You walked away. Glad it was just a few bumps and bruises. So much can go wrong on anything on a given day.

I thought that as well. School, and driving after 9 at 16? Still feel Deer Search could have been called. With everyone using cell phones in the field, the owner could have been called. But, it's over now. Sorry you lost that deer, and hope you learned something. Better luck on the next hunt.

Welcome. There's Parcel 45 in Saratoga county. Pretty small though. Not wanting to pass Lake George isn't too far up. There's a few state forests in your area, and it depends if you are willing to travel a little west. If so there's Pecks Lake, about 45 minutes from Ballston Spa outside of Gloversville. Just be careful, try and get the National Guard training schedule. The last think you want is to be sitting in there and have them open up with an exercise. LOL Here's a link to a list of the state forests, this way you can look at the list and decide how far you want to travel. http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/34531.html Again, welcome and good luck.

He would have to apply for a disabled permit. I am not sure of the criteria for back injuries, or if that would work, but I would suggest that. http://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/30419.html

I have to agree about the garage. Most garages ( even though we are used to the smells and don't notice anymore ) at minimum will smell like gas and oil.

Didn't some zombie flick start off that way?

Can't say I hate coyote's. Not their biggest fan either. They took out two fawns two summers ago on my buddies parents land while he and I were camping. Was pretty unnerving as the only weapons we had were air rifles for plinking cans, our pocket knives and a machete. Last summer we heard a small pack about 100 yds away from our tent camp. First night we heard 'em around 8 PM. 2nd night it was about 1 AM. I know they don't kill or attack humans as a rule of nature, but nature seems to be changing.

Papist? May I ask you a question? Why would anyone take you serious when your avatar is the logo for Jagermeister. Just sayin'. Edit, sorry forgot to add:

This is kind of a bogus question. You have to fit the bow, the arrow, and the broadhead to what's best for you. Not everyone can shoot the same thing, Sometimes, you have to alter things for the best result. But........ Wasp Hammers. Clean, shoot well with most arrows and cut true.

Congrats! Opening day NZ you got one! Thought the NZ followed the three inch rule. Ah, who knows. Again, congrats.

At least you have meat in the freezer. You get the shot with a bow or a firearm?

No hunting for me today. Surprise party for my g/f's mom. She just turned 60 years young. So it was up at 7, make two big crackpots of sausage, peppers, and onions, and make about 200 pigs in a blanket. I thought about taking my bow, but I do not have permission to hunt anywhere in the area. Her parents had deer bedding on the side lot most of the summer. But, the landlady is a real...."Individual". There are power lines, but all posted and on private land. So, I left the gear home. Round 5:30 PM, I go for a smoke, low and behold, I see three does and a pretty nice 4 pt on a lot behind the house. G/f's dad is going to call the owners of that land and tell them I would like permission to hunt it and give them my phone number. I guess that's just the way it goes.

I think there are many female members here. I just don't think they post much. Welcome.

Nice buck. Congrats.

Funny.

Never killed a bear, only hunted them once. I have eaten the meat twice, once was really good, and the other was really bad and super tough. I say go for it. The only way to really know if you like something is to try it.

Um, no. Sorry. Not sure your wifey would like that too much. LOL More renders? Thank you. And thank you for not wearing that outfit and posting a pic..

I am not sure they make a PSE prop for Poser. Most of the content for the software is gamer type stuff or naughty stuff.

When I used to hunt the Charleston State Forest, the Hughes Road area was full of this stuff. Let it be! You have no legal right to remove this tape. I get the point, and I hate seeing it too. But, out of respect to other hunters, I would have never removed it.

So, punctuality is a crime? Grammer? LOL All good from my house. I am learning fast around here, an opinion is worth nothing but an argument. Ah, hunting on the East Coast! Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

I don't think I am superior to anyone! I have never hunted a farm! Never will! I don't have all the facts! That's why I asked! There was no need to insult me dude!

OK. I have to ask.......I know I will regret it, but, I have to. Didn't this start outside the fence? So why put the hammer on farms? Why blame it all on them?

Just get right and heal. That kind of hernia can be bad.... You might loose a little of this season, but, you will be all healed up for next year and ready to go. Best of luck on everything. Ya still have some time, so nail one for the freezer.

Digital 3D Art. Been doing this for almost 8 years now. I still love making a render when I am in down mode. My artist name is Cyanide and my work is CR to me. Hence the logo.

Really? You get what you pay for. I keep reading that in this thread, so, I am going to make a comparison, and not about bows. So, you think that Cadillac Escalade is really going to get you through the tough spots a Jeep with a suspension pack will? Don't think so!
