I just called mine in today I shot him Monday what happened I took him home and butchered him but the tag had blood on it and I couldn't read 2 numbers and I left my tags with my back tag upstate so when I went back to hunt I forgot to take the with me[duh!!!] so I didn't know what take I had 60.62 59 so when I got back last nite i tried to call it in well their automated system sucks and it directed me to a rep but the office was closed and I did it today. You know im watching waaayy too much north woods law im so paranoid that I write the wrong thing and have a c/o knocking on my door . But to my surprise the lady was really nice and guided me trough it. I really don't see a problem , I thought she was going to give me a hard time as to why I waited so long but I told her the story and she was very understanding I think the most important thing is that at lest you reported it

thank you

I say dump em .I was going to be a smart ass and say well shoot one and find out but that would not be wise

thank tyou I hope so i'll try and keep an eye on him see Saturday nite it went to 25 degs and he froze a bit so I was worried about the thawing and it got warm [my luck]

oh yeah sorry he asked my to cut it up and just give him some grind and give some meat to the other guys [like my friend who fractured his foot sunday after open day that's what we try to do share

hey guys I need some help and need some input .I shot my deer last Monday and he's in my freezer and my friend john shot a nice buck [a 6 pt] Saturday well it was cold up state sat. nite and alittle warmer sunday so I packed him in the car w/ me it was 43 degs coming back to the city and I hung him planing to cut him up today it was warm 50 degs I packed him w/ ice last nite and again this afternoon about 1 pm .Well my question is can I cut him up tomarrow its raining like hell in queens I still have him hung and ice in his cavity and I hope he'll be ok but I need some opinions from you guys

well from what I see in the field is that there are some HUGE spikes that I see bigger than the ones w/ beautiful racks.BOW hunting was so frustrating I seen a doe right under my stand[ yeah I got busted] and she looks @ me and takes off a big spike stops 20 yds and I cant shoot him another buck behind him and he had a rack but little nubs for tines so hes technically a spike. And that said I see the spikes are the ones doing the breeding NOT the big raked buck please understand this is my observations I have spent almost a month and a 1/2 in the field [im @ my job for 35 yrs and get 6 weeks vacation] and this is what I seen. I say yes pass the little guys but not the big guys . I do it with the does I constantly pass on yearling does and I always see the bigger ones

happy thanksgiving to everyone savor the time w/ family

hey any of you guys having a problem writing on the tags the dec issue. I shot my deer and went to write on the tag and the ball point pen wouldn't write it seems they put a gloss on the tags [I always carry 3 pens and make sure they all write , I hunted long island and the old coops and Cos are always looking for excuse too write a ticket] I shot him @ 4: 10 and I didn't have my reading glasses and wrote it out by memory but I wrote w/ one pen and then another and another I wrote it out and tagged him but when I got back to the house [and I had my reading glasses] I rewrote it AND still had a hard time. My friend sat. fractured him foot he fell off his atv going up the road [it was all mud under the snow but thank god he's ok and man he's my idol HE still went hunting] SO he went home the pain was really intense he went home and has to wear the boot for a month and he said listen come and get the land owner dmp tag i'll sign it over to you and again the tags would not write on the pens worked on paper fine but not on the tags. I remember a few years ago they had a problem w/ a printer in Illinois I was wondering if anybody had any problems this year.

yeah man the tower stuffers the way to go ,the grinder attachment on the grinder goes too fast and I keep bursting the skin. Hard to control working by yourself. Lem or cabelas has them

the rule is the last guy who shoots it AND hits it AND it goes down owns it. Like fishing the deepest hook get the fish.I seen guys fight over deer once a kid was standing over a deer and some guy walks up and says oh that's my deer well the kid was by himself and the guy was with his friends and wouldn't argue with the guy.

you don't have to get a high end bow a pse or bear , even parkers are all good . I would suggest going to a pro shop ,I never buy things like clothes or bows or guns online those things I like to feel and see even arrows I have made by my pro shop [proline in ozone park queens] ,See those things I need to be fitted for, but . scopes and electronics and scents things like that ,I buy online cause I look @ the reviews and the questions that people ask about the product so I can get an honest opinion if the thing is worth it to buy.

my dad had another one called maverick made in Poland believe it or not its small but man it grinds like crazy. The throat is alittle smaller than my other one so I just cut the meat in strips it feed much better than chunks.

yes that was it ,see my friend owns the house and he was hunting in alberta ,so I couldn't talk to him but after he got back he told me to drain the tank a little and theres a bleeder valve on the side of the control box like one on the brakes on a car [duh!!! I seen that] and to drain that. Oh yeah the hotwater heater he told me the elements went bad so im going up Thursday to take care of everything thank you so much . it was crazy it all went @ once and with the boiler we had an incredible amount of rain so water might have gotten in the tank alittle.

you don't need a large one I had a good one from northern industries my dad gave me and the bearings burnt out[ I make a lot of sausages] .It was like 5-6 lbs a minute but it was great for grinding but not for stuffing sausage the skin kept bursting it was just too fast to stuff with. I bought a crank tower sausage stuffer and it worked out better.cabelas has a good one for $80 and a little bigger one for $129. You can look @ lem and the sausage maker sites

hey guys I was up hunting and well when it rains it pour first the hot water heater stopped working then last nite the oil burner went out about 9:30. I just got up there and dealt with it as best I could. It was cold this morning 25 outside and 50 inside but I was going hunting and deal with it when it warmed up a little .I checked the tank and it has oil and what was happening the indicter lite was on so I held the reset button for a minute and the pump would go on and then trip again the boiler was not igniting and the reset button on the control box kept tripping .Im gas man and as you see know nothing of oil burner so if anybody could help I would appreciate it

I have a simmons too I love it but cabelas has the pursuit archers angle laser rangefinder for $99 you cant get better than that .

last Monday I was out in this mist then rain up where I hunt and my range finder was useless so was my binos I couldn't see anything except with the naked eye . I was sitting there and to my left I see two deer come in the field [forget about ranging so I could take a shot all my rangefinder said was 12 yds] one was so dark almost chocolate color well they played for a little bit then the smaller one the doe I would soon find out lays under a pinetree and man it started to rain[again and again] well the other deer [the buck]comes out and goes in the high grass in the middle of the field[ its been so wet up there they couldn't brushhog the fields only around the edges] it was funny watching him scratch himself w/ his hind leg. Well I watched well over an hour he got up and went in the woods and then she got up and took a piss and went in the woods too this was all about 80 yds away . Bowhunting can be frustrating sometimes but anyway you don't need a rangefinder with all the bells and whistles and it helps to teach yourself to judge yardages with out a range finder, well within 40 yds atlest

o0h and thank you for the respondes

yeah but does anybody remember the old post about this I seen it before and cant find it.

hey guys , I seen somewhere on here about getting a second back tag .See there was this old gizzer who seen me with my back pack on and with my back tag on it and he sssaaayyss you know your suppose to have your back tag on @ all times and I said I do [I lied] I said I take it off and put it on my back when im in the stand. So I went to the range today and asked the guy about getting a duplicate and he says you cant only a replacement if you lost it .So please may be some of you guys seen that post or know if I can get a duplicate.

get the fresh earth dyer sheets and then put your clothes in a plastic bag with a few scent wafers in it and you'll be good to go

thank you guys, I just bought the hha optimum lite and I love it much better than the 4 pin sight. Im dead on @ 20 yrds [ the proshop I bought it from is an indoor range 20 yds] and im going to get dialed in @ 40 before I go up Monday so I got some time to play w/ it.It was $120 they had the other one which was over $200 and complicated as hell and I really don't need to shoot @ 60 yrds anyway and I don't need all the bells and whistles. one thing about the site I changed was that the pins on my bear seemed so close to gether ,my pse I have 3 pins and I can actually bracketed the 20 and 30 yd pins for 25 yds and the 30 and 40 yd pins for 35 but I really couldn't do it w/ the bear 4 pin sight

looks like queens where I live when we put out the garbage cans

h guys, well i'm considering getting a single pin sight for my bow the 4 pin set up is a little confusing @ 58 soi looked @ hha lite and another hha optimizer [ but I talked to a guy down @ Floyd Bennett field who had one and was having a hell of a time setting the thing @ 20 yds and 60 yds so he could be dialed in. he lost quite a few arrows trying the 60 yd]. I don't like the truglo but I might get it if it has good reviews and of course what you guys say too. I know its alittle late to switch but heres the story well I posted about getting busted by a 6 pt and then seeing him again @ 40 or so yds and let him walk well I seen him again and I took a shot I knew he was @ 35 yds from the stand to the ground see the field was brushed hogged around the perimeter and he walk the edge of the of it [but it was funny I ranged from the ground to the stand which is @ 18' and it was 37 yds so any way I put the 30 yd pin on him and I seen the arrow go right under him and hit the ground. So im thinking of switching maybe I could just dial it in.
