i have a TC impact. Most accuratte gun i have at one shot at 100 yards. I shoot 2 - 777 pellets and a 245 grain powerbelt. I would carry this all gun season but i like a second shot in case. https://www.natchezss.com/thompson-center-t-c-impact-sb-muzzleloader-50-cal-26-blued-barrel-black.html i also put this scope on it. My favorite, cause i like the circle reticle. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1009530618

Sorry to hear this. Def always make the best of the time you have

Good size doe. Congrats.

Way to go ! Folks ending season big. Congrats @Cabin Fever @cynthiafu @chrisw

Back when I was a football fan used to love the bookends of him and Greg Loyd and levon Kirkland up the middle.

Is it because everyone is wearing masks and disinfecting everything , no gatherings etc. Would think flu and colds would be down cause of that too

i certainly agree that it should be up to each person, 100%. Just dont think the downside isnt worth the upside, think people are afraid of nothing. We all take vaccines and have for years. Just another one. And its not the flu, if you think it is you havent been paying much attention. My 2 cents.

send it!!

so those of you that dont want it ... did you think this was a documentary? Kidding aside why wouldnt you get it? Ive got two arms I will take one in each please.

Sounds like some peaceful time sitting in the stand was more important than meat or horns. Glad you got out some and congrats on your daughter's season.

hes prob making one of those too out of trees, folcrums and deer hides!

2020 can go %#^@$ itself with a @&*!^%% sharp stick in the !&@^%# , !^%# and then take a !^@%$# into a dumpster and light it on !^##*$^@^ fire til it burns #%^@^#% to the ground. Whew......... that being said I was still working all the time, didnt lose anyone to Covid, had a good outdoor season with some great fishing and hunting times, got a new truck and boat. Downward side- I am losing my best hunting spot for next year but it certainly could have been worse, and was for many so i am thankful for how mine went.

Seems like you would have to get a deer the right time of year, to cold smoke it like that and yet maintain a cool enough temp that nothing spoils. Nice setup. Bet it is tasty.

Got to add in a point for team weak. Since can only put in three deer i was holding out for another buck, but that didn't happen so a doe it is.

We definitely will! Let's make it happen. And thanks for the assist when I expertly contained that walleye by burying a hook in my thumb so he couldn't get away! Lol

Thanks. Got a couple leads but will have a spot to hunt either way. I'm a grinder and will get a deer. I've taken a few from spot in 7 F it's just you get one maybe two shots all year so can't be picky. If they (DEC) go to the week of early does, I have a stand in 7J that would be a good chance to put a doe in the freezer early. Now I never get to hunt it cause they put cows out there in early Oct to feed on the field.

Thanks much . And thanks for letting me pick your brain already. Lol. Got some seeds delivered yesterday. Hey I recognize those guys! They look like they are looking for something.....

Thanks you too! Sucks no more hunting at the hole for you, I enjoyed reading those stories and you guys did well there. Good luck finding some new dirt. I am looking , have an idea or two, nothing huge. 7F spot will be my #1 now and it's decent esp for bow so I am lucky to have it.

Nice trout!!!! That makes me almost want to ice fish. Almost. You got the surf , now get the turf! Good luck

Season wrap up -best season ever on Oneida lake. Caught a lot of eyes and some good times fishing with Fishdo and son, and a trip out with Otto and the real tcIII. - love the new boat more than I thought I would. Wanted a swivel seat in the rear but glad it worked out the way it did with setup. It works out better than what I was even planning. - whiffed on a nice Tom in early May - My earliest ever deer on 10/3 doe with the bow - missed a doe with the bow on 10/25 shot under - a nice 6 point on Halloween night with the bow - a doe at the Lomax buckform on last weekend of gun. Great to meet and hunt with Tim. - after not getting a deer at all last season, 3 is a great year that filled the freezer and helped out some others as well. - was told before start of season I can no longer hunt my 6S spot. Nothing I did just a change there. Tough one cause it is my best spot and where I got my biggest deer. Tough one to take but I still am lucky to have my spot in 7F. And am panning for another. - was weird to sit out most of the rut with a buck already on the ground. - looking to do some work on 7F next year. 2 page list. Overall very good hunting and fishing year.

Hunt #44. Light -10:30. 6S. Mosh pit stand. Spent 2 hours in the stand then an hour and a half poking around. Didn't see anything but I got on fresh tracks and eventually to a bed. Deer must've knew I was coming for a ways and busted out. Could tell it was on the gallop. Followed tracks for a ways but went into an area I can't. I knew I was on a fresh track for sure but never say this deer get up or heard it. But it prob busted me from a good distance even with the wind in my face as the snow was real packy and was loud even trying to creep along. Fun day though of getting on a track. Tried a couple other bedding areas but nothing. That's it for the season.

Headed out for last hunt of the season and last ever hunt in my 6S spot. Hoping for a last shot on a buck I've had on cam all season, he made it thru gun season. Would be great to round it all out with one on the ground. Doe might be in play will make the in game decision if it happens. Gonna sit for a while in stand then push into some bedding areas and see if one jumps.

Great bucks Red and Chef. Way to end the season.

Good luck and stay well, hope it's gone quickly.

Its good to see your nys compliant and only have 7 shots still.
