Very well put. Really puts things in perspective. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely. An empty day in the woods is better than a good day at work. Much exercise and fresh air!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As I recall you can have temporary stands and leave up during that season. Must have name address and phone number attached. I am looking for documentation Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok first year of muzzleloader season for me very excited must say. This first day and was 65 degrees was a little warm but still enjoyed. Just a chance to get more time in woods Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Heal quickly my friend and if you had to sacrifice any season i think you picked the right one. Opening day of muzzleloader and its 65 out. Debating of scrapping rest of day and get motorcycle out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well put!! I do enjoy taking a deer but I will admit I get much satisfaction out of just being in the woods. And when my son can go with me it's even better Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have winterized motorcycles 3 times already and by the looks of the weather for the weekend, may be a fourth. Wife is itching to go out again. So appears the weekend will be on bike rather than in deer stand. Can never complain being able to ride in December!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No my lovely iPhone. I am not one to prof read what I have written and grown to really hate auto correct but trying to force myself lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow I really need to start proof reading my posts a little better or lay off the fire water. But you certainly make a good point. Enjoy and have a good season Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally got around to shooting the used Thompson black powder fun I bought used a couple years ago. No kicking muscled for not doing so earlier. This thing is awesome I can't wait to get out there!! This thing is surgical at 100 yards!! Let's hope/pray for better luck next week. Who else is hitting it with their muzzle loader next week Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That really stinks I can only imagine what it's like. Knowing your family is safe and loosing so much. I've been in fire department for years and seem so many people loose so much. Prayers to u and fam !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have to to concur the dec regs are so confusing it's difficult for many people to understand Why does it have to be so complicated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My son saw a 10pt running across main drag in Geneseo just two days ago. At this point I said run him down with car hhaha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am seeing most movement after legal shooting time very close but still after. By sounds many don't care about sunset. Majority of my evening hunts seeing 5-10 doe crossing roads, feeding in fields multiple spots on way home. So I know they are there just gotta time it right. Muzzle loader week here we come Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How about from my pickup window while headed home from hunt?? I have seen more deer running across road while I'm leaving my spot than I've seen on the woods. I think I'm gonna start carrying a big spot light in truck and leave gun loaded window ledge would make a great gun rest. Lol. For those who can't tell that was sarcasm [emoji12][emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very diff to tell externally once skinned look for excessive scar tissue if not much then most likely born with. If a traumatic wound remaining bone would most likely be jagged from birth prob rounded. Now I'm speaking from a human standpoint big medical back ground not a vet but basics are similar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gotta say u hit the nail on the head. From someone who hasn't bagged one in longer than I care to admit. I find the most joy in just being outside away from it all. Coming home empty is still better than a good day at work and I love my job....... Well most days lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This sounds like my story exactly. As a kid shot many deer have spent countless hours with father who is an avid hunter of 50+!years also some well know whitetail experts in NYS I will admit I am not by any means an expert hunter obviously but also not something I just started. just seems I am not in the right place at right time. Oh well I will continue to keep scouting l, sitting, being outdoors and most of all spending time with kid so will most deff enjoy Good luck two track Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same to you Opening day really burned me plenty of deer running around I posted land for neighbor farmer and he assured me I would be only one in certain area only to find a multitude of other running around along with a 4x4 right by my stand. Not making excuses just frustrating lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's been my exact thought lately been spending much more time in stand this year Not a big fan of the latest gadgets normally but our area just approved use of rifles but not bringing home the deer have a hard time justifying the purchase. Got a good hard 5-6 days left this season and believe me not fussy lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In stand scouted a lot put stands near high traffic areas list seems they always move take diff spot. Father put me in stand on another busy trail and two just yesterday passed just over ridge (not on trail) where I couldn't get a shot. If this season comes up empty think I'm gonna invest in a couple trial cams instead of rifle Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I hate to admit how many years it's been since I came home with one of those brown 4 legged animals. I am not looking for the big one would gladly just get the average doe. I spend countless hours in woods, tried the scent stuff, scout ect. I see plenty of deer just not a shot. I see plenty during bow just not a shot then see plenty during gun just not a shot. Really want to buy a new rifle but guessing why and how do I convince the wife lol. It's sure a good thing I enjoy being out doors so much or may just get discouraged I hunt to be outside spend time with kid first then deer second !! Well two weeks left gonna burn up all vaca and sick time if I have to Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We have deer check stations they would do that on site. Simply open mouth and calculate age by teeth. Pretty simple equation for those that know Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
