ANTLERS

Nice mount and more importantly,you got it back in April!

Still wearing antlers on march 29? I guess he just doesnt want to let them go!

I know Ron from a hunting club we belong to out east on L.I. he did a bear rug for me back in 2000,I'd use him again in a heart beat,But I believe he retired from the business.

Oct can't come soon enough.Im heading up there this sunday to bring my camper home,will do a walk around to look for sheds.

Thats what I thought,BTW is that buck one you took int he lake Huntington area?

Fairgame,out of curiousity,What was the turn around time for the completion of the mount.I guess the usual 9-10 months?

Im using Rod in callicoon for a 7PTR I got last opening day,has not come in yet.He seems to be pretty busy,Plenty of deer being dropped off when I was there ,not just from NY but from PA as well.Clear differance between the deer from NY and P.A.,Deer from PA stand out with bigger bodies and larger racks.

Your lucky they didnt damage your trail camera.I had a bear rip mine off the tree,Found it about 50 yards from the tree with teeth marks in it.

Maybe Long Island Game farm. ;D

The selleck/Rosie o'dumbell controversy went away very quickly when after she made the statement that no one in this country should have firearms,except police and the military.And then it was reported that her body guards that she employs to protect her "kids" and wife are ARMED!

Private land in Manorville,He was young but he has the blood spots on his head.May not have been a big rack but he had something.

got out early this morning and at 7:15,Had what I thought was a doe walk up to within 20 yards of me.It was actually a buck that had shed already.Oh well,you can't eat the antlers anyway.

That shed buck with the arrow in its shoulder was taken at Rocky point spot 15.It was taken by a co-worker of mine.

Now that the season is over,Im just curious with the opinion of fellow 3H hunters.Has the quality of the bucks you saw proof that AR is working?Is the doe numbers really as bad as the DEC says it is?For me,The bow season was very slow but picked up dramatically on opening day of the gun.I saw 9 does opening day and tagged out at 3pm with a nice 7 pntr.Did not go back up again until the ML season and the one day I was up there saw several does also.Curious to hear what you guys have to say.

Do you think they were concerned about scent control,doe pee scent waffers,trail camera's,grunt tubes,ratteling devices,etc....Just a bow tie and bowler hat.Those were real men back then.

Not reported,Poached,Car accidents.You can probably add another 500 onto that total for the county.

next to impossable to get .57 cal minnie's,It's an English caliber, so years ago I had a mold made in .577

Friday I'll take to the field with my model 1853 .577 cal enfield.I havent taken a deer with it yet,But Im going to try.

I found a great new micro beer located in Green port called Green port Harbor.They brew a pumkin spice beer in the fall called Leaf pile,As well as several others.They sell their beer via kegs at beverage places through out the island,I go in with my glass growler,They fill it from the tap for $14.

conditions are ideal,but no its off to work I go.

Send those Bear numbers to Jon Corzine and invite him over for some Bear stew.

If were talking about the property in manorville,You would have to scale a fence to get in.All 2000 acres are fenced in.As far as big bucks,The property was fenced in back in the 60's,Trapping deer inside.Because they were not hunted like the ones on the other side of the fence,they died of old age.However now thats its not an active base anymore,Fenses have been left open and many of the deer have slipped out to the wild side.Also,toxic waste from that base has seeped into the ground and has contaminated the ground water which is showing up at a hunting club I belong to across the street.

As for number 3,I've walked out at the end of a day and had a deer print in my print that I left that morning,walking in.

As long as its been air dried for 60 days,Boone and Crocket requirements.

Lake Huntington has no snow,as of Friday.Leaves are wet but not crunchy.Should be good conditions this weekend.
