  1. Got done raking hay with a temp of 93 degrees in the shade at 1 o'clock. Heat index has to be 100. Is the rest of the state sizzling?
  2. The sweet garlic relish and pickles are good on venson burger.
  3. If their's a 140, 8 point or larger; a 130 pound babyless doe all within range, I will shoot the 140 any day of the week to fill my buck tag, if given a good shot and in season, of coarse. I will shoot the doe, if the buck isn't a sure thing, to fill a doe tag. All this is heavily dependent of my attitude for the day. I let smaller younger bucks walk by, observing them. This is why deer hunting is pretty dam inportant, to me. Now, fire away.
  4. Wooly, on a serious note now; are you surprised to see that many bucks in your area? The winter kill numbers looked to be pretty high there. Of coarse' only the strong survive.
  5. The crossbow certificate in the hunting guide is nothing more than a liability sign off for New York state.
  6. Our reds and whites are loaded. Now if it doesn't drought so they fall off prematurely.
  7. Fancy Woodshed. Bet that fire will feel good with all that dry wood on a cold winters night.
  8. Ozone levels are elevated today and tomorrow. Thursday back to average temps. First few weeks of August look to be below normal temps., as the jets team sinks south of us, similar to last winters pattern. Jet stream, these androids have a mind f their own, LOL.
  9. I miss the days of watching a good bird dog work a pheasant in the wild. Then, capitalizing on the effort. There's nothing else like it. So pheasant hunting would have to top the list. Deer & Turkey has taken it's place and filled the void over the years rather nicely. I do so enjoy the time afield. I get lost in the moment. I would hope that some day pheasants could return to the wild.
  10. "So a crossbow is still considered a firearm in New York with the muzzleloader privilege license required to hunt with one.
  11. Bottle some of this heat up for release in January and February.
  12. I'm new here. What's a profile view?
  13. Been using it for years. Remember, decomposing organic material will use nitrogen, then release it on completion. Some call it "antler Dirt" Weed, grass, and legume seeds will regrow, including those that were digested.
  14. Heavy wild crop of apples with the deer claiming the drops. little worried about the limbs for the weight. Bracing will be needed.b
  15. First week of turkey season, finding turkey egg shells in the favorite turkey nesting spots. Counted 21 poults with 2 hens yesterday. Quite a few poults for two hens. May have missed a hen. Starting to use their summertime roosting spot. Largest numbers ever here. Excited and can't wait to get some pics. Worked on habitat improvement here, for several years. I would hope something I've done has helped. Not taking any credit yet though.
  16. Earn A Buck programs work. Shot a doe to receive a buck tag. Use of check in stations. More cost associated with this program. Most likely the reason why NY. Won't use this method.
  17. Their was legislation introduced in Albany changing the required muzzleloader license to bow hunting privalage. Two sponser s to the bill. I don't know the outcome of this. I don't seem to be able to post the link due to Next book. Personally, I think a crossbow safety coarse with crossbow license should be adopted.
  18. No set plan. Just play it by ear and enjoy the season. Hope everyone else enjoys their deer season, as well !
  19. Turkeys like to come into my hay field after the. 1st cuttings been harvested. They clean up a number of grasshoppers and late frogs. They also eat the young red clover.
  20. Frankly, I don't put any faith in what the DEC. Implements when it is politically motivated.
  21. This will surely upset a lot of people!
