Thanks Shawn,After 22 years,I've seen it all.I think Im just about done.Time to let the young bucks deal with this.Retire and spend some time fishing and hunting.

Although I have no power in Cold Spring harbor and 4 tree's down and I havent Seen my house in 4 days,Im not complaining.Im NYPD and have been on 12 hour shifts since monday.The destruction and loss that I've seen in the Rockaway's and Staten Island is beyond words.A 5 FT wall of water hit Staten Island and traveled 1.5 miles inland I.E. a mimi sunomi. We spent the last several days doing water rescues and house to house searchs for bodies.Keep these people in your thoughts,Hundreds of family's have lost every thing they own,House,cars ect.

Good luck John,I too got hit hard.3 tree's down,which took out the power lines in front of my house.I guess I got fire wood for next year.Plenty to do with the clean up,no hunting this weekend.

Water all ready over the bulk head at battery park in lower NYC,And the storm has not even hit yet.This is going to be a bad one.

I bought a box of .308 rounds last October and They did not ask me for ID,I went to the one in Melville on Lond Island.

I would say Coyote's.Lucky he got away.
-
Congrats,Any legally harvested deer is a trophy in my book.My first two deer I ever took were bow kills in Suffolk and I look back on them with as much pride as any buck i ever took.

I encountered one during the may turkey season.Did everything you said,Waved my arms,Yelled at it ect. It just stood there staring at me for what seemed like an hour.He didnt seem the least bit scared.I finally threw a big stick at him,And only then did trot away.

Bear and its looks fresh.
-
That sounds like a good day afield.Saturday was dead for me ,Mosquitos and squirrels were the only living thing I saw.One bright spot was a huge pile of bear scat near my ladder stand.
-
7 to 3 on stand,Nothing.

SteveNY,Funny you should mention that,several years ago I was sitting in my stand from sun up to about noon,with out seeing a single living thing ,When a nice bear came strolling through,As I was about to fire,My cell phone goes off.The bear pauses for a moment on full alert.long story short,the phone stops ringing in my pocket,the bear continues walking and I drop it.Turns out,the call was a wrong number!.I have the picture and story in the bear section.

What could have made this pile of pinecons?
ANTLERS replied to Deerthug's topic in General Chit Chat
If you look at the lower right side you see what remains of the husk after the animal devours it.Just leaves a thin brown cob. -

ANTLERS replied to Deerthug's topic in General Chit Chat
I have the same pine tree in front of my house,A squirrel is hoarding them in that spot.They eat them the same way we eat corn on the cob.They sit on a branch outside my bedroom window and eat them,sounds like someone sand papering a 2x4 and then leave the husk behind. -
Nice Mulie!! I know the area well.My wife and I did a pack trip with an outfitter in July of1998,Bridger National Forest.What a great area.We came upon a skull and rack of a poached Elk hanging from a tree.The outfitter took it down and turned it over to the local Fish and Wildlife.If I can dig up the picture,I'll post it.

Found out who is stealing my corn stalks.... Caught em!
ANTLERS replied to burmjohn's topic in Trail Camera Pictures
John,they must cross the road to my side because we've taken 3 off the property in the last 10 years and I arrowed a 4th that I could not recover. -
A cold winter usually keeps them dormant,However from what I've read snow actually protects them.You would think a cold snowy winter would kill most of them.
-
Great hunt Grizz,But I have one question..Do you have room in the house for all those mounts??
-
Scouted out my property sunday,trimmed some shooting lanes,set out a camera,etc.Did'nt see much sign,But saw a ton of deer out in the open fields in the middle of the afternoon in broad daylight,With out a care in the world.Thats the problem I find during the bow season,I see nothing during the day because their all out in the open well before sunset.It;s not until the rut kicks in that I see movement deep in the woods.
-
Heading up tomorrow John.Scout,set up camera etc.We're almost there,a few weeks to go.
-
I know it sounds weird,But I do all my pre-season Suffolk scouting wearing my chest waders I use for surf casting.It keeps me protected up to my arm pits.I also wear long sleeve t-shirt with rubber gloves.Yes,I must appear like a seriel killer if anyone see's me in the woods,But Lyme disease scares the hell out me.
-
There a lot of fun to hunt,But reality sets in when you are standing over one that weights 700 lbs and now you have to pack it out.Trust me I know.

Thats a Kangaroo!!

A bad day fishing is still better than a good day at work.
