    I’m not that hard core but would like to get into some survival hikes and hunts requiring those skills: so what’s the vasaline and cotton balls for anyway?

    When you spend slot of time in the woods it’s bound to happen . I’ve been temporarily lost at most maybe a few hours but always have made it back . From those experiences , I’ve learned to become much more aware of my surroundings and pay attention to detail more effectively . Still not foolproof though. ALWAYS make a point to check your direction when. First entering the woods and plan which direction you need to get out . You’d be surprised at the guys that don’t do even that

    Awesome pic!!

    Shit that sucks , even if it’s been years , it’s a lot of work staying up a new one. Sorry that happened but part of hunting I guess
  5. Northcountryman
    Yup , I agree. It’s ok to be a liberal but it’s NOT ok to use your position as a public commentator to call for the harassment of someone engaged in a completely legal pastime just because you don’t agree with or support the pursuit of that pastime. I never liked this guy and I see that he hasn’t changed at all since he was fired by MSNBC. Shut up and do your sports commentating Keith and keep your politics to yourself!!

    Where can you get that winter rye?
  7. Northcountryman
    Why Fatboy , did it say somewhere on the thread it’s only legal in certain areas or situations that I missed? Thanks
  8. Northcountryman
    Actually I just did some research and I found an old thread from this forum from 2011 where the guys were saying it is perfectly legal to establish and hunt over a public land foodplot .
  9. Northcountryman
    Yes , that sounds right Storm, I guess best way to find out is do some research and make a phone call to the regional office

    Ok thanks, I wonder about the 300 model that you hang next to your stand? It’s supposed to block your scent and give you that edge; since ozone is denser than air , I imagine you hang it high and let it drift down to you , any one ever use that model?
  11. Northcountryman
    Ok that’s a good price compared to those ones you take out into the field. Might be worth it to try one out

    Love squirrel hunting just don’t have the time to do everything I love , maybe this season I can squeeze in a hunt or 2
  13. Northcountryman
    Cool how much was the throw n go if you don’t mind and how does it work basically?
  14. Northcountryman
    Yes I agree , IF I did it, I would find a spot deep in to reduce the likelihood of that occurring although there would never be any guarantee that I would have it all to myself for sure
  15. Northcountryman
    Yes, you’re right, you can’t till it! Just an idea but probably would be too much work anyway , never hunted Stewart, may have to check it out
  16. Northcountryman
    Have you ever used those ozone control devices I’ve been reading about in the hunting mags? Are they worth it to purchase ? Considering getting one for next season to hang next to my stand and was looking for opinions / feedback. Thanks so much

    Hey guys, I have NEVER planted a food plot in my life, let alone hunted over one but I was thinking about planting one sometime. My question is: can you plant a food plot on state land? Thanks Northcountryman
  18. Northcountryman
    What about me, I live in Sullivan
  19. Northcountryman
    For squirrels, you really don’t need to go out too far and deep to have success I’ve found so even is it’s very cold out, an hour or two out can usually yield decent results. Having said that, anything under 5 below maybe I’d stay home
  20. Northcountryman
    Well I definitely wasted a lot of time this year, got up late, didn’t go out if it was too cold, etc. and consequently got skunked. I will pay for it now having to wait another full year till I can do this again . Don’t waste time!!
  21. Northcountryman
    Nice thanks for the info, very helpful and informative
  22. Northcountryman
    Hey Guys, anyone ever hunt sterling forest in Orange County? Looks like a decent sized tract, wouldn’t mind checking it out if it has promise Hope everyone’s season has gone well
  23. Northcountryman
    Not having good season this year, still got the skunk on and it seems like I’ve been lazier and less focused than in years past . I have a new girlfriend I’ve been seeing that’s a major distraction but in a good way . Consequently, I’ve been sleeping in and showing up to my spots late, game planning is off or non existent etc. I really feel that when I’ve been successful in years past, I REALLY felt ready and super focused at the start of the season because I am NEVER lucky lol. Can you relate ?
  24. Northcountryman
    They can hear you if the snows crunchy unfortunately
  25. Northcountryman
    Yup I agree and she’s still there. I’m wondering if it’s all relative anyway. So, when temps have been consistently in the 50s and then drop to the mid 30s or so does that trigger increased movement? I’ll bet it does and that’s normally why normal wisdom dictates the sudden drop in temp and greater deer activity maxim. But when it’s this cold? Nope, I think they huddle up and wait for the sun to warm things up a bit before they move
