  1. I heard the owls when I was getting my gear on at the car, wasn't sure if it was another hunter calling but apparently not.I was hoping they would make a gobbler sound off but no such luck.
  2. I had these 2 fly by me while turkey hunting last week, cel phone pic so not the best clarity. First time seeing a pair of owls for me.
  3. Happy Birthday to your Great Uncle Salvatore. Buona salute !
  4. And soon Tannerite will be banned because people have to abuse it.Personally I have never used the stuff but it amazes me how many idiots are around today with no common sense.
  5. When I decided to try turkey hunting in the 1980s I bought a cassette tape by Dick Kirby of Quaker Boy calls. He demonstrated and explained what sounds to make ,when and why. I called a Hen and then a Jake in my first year although I did not shoot the Jake.( I would have but that is another story). I also like the Knight and Hale dvds for the calling, you just have to accept the sales pitchs in the video. Hunting is big business for better or worse.
  6. I was with a buddy of mine,we were on the east side not on River rd though. It was a Sat. We were looking around for bow hunting options and hoping to see a shed but did not find any.
  7. I have been to Letchworth twice so far. Found one "new to me" spot that had plenty of tracks ,rubs etc. Saw one trail cam cabled to a tree, hope I wasn't in your area.
  8. Such a shame that even with people becoming sick from tick bites there are still people that will not accept hunting as a management tool against Lyme Disease. I wonder if any anti-hunters have reconsidered.
  9. My cousin lives in Fayetteville and contracted Lyme Disease.She told me a plan to allow bow hunting was met with protests and cancelled.Looks like this is the result. Sounds like the State Park should have allowed hunting before now but it is easy for me to say that because hindsight is 20/20.
  10. I hope you have a great birthday and many more.
  11. My guess would be juveniles shooting at anything and not knowing how or wanting to eat the prey. Shooting a pheasant and leaving it to be eaten by another animal doesn't make sense unless the shooter is out just to see if they can hit a moving target. Whomever is responsible should try sporting clays instead.
  12. Very interesting history of Leupold info there. A million lbs. of aluminum used a year and long standing employment of Americans. I think I will look at Leupold the next time I need a scope.
  13. Received an email about this today. Interesting. http://www.dec.ny.gov/press/104508.html
  14. No deer for me this year either. I had a couple blown chances and today had my crosshairs on a buck but couldn't tell if he had 3 pts. on a side or only 2 (antler restriction). I enjoyed the woods but would have liked to have had a few more opportunities at a shot and some colder weather probably would have helped.I have a few improvements to make and then try again next year hopefully.
  15. See it may be a good thing you cut your self, now you can get other things checked. I need to go for a physical too my BP is a little high on the systolic side.Feel better.
  16. I bought them at B.J.'S this year on sale I believe for $16. I use a lot of them hand warmers because I hate to shiver 18 ft. off the ground.
  17. Do you guys hunt during daylight hours for coyotes or only at night ? How productive are mornings ? Can coyotes be hunted all day or is it a waste of time after early morning ? Thanks.
  18. Shot with bird shot maybe ? Glad you saw the poor thing,sorry you didn't get to take it home.
  19. I was discouraged too until 4:00 p.m. today when I turned my head and a buck is walking about 40 yds. to my right. Unfortunately he and I saw each other at about the same time and I couldn't swing my shotgun 180 degrees fast enough but man was I HAPPY to not only see a deer but a buck this late in the game.I have not been seeing anything except one tail the last 8 times out. Hang in there if you can.
  20. Awesome buck ! News flash : The latest expensive, trendy hunting attire doesn't make a better hunter.
  21. I missed that but thanks it was nice of you to offer.
