    Carrying a 1911

    If you look at 9mm or even .380 ACP 1911 style pistols, you will find many that are much smaller and lighter than any 1911 in .45 ACP.  Are you adamant about carrying a .45 ACP?

    The Sig P938 fits the bill exactly if you are willing to drop to a 9mm.  I could never carry a full size 1911 in any caliber. Just to big and heavy.  I love the P938... perfect  solution. PS: It also has amazing night sights.

    How many is to many?

    If you're goal is to let em grow then you have to be willing to not take any. With that said if there are 2 hunters on the 100 acres 1 each every year not hurt a thing.  I have almost 100 acres and my son and I have taken 6 deer off the land in the 5 seasons, but all by choice. None this year but 2 bucks last year.  Our willingness to to let them grow is working. I had 6 different buck on camaera, all between 115 - 130, so we expect next year to start to see some NY trophies.  Hope this helps.

    OK - I have dealt with this kind of thing when I bought my land.  I was hearing that many people had hunted my parcel prior to my purchasing.  I bought stencils and spray painted this on a 4'X6' plywood. My son called it "the Asshole Sign" but it worked.

    I can verify that if you have the land and many of your neighbors share the same concept... we can grow respectable racks in NY.  I moved here in May of 2014 and have just under 100 acres. The neighbors to the North have about 200 plus the 150 acres to the East is not hunted hard. The neighbors to the West now are a different story.  Fortunately they are not people who hunt much but they are brown it's down hunters.  My (*) neighbors to the South who moved here in 2017 do not hunt and have 21 acres and do not allow hunting.

    Prior to owning the land, which we live on, my prior (*) south neighbors claimed to have killed 14 deer on the hilltop and they were meat hunters so I can only imagine they killed many each year. They moved in 2016. 

    The first year in 2014, I had nothing but spikes and 4 pts.  The 2015 not much better but in 2016 I had 3 small 8 pts and various other smaller bucks.  I killed a really wide 6 pt with my bow.  In 2017 two of those 8 pts were killed by my son and I during gun season.  In all honesty we should have let them grow another year. This year was the best by far.  I had 6 nice bucks - all were 8 pts and a nice 10 pt.  2 of the 8's and the 10 were all NY State shooters.

    It does work if you're willing to maybe take a doe or two and occasionally a buck for meat.  I'm already looking forward to next year to see whats in store.

    So how was your season?

    How did your bow season go?  

    I have to say,  I saw all three good bucks I had on camera at one time or another but other than the wide 8 that just appeared on a wet windy day and offered no shot by the time I reacted, I never had a single buck inside bow range in NY this season.  I had a few doe I could have dropped.  

    Foreman vs Ali Fight

    Ali certainly was a great heavyweight and arguably the greatest of all time.  IMHO, IF Mike Tyson's first trainer, Cus D'Mato had not died and IF Tyson had stayed with Kevin Rooney instead of joining up with Don King he may have been the best there ever was. Both D'Mato and Rooney kept hm focused.  I always said... he was a bigger, stronger, faster version of Joe Frasier. He was cat quick and had thunder in both hands and in his earlier days before DK he had a defense that was hard to penetrate. Oh well.....

    need some advice

    Call me old fashion but I have used a Tru-Glo pendulum single pin for the past nearly 20 years of bow hunting.  Sighted in for 25 yds and I'm good out to 40.  I just hold at the top of the back at 40. The pendulum works perfect compensating for the angle.  Tried and True... Never let me down.

    My trail cam pics dropped off significantly the first 2 weeks of October. I've talked to several people that have said the same thing, kind of like "where did they go?"

    Rattled in my first buck last year.  I rattled and hit grunt tube a few times while doing that. Right after in the thick brush I see a small tree moving all over that a buck was raking.  Pissed him off for sure.  He came out down the trail 80 yards .  He started going the other way and I grunted again and he came on a rope to me.  A big body buck and was a short tine 7 point.  I passed on him but shouldn't have.  It was really cool.  

    A week later rattled an 8 point to within 50yards . He was chasing and snort wheezing at a 4 point.  So tried rattling to get him to come over after he disappeared in the brush.  He came back out 20 minutes later but too far away and he saw me move to turn in stand. 

    What time of year was this? What time of day? How long did you rattle?
