    2021 HuntingNY Bow Harvest Thread

    in Bow Hunting

    Posted

    Low for the year temp wise was uneventful for the early morning. All day sit was mandatory for where I was and the wind got better as the morning progressed. I get ansy after about 3 hours which is customary but I settled in and was good. At 12:45 this guy made his way up the small ridge at 30, but began to work away. I have no idea why (no scent or calls used) he turns and walk dead at me. He gets to 15 and shakes, wind is perfect. I draw on the shake and he comes two more steps and quarters too. I hate this shot, both too steep and quartering too. I held steady and was comfortable and let it go. 
    waited til 4, tracked till dark. Had blood all the way. Was a liver. Bumped him last night, but Winston made it happen!!! Can’t thank D&W enough. Awesome guy and I know he went through some shit and never said a word. Made my year and season.

    Not live Per se but shortly after my last text on here yesterday, I got one. Needless to say I let it lay and began the track at 4. Bumped it and stopped the track at dark. Called a dog which came this morning and we had success. Awesome guy and awesome dog. Tired as hell , story and pics later. My PB is down and at the butcher. Congrats to those that scored as well.

    Creaky Stand Fix

    in General Hunting

    Posted

    I have an old API hang-on that has started to creak when putting the seat up or down. Was thinking of using a cooking oil spray? Obviously worried about scent and changing the hardware is not happening this year. Curious as to what fixes you guys have used when your stands make unwanted noise.  Thanks !

    This particular model (Marlin 336) was not designed with a cross bolt safety and the earlier ones don’t have it.  They were not slapped on until too many lawyers got involved in the early eighties. The “safe” position was always with the hammer at the half cock position.  The new ones work the same way if you leave the safety off.  

    That said, I still use it when walking, loading or unloading but not while seated or in a stand. Split seconds matter at times.  Have you ever hunted with a lever action gun or a muzzleloader ?  

    I do the same Wolc.

    Investment year in review.

    it's crazy how much it's jumping. $1 to $18 back to $10. I think I'm gonna hold through the weekend and see what happens. I know too many people who sold DWAC yesterday too soon.

    Yeah this thing is moving like crazy!

    Same, DWAC took a little hit yesterday and then sky rocketed. I will let it roll for a short time. DWAC Coming back to earth now though.

    I think I was a senior in High School when this one was on the hoof. Everyone in the area was hunting him, and I was fortunate enough to see him from the road a couple of times in a bean field next to where I hunted. A local guy (who has since passed on) took him during first shotgun season that year. He was featured in the old “Rack Magazine” under the title “The Bone Gap Monster”. I wish I could find a back issue of that. He was quite a deer.

    I’m a tweener and I respect those shotgun guys a ton.

    Won’t stop morons in NY from filling every last tag they have.
    I swear we have hunters that would shoot the last deer in the forest if they had tag for it.

    Truth. I bowhunt 4j, we all know what that is. Hi density area. I’ve had this opportunity since 2019. I shot a doe with my daughter and would again but, my sightings have been way down this year which is why I asked initially. 
    If it remains scarce, I will definitely err on the side of caution. Unfortunately I can’t smell Bc of allergies so there’s that.
