  1. I'll try to get a recent pic this weekend off the camera card, she is huge now. I only saw once this year and I wasn't looking to shoot any doe yet then.
  2. This pic is from a couple years ago and she's still around and bigger yet.
  3. I'm getting pics of four bucks sparring in a food plot tonight, I'm thinking they probably won't be loosing their antlers for a while yet.
  4. I remember when I did mine years ago it was hard to find one. Good luck getting into one.
  5. So... It wasn't last minute but it was last afternoon. Me and five other people did some pushing today. We saw deer on every push which I thought was pretty good. On the last one of the day before taking our evening watches I got this buck. We had a ton of fun and this really made the day. Nine pointer with a couple small kickers near the bases. 18 1/2 inch inside spread. My best buck to date.
  6. Did two little pushes with some guys this morning. Saw deer on both but no shooting.
  7. A friend and I sat in my enclosed blind this afternoon. We didn't anticipate seeing much with it being so windy but it was good to catch up. We ended up seeing four does and fawns right at dark that were acting really spooked.
  8. I initially got it to mess with an old guy I used to hunt with back when I first started hunting. I snuck it into his bunk to see what sort of reaction I would get. That one didn't work so good because he was so tired he didn't even notice. The next use was to put it up in a field at night where the illegal spot lighting was going on all the time. That use worked really well. We had a ball watching the lights come on then go off super quick once they saw "Lucy"
  9. I did this on a blow up doll year's ago to try to fake out a guy that always hunted right on my line. I don't know if it worked or not but I felt better about it!
  10. Sitting with my 10 yr old. The plan was to be in my shadow hunter blind with a heater available and good windows but he decided to be afraid to climb the ladder today. So we are in a half ass ground blind that has no heat or windows. I hope he can hold out for a while.
  11. To stay out of the woods more and still see what's going on I have been adding cell cams with black flash. It's super fun seeing what's going on while your not there and not have to go in just to pull cards, also I just don't have the time to get out and pull cards all over.
  12. I currently hunt my 89 acres mostly. I owned 54 to start then added another 35 that didn't really add much to hunt on but got rid some hunting pressure along the line and made for some different access points for me.

    Ticks

    When I first started hunting I didn't know the difference between a ked and a tick and always thought the deer were loaded with ticks when it was actually Keds. Shortly there after I figured it out and either way they both still give me the heeby jeebys. I used to turkey hunt in the fall in Potter county PA and on any warm drizzly day I would find Keds in my beard, it FREAKED me out so bad I wouldn't go in that weather any more!
  14. I still get in on a few small pushes with a couple of guys that I have hunted with for 20 + years..... Man I'm getting old!
  15. Got this pic this morning. This buck has been messing with me almost daily. Check out the snow on his rack.
  16. The deer at my place sure are picky eaters. I guess with apples all over the ground not far away and standing corn next to me my bean plot doesn't look appealing to them.

    First buck

    Mine was a basket rack seven pointer in 1999 in Canisteo. Five doe and fawn came up out of a thorn appple thicket looking behind them and there he was. They were about 40 yards away and I unloaded on him. I don't remember how many times I hit him but I wasn't about to let him get away! Nobody else was hunting that day because it was a slushy rainy sort of miserable day.
  18. Well...... I blew it on a wall hanger. I tried to force the shot through a bunch of brush. I should know better. I'm glad it was a clean miss right over him instead of wounding him. Hope to get another crack at him sometime.
  19. Did a little push this morning that we do every year. Last year we kicked out a doe and an eight point. Today was just a little four point that got a pass.
