A job well done in every facet. Good story and ending.

Cory and Miller - get some hearing aids... you're probably missing more than just deer in life.

Steve - then you haven't tried it. As I stated, the volume is just cracked on at the very lowest it can be possibly on and I can still hear my surroundings. Windy days and rainy days it doesn't matter as you can't hear a buck anyway. To each their own though.

I never would read a book on stand. You can't read a book and watch the woods. That being said, I have found that an iPod with music and even better yet, loaded with a few books on tape (CD) work great as you can listen and look at the same time. As we all know you cant kill them from the house so I sit as long as I can til I'm so bored I can't stand it. Then I put in some ear buds. Turn the iPod volume all the way down and then play a song and just barely turn on the volume. I can still hear the woods even on quiet days. On rainy or windy days it doesn't matter. Try it!

I don't golf and I gave up the scooter after nearly 40 years of riding so hunting is really my only passion these days. I really only hunt deer and to a lesser degree I also enjoy spring turkey season. I first bow hunted around 2001 or 2002... not sure. Since then bow season has me addicted. I still enjoy gun season as well but hunting the pre-rut from Halloween til opening day gun is what I live for.

This is our 5th season here at the new place and have been letting the little bucks grow. This is proof that even when it's not perfect and only some of the other land owners also practice the same plan it can work. The first year nothing but little bucks and each year it has gotten better.

I was thinking over 50% would make it for sure. Based on the PA study above and the less bears we tend to have in NY I'd think 65% probably make it through the first 6 months or til they lose their spots.

What percentage of fawns born each year make through their first 6 months? Reason I ask is I have seen numerous dead on the road this year. Made me wonder how many succumb to coyotes and cars in their first 6 months. Do you think it's 50% - higher or lower?

This was my thought as well and the reason I asked the question. A month should produce a lot more antler growth.

Are these 2 bucks the same deer? Top pic taken July 12 and the bottom taken June 15.

Voss Signs. Yeah what he said. 100 sign aluminum with info on them like $120. I git some look as good as new 4 years later. Got mine in yellow.

A nice Can Am Outlander would be perfect. 2 people easily and more than enough power. I've had a 400 Yamaha Bog bear for 16 years and it's all I need. I do prefer gear shift vs auto.

Anybody got this one yet?

and I'll fetch ya another.
