You never forget your first! Congrats!

Yahoo! I plan to be bowhunting in the s. tier this weekend!

I will take the first buck larger than a spike with the archery equipment then use my gun tag for a trophy. I have several doe permits that I use to fill the freezer.

Be ever vigilant ! I went all weekend at hunting camp, watching carefully with only one tick crawling on me. Then I picked one up in the parking lot while loading my stuff to go home. Bastard sunk his fangs in me on the way home. He was promply picked and flicked.

That's a dandy buck!! Congratulations!!

cd32505n don't get mad and swear at us, for you lose credability. If you are who you say you are, call the DEC and have them take care of it. Now since you are new here you have to understand something, we have tons of anti-hunters coming on here with stories just like yours, trying to make us look bad in the public eye. So needless to say we are weary. If you are not who you say you are......then move on.

He must work for DECALS

I just checked 2 sites. Both say a little wind on Saturday and almost none on Sunday for central NY.

I have used ever calm liquid. I just got an email from the company that makes it that people are selling counterfit versions of the liquid product. So if that is what you want, be sure to buy it from the company.

I wear camo with a blaze orange camo hat and a face mask. Deer cannot see the hat.

If I had to start over again I would do Straight Talk. But money was tight to pay full price for a phone. So I upgraded through Verison.

Any app that you think is neat. I have the deer call app and the flashlight.

What are some really cool apps that I should get?

Compression fitting clothes like Under Armour also work well to deter ticks. The way I tuck in shirts and socks, all they have to get at are my hands and neck/head.

Dandy buck, congrats!!

I like my facemask. Been using one for over 10 years now. It will definately keep you warmer and in the stand longer when its cold and blowing. I have one made by Field & Stream that I got from Dick's. It has a tight fit and is reversable. Black on one side for the ground blind and camo for the tree stand. A face mask does take some getting used to. If it gets hot I just drop the bottom half of the face hole below my nose.

Get Lumenocks and you will never have that problem again. Congrats on the buck. He's a dandy!

You have such good genetics in that region, it's hard to say. My guess is 2.5.

Congratulations! A day you will never forget.

Ah yes....the union hater slash thread hyjackers. I'm not going to waste my time and stoop to your level debating this. We'd have a better chance debating abortion. I came to this thread to offer a possible logical solution. You however came just to stand on your soap box and bash teacher unions. Whatever.... To answer your question. What I look at during my two break periods is my choice. I don't tell you what to look at during your coffee break. By the way you will notice that I posted this at 2:30 after my students have left for the day. I'm done with this. Feel free to rant on in my absence.

No they are not. You are just wrong. . As an educator the first thread does not make sense. There is no rule about not doing homework after school. What is the name of the after school program? Chances are if its a program like YEP, they receive funds to do a specific curriculum with the kids. The school may be pocketing the money that was earmarked for specific and important activities then letting kids do homework instead. I'll be you a doughnut I'm right.

I remember that story on here, nice buck. Your trophy makes your pic look a spike.

If you are shooting a whisket bisket you will want Blazers. I shoot fixed blades. I switched to Blazers about 5 years ago and I'm never going back.

Hi there! I'm writing this from work in Watertown. There are tons of untouched state land around here. Look toward the eastern shore of lake Ontario near Southwicks Park. Tons of deer per square mile.

Speaking from experience. Have a plan to get a deer out that is 2-5 MILES from the truck. Be prepared to spend the night with the deer or hang it up away from coyotes and bears.
