Cool video, any big bucks? Can't really see on my phone Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Grow - Nice Bucks. I told you that you should have let me come up to hunt with you. I am 100% sure that if I sat with you that some of those bucks would have shown up LOL.

So my Dad went and looked at the property today. Overall, while it has lots of deer sign, it sounds like it gets a lot of hunting pressure. Below is what he sent me. I will just give you a briefing as we can talk more in person or on the phone. It is a 20 minute ride and 17 miles. I knew where the area was but just not familiar with the actual near by roads. There are several deer tracks , deer trails, and dropping in the area. I even found one fresh buck rub. On the left side of the property the posted signs are from " XXXXXXXX Sportsman's Association" On the right side the closest house is closer than expected. I did find 5 tree stands or tree blinds, new and old on the edges of the property. Some are old but some are being used this season. One had a bottle of buck lure and deer attraction scent at the base of the tree. I took pictures. So it is being used this season. I walked back approx. 300 yards back and it then becomes covered with what looks like bamboo stalks and mushy terrain. I did not go back any further which prob. comes out to the open fields. The property itself is wet with several little streams zig- zaging across it. There are also a lot of thorns and thickets. Great cover for deer. From where the guy has the for sale sign it would be only 70 yards approx. to the posted signs on the left, and approx. 70 yards from the house on the right. Remember there are a few vacant lots to the right, so the property seems very narrow. My concern is all the hunting stands which are pretty close together. I'm not sure if they are on the edge of the property or just off the edges on bordering property. Route XX is directly across the street within 75 yards up hill. I took several pictures on the property, tree stands, and the old shack on the property so you can see what I mean. I did not see any hunters, but I have a feeling some of the bordering close houses along the road are hunters and have the tree stands set up for there use. In other news, someone I work with said I could probably hunt some private land next year in Colchester (somewhere near Roscoe).

A lot of this stuff is over my head, but pretty cool nonetheless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice. I had a crazy experience with a Bud Ice 30 pack once in Ocean City, MD with some girls from Vero Beach, FL. Probably 2005 or 2006 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Millionaires turning wrenches? something doesn't add up.

It was a thought if the property really looked good, however the way I read it the map it looks like the piece might only be about 250 ft wide, so like 80 yards wide. Next step is what my Dad sees tomorrow when he checks it out.

All makes sense, thanks. My dad might walk the property tomorrow, so we will see. Further digging through town parcel maps and info shows the 401 acre owner has livestock. Not sure if that means much as to what may be on his farm. This property is in Dutchess County by the way.

What about putting in a 1/2 acre or 1 acre foot plot? Could that potentially draw some deer in? Where I currently hunt about 10-15 miles away, I drew deer into 2 foot by 2 foot section of throw and grow, nice bucks midday. But it was all eaten before xbow season.

Thanks again all. Some more info on this 7 acre piece. It was used for years as a hunting property by 1 man who passed away over 10 years years ago. His adult children inherited it and used it for a year or two to camp on, but haven't used it since. It is for sale for dirt cheap, so if someone buys it to build a house, it would end any thoughts of hunting on it anyway.

Yea, we'll see what happens. I'm hoping my Dad takes a ride to check out the property. We were told its very overgrown, but who knows what that really means.

Some more info: So the property is 7 acres and borders a 401 acre piece. The 7 acre piece has a stream towards the back of the property (see blue arrow) and appears to wetlands towards the back.

Thanks guys. If the property looks good and we can hunt it, I can try to find out what the Farm has and then plant something different on the piece we can hunt, like a 1/2 acre plot or something in the middle of the woods Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks all, much appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea. The farm land isn't land I could hunt. Was just curious. I'm hoping to take a look at the land in a few weeks to see if it has deer sign. I'm thinking it might be a decent spot since it's the only wooded area near a bunch of farm land Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For those of you who know farm lands, what type of farm lands are in this satellite image? The red spot on the right is where I might be able to hunt next year. It's about 5-10 acres bordering whatever these farm fields are. Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FSW is a millionaire so he hires "escorts", not "prostitutes". In other news, he PMd me a picture of him and his family. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The board would light up because that is illegal in NY. If it was legal in NY, then the board would not light up. Pretty simple to understand.

Can they do a mullet? I want to look like my hero FSW Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
