wow 4 8+ pointers all together.....lucky you!

Where is the land and how much?

Thanks....but thats looks like possibly 7 then, if they split right? not 8...

Thanks, so they are generally an extra point or 2 on each side than what they show in Velvet? I dont have a pic, but have been seeing a small 6 point in velvet. so maybe he will be an 8 or 10?

I'm not familiar with the relationship between what a deer's rack is with velvet compared to what it will be in the fall? Anyone care to explain....? Thanks in advance.

doesnt even look close to real.....haha, what a joke.

Nevermind, I found everything. No course needs to be taken. Just print out a form, sign it, and carry it. Just have to buy the Late Season ML license. Crossbow Hunting--In addition to the requirements for all hunters, to qualify to hunt deer or bear with a crossbow, the applicant must read the qualifications and sign and carry the certificate in Crossbow Hunting Qualifications and Certificate (PDF 91 kb).

any word on the online safety course?

when will this stuff be available?

any word on the NYS safety course to get your Xbow license?

I have access to private land I hunt on in NY. No point in buying more land in NY, can only shoot 1 buck per year anyway.

I'm 27, too young and immature for kids haha.

Nope, not my own boss lol. I'm 27, Work for a big law firm, that gives a ton of paid time off. Haven't even been here 2 years yet, and I get 24 vacation days per year on top of holiday and sick/personal days.

After months of research here and there, I am booked for the following trips. Note, I have also bought a crossbow (Excalibur Vortex to expand my hunting). Going to give NJ a try this October 2011 hunting with the crossbow for the first time. Going to hunt State Forest land for Deer. DIY hunt. 1st week of Nov. 2011 - Again with the Crossbow. Semi-Guided 6 day Deer hunt in Clearfield County Pennsylvania. November/December 2011 - my normal shotgun hunting for deer, and then crossbow in late season. December 26,2011 - Jan. 1 2012 - 5 day guided Bobcat hunt in Northern Minnesota with shotgun. March 17, 2012 - March 24, 2012 - 6 day guided Wolf hunt in Northern Ontario, Canada with rifle. 1st week of October 2012 - 5 day Mule Deer/Antelope Combo hunt with rifle in Buffalo, Wyoming. Then possibly, the whole NJ/PA/NY deer thing again in Fall 2012.

what does the hair on those deer look so bad? its not smoothe at all like a normal deer I usually see in the woods.

and heres a 154 and change, 9 pointer from Michigan also. I think a previous poster is correct...probably 126 and change, not 162...probably just a typo.

great buck, great mount....definitely not 162 though. This is my 156 7/8 from Michigan (11 pointer) for reference.

I dont get it....I checked out the website and you buy birds? Can't you just hunt birds/ducks/etc for free? Im not a duck or bird hunter, so maybe I just dont get the concept?

agreed....he has done most of the work in my thread under "trophy room"

in regards to the backtrack, backtrack 3 & 5, by Bushnell right? I read soem reviews saying they didnt have service or whatever in heavy woods....think they'd be ok in the Moshanon State Forest in North Central PA? It's not the rocky mountains lol.

Anybody have any advice for getting a GPS to use for hunting? I never used one or owned one before. I am not looking to spend $300-$400 on one. Basically, just want something pretty basic but works. I really just want it to save where I parked my car, so I am asure to get back to it. I will be using in a big State Forest in PA, and a State Forest in NJ. My thinking is that I can save my parked car as a "waypoint"? and then walk into the woods and hunt, and know I can get back to my car, ok. Thanks in advance.

Miami/South Beach with my girlfriend in May for 5 days. 1 of the days going out with her and a guide for peacock bass in the canals. Lake George in July, Lake Trout with a guide. NJ in October for Deer with the crossbow. PA 10/30 - 11/6 for Deer with the crossbow. Staying in NY all of November/early December for shotgun and late crossbow season for deer. Minnesota 12/26 - 1/1 on a Bobcat Hunt.

Nah, I haven't.......I will be buying a crossbow soon though....going to try NJ early October, then going to PA 10/30 - 11/6, then have the shotgun season here in NY, then do xbow in late NYS season.....Maybe 4 bucks this year? haha........I only have 5 in my life so far.
