Thank you. I put out less and less the last few years (none last year) and I've seen more nice bucks that years prior when I was checking cameras every 2 weeks. I think cameras do more harm than good for the most part although trail cams are a lot of fun.

Havalon is really good.

RIP Screech, grew up on this show. That was a quick decline, I just saw the article that he was diagnosed with cancer a week ago. Damn.

I don't think it will affect nearly any aspect of my life.

I got mine 11 years ago and still haven't gotten around to buying a pistol. I should get on that.

I understand it. Last year I killed 2 bucks and went out late season to hopefully fill a doe tag. On the last day I had two doe run off the hill ride and hung out in front of me eating acorns at 10 yards. I liked watching them just continued to watch for 45 minutes and just didn't feel right shooting them. Not sure why but just wasn't in the mood.

Stopped doing scent control 2 years ago and have been just as successful and have not noticed any less sightings. I have gotten a lot better reading and paying attention to the wind. That's what I think matters.

Looks like a 150lb bear.

Anyone hunting here recently? Been here 4 or 5 times this bow season. Saw 3 doe, had a shot on 2 but they were small. Haven't seen a scrape or rub or much sign at all. Walked an hour in this morning and saw 2 small deer tracks and 5 coyote tracks. Going to give it a break and hunt another property and return in a few weeks.

Bought an '06 Switchback in 2011 and haven't looked back since!

I had an $80 food saver that lasted me about a dozen deer. Just bought a cheap $50 chinese one off amazon that seemed to handle two deer no problem.

Saw a big 8chasing a doe and doe fawn through a big open field last night driving home from work in westchester.

These are similar to the sausages I've had in Slovakia/Czech Republic. They are great. What size grinding plate do you use? I've made a similar recipe a few times but I grinded the meat way too much, the inside has a hotdog consistency.

Got 8 during bow. He came in to 12 yds on field edge to my doe decoy. Got an bigger 8 last weekend with shotgun. Came through a funnel to 15 yds following does. I was on the ground sitting on a fold up chair behind a burlap blind for both hunts.

I find the less I use them, the more deer I end up seeing and killing.
