Being my first year ever hunting turkey in the fall as a specific game, I am curious how you all prefer to hunt them. I think I will find a roost and hunt that as much as I can in the morning and evening. In between I think I will do a slow walk looking for that one turkey that likes to be a loner and try to get a shot. I highly doubt I will try that 50/50 thing called scatter and call back.

I have watched this before, still love watching it! Great vid.

I used to be a 30 minute to an hour guy. Especially on public land. I wanted to be in and set up before the other guys, hoping they would push something in my direction when they walked in at first light. Towards the end of last season my area in the NZ I was getting there a half hour before first light, putting on my gear and slowly walking to my sitting areas just about at first light. I still saw deer. Usually between 8:30 and 11 am. This year, I think I will do the same. Get to my location and get my gear set, and start heading to my sitting areas just before first light. I have known a couple of hunters that you couldn't get to sit if you tied them to a tree. Still hunters. Head in at first light and walk all day. They always killed deer.

By the time DEC is done we will have to take one of them with us hunting so: 1) They can actually see how many deer are in the woods. 2) So we can say "Hey dipstick, what's the deal here?". 3) So they see things from a hunters POV. Actually, they can film the hunt for us!!!

Hah! I guess I need new glasses. LOL at me.

Nice pic. Yep, that's up there a bit.

The title of the thread. LOL

This weekend? You sure about that?

Same here in Upstate. Kind of irritating having to watch teams that don't even play in the state. I was hoping that blackout lift would have changed that, guess not. Bills had some spark last year and got the engine running. Now it's time to put it in gear and go. Offense has the talent in WR and Backs, line might need tweaking, and the QB situation is nothing more them a mess right now. Defense is great.

Cassel is OK at best. Nothing overly impressive in him. But, he does have experience to pass along. EJ? Still looking like Fitzpatrick. Orton did a good job last year getting the Bills a winning record and just missing the playoffs. They let him go. EJ was doing w/e ever they do on IR. He's always hurt. Will be an interesting season for sure!

Thanks for all the input people. I appreciate it. I was told no. No plots.

Here's the deal, whats done is done! But here's an example of what passionate people do to get goals achieved: http://huntingny.com/forums/topic/28610-time-to-get-serious-about-doves/?hl=%2Bdove+%2Bhunting You wont get the job done arguing in here.

So, you are a hunter of all seasons? So you have appx 2 months to get that big buck.

How many people in this thread that are irritated with the changes hunt with a rifle or shotgun or ML as well as a bow?

I know the hunting season is upon us, but so is the football season. Any Bills fans with predictions? What do you think about the blackout lift?

Welcome.

Abortion would be more of a political take. Just a bit to much to keep this in general areas don't ya think?

I really have been trying to leave this alone. But....... You cannot legislate the morality or the ethics of people. They are going to do whatever they want, and it is what it is. But, the line is clear. Wrong is wrong, right is right. It doesn't matter if it's a penny or hundreds of dollars, you took advantage of someone, and in most peoples opinion, that's not very ethical. Like mentioned, any "friend" who would ask you to do this isn't a friend at all. Do WTF ever you want to do! Just remember, if the thought of it being unethical entered your mind, then it probably is.

Might give this a try. Drop a bag or two near the swamp or pond where it can get to actual soil. Thanks Biz.

Good luck in the new area grow, sounds like it's got some good hunting waiting for you.

LOL! Probably. I will get one when I get my new license in a week or two.

As far as I know you can't use them. Considered baiting.

Other threads say people are having issued getting the new paper versions. I don't have one yet.

Planting here and there means small patches maybe 20 feet or so in maybe 3 or 4 areas. It would be like the pics Biz posted. I can't make large areas. If I get permission to do this it can't be something that will 'take over' or become invasive. There is a lot of vegetation, ferns, a few grassy patches, and a lot of small shrubbery already. I got the idea to possibly plant some things in areas I sit. Just to improve the odds a bit in my favor. Too late for this year, but was looking forward to next year.

The AR is harsh. But bow hunters are up in arms about only being allowed to kill does only for the first two weeks of the seasons. Their anger is justified, I get it. You have to burn tags. I love bow hunting, but due to things, I am not bow hunting this year. But getting carried away will not be good on the big picture.
