Swamp_bucks

Slowly starting to change. Picture doesn't do this tree justice it very bright.

Yep I'll push before I sit. I always have more action pushing.

7 DAYS!!! can't wait I have the day off and will be in a tree nice and early waiting to hear the woods wake up.

That's what I do and it tastes great. It's the only way I can get my kids to eat the burger and sausage.

Anyone have plans on where their first sit of the year will be in NY? I've been eyeing the weather and if it stays for what it's calling for it should be a nice opening morning. My plan as long as the wind is west of any sort I will have 3 choices either on the edge of 2 separate swamps or where a private agg fields leads to a 10yr old clear cut with tons of bedding with a big white oak just off the agg field 30 yards. I will drive around the night before to see what the areas look like and see if I can get eyes on one of the shooters. Either way in just over a week I'll be sitting in a tree listening to the woods wake up.

Pa camera pull we had a bunch of does and fawns problem was we had the camera set to high so we have a bunch of pictures of thier backs. Also jumped 5 does and a spike at another location

Are these at that state park you hunt? Nice bucks hope you get one or 2

Well made the trip down to PA to grab my cameras. One Produced a bunch of does and fawns one possibly 2 good bucks and my first bear picture. Had the camera set to high I had a bunch of pictures of the back of deer. 2nd camera someone was nice to leave my camera but helped themselves to my card. Not the first time that's happened. However on my way to the camera I jumped 5 does and a spike. Plus the trail in front of the camera was tore apart with large tracks.

1 step closer to the season. Needed new totes for the house and a new one for my trip. Went to Walmart and got a good deal. They had 40 gallon lock top totes on wheels on clearance for $15 each. I bought the last 4. So now I have a new tote to fit all my hunting clothes in as well.

22 years with having my license however I was chasing small game on my grandparents property 3 or 4 years before that.

Hoping to get ro PA this morning to check cams quick before the trip this year.

Went for a quick walk to put up a camera in a swamp. Found 20 plus beds and the first rubs of the year.

We weren't to far off then. We guessed 3.5 -4.5 and around 115. He does have one coming up that is going to be nice next year if he makes it. Has a split browtine already. Only picture of the one I'm velvet but he's a 10.

It's small but it was in a bed in a swamp I've been looking at. I plan to let the camera soak all year and pull it December. I'll hunt the outskirts of the swamp this year but won't jump in all the way until peak rut if I still have a tag. It should be a good all day sit spot.

Friend sent me these bucks from a new property he has permission to hunt. He was just wondering age and possible score. He is planning on taking either one. We believe 1st picture and 3rd are the same buck. You can see his crab claw on that one side in each photo.

Slowly starting here in 7p. Leaves are falling quick and only a couple trees have really started changing that I've noticed. Get into the next couple weeks they will really be showing.

I zoomed in and you can see her hoof on the ground.

It's a southern PA truck so the rust isn't bad underneath. I was doing pull-ups on all the cross members and sections of the frame while I was underneath it and it was all very solid. That's why it's in my driveway now.

Love that door looks nice

Thank you

Care to share the brew?

I fell 8 years ago from 10ft and got very lucky that the only thing I did was scrape my back up and twisted my ankle. From there on out I always have my harness on. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Well season is about to start and I'm 100% public land this year. Goal to start the year is the same as last year 2.5 yr old and up. It may change by the end of the year but I have a bunch of confidence this year and feel like I need to trust my scouting. These are a couple of the bucks I'll be chasing this year and I know there is a few bigger ones running around. Still not sure about the one in the first picture.

Getting closer. Clothes are getting washed Monday broadheads are all sharpened and in the quiver. I have an idea on my opening day spot just waiting to see what the weather will be. Just have to go through my pack and get some milk weed. Just looked at my schedule after tomorrow's shift I have 6 shifts left before the season. Then I have 20 days off from opener until October 27th. (Not in a row)

This also why close to home I pull my cameras 1st week of September to help prevent them from being stolen and to keep my ass from checking them. Usually by end of August I know whats in the area and can just hunt them
