  1. Tonight’s champion Matt Amodio goes for his 30 something straight win. He already won over a million dollars. The guys a monster ! Unfortunately I’ll have to tape it along with the Wild Card because I’m having company at 6:00pm
  2. I think the Giants win it all ….. they have been playing good all year. As long as the Dodgers don’t win it. Being declared World Champions last year after a 60 game season was horseshit.
  3. No frost expected in the extended forecast where I live. Hope I get to at least see some deer this year with the gun. Last year I didn't hear any shots on Opening Day.....that's never happened in the last 40 plus years that I've been hunting.
  4. For those interested……it appears the fawn succumbed to EHD. The 2 emaciated deer on my trail camera might have CWD.
  5. I hope the fawn is still there if the DEC stops by. I can visualize a coyote carrying it off.
  6. I think you’re right but I might try to convince them to stop by.
  7. Agreed. I saw the fawn trying to drink from our birdbath yesterday but he couldn’t reach it. Last year I found 9 dead deer from EHD along the local creek where I hunt. But the 2 sick deer on my trail camera don’t look like EHD to me.
  8. Yesterday I found this little fawn wandering around my back yard. I thought it was strange not being able to spot the doe anywhere. So about an hour ago , I was walking around my vegetable garden when I noticed this little guy laying there covered in flies. He was still breathing but laboring. I would imagine he will be dead by nightfall. After finding sick deer on my trail cameras and now this , something bad is definitely going on around here.
  9. I’d rather set up my trail cameras for furbearers. I usually have a good idea where the deer are during hunting season. That doesn’t guarantee me anything though. Lol
  10. rachunter…..here’s the enhanced photo that I sent to the DEC.
  11. You're right.....I emailed him the doe photos. He might stop by my house this week after he looks at these photos.
  12. I would try to put them down but they always show up after dark. Besides which , they are too many houses and a grade school near me to discharge a gun.....bow maybe.
  13. I spoke to their biologist a few days ago regarding a sick looking doe. He asked me if I thought it was EHD and I told him no. He requested that I get in touch with him if I see anymore infected deer. Other than CWD and rabies , I'm not sure what other diseases deer get. I wish I knew what is infecting the local deer around my house. I hate to see them suffer like this.
