From my own observations, the rut falls about the same time in November every year, and has nothing to do with the moon, as far as timing goes. I call November 10th the magic day, and five days on either side of that are prime too. Yes, there will be some rutting activity before and after those dates. But during the time between Nov 5th and 15th, is when the majority of doe's will come into estrous. I believe the amount of daylight triggers the rut each year. And of course weather, hunting pressure, buck\doe ratios, and many other factors, may vary the rut activity we see. But the rut is still going to happen at the same time, year after year.

I have bins full of assorted camo, going back as far as Treebark. I usually mix and match to blend in where I'm hunting, mostly from the ground. And depending on time of year. Love snow camo when snow is on the ground!

Common harmless garter snake. I see no reason to kill any snake. Though sometimes I do when I don't see them while mowing. They don't really bother me. But my wife will jump three feet high and scream like a banchee when she sees one......lol

An all around, wonderful, do anything shotgun, that will delight most any sportsman. Good luck with sale.

Awesome!! Love the smile on that kid! Great job on the mount!!

How could anyone even think about doing something like that??? Absolutely should have gotten a stiffer penalty, than what was handed down.

Again, this all falls on the managers shoulders to fix. If not fixed, the organization needs to find someone who can, and will fix all those fundamental problems. Making excuses, and pandering to professional players, being payed, very well to do their jobs, doesn't cut it. Especially when the organization has provided the best talent money can buy! Boone needs to go!

No, the Yankee's biggest problem is not talent. They have an abundance of that! The problem the Yankee's have is there is no spark or continuity in the clubhouse, or on the field. It is the manager's job to prepare, evaluate, and make the best decisions for his team to win. Boone has done nothing but make excuses, and pander to his players. What that team needs is a swift kick in the butt!!! Boone needs to go!

Happy Birthday Sir!!!

I agree with you. I'm from the school of wait for the one perfect shot, if you don't get it, don't take it. Not sure this crossbow would be legal in NYS?

Momma gonna knock you out!!!.......................

Awesome! Can't wait to see it all finished off with mounts and everything!

After reading this article, I have an axe to grind.........

"Now son, always trust your nose, and His eyesight, it will give you the edge!!! Great picture!!!

I look forward to seeing him in pinstripes. He grew up a huge Yankee, and Derek Jeter fan. The right field porch in Yankee stadium, will be a target for his much needed lefty bat. A good trade in my opinion.

Still a bit early for hard antler at the end of July. But hey, anything's possible?? With all that has been going on in my life this year, I too am not really feeling the hunting bug yet. Also thinking of starting later this year. Waiting until mid to late October. Want to start trapping early this year, and honestly the early season is pretty slow around the farm the last few years. When I do go, it will be more for scouting than hunting. And from a distance, to not burn up our good spots until the big boys get on their feet more. But we will see...... going to put some cams out soon.

Happy Birthday dbHunterNY!!! Happy Birthday Salmon_Run!!! Hope you guys have all the good stuff today!!!

Opening of The Academy shows that hunting will be here soon! Great bunch out there in WNY. Didn't any of you tell the new guy, "you don't release, the release"???

Buyers beware!!! Scam alert!

Joined three hours ago. Made three posts, in three seperate threads trying to sell Reveal cams. Buyers Beware! Buy from an established member like phade.

Hate to be that way, but you are absolutely right! Everyone should be aware of scammers that have come to this forum.

Slick Trick Standard, and Muzzy MX4 are very, very similar in design. Muzzys cost less, and fly very well for me. And I assume the Slick Trick heads would perform very good too.

I don't have a Vortex yet..... I recently mounted one for a young man, and was pretty dang impressed with it.

Got a buddy from Summit, on Hicks Rd. Nice area up there! Some nice bucks running the ridges in those parts! Congrats on the new place, and wishing you well during deer season! You are just a short drive out I-88 from me!

I too say same buck, just a year older. Nice buck! Try to see to it he has no more birthdays Rob!!
