Shore lunch without the shore. Buddy made chili with elk , pork , venison and 4 types of beans. Back up we go. Booted a tail on the way out from a blown down apple tree. Wiiiiindy

Love the anticipation of hopefully hearing my buddy shoot. I almost always hunt solo. It's like the feeling of finding a good hole that you know that should hold a fish , making the perfect cast .... Cmon ... And forgot how comfy the Summit Viper climber is.

9H Eagle/Bliss. 42 degrees 14 mph ssw wind. Posted my buddy in my ladder stand where I killed my deer this year. He's armed with flintlock He always shoots 3-4 deer by his house but only has seen 3 tails all year. Hoping he shoots one today. I decided to climb to top of mountain to set climber up over fresh rubs from other day. Wind is perfect for it too. Although as soon as I typed that , swirling thermals Are we the only 2 hunting today ? I should try and post pics sideways , maybe they'd turn out normal.

Wake the dead nitro imperial stout by Left Hand is a great beer

hope you're talking mule deer and not mule Either way , sorta funny Although I did hear of a guy who took his deer into a check in station a few years back. Thought he shot a spike buck. Turns out he shot a farmers goat DEC made him go apologize to farmer and no charges were filed.

one of my favorite beers. Or are you referring to wife off of work making cookies and candies ?!

10% Porter with vanilla and coffee. Wife has off the last week baking Christmas cookies and candy. They're everywhere!

think that would make the hair on the back of my neck stand up

Beer cheese soup , sprinkle of scallions , crumbled bacon and a few dashes of Scorned Woman hot sauce

And Remington Sluggers have also killed a lot of deer. How many still use them with the performance of higher standard sabots/slugs today? Nevermind, you asked for our opinion and choose not to value it. Not saying lead won't kill em dead but there's better alternatives for velocity, pattern density, range and energy. Tool around on Oldgobbler.com for awhile and ask around.

Suit yourself IMO. Should spend the money you're going to spend on a choke and buy Heavi Mag Blends instead but hey what do we know I killed quite a few birds with Winchester XX and never looked back after switching to Mag Blends.

so you saw deer go down and know you killed it ?

Huh? I fill out my tag when I'm standing over the dead deer. I can't tally up sleeping with a girlfriend in High School as I thought about it but yet she was never on her back. I've lost 2 in my life with gun. Both shots were cake, thought I had good hits. Tracked for a long time. I was tracking live deer. Bet the house they made it. Felt like crap about it too.

I'm sure if you post this on NY trapping forum you'll locate someone pretty fast. Good group of folks on there.

It's a product (spray ) made by Sawyer's that you spray on your hunting clothes prior to going into the woods. It'll last up to 2 weeks after applied. If you have ticks in your area you want this. Tractor Supply, Dicks, Cabela's etc all carry it.

well smack my arse and call me Sally. That is.

tuesday is last day

Thursday Dec 17th. 1:30 pm. Approaching 100 hours of gun season. Stand is about 100 yards from large grouping of white pines. Can barely see thru them while in there. Other side is trout stream where deer seem to bed around. 11-12 maybe more came ripping out of there straight to me. I mean hauling. Fawn , fawn , there's a big body and concentrate on it. May have been buck or bucks in the group but it happened so fast. Tails weren't even up I verbally bleated and she stopped almost right under my stand Amazed it worked ! Aimed like a shotgun to get on her and only had to move scope a minor bit to get on vitals. Deer were running everywhere and kept my eye on her. She didn't go far at all. Took off top of heart and I believe both lungs. #3 for the freezer. 2 hours to get her out to my car again. I need a pack mule ! Hopefully tip over another Monday or Tuesday.

Good eye sir and nice identification

I'm working retail all day. Going to make this the computer screen saver. I'll keep looking for deer and tap you on the shoulder if I see anything. Lovely view but some 'brown" would make it better.

Spend the $ on the Heavi mag blends ! You only shoot once or maybe twice a season. First shot is with daughters youth Remmington 20 gauge with Jelly head tube at 30 yards. I pattern guns to hit head and neck with bottom of the densest part of pattern. I hate crunchies. Second target is 40 yards. These turkey loads are outstanding

. Sadly I'll admit having it and it did have a sheep on the bottle. Crap , might have it been sheep pizz all along ?!

. Scent lock ? Turkeys can smell better than deer you know ; )
