    I am in the same boat. Want to open a used hunting stuff store??? We might be able to give Dick's and Field & Stream a run for their money.

    38 degrees, rain, breezy, and foggy here. May have to watch some football, hit Dick's, and Field & Stream. Controversial enough??

    He probably farted and rolled over in his buck bed.

    All you really need to do is post it on the forum when you plan to go and a return date. If you don't log in within 24 hrs. of the said return date someone will notice and call the rangers

    I can't really think of a better place to croak.

    If you are really worried and want to be in contact these are available. We also have a friend that is a Dr. and when she is on call and is up there she rents a satellite phone. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/spot-x-2-way-satellite-messenger-personal-tracker?hvarAID=shopping_googleproductextensions&affcode_c=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr6zCrOin3gIVAl8NCh2ePQrgEAQYBCABEgIK6_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

    Take it up with Cuomo...I am sure he will make you an empty promise to get your vote.

    As time goes on you will begin to realize that bow isn't like gun and you don't have to be in the woods all the time in order to score. You can me more selective and choose when and where the best times to hunt. Make every experience a learning one and you will begin to anticipate the excitement of knowing you are right or were wrong grasshopper.

    I just try to skirt around them with a watchful eye to see if they see me. If I know they see me I let them know I see them with a simple wave and keep moving. You would be amazed how many times you can walk by unnoticed. It never fails to amaze me how many don't have a clue.

    Not true but that is a different discussion. I prefer to leave myself a reasonable amount of time to track a deer I have hit. With a good hit most times that won't be to far. If I am not sure I have a good shot I am not going to take it and don't care how big of a buck it is. If I should happen to make a bad shot I am prepared to track in the dark and have had to on occasion. All I am saying is I don't need to hunt up to the last legal minute especially during bow. To each their own but whether I harvest a deer is not as important to me as how I make that harvest.

    This my favorite time of the year and I really enjoy archery season. It is nice to be able to experience the transition between fall & winter. This year there doesn't seem to be a transition and most leaves are still green here, while a number of trees are bare. I have yet to experience the sound of a deer walking across dry leaves on a sunny, cold, frosty morning. This has been a weird fall so far just like the summer and if anything it is going to bum me out it is the weather. Unfortunately we can't do anything about that and have to try to male the best of what we get. Hopefully it will turn around soon.

    The point I was trying to make was why make a late shot and risk having to track in the dark. If I have to track in the dark I will just break out the thermal vison and not waste time with a lantern, wife, or "blood" light. My choice is to not make a shot where I don't have a good chance of recovery the same day. I made that mistake about 5 years ago and coyotes made me pay for it. The next morning it was half gone. If I have to sacrifice a 1/2 of hunting light so be it.

    Sorry...in the book it will be listed as "raccoon". Didn't mean to hurt your feelings

    Did a sit this morning for three hrs. and didn't see squat. Plenty of sign so I am going back this afternoon. My Views this morning:

    That is plainly a coon. These are readily available and reasonably priced:

    If you blow it up you can plainly see it is a dog

    The wind finally died down so I did a afternoon sit. Felt more like gun season than bow but a nice day to be out. Saw 4 doe, 5 big gobblers, and a red fox. Unfortunately none were in range.
  19. Steve D
    Thanks for the info...I think if he was harvested someone would have known. That image is constantly on my mind.

    Where would you look for deer on this map ? I personally have never found a deer on a map. They are good for getting the lay of the land but the only way you are going to find the deer for sure is "boots on the ground"

    Last I knew deer don't fly
  22. Steve D
    Don't forget it needs to be tagged and you need to send some fur to Dave - WX2CIB for fly tying.
  23. Steve D
    Must be my lucky day
  24. Steve D
    You might be right but I cannot imagine what it would like trying to get him out
  25. Steve D
    That is definitely a nice buck. There have been some big ones taken in the Bristol area over the years. Congrats to him
