Trump!!
Northcountryman replied to Four Seasons's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
Cmon guys ; Lefty’s ok. He’s good peoples and brings some balance to the forum . Wouldn’t it be kinda boring around here without him ? Great to hear a differing POV IMHO ; most importantly , so we dont get too radicalized ourselves - and that goes for both sides :D!! -
Trump!!

Kennedy? Uhhh....no, not even close -Very cynical and despairing POV. We can do better, for sure, but can also do worse, which is where were headed currently with a cognitvely demented fool running the show. -

Is this true? -
Guys , I know this sounds incredible counterintuitive and lazy , but I’ve actually done this a few times over the years , not just today ! When I got up , around 4:20 , i had all my stuff ready to go including my breakfast premade . As I was sitting there , though , thinking about all I had to do at home for work , I started to talk myself out of not going until , before you know it , I was putting my stuff away and poring an extra cup of coffee to watch in front of the tv lol. I did feel a bit disgusted with myself , in retrospect and recall I did the other time or two this happened to me . Eve happen to you guys ? Deep down , was I just being lazy ?

Deer population up or down in your area?
Northcountryman replied to gipe's topic in General Chit Chat
3H - hard to tell , really , but I would say pretty much the same over the past few seasons . -
Do they go deeper now, when pressured?
Northcountryman replied to Northcountryman's topic in Deer Hunting
I’m hoping to go out again in the morning; haven’t hunted since last Saturday , so hopefully the beak will let things settle down a bit in the areas around my spots . That is , of course , assuming others weren’t hunting there during this respite too lol. -

I agree ; as long as mass mail in voting is in play , a process incredibly insecure and ripe with potential for fraud , I will question the outcome ( even if my “my side wins “!) .currently- and sadly - Our elections are a mess!! -
What a shame. A few years ago, I was hunting a good sized buck near wurtsboro ;unfortunately, turned out w/ same result. I had his travel corridor and bedding area nailed down, followed the bed out to a grassy area just by the road and, sadly, found him dead about 100 yds from it with a broken leg. Also, whoever hit him (or found his body first) sawed off his rack cuz it was such a trophy- just my luck!!

They have some of that breath deodorizer stuff too from scent away;dont know if it works or not but saw a bottle up to huntin camp the other day. I try to keep my mouth closed as much as possible while in the woods to avoid that- who knows if it works !!!

Northcountryman replied to Northcountryman's topic in Deer Hunting
Have you seen them do this ? -
Each and every year, after opening weekend, same thing, right guys? Deer seem to disappear- but do they go deeper and further in, necessarily? Im not convinced that they do; rather, , I think alot of times they hunker down in those nasty areas of their core area where we dont go due to difficult access, hunker doen throughout most of the day, and chill-for the most part, till nightfall. So , how do you get 'em ?

Nice job!! Im gonna try this tomorrow, I think while doin a little still hunting. So, you only turned the can over 1x per call or did you do a few in a row? Everey 50 steps or so you would do this? Sounds like a lot to me , but ill try it. Do you think it may spook them . though , doing ti so often? Great post
-
For me, in my stand (or spot) by around 6. before, I would try to get there as early as possible, like even as early as 5:15 but thats just alot of watsed time , IMHO; besides, you get cold quicker that way and its not even shooting light yet!!
-
Gotcha ; only thing you can do then is try to go on the second day . My belief is that the deer is winding you , though . Do you spray your eqpt and clothes e with scent blocker ?
-
You da man !!
-
Go on the second day and can you walk in another way or no ?
-
Aint it always the way lol

Ok, so went out sat thru monday and took today off cuz I had some things to do. All ive seen so far is one deer blasting pat me around 7am sunday morning; besides that, nothing. Only 1 guy in my club has scored so far, a nice 8 pointer opening morning around 6:50 i think. How are you doing? Get anything yet? Any sightings?
