I'm pulling a camera Friday. Scouting PA Monday and I have one more spot I want to look at locally but that may be just grab my gear and go for bow or gun.

Glad to see she's still shooting that bow.

Stay safe.

Was just talking to a guy down here at work who just got into hunting. Told him how packed everything used to be during gun season and it's just not like that anymore. However I know of a bunch of kids and women getting into it now so I still have hope that it will somewhat grow. I don't think it will ever be what it used to be but that's why it's up to the people still involved in it to carry on the traditions and stories. Try and recruit as many people as possible. Celebrate every harvest just because it may not be a trophy to one person it may be a trophy for the other. I get just as excited if one of my friends or family shoots a spike or a big 8.

Yes you need a bow hunter safety course unless you have your states bow license. Then I believe you just need to show that.

Yea I have received 2 or 3 in the mail before.

I don't think it does. I've bought my tags the first day all the way to the day before they stop selling them and it's always hit or miss for me to get my 7p tag.

No shortages I guess for me just prices to come back down for some house projects. Want to redo my floors and add a lean-to to my garage but I'm not in any rush. Nomad I have a bunch of buddies who have campers and they always seem to just buy car tires and run them. However they usually aren't traveling more than 50miles from home.

I would mention it to him. Is your daughter and future SIL aware of the situation? If not that would be my first phone call. It's there wedding and if they expected to do XYZ and no longer can they do need an honest explanation. So that way if they need to they can try and come up with the money on there own.

Just bought this bow holder for my treestand hopefully it works out. I will just need to stealthstrip it. It's what I'm looking for with my new setup. Company is based out of NY also.

I figured the fall shift would start in the next couple weeks. I noticed the does in my area are starting to hangout more and more. Couple more weeks should start seeing some hard antler bucks

Glad your ok. Bee allergies are no joke.

Think those are coming from the does.

I forget what my friend has but it's a break action style and we have taken more squirrels with that gun than all the other combined.

I called a couple taxidermist down there and to take all measurements cape, take skull plate off they quoted me 50-75.

Not saying we left the right way. Should of carpet bombed every base, supply area whatever we had left there I don't think anyone would disagree with that. Still wouldn't matter pull out this year, 10yrs ago, 10yrs from now plane's ect out of the equation it still would of fell back into there hands this quick. Not everyone has the same views as our country and we need to just except it. Most countries don't except our life and that's fine. Like it's been posted by others you try and come here and we will level you but we can't keep policing the world. I understand why we went in and supported why. However once that objective was complete we needed to start pulling out and let them fix themselves. I've always said and will stick to it that we have a bunch of poverty, violence, poor education and so on in this country not to mention the major divide in political views. That we should be spending our tax dollars on helping our people instead of everyone else's and try to set the best example possible for the world in everything from treatment of citizens,education, healthcare, technology I could keep going. I hope they can get out anyone that helped us while we were there because they will pay the ultimate price if it's not done. It was going to be a messy situation either way you look at it and just unfortunate.

So quick question. I can't seem to get ahold of a DEC officer to get an answer. If I take a good buck in PA this year and want a shoulder mount done by my guy in NY as long as someone down there capes it out skull and all and cuts skull plate off I can bring it back to NY correct?

Couldn't agree more. They don't want us there. We have enough stuff to fix in this country to worry about another country that fundamentally doesn't have the same view on life. Ask most troops that have gone over and they all new what was going to happen. I'm not suprised at all. We should of been out years ago instead of continuing to let our men and women go fight and get injured or killed for someone who doesn't want what we were pushing on them.

My friend got back from Afghanistan in April when they started the removal of troops. First thing he told me was the Taliban would have it back by Halloween if they pulled everyone out.

I hope it isn't. Keep us updated

100 for euro and plaque last year. My shpulder mount from 2017 was 600. My new taxidermy said 550 for shoulder 650 for pedestal.

Thanks I like to make sure I'm on early so if I have an off day I know it's me not the bow. Biggest thing I do though is shoot 3 times once I know I'm dialed in. Just to help myself focus on those 3 shots instead of shooting 50arrows in a row.

Glad he's gone but what do we know about the views of the lieutenant governor taking his place? I'll have to read up on her later.

Got my tags today. I finally got a 7p tag again. I'll be taking my daughter soon to see if she can get another doe tag.
