I will almost guarantee it! Get out there and get him this fall!

7mm-08.......all day with 120gr. NBTs! Light recoil and lights out, DRT results. Your daughter will never need another deer rifle using this cartridge.
-
It very likely is the same buck! The tine length and overall size is VERY similar. I almost fell out of the stand, when I saw him coming down the side hill!!! Saw five different bucks that day! What a magical spot.

Fantastic work as always Jason!!! You are the best! Those two bucks are absolute studs!! The "Pack Mount" is just too cool!! The BIG 9pt is a true monarch of the deer woods! Congratulations Brian, on a great season!!! And best of luck for another great season this fall! Make some more room on the wall!

Happy Birthday buddy!!! All the best to ya!!

Update....... Final walk through tonight. Closing on Tuesday!! Now the real work begins!

Way to go Tacks!!! I assume this bow will be your main squeeze this fall?

Just a reminder to all you younger bow hunters, you won't be young forever. And there will come a time for most of you, when drawing your bow will become difficult. But your drive to be out in the deer woods, will still be as strong as ever! That, is when you will want to hunt with a crossbow. Believe me. There is no reason why the law couldn't have been changed, to at least allow those 55 and older to hunt the entire bow season, with a crossbow. Most of us have hunted for decades with our bows, and still want to participate. Hunting with a crossbow, is far better than sitting at home, wishing you could be out there. I feel that those who totally oppose crossbows, have thrown out with the wash, the ones who helped to mentor you. Just sayin....... We're older yes, but we ain't dead! And nothing makes feel more alive, than being in the early season deer woods!

I've got some family in the Malone area, which is just a little SE of Regis. Those guys do pretty good up there on mature bucks. Anytime I have hunted with them up there, I usually see nothing!!! Been a few years since I've been up there. Perhaps this year I'll take the yearly invite and try again? More so to hang out with my cousins, than to kill a deer.

YouTube is definitely better than TV programming! I watched Jeremiah Johnson again, over the weekend!
-
As TV gets worse, I just watch less. Outside of Yankee games, I don't even turn it on anymore. And the way the Yankees are playing lately, may as well just skip the tube entirely.

For the vermin, just shoot, shovel, and shut up.

Happy Birthday! Wishing you all the best on your special day!
-
Sounds like you have a good set up and spot in there Tyler. Persistence will pay off for you. First couple weeks of November are crazy in the PB. For big bucks.....and people. Seeing a 150 class buck cruising is not out of the question during this time. They're in there! Wishing you the best of luck this fall. PM me if I can ever help you, I will.

There is still some giant bucks in the Pine Bush. The true secret is.... ACCESS and ADAPTABILITY. Think small...... I was fortunate to land a prime private hunting area in the far western part of the PB last year. I hunted it sparingly. But blew a chance at what would have been my biggest bow buck by far. When he held up on the other side of a tree at 15 yards. And I could no longer hold full draw. He caught the movement when I let down and was gone. I'll be back for redemption this year.

So......the other 90% are all innocent and committed no crime? My wife and I have not gotten the vaccination yet. We may, or may not? Whatever we choose to do, will be our own choice, for our own reasons. Not a choice made, or influenced by chatter on a hunting forum.

Stratos makes a great bass boat! See lots if em at tourneys. Great looking boat for sure! Have fun and wish youtight lines! You looking to fish some club tournaments?

Sub Freezing Temps & Snow=Mast Production/Fruit Trees
grampy replied to Lawdwaz's topic in General Chit Chat
If possible, throw a tarp or some plastic sheeting over them for a couple days till the weather warms again. The trees themselves will be fine. Not going to get that cold. But any potential fruit may be nixed this year, if the trees are starting to blossom? -
This is exactly what I wanted to say, but couldn't find the words.

I am not much of a fly rod fisherman, I'm still learning. But I have an Orvis 5wt, 8 and a 1/2ft 4 piece rod, that is so easy to cast, mend, and flip on small streams. And so easy to carry when broken down into it's case. We were at Orvis in Manchester Vt. and the pro there told me that this set up will be perfect for the small to medium streams I fish. And that it will be a great set up to learn on. He was spot on. Those guys out there are world class.
-
As long as my shoulders cooperate, even during crossbow season I still mostly carry my bow. Or switch back and forth. Like bow in the morning, crossbow in the afternoon. My bow has been my love and passion for 40 years. Even more than a firearm. But the crossbow is pretty fun too!

Right on! Keep the faith man!! To each their own!

I was once a long time member of NYBH. Not any more, for obvious reasons.

Sub Freezing Temps & Snow=Mast Production/Fruit Trees
grampy replied to Lawdwaz's topic in General Chit Chat
Four or five years ago, our area of 4H was hit with a late spring cold snap, and some snow. That fall local apples were down by at least half. Both wild and farm grown. Also, acorns were very scarce that year as well. But it actually made hunting "easier"? As the deer had fewer options, and keyed on the trees that did produce. Once you found the area where those trees were, there was more deer than normal.
