    I can't honestly say I have ever seen one or could identify one if I fell over it. To me a grouse was always a grouse and fair game. As fast as they take off & fly how would one identify one from the other. Again according to the DEC they are only in a limited area.

    I purposely put the camera low for a reason. They were out untouched for two weeks so any scent that may have been on them was gone. The picture I didn't post (the first one) shows her at the end of the camera beam. She deliberately made a turn and headed right for the camera. As you can tell from the buck he picked up on it before he even stepped in front of it. I usually hang them higher but put it low for an experiment. I have had them walk up to cams before but never as readily as these two did.

    Good for you now read my lips: I am NOT bow hunting in the rain. If you choose to God Bless ya and have fun ....but I am not.

    I agree and also have spent a day skiing in cold temperatures but being wet does absolutely nothing for me. Some of the most miserable times hunting were coming home drying out clothes, stripping down guns to dry, clean & oil. etc. The only other thing worse than bow hunting in the rain is trapping in the rain. I will run traps in the rain & not like it but I am not getting the Mathews wet!!

    I watch the systems and fronts and try to hunt accordingly but I am not staying out getting soaked. I will wait another day. I am out there to have fun & enjoy not to battle the elements. I don't "need" to kill a deer.

    Not in my house. While I can see the interest in crossbows and how they could be fun to hunt with. I just doesn't appeal to me as much. I like matching wits with the whitetail and don't find it necessary to make the "long shot"

    No White Flash It's a STC "No Glow" Just found it odd that they both spotted it right away when it was completely camouflaged and out of sight. I did get some clear pictures but it was rainy/foggy the night they were taken No doubt I won't see him. Most of the deer that come through this area are at night. Don't get many daytime pics.

    That ain't happening either. Never shot one and have no desire to get one. I'll stick with what I have and hope for the best.

    I ain't hunting in the rain...get my Mathews wet are you kidding
  14. Steve D
    I would definitely shoot one for comparison and go from there....or go buy the bullets you want. You still have 5 weeks to find them.

    That's why I personally wish they would have left opening day on the fifteenth. Less waiting and more time for scouting. Now I have to hunt and scout

    Decided to give it a whirl this morning since it was cooler, the rain moving in, and no wind. Of course there were 6 deer in the field I had to cross. Four grazing and two bedded. Soon as I got in the stand the wind stared and got progressively worse so after 1 1/2 hr. I got down & did some scouting. Starting to see rubs. Counted 8 new ones with this one being the best. Won't be long now Just wish it would cool down a touch more.

    Yeah but it doesn't look like he is going to let the cat out of the bag......big tease Don't matter I guess: Spruce Grouse Fact Sheet Spruce Grouse Falcipennis canadensis New York Status: Endangered
  19. Steve D
    Couldn't find it on the map or Google Maps....where is "up here"?
  20. Steve D
    HOPE IT IS A GOOD ONE

    Why would a blind guy be hunting or worried about cammo....JUST KIDDING . The weather has me bored!
  22. Steve D
    Precisely why I PRACTICE at different yardages If you are sighted in for 20 yards you still need to know how to shoot at 22, 12, or whatever yards. Can't have a pin for every distance.
  23. Steve D
    Good Idea...I have been looking for a used cheap one just for that purpose but most of the used ones are pretty funky. I have been using the speed dip. I was real leery about it at first but have had no problems and it is quick & easy.

    Could be considered a ghetto synonym...sounds the same

    Might want to change the batteries..Just in case. Similar to carry a empty gun.
