Looks like wood chuck work. A 22 will solve the problem nicely.

Wow! Nice shooting and looks like ya got her dialed in real good! Love those arrows too!

I'd need 60k, for a double dose. .........grin.

At a boy Joel! Way to go buddy! Before you know it, all the big time fishing sponsors will be knocking on your door!

Can you make me look and feel 25 again?

There are as many reasons why and how we hunt as there are hunters. What works perfect for me may be a nightmare for someone else. But as long as you don't break any laws, it really is all good. I'll just go on hunting the way I do. And enjoy every minute of it. And let everyone else do the same, and hope they enjoy it half as much as I do! Venison or beef? I'll eat whatever is put in front of me, love it, rub my tummy and go take a nap.

See that wouldn't be fair to the deer if I hunted naked. Because I'd be scaring them to death!

Dog. The lower leg shape and paw size is not even close to what a big cat should be. Neck shape is different too. Besides, everyone knows, all the cougar's are in Albany County, not Rensselear County!

Naw, this aint for me. But hey, whatever floats your boat if it's legal. I have known guys that hunted for years and never killed a buck! Going to a place like this, they would finally have something to look at on their wall!....lol. They talk a good game though! And with one of these bucks, I'm sure the story would be epic!

Count me in too. Been using one for a few years and love it! So simple but effective.

I'd like to get out this weekend but if not the week after for sure! 100% catch and release for me with bass. Best of luck to anyone going this weekend!

I may be wrong but I think Mike got the boot before quitting the forum. Mike was ok, as long as you agreed with him.

Looks like an awesome trip to me! Way to go!

For some sorry a$$ thief hunter, hope that will be the only "buck" he gets this year!

The world and certainly this forum, would be pretty boring if we all thought the same. I try to respect ALL opinions. Even if I don't agree with some of them. It definitely keeps things interesting, that's for sure! As I previously stated, I'm all in for keeping the coyote numbers in check. And would even like to see, no closed season on them. But how each hunter goes about taking em out is up to them! If I could afford it, I'd go with one of those real expensive thermal imaging scopes on an AR platform. Now THAT would be cool to me.

So cool to see the youngsters doing well with something we enjoy too! She really looks like she will go far with this archery thing! Best of luck in the upcoming tourney!

How'd I miss this! Nice going Larry! I still enjoy the laid back fishing from a bank too! Moog, I've never blown a worm! That's one thing that I've never done! But the family outing at the pond sounds awesome! And everyone catching fish is really special. Good times that you will all remember.

Hunting and trapping them is fine, but blowing them up? IDK. Not for me. But dead is dead, I guess.

HaHaHa........Every now and then my Mrs. will pull something out of the hat and do that strut too. I just smile and say nice job hon.

Though not common, we have some in the Albany hilltowns. I've known a den site, since I was a boy. Also a few copperheads as well over the last 50 years. But have seen the rattlers much more.

That sucks! Not too much worse than a dirt bag, trespassing, thief! I would try the set up cams. Hope you catch the A H.

Good catch. Glad that it wasn't much worse.

For sure, that's a timber rattler! Very cool to see one in NYS.

You are so right. It takes a lot of tinkering, fixing and more than a couple dollars, to keep boats in tip top shape, so that you don't break down on the water. But the time on a boat just flies by so fast. It is a total get away for me. Even when I don't go very far. And much cheaper than a Therapist!

I can't hate coyotes for being coyotes and doing what they do. But the problem starts when there are too many of them doing what they do. I can honestly say, that since we and others in the area. Actively started hunting them and called in a trapper, to thin out the numbers. We have seen an increase in fawn survival and deer numbers on our properties, over the last few years. I'm not foolish enough to believe that we will totally rid our properties of coyotes, nor would I want to. I do have respect for them and enjoy matching wits with them after deer season. An endeavor that they usually win by the way! But left totally uncontrolled, they will nearly decimate a deer, turkey and small game population, in certain areas. I've seen it with my own eyes. I also believe there should be no closed season on them. They are far too smart to be totally eradicated, but the numbers just need to be checked to keep a balance. Just my opinion.
