  1. Really, how friggin stupid was this guy thinking he wouldn't get caught. The other large deer he claims were shot behind his house were probably shot in the same high fence place, and no one questioned those, so let's try a world record, lol
  2. Well, I hate to say it, but...... Better you than me. Seriously though, that had to be beyond aggravating. Were you screens the fiber type? Not sure the metal would have lasted much longer.
  3. 2 yrs ago a client had a horrible mouse problem. I was there every day in the fall emptying the traps. Forgot exactly how many I got in a two week period, but it was a incredible number. Old stacked stone foundation was the culprit. It's since been repointed and the mice have been manageable. Couldn't imagine having them chew threw screens though.
  4. I agree 100% with you on letting county officials dictate whether a hunting season is held or not. Should be DECs decision.
  5. Only the back legs? Decent amount of meat on the torso. I made squirrel sausage once. Took the meat from 15-20 squirrel's and mixed it 50/50 with pork. IIRC I think I had around 3lbs total, lol. It was delicious.
  6. Looks like there's a little drama coming to light.

  8. Agreed. They are hitting the hickory's hard. Had to move one of my cams because I was getting tired of getting notifications on my phone only to see a tree rat.
  9. I'd see this. I really don't see many counties opting out of it. There's usually little to no snow in most areas at this time. I hope my county(Columbia) adopts the season, but there a lot of antis in this county and I'm sure they will do everything they can to stop it, but realistically, if it's bitter cold and I've already have a couple deer down, I probably wouldn't hunt.
  10. I'm sure it takes time to get the test results back, so most likely, the numbers are going to jump. As more hunters start to scout for the upcoming season, I'm betting the calls to DEC reporting dead deer will increase multiple times.
  11. The article on DEC website estimates 1500 died last year.
  12. Just found this same article on DEC website. So far only two deer are confirmed, with several other dead deer reported, but not confirmed.
  13. Not busting chops...but Your neighbor finding two dead isn't a confirmation of EHD. Has there been any actual confirmed cases by DEC? I'm just hoping it isn't EHD, and just some weird coincidence.
  14. I don't live in those areas, but are these confirmed cases?
  15. Pretend your deer hunting. You'll have squirrels after your nuts.
  16. My nephew had the local GW walk up to him on stand last yr. He said someone complained Kayden was trespassing. Turns out it wasn't even the landowner that bitched, but a lady that parked on the road to walk her dog. She didn't even live on the road, just didn't like hunters.
  17. Lots of predators in my hunting area. I'm getting yotes on my cams several times a day. Gotten a few fox and last year had several fisher pics. Still lots of turkey around.
  18. That would make anyone feel better.
  19. Great thread as always. Thanks for sharing the pics.
  20. I assuming public land if you're worried about them being stolen? I think I'd chance it, but go during the less active times.
  21. I'm glad I've got the unlimited plans on my cell cams this yr. Getting 70 plus pics a day on all 3 cameras. Just a crap load of does, fawns and smaller bucks. Oh and coyotes galore. I talked to the new landowner about crop damaged tags for next yr. We'll use those for new and youth hunters.
  22. Ordered some 7mm08 a few weeks ago that was supposedly in stock. Just got the shipping notification yesterday.
  23. If it's your house, you don't have to be 500' away.
