Why did you kill a deer and just leave it to rot? This is the sort of thing hunters as a whole shouldn't be OK with and certainly not post it like a badge of honor for the world to see. When the world sees this sort of shit they think we all do this crap making it easier to keep chipping away at our privilag to hunt and even as fuel to take our guns.

Lets see if I can post. Last day of the regular season. Fresh snow and a lot of fresh tracks in our spot in the Dacks.

It's hard to promote hunting in NY. They make it to hard for us to buy the items needed. When you need a background check for a ML there's a problem. I was talking to an acquaintance last Summer who said he's no longer hunting in NY because of all of the latest gun laws. He's not alone, not only are hunters going elsewhere to buy ammo they are going elsewhere to hunt. Thought being they will no longer support a state that doesn't support them. Right or wrong I see the validity in those who feel that way. In my area of the lower ADK's there were a fair amount of hunters out for the regular season on public land. There's also a good population of pheasants in the area so archery season was a PITA because of the guys hunting birds emptying their shotguns at flying birds. This was the first season I can remember in my life I left the woods during a bow hunt because of not feeling safe to be out there with other hunters.

Well I'll be. I was able to reply.

Middle ADKs.

I shouldn't have to, the owner should be updating the back end so the forum works without having to jump through hoops and roll in rocks, but I tried a few browsers on my phone and it still freezes. This is just Chrome and Brave with Duck Duck Go as the engine. It locks up like that with Chrome, Firefox, Duck Duck Go and Brave. Old certificates error at times when trying on the PC. I don't have time to fight with outdated forum software.

Was out trying to fill the bear tag this past Sunday. No bears were seen but I did manage to walk about three miles in a 150 acre property due to zig zagging all over the place.

It's just on my phones, and it's now been two different phones. When I try to reply to threads it shows the "Saving" meaning posting message and never posts. I made this thread on my phone and it took like 15 tries. I was trying to make a post while hunting last Spring and it started doing it. I got frustrated and gave up. The other day I figured I'd see if things had changed since getting a new phone and provider and it was the same. It just freezes and won't let me post. It's also getting slower and slower on the PC's. It makes it hard to want to come here.

Good luck on the rafles.

Started last May trying to post I in live from the woods turkey. The forum freezes on saving and won't post.

There are some real scum bags out there. Back before we moved I had an area on public land that someone kept kicking down my brush blinds. It was only two of them that looked over a field and faced each other so I had options to play the wind. I have a good idea who it was but never had proof enough to do anything.

I was skimming through a few weeks ago and checked the members online list. There had been 16 new members in the course of that 24 hours. So someone is playing games because either those are fake accounts just to keep up with some sort of requirement for the ads, the place has been hacked, or new members can now join. I personally think it's the former because new members have been joining for a long time, even when they needed approval, so I think someone is playing games.

Just get the form for being disabled and have your doctor sign it. I hear an ingrown toenail is sufficient to get the slip to use the crossbow all during the archery season.

I'm not saying it's aliens, but........................

If I remember right, you can't buy ammo anywhere if you have a delay waiting. I know some guys still waiting since last Summer. I don't even bother because I flat out refuse to allow myself to be forced into an illegal and veiled registry.

I use the yellow Sawyers permethrin on my clothing and the blue Sawyers on my skin in warmer weather. The blue bottle/cans are picaridin and is safe for putting on the skin.

For me this place just gets slower and slower to load, and post. That and around here the stuff I do in the Summer is of no interest to anyone so why bother posting about it.

A while back I asked how there were suddenly new members. Maybe a year or a little less? I thought it odd that the only ones to approve new members are never here. The forum needs a serious update. For me, its getting slower and slower to load the place and then log in. I tried to keep up with the Live From The Woods thread for Spring turkey, but if it would let me log in from my phone it wouldn't let me post. I gave up.

I tried posting like 20 times while actually being in the woods, and it just kept freezing on the "Sending" screen. Not a peep this morning either.

At least you guys are out there. I'm not able to get back into the woods until Monday- if the weather holds.

No gobbles but a few deer passed by. First hunt of any kind since moving to the new area. Good luck too anyone else out here this morning.

Good luck to all the hunters hunting the 2024 Spring turkey season. Be safe and enjoy the time out.

I was hearing some gobbling in the woods behind the new house a few weeks back, but not a peep in a while.

The 2024 Spring Turkey Season is almost here. Post up those live from the woods pictures and reports. Maybe @fasteddie would be so kind as to pin this? Got the turkey chokes on the shotguns and plan to pattern Wednesday. Good luck out there, everyone. Be safe and shoot straight.
