You stole my answer!

He's a nice buck. Congratulations.

Clear separability between the neck, front shoulders, and hind quarters. Very muscular and that can be clearly seen. Each is it's own entity. The neck is big and clearly defined. The chest is deep. Perhaps a slight dip in it's bag. Definitely some belly sag. The lower legs are thick and also muscular. He is not front heavy coming up to a tight waste in the back (as a 3 year old would). He does not look like a big block on stilts (as a two year old often looks). My guess is he is at least 4.5 years old.

That right there is a magnificent piece of art

I think first snow of the year freaks a lot of them out. Seems some folks are seeing deer but seems slow, doesn't it?

LOL. I with I had time for them all. I am pretty much married to spruce.

Thanks for the feedback guys. moog - I will definitely let you know in the spring. As far as the deer browse, I have had Norway spruce browsed on before. Never white or blue. I will have blue but not for a couple more years. Thanks again guys.

Greetings If you are looking to planting Norway or white spruce on your property this fall then I have some available. Right now I have the following: Norway Spruce: 18 - 22". Three years old. 50 available. $12.00 each. White Spruce 17" - 19". Three years old. 30 available. $12.00 each. These are in a convenience pot where they have been roots trained. They are tall, stout, and well branched. All of them are at the end of their third growing season. They're nice trees and should hit the ground running. In the spring I will have larger ones in one gallon pots and then should have them from there on out. If you are interested then get in touch with me on here. And to everyone, good luck hunting this fall!

Agreed. Big think to pay attention to are restricted ATV units or portions of units where they are not allowed. I hunted in a non-ATV area one time with my rifle near Meeker. Very few people. I got a raggy. I hunted another time with my bow around Gunnison. It was so loaded with people that it wasn't even funny. And don't forget - there is a muzzleloader season right during the middle of bow season. I dealt with that too. Needless to say - tag soup.

Here is a list of the price changes https://cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/Our-Story-2019-Changes.aspx#ParkFees Elk and deer did not go up a penny for non-residents unless you plan on entering a draw. It is the same price as last year. Most of the increases were for Residents. The Qualifying license means that you must buy a Turkey license or a Small Game license in order to apply for the big game draw. If you are hunting over the counter then you don't need to worry about it. "Qualifying License" is a really bad way to describe it. But they're all on dope now anyway, eh. You can read some at the first link but it is best explained in the second link (page 6). https://cpw.state.co.us/qualifyinglicenses https://cpw.state.co.us/Documents/RulesRegs/Brochure/BigGame/biggame.pdf The small games license for non-res is $81.75. If you enter a draw then you could say the price went up $81.75. Salty but probably not the difference between going and not going. But it would burn my ass to buy it, not get drawn, and never use it. Hell, would you end up using it anyway? It's like Cuomo thought of it. He's probably jealous. Instead of just saying, "we are raising our rates", they force you to buy something you will likely never use - drawn or not - unless you live close to Colorado. This has to be the worst example of marketing I have ever seen in my life. By the way, I believe I read that this is the first time licenses have increased (in some fashion) for non-residents since 2006. Don't quote me on it but I am pretty sure I read that. So if you are hunting OTC (over-the-counter) not much has changed. But it does really stink you have to buy the turkey license or small gamed license to apply for a big game draw. Doesn't make much sense but..... toke toke.

Doesn't look like you are going to have a lot of treestand opportunities. I'd probably stay inside the property border 100 yards and make sure you practice - A LOT - all year. I don't know, it looks to only be 200 yards wide. And then there is the handle, which is probably useless for hunting unless you aim for the head. It is a little barren and given how skinny it is you may be waiting a few years for it to be what you want. Only one way in too. That's OK because I have the same problem but my land is L shaped. If you can find a piece of property that is L shaped then it opens up a world of opportunities as you are certain to have a wide section of it. You also said it is next door to a farm. They might let you hunt BUT how many people do they already let hunt? You may have some border huggers and that would suck on something that narrow. Going across property borders to track deer sucks. It starts a world of drama. That combined with how skinny it is and the uncertainty of the farm next door makes this a thumbs down for me. If you have the money to buy property then make sure you get the absolute best thing you can. Just my .02

If he hasnt stopped bleeding by now the he's not gonna. I bet he's expired. Sounds like you have a good chance of recovery. Good luck!

Holy crap, holy crap! What a beautiful perfect even buck! Way to go! I'm buyin stock in Skittles.

WOW those skittles really work

Here is the official guaranteed score --> Damn nice buck! Congrats bro

I am in the southern portion of 8N. The rails on my deck have 8-10" on them. That is more than what we were supposed to get or at least more than I thought we were supposed to get. It is heavy and wet too or there might be a lot more. Be safe out there people.

Starving people in the world..... and you want a Go Fund Me page to pay for your deer mount? LOL. Make a replica of the rack, sell it to Bass Pro, and then you should be able to get a full body mount with some left over to put in a more meaningful GoFundMe account.

Thats a helluva buck. Way to go. Congrats!

Good luck bro. That first one is a slammer.

Not a damn thing wrong with public land. Not a damn thing at all. Congrats to the hunter. What a buck!

I will say 132" inches. He's a beaut. Congrats! Nice shooting.

I am disappointed as well. Saw/had pics of some decent bucks last year. More than ever. Was expecting a damn good year and it may still be. But I am not seeing the deer I normally do. Agree about the cameras but I don't think that is the issue. Might wanna keep in mind how much snow was on the ground during gun season last year with the two previous gun seasons being very warm. Guys didn't get much those two years. They may have made up for it last year. Just sayin.

$1500.00. LMAO. In most other states it would be $25 - $50 per inch. I would say that buck is ~120" Bare minimum, it should be a $3,000.00 fine. Don't believe me? In Ohio, a guy poached a 142 and 144 (total 286). His fine was $7,100.00 and I still think that is too low. 7100 / 286 = $25 per inch. Some states are much more especially for elk out West. Plus this guy shot it where you are not allowed to hunt. That fine is a joke.

when traffic skyrockets on MHuntingNY.com Let's shoot some big ones this year boys

Personally, I don't know what you mean by "2 weeks off schedule". For brassicas, perhaps but brass will do just fine a little later. Clover? You are actually about 3 weeks early in my opinion. If brassicas were your main goal then I would still plant it. If clover or grain is your goal then I think you are still 3 weeks early. Labor day is the time for clover grain. But good damn job on the spray. If it looks like that after one week then I need to start using what you are using
