    Welcome! Nice to have you join us! Your Dad, no doubt will be close by while you are out hunting. Wearing that big smile that you know so well.

    My grandson just got one in the mail on Friday. This is his first year as a regular hunter, (no longer a Jr hunter) as he's only 16. So I assume that they just draw randomly, to do the survey. I have never had one sent to me.

    It's not spread from deer to deer. Infection is from a midge bite.

    Good luck! Hope you get a Thumbs Up from the doc!!! (pun intended) I've been through a few of these. No big deal really. MUCH better than what could happen if someone refuses to have it done, for silly reasons. Do it for yourself. Do it for your family.

    Welcome!!! Good to have you join us! There are many here, that will be happy to help with any questions you may have. I'm from the Capital District area, so no help for LI hunting. But if you ever get up my way, give me a shout!

    I get it. At 63 years old, by the time the season is over now, I've about had enough. Of the early morning alarms, cold sits, and less deer sightings. But I just can't stop, until the law says it's time to, if I still have a tag! A couple years ago, I hobbled out shortly after bladder surgery! I just couldn't NOT go!!! If this passes, I will probably hunt a day or two, if I still have tags left? But this older version of myself may protest a little.

    Thank you for the pictures and information. This is a hard pill to swallow for us hunters. The deer population will be effected for quite some time in this area. EHD could conceivably show up anywhere in NYS. That is most concerning. As there is nothing that can be done.

    Lost my grandmother on that day, through natural causes. Sad day for America. I still have a bitterness from that day. And remember it like yesterday. Never Forget..............

    Tines chewed too.

    Absolutely beautiful taxi work and mount!!!

    String on nose tip. Thumb tip from release hand on jaw below ear. That is what works for me. But I can see where this could be a help with someone changing anchor point.

    You can legally go after them on October 1st.

    About 15 years ago, we had an outbreak of EHD down off the hill from us in Voorheesville. Killed quite a few deer as I remember. I never saw any dead deer on our property. But for a few years after, we had noticeably less deer around.

    Theft...

    So sorry to hear stuff like this! I hope the scumbags are caught and their balls rot off in prison!!!

    This is exactly how I feel too. Thank You!

    I admit that Trump is an egotistical blowhard. But given the choices this election, there is no question who will get my vote. Trump. Do you really think that voting for the socialist left is better for guys like us? If so, how?

    Beautiful work for a nice relax spot. With the property to match!
  21. grampy
    If I ever need to sight in another 12g, I'll be sure to give you a call!!!
  22. grampy
    No problem. The only one you need to please is you! If it will make you happy to go from auto to pump, and you can do it, Go For It! I also have an older 35yo or so, Savage 12g smoothbore pump that has a short barrel. Flip up rear sight. I used it for home defence. And its' killed a few deer too. Might be able to make up some kind of trade for the auto?
  23. grampy
    I see your point. But, the only hitch is that you will likely just get a low ball offer for your auto loader on a trade in? Kinda defeats the purpose with low funds. And believe me, I understand low funds!!! If you have your heart set on using a good quality pump for deer this season, I have one you can borrow. An Ithaca Deerslayer 2, with a 1x4 Leupold, that has put down a pile of deer in the past. Will hit where you aim out to 100 yards. I even have ammo for it, that it loves! And she is a real looker too, with beautifully grained walnut.

    Nice pictures, plot, and bucks Brad.

    Or the 270 Win. Bang - Flop. But the 7mm-08 may just be the perfect whitetail round. 30-06 or 308??? Flip a coin.
