  1. First year with a license and although saw a bunch of deer, no tags filled. Either out of range or too little. Still had a lot of fun and already looking forward to next November. Maybe I'll go get my bow safety class done.
  2. Thanks, I do usually set up either next to downed brush, or sort of "blend" it in with some branches. Wish I stayed out later this evening it seems like sun down is primetime. Saw several good size deer this year but never had them in range. The shotgun is frustrating; I don't feel comfortable with a shot over 50-60 yards. The gun is dead on at the range on sand bags, just feels different in the field. Rifle purchase is in order for next season. I would have easily tagged out with a rifle this season.
  3. Do you mean brushing the leafs away from the ground before setting it up? I usually just pop it up and go inside with my camping chair. The leaves make noise if you move around but not much. Thank you guys for your replies. Went out for last day of gun season today and no deer. These guys came within ten feet.
  4. Hey guys, new hunter with a question about ground blinds. I bought a pop up ground blind before turkey season and had great success. I decided to use it for deer. Experienced hunters told me to leave it in the woods as deer will notice it as something new and get used to it being there. I hunt several private land areas with several friends so I take the blind as its a backpack into the woods and pop it up for the hunt then take it with me. During scouting several mature deer came within ten yards of the blind not caring at all. During the season I had several very young deer basically walk within 20yrds without noticing it at all. Mature deer came within 100yrds but nothing close enough for me to shoot with my shotgun during the season. Seems like mixed results to me. Is it true that blinds need to be left in the woods or can you setup just for a few hours while your in the woods and take out with you?
  5. Have a Galaxy S4 at the moment. The Samsung phones blow away the iPhone IMHO. HTC makes some nice androids as well.
  6. If you want a good laugh read some of the customer reviews on amazon for his book.
  7. Dumb liberals. Not to get off topic but... Ever notice a deer will be eating your lawn. You cut the grass and dump a huge pile of fresh cut grass in the woods which should be like a buffett for a deer and yet they continue to eat your lawn instead?
  8. Gonna be south of the commons on the other side of route 32. There is an old slum hotel behind the Gulf station across from the Kohls-Staples plaza. They are leveling the hotel and building there.
  9. This is terrible news! I drove past there every day on way home from work. Gonna be broke.
  10. Thanks for the review. I'm looking at an original condor made in Brazil not the new model. It barely had any use, near mint, guy wants 3 bills transfer included. Any opinions?
  11. Been considering a condor O/U used so guess I'm lurking.
  12. Exactly, the second was designed for citizens to defend themselves. Somehow hunters constantly get tossed in the arguments.
  13. This looks interesting. Do ATVs need to be registered and insured?
  14. I live across the road from a large stocked pheasant preserve and on Saturday and Sunday mornings there are plenty of shotgun blasts in the distance. Had a relative over once and he asks me why I don't call the police. I looked and him and just shook my head and laughed before I said he needed to get back to the city quick. I've had friendly conversations with some of the club members and they are really nice guys. A few have said they were sorry if it was a disturbance early in the morning but I always inform them that the preserve was there long before I was and it does not bother me in the least. Maybe the best way to figure this out with your neighbor is to simply reiterate your request to inform you if they feel your shooting is a disturbance. Of course you legally are in the right and calling the police was a crappy thing to do. Keeping neutral non shooters from becoming anti shooting is a plus all around though.
  15. Great shot through the trees of him head on. Almost time...
  16. Excellent tips, thank you for taking the time to help us hunting newbies G-man.
  17. Nice ink, real work of art
  18. Very big yote. Looks like a German shepard
