    Just stick to one gun for this year. It is an expensive sport to get into. No sense in breaking the bank the first year.
  2. mossy725
    For both guns?
  3. mossy725
    Depends on how much you want to spend. A nice economical slug gun is the Mossberg 500.

    Thanks "dad." Nope, not where this thread is going. I have been using a climber for years on state land. Might reconsider it now.
  5. mossy725
    True, true....but after 3 years???? I say it is fair game.
  6. mossy725
    Absolutely! We all tell him that every single year. I don't get it.

    Awesome stuff. Thanks. This poses a few more questions? Would the DEC consider a climber doing damage to a tree (teeth marks from the climber)? If an unmarked stand is left on state land after season, is it fair game to take? Haha

    Two contradictory statements above. One guy is saying an ENCON officer said stands must come out each day, another saying they can stay during hunting season. Hmmm...

    The rule says "no permanent tree stands..." Does this mean hand built stands, bolted to the tree? What about ladder stands that are chained to a tree? Just curious. Also, if a ladder stand is left on state land for a few years, is it fair game?

    Wow, great story!
  11. mossy725
    Some great deer, with some nice bucks. That yote picture is eeerie though!
  12. mossy725
    Yes, I realize that. Trust me, I have been that high. No reason to lie. I measured with my pull up rope. Do I typically climb that high? Nope. But I always try to get to at least 18-20 feet.
  13. mossy725
    Not true. I typically climb to 20-25 feet with my climber. Deer still look up, even 15 yards out. I personally do not think 12 feet is as effective as 18+ feet.

    I hunt with a guy who refuses to wear one because he is afraid of the restrictions it puts on him pulling back his bow. Makes. No. Sense!
  15. mossy725
    Do it quick. With bow season, deer are still patterned, and you could be successful. With gun season, all bets are off. Deer are no longer patterned and have entered into survival mode. Best of luck.

    There is absolutely no reason to not wear a harness. That's just being ignorant.
  17. mossy725
    Just a guess WNY - but are you a Syracuse fan/alumni? haha
  18. mossy725
    It's very easy to over hunt 20 acres. Be careful and selective about the wind and stand locations.
  19. mossy725
    How big is the property? You might be over hunting it.
  20. mossy725
    Sucks. I'm home sick, so I'm using this thread to get me through the day. haha
  21. mossy725
    Nope, I just watched it. It was fine. Great video - how fast was your heart beating?!
  22. mossy725
    Everyone is entitled to their opinion. They seriously screwed up my bow when I first started bow hunting.
  23. mossy725
    Rain/slush mix the entire time I was in the stand from 7 a.m. - 12 p.m. Major PITA! Called it a day, because now it's raining.
  24. mossy725
    Isn't it great? Gettin' up for work sucks - but as soon as that alarm rings for hunting, I fly out of bed. haha
  25. mossy725
    Up and at it, drinkin' some coffee to clean me out, hit the shower and then on the road to my stand. Good luck to everyone today!
