  1. Naw , Id love to go out west but No $ with the COVID goin on . I used to squirrel hunt every September but don’t have time for pursuing Both Salmon And Squirrel so , made a choice a number of years ago . Maybe I’ll got out this year , now that I have more time lol
  2. Hey Guys, was thinking about the guy hi just joined the forum and new to hunting saying he wanted to start out still hunting and I can’t help but feel a little nervous for the guy if he goes through w it. I’m sure it depends mostly on where you hunt , but , having said that , if it’s public land I would advise against it , especially up in the Catskills , where we get a lot of guys coming up from the city . What do you think ? Is Still hunting Safe in 2020?
  3. Found On Road Dead : looks right to me lol
  4. Yeah , I may go after 11/1 to see if they have any leftovers . Last year I didn’t get anything till the leftovers and I scored one although it was 3M . As it turned out , didn’t even matter cuz my girlfriend got sick 2 days before the opener and I didn’t hunt all season!!
  5. Just got my license ! For the first time ever , I got BOTH of my DMP tags requested , 3H and 3M ! I know that they say it doesn’t matter when you apply but I don’t really believe that , IMHO , the earlier the better !!
  6. There a been a few : John Tyler took over for William Henry Harrison was the first I believe , then You have one of the most famous well known , Lincoln shot down shortly after reelection and Johnson took his place for almost the entire term .
  7. I gotta go get mine ; buying early doesn’t increase your chances for a DMP correct ?
  8. Sounds like a Catbird ; what color was it ?
  9. Good luck to you , too bad this state continues to drive good people Out
  10. That’s what I would worry about more than anything : the noise . Guess it would be smart to practice setup a number of times prior to the season so that you’re smoother w it . Knowin me though , I d get one then wait till opening day to even look at it lol
  11. I used to use hang ons and liked them ok but They never felt as secure as a ladder stand . I’m not a big believer in the straps provided ; always supplemented my rig- up with a chain for extra security
  12. If credible , probably an escaped monkey or something lol
  13. Welcome aboard! Catskills are a good place to get started but I’d be a little careful about still hunting if you have no experience . Expect there to be LOTS of other hunters around , especially opening weekend so if you’re going to still hunt MAKE SURE you’re rockin the blaze orange BIGTIME . That said , do some scouting if possible on public land and maybe you can use other hunters to your advantage . I like to be in deep before sunrise and as the orange army venture in at daybreak , maybe they’ll push something to you, good luck
  14. Yeah , Not surprised it’s made in China But so’s everything these days. I’ll check it out , Thanks for the link
  15. Has anyone been actually stopped yet or is it all just talk right now ?
  16. I’m sorry for your troubles; sure hope she recovers fully
  17. No doubt! Very worrisome to see our individual freedoms being eroded as of late , ostensibly because of the virus but also , with all the anti- law enforcement sentiment pervasive out there , I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the left becomes more aggressive and goes after the 2nd amendment.
  18. Oh ok , so What’s a Saddle stand ? Not familiar with that
  19. Yup , according to the NYS Forest Ranger that ticketed me you do. I still have other stands deeper in that they didn’t find ( I guess) but technically, all stands AND TRAIL CAMS MUST be removed at the end of the season on state land : ridiculous. I have to check out these Vipers. How heavy are the aluminum ones would you say roughly ?
