  1. Got this doe yesterday after friend put on a one man push. Got another nice one shotgun opener. Bummed season is over. Enjoyed about 80 hours in the woods with lots of memories. Have a very Merry Christmas everyone and hope Santa brings you some great hunting gear.
  2. Great buck Dez. Congrats. Way to close the season down with him
  3. Boomstick roared. Nice doe down today. That makes one on opener and closer. Buddy did one man drive for me. Sucks my gear is out of car and ready to wash and put away til next year. Love smoke pole hunting. May 1 for thunder chicken won't be here soon enough
  4. Hunting 9H tomorrow. Darn near 4 feet of snow there. Packing in gear on daughter's sled so I don't sweat on way in. I think the snow is too light and airy for snowshoes. Going to sit in the dark pines and dig myself in a ground blind. Calling for 9 degrees and west wind of 11 mph. Should be more comfortable to sit in there than stand, and snow tends to be not as deep in there with canopy of white pines. Second to last hurrah with Tuesday closer and my last hunt then. Hopefully my theory pays off that they'll be moving thru there.
  5. Nephew plugged a doe this morning, came out from pines Brother just plugged one, came out from pines. Hit them pines is moral of story
  6. I know here in WNY they control the population in a nearby park with so called snipers and 308's suppressed. This is all in a no hunting zone and nature reserve. All of which they keep on the very DL. Never anything in the paper or news. Heard they shoot only flat tops in February. Um, thinking a lot of bucks are hornless by then.
  7. If you're looking for something to shoot buy a .22 IMO. An LCP or LC9 isn't going to be a gun you're running a lot of ammo thru. I'm assuming your looking for a carry gun 24/7 vs a shooting gun ?!
  8. I own a Beretta Tomcat in .32 which never leaves my pocket. Went with the sole purpose of buying the LC9 for something a little bigger in punch. Had money, got gun in hand and a little too big for front pocket carry. The extra inch more than the .380 LCP is quite noticable to stuff in the pocket. I walked away without buying anything. Really wanted the LC9. My .32 with silvertips is going to have to be it for now. Remember a .380 is better to have on you than a .45 at home in the drawer/safe. Summer carry is tough. All for having something rather than nothing IMO.
  9. I regularly hunt 9H myself. Off 362 Forwent driving down from Lancaster yesterday as the North and South winded roads were going to suck at 5 am. Seeing those coyotes out that way? There's 5 or so hunting hard my way . Did find a set of fisher tracks last week which was sort of cool. I'll be down that way Monday and Tuesday again.
  10. I've seen cougars in WNY. The Yellow Jaguar hotel/bar down the street has them routinely on Saturday nights. On a side note I haven't seen the mountain lion pic in the back of the pick up this year reported to have been shot here, and there and here and there....
  11. 9h was a bust yesterday. Dark til dark. Until 1 in ladder stand covering the sanctuary dark pines where they seek refuge and covered the apples from climber in afternoon. Nary a deer to be seen. Still have a few inches of snow out there. Very windy and sleeted hard. Considering not even going in high winds. Never any success during windy days. Apples are getting worked over well lately. More snow coming and Thursday's another day. Good luck everyone.
  12. Another fawn and turkey killer down. Nice job
  13. 9H here. 29 degrees 17mph south wind. Cut very few tracks on way in. Let the smoke pole make noise today folks
  14. Have had my Summit Viper for years. Very comfortable to sit in dark to dark. It's not noisy nor difficult to use. I'd consider it fairly light . I'll be in it tomorrow to set up a decent shooter that's a touch off the path from my ladder stand.
  15. I believe most hunting accidents are due to stupidity. Unfortunately you can't teach anyone common sense.
  16. Just saw a pic of the biggest whitetail I've ever seen. Killed off Rte 219 during bow season . I believe it was a 12 point. The mass was unbelievable and thing had to weigh 250 lbs. Wondering if anybody had info on it. Age ? Real weight? Score? Friend of hunter had pic. Said they had only saw it on game cams 3x in 5 years. Just not sure why more info hasn't floated around. This thing has to score 180.
