He won’t give it up.

I did tree work for a lot of years when I was younger. The first thing that we would do when using a ladder would be to tie off and get rid of it. A ladder causes more deaths to homeowners than any other tool.

Yes it can happen. But I'd rather keep the odds in my favor when hunting a 3.5-4.5 yo old buck. When I'm hunting a mature buck, I try to follow a long list of things that will help minimize alerting him to my presence. One of them is walk to my tree and walk out. Not to be walking all over the area. If I shoot a doe, I'll be spreading plenty of scent around. A very mature old buck may not tolerate any scent left behind by me in his core area and go nocturnal quickly. However, younger bucks will act much differently. Do older bucks make mistakes and still get killed? Sure they do. But killing one is hard enough, and if you want to consistently harvest big bucks, you need to have the odds in your favor as often as you can. That is why I pass on does until the late season.

Still looking. I've looked at the HHA sights, but it doesn't seem like you can change the single pin location to a horizontal position. Am I correct?

I don't eat blues, but from what I heard, bleed and ice it immediately. And don't freeze it. Eat it fresh.

We only got a few inches out here. It disappeared pretty quick. I think central and western Suffolk got it the worst.

Got these 2 pics of the same buck this morning, still holding both sides. He seems to be the last buck in the area that is still hanging on. P

With a 4 month season, I try to not shoot a doe until late December or January. Like FSW said, I don't want to add any pressure or scent to an area where I'd like to harvest a mature buck. If I was only hunting upstate with a shorter season, I'd probably wait for gun season.

What it really comes down to is when will you be planning your trip. That will dictate what to fish for and where to go for your best chance at filling a cooler from the salt.

I fished with Capt Jack Passie many times, and even hunted goose with him as well. He knows how to put fish in the boat, and will make sure that you go home with a full cooler.

I like saddles myself. I would start on the right side.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Great post reeltime. Those are words to live by.

My favorite from the fryer. Hot boneless buffalo wings.

See them all the time down here on the Island.

Can't wait to see what he looks like this year.

Unfortunately, both of those sites are out of stock. But thank you for posting. I've come across numerous sites that still list them, but are on back order or out of stock. There has to be one floating around somewhere.

It did just st happen. On Thursday I think. time stamp is wrong.

Thanks for taking the time to post.

Almost, but not quite. The Cosmic is a single pin. Like this.

$20 for a decent grease gun and $10 for a tube of synthetic grease will go a long way.

I have this sight on my bow and I really like it. And now I'm setting up a backup bow to shoot during the off season. I'd love to put on it as well, unfortunately they seem to have gone out of business. I've tried searching online and only found it on one site, but I think I got scammed. So I'd figure that I'd ask here. Does anyone have this sight that they no longer use and would like to sell it? If I can't locate one, I'll get something else. Thanks.
