  1. 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. Depends on how much you want to spend. A nice economical slug gun is the Mossberg 500.
  3. Thanks "dad." Nope, not where this thread is going. I have been using a climber for years on state land. Might reconsider it now.
  4. True, true....but after 3 years???? I say it is fair game.
  5. Absolutely! We all tell him that every single year. I don't get it.
  6. 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
  7. 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...
  8. 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?
  9. Some great deer, with some nice bucks. That yote picture is eeerie though!
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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!
  13. 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.
  14. There is absolutely no reason to not wear a harness. That's just being ignorant.
  15. Just a guess WNY - but are you a Syracuse fan/alumni? haha
  16. It's very easy to over hunt 20 acres. Be careful and selective about the wind and stand locations.
  17. How big is the property? You might be over hunting it.
  18. Sucks. I'm home sick, so I'm using this thread to get me through the day. haha
  19. Nope, I just watched it. It was fine. Great video - how fast was your heart beating?!
  20. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. They seriously screwed up my bow when I first started bow hunting.
  21. 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.
  22. Isn't it great? Gettin' up for work sucks - but as soon as that alarm rings for hunting, I fly out of bed. haha
  23. 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!
