True..but I think they may be ready to hand Brady his retirement papers this year if it gets that far. I really hope it doesn't because I don't watch the Super Bowl if New England is involved.

Nice looking cubbies. Hope they don't get trashed on the first catch.

I kind of have my doubts since they haven't played any serious teams yet. Only time will tell but I bet they choke when it comes to real competition. I am not a big fan but am thinking one team to watch out for this year is the La Rams...they are playing some tough football.

I have to agree with you. If you hunt in one WMU for three hrs., see two deer; then hunt a different WMU for two hrs. and see six deer they want the three hr. hunt recorded and not the two hour. It sure doesn't seem like a accurate method of tracking population trends which is what they claim the survey is for. It seems more like a survey to track how often someone hunts, how long they hunt, and where they hunt. I also keep a personal log to compare year to year.

Never forget...I know I never will:

State Land Enforcement: On Sept. 1 at 5:30 p.m., while on patrol, Forest Ranger Richard Franke heard shots coming from an area where people can legally target shoot in the Hickok Multiple Use Area. Forest Ranger Franke, along with a Sullivan County Sheriff's Deputy, and the Town of Highland Constable, conducted a compliance check on the shooters. There were 15 people shooting in the area with approximately 30 guns. During the interviews, one of the shooters, a 42-year-old man from Hawley, Penn., had a pistol without a New York permit. The man was arrested and transported to Sullivan County Sheriff's Department for processing

I try to do it home because that can be a tough area to look for ticks

My favorite and only part of summer that I like are gone. At least here the hummingbirds have left. We haven't seen one since Wed. 9/4. Just about a week early this year. It won't be long now.

Not true in my case. If I don't feel comfortable taking the shot I am not taking it no matter how big the rack is. It has cost me some nice deer but at least I could still sleep at night not worrying about a bad hit. Many times I have kicked myself for not taking the shot but would be more disappointed if I took it and it was a bad hit.

Varmints absolutely 100%. The wind while hunting fox & coyotes will be the determining factor on success or failure(providing you can shoot). For me not so much for deer but I do keep it in mind for stand selection and ground hunting.

That's the most foolish thing regarding to hunting I've ever read . You ask any good hunter and they all agree that wind is the number 1 aspect to hunting whitetail deer ,you will NEVER trick their nose I tend to agree with Buckmaster. Practice is most important for being able to make the shot when the time comes. As far as wind.. I pay attention to it but don't let it affect my hunting to much because so many times in this area the wind direction is constantly changing. The deer also change their travel routes with the wind. Hunting from a elevated stand cuts down on your chances of wind being a factor. The only time wind really effects my hunting is when it is to windy to set in a tree and I only really pay attention to the wind is when I am hunting from the ground.

I agree with Fat and all of the above but the most important or number one for me is to be certain of my shot. Not all shots are perfect and I would personally would rather let one walk than to attempt a shot I may or may not be able to make. I have let a lot of them walk even at full draw because there was a hint of doubt at the moment of truth. When I "send it" I want full confidence in the shot even though I know there is always a chance things will go bad for whatever reason.

I can vouch for that. I have been using a climber for years and last year I bought a set. These take the worry's out of a climber shifting or moving when it is in place. They also stabilize it when climbing and double as straps to secure the two half's for packing the stand out.

That could not be a fair measurement based on the fact the item you are talking about measuring is a different height off the ground based on leg length. Big difference between 6'6" and 5'

This has to worth a $100

Take Our Survey On The New Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide Each year, DEC produces the New York Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide, a summary of the laws and regulations associated with hunting and trapping. For the past several years, the guide has included additional content like articles about game management issues and photos submitted by hunters and trappers. The guide also includes advertisements, which offset a portion of the production costs. Hunters can pick up hard copies of the guide where licenses are sold, or get an electronic version on DEC's website and mobile apps. We’d like to hear how we can improve the guide for your use and enjoyment. Complete a short survey about your experience using the guide and the types of content you’d like to see. We’ll use the feedback we receive to make changes to future issues.

If you don't have someone to run with here is a good source of information and a place to reach out to other hunters: http://forums.ukcdogs.com/index.php?s=0d86402492dcd1ef89d2efef237015ad

That is a pretty good price for what you get. I paid over $300 for my Garmin Montana that doesn't do half of what the Rhino claims to be able to do.

Hell there is only a 1/2 dozen wings there

You obviously have not driven north (or south) on rt. 81 from about Central Square to Watertown in one of those lovely storms that come whipping across the Tug Hill Plateau area and dump snow deeper than the height of most four wheel drive vehicles. You haven't lived until you have experienced that; and yes comfort would be nice when stuck in a snow bank for hours on end.

The only possible suggestion I could make is ENJOY YOURSELF and keep us posted on the trip. Hope you have plans to get one out if you fill a tag or tags.

Here are some results from some of the "local" contest winners. 2019 Heaviest Coyote47.88 lbs 2007 Heaviest Coyote = 46 lbs 2008 47.8 = pounds heaviest coyote 2009 48.4 pounds = heaviest coyote 2010 50.8 pounds = Heaviest Coyote 2011 44.6 pounds = Heaviest Coyote 2012 45.6 pounds = Heaviest Coyote 2013 53.6 pounds = Heaviest Coyote 2014 48.2 pounds = Heaviest Coyote 2015 50 pounds = Heaviest Coyote 2016 49.4 pounds = Heaviest Coyote 2017 49.8 pounds = Heaviest Coyote Then you have this slob that was shot in 2008 and weighed in @ 61 LBS.
