when enforcing a law). In a different case I could not get an officer's "blessing" to discharge a firearm in a certain area(not 3s). He said something to the effect of "I don't see anything in the books that says you can't fire a shotgun...but I bet if you do you will be visited by law enforcement." That's not a comforting answer since I don't want to/shouldn't have to defend my actions if I have done nothing wrong according to the books. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do vertical feet count??? So I have access to a 3s property that has a narrow strip of woods which is located on a plateau (for lack of a better word). Where I would set up is right on a cliff edge and straight below is a residence/auto garage. I ranged the roof of the structure below-65 yards=195'....all good right? By the way I doubt I will actually hunt this due to other factors but just curious of the legalities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
