  1. Mental note. Roosted toms do not like red head lamps. The two I roosted freaked out when I flipped it on and by the sounds of it are somewhere in Ohio. Better luck tomorrow. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  2. And two Tom's just roosted in trees 30 yards away. Sneak out tonight. I think turkey season opens tomorrow. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  3. Just busted by a deer with mountain goat blood that was apparently scaling a cliff wall behind me. Never saw it, but it smelled me, snorted and took off. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  4. Back out on public land for sit till dark in 3g. 55 and swirling breeze. Decent fresh sign on a bench I am overlooking but a not too quiet hike in. I think my only chance might be a deaf deer. At least it will be a relaxing way to end the week. Good luck all. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  5. Patterson. Mostly private but cranberry mountain when I go public. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  6. Out in 3g before work this AM. Cold and light but swirling wind. Around 8 two nice does started a slow feed in towards me. Was waiting to see if a 6 that had been hanging with them joined them for breakfast. No sight of him. They fed to about 60 and ducked behind a fallen oak. Lost them in the brush. Gave them 30 minutes and was convinced they had disappeared into thin air. Get up to go to leave and go to work. Take three steps on the leaves and two flags bound off for the distance. Oh well, had to pay the bills so no choice. Great morning regardless. Pulled cams last night. Have a few bucks returning to the property and checking out the does. One nice 9 is back but he is still staying solo and nocturnal. Might hit public tonight if I can get out early enough. Good luck to all. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  7. Thanks very much. If you are interested, take a look at fostering a brood or stud that they are breeding. You take care of them while they are in the breeding program and when they are retired you get first dibs to keep them as your pet. Much easier than getting attached to and having to give up the puppies. They are fantastic dogs and it has given great life lessons for my boys. They also invite you to the graduation ceremony of your dog's pups when they are paired with a sight impaired person. It is very moving. I can give you any details you need if you are interested. They are easily the smartest and best behaved dogs I have ever been around. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  8. Two labs for us. Both from guiding eye breeding program. Pepsi, the yellow, is ten and yielded 18 service dogs. Ikea, the black, is 18 months and getting ready to be bred for the next generation of service dogs. Fantastic members of the family. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  9. Out for a quick sit before soccer games in 3G. Foggy, 41 degrees with no wind. Dead calm except for bird hunters (I assume) in distance. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  10. To top it off my wife texted to tell me she tore up the left side of her car getting gas. Should have stayed in bed. Calling it a day. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  11. Steady drizzle and 44 degrees in 3g. Bed sure sounds nice about now. Wish I connected on doe I met yesterday. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  12. Went for early morning pre-work sit in 3g. Cold and swirling winds. No movement during sit. Pulled cards and got into a staredown with a Doe that I didn't see in brush before I pulled last card. Continued our staredown for about twenty minutes then she boogied with her Fawn. No shot opportunity. Nice to see some daytime movement. Back out tonight. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  13. Still hadn't received tags (but I received DMPs). I called DEC and they said to go into town clerk to get them reprinted free of charge. Went into town clerk. First visit she told me system was down and to come back later. Came back later and she told me that I should get them in the mail. I told her I know, but this year's hasn't come. She said that they hadn't mailed them yet. I told her she was wrong and explained what the DEC said. She told me she was going to charge me for the reprint. I told her no, there is no charge. She called the DEC and they told her there is no charge since I never received my tags. She finally printed them out and gave them to me no charge, including reprints of the doe tags that I had already received in the mail. Our tax dollars at work.

  14. From Montauk... Striped bass was in typical August doldrums. Slow pick from the July full moon, anything caught was good sized though. Picked up with this past weekend's full moon. Lots of bait in the water. May hit again this weekend if I can get out. Will post if I do. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  15. Recommendations for charters in no order: At Montauk Marine Basin: Blue Crush Charters Elizabeth II Professional Cryer Sea Wife At Westlake Marina: Suzie E November Rain Google them to get their details and give them a call. Each captain is a little different so you can shop around for what's the best fit. My son says each sets out regularly and comes back with happy customers. Fishing has slowed down a bit over last few weeks inshore, but expect it to pick back up with full moon this weekend. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  16. Yeah. My experience with the mates in Montauk has been more hit or miss recently. (As Montauk has changed so has the people working there.) I took second place in the pool on a recent night bass trip and the mate gave us attitude before handing over the money saying it is typical to tip out of the pool. We both told him this wasn't our first rodeo and knew the deal. We let the captain know and I think that was the last trip for that mate. I'll post some recommendations on charters to check out. My son works a local marina there and can tell who has been putting fish on the deck. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  17. Agreed on Viking fleet. They run dailies for cod I believe and have another boat that I believe does multi day trips out to George's bank for overnighters, I think also targeting tile, hake and others. I believe Miss Montauk and Ebb Tides flip to cod in the winters as well, but I don't know if they fish as regularly as the Vikings. Fished the miss and would recommend. Never been on the ebb tides. If you are looking for a charter instead I can give you a couple to call when you are ready. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  18. Been years since I went for Cod out of Montauk. Latest I have done recently is a post Thanksgiving striper trip once herring came in. Reports have looked solid for the past few years, but I have zero desire to be that cold again. If you need advice on a head boat to go out on let me know. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  19. How does it know to keep the water cold? [emoji2] Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  20. Still waiting on mine. Called DEC on Thursday. They said they send them out in batches and are behind. If I don't receive by September 1 they told me to get replacement tags at my town clerk. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  21. Today's lunch. Yesterday's striper catch made as buffalo striper bites with fresh veggies and ranch. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  22. Out for likely last striper trip before summer is out. My youngest took third place on the boat with his first bass. 32 inches. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  23. Not my fish but an impressive catch. My son weighed this in for one of the private boats at the marina he works at. 437#. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  24. Took the train back from Montauk yesterday afternoon. 80 degrees, humid, broad daylight and big buck bachelor groups out munching on browse and landscaping in people's back yards next to the train tracks. It is crazy. They know they are safe. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
  25. You betcha. The little guy was cleaning the boat while we filleted. They then helped me vacuum pack the fillets and salted/smoked the mackerel. They'll be ready when they have kids of their own. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
