  1. Got out late this morning. 6am.. Deer didn't show till 7:10. Still after the acorns after yesterdays wind. Not many on the ground that I see, but they are finding them under the leaves. Had a beauty of a 4 pt. with a large frame walk 30 some yards upwind. He acted like he didn't have a care in the world,. Would of shot him just for the 70 or so pounds of usable meat he was carring, if only he was an 8. Looked like only a 2 1/2 year old. Hope to find his sheds next March.
  2. They like to harvest shelled corn when the moisture content is 22% or less. Propane cost cut in pretty good on $3.71 a bushel corn over that. Also some combines tend to damage kernals more at higher moistures. The exception would be cob corn mix for the silo, where a higher moisture content is needed.
  3. My sons at one of our farms, where precip. stopped around 7. I'm at the other where it's rain- snow mix. He's seeing buck movement and other sittings. I'm drawing a blank. Came in to let thing simmer, then back out again when rain lets up.
  4. Sat all but 2 hours of daylight today. Deer moved early, before legal light, then around 1 oclock. Fawns, doe early. Nice buck came in at 100. Bump a beauty in the alfalfa field on the way in. Caught a good wif of his scent glands. Very strong smell. The hind legs, on the ones I've seen close are dark, right down to hoof.
  5. Sometimes, the number can grow right along with the antler size, LOL.
  6. Yeah, it's tough this time of year. All my spare times been in the field.
  7. Enjoy! The double nickle club is so much fun, LOL.
  8. Nice to see Long Island joining in on some of the fun, along with the rest of New York! No doubt, they have many areas to mature in there. Is getting a hunting spot difficult?
  9. Deer were out early, here this morning. Maybe, ahead of the rain.
  10. Another nice windy, mid day sit. Not 5 minutes on the stand, doe worked their way out of the thickets into two op shooting lanes. What better way to get a buck down front and center with live decoys. Nice little 4 pt. had to stop by to say hello, then moved towards the corn where, no doubt, to do some serious deer ho down. Deer are doing some serious mid day traveling. Don't miss it people!
  11. The propositions were on the back of the ballot. Wonder how many people forgot to vote on them? Was this done for a purpose?
  12. Just got back from voting. Had a line this late. They say it's been a good turnout.
  13. Did they discus how Cuomo giving a billion dollars to Buffalo, while cutting school districts money and raising school taxes for New York residents?
  14. Went back out for a few hours. Had a nice encounter with what we call Tall Tine 8. Came right out into the open, wind blowing away, nose to the ground, and grabbing 2 mouth full of clover before departing into the woods. He also shot some jelly beans out, LOL. Well, that still works. I shot at this guy, two years ago. Deflection caused the broadhead to hit him in the front leg. Nice to see he's still around.
  15. Someone bought software on price, not performance. This DECAL. system continues to spell Failure. Right on track where the rest of New York state is headed.
  16. Depends on wind conditions, as we have had our fair share this year. Ground sits sometimes give little more disadvantage as your scent will carry more to the ground. When elevated, your scent might tend to carry over the deer, and disperse more. Some food for thought.
  17. Polls are open till 9 pm. across the state. I'm taking the misses out for a t-bone dinner tomorrow, just so she can vote.
  18. Went and got 2- 8G at town hall 9:40 am. today. No waiting. Clerk confirmed system is still having problems. They were told there is still tags available for areas declined over the weekend. My tags had to be printed 3 times before got a usable set.
  19. Some great DIY information. You don't want to know what I typed the first time, LOL.
  20. Some great pics here, and on your web site too! I enjoy viewing them. Brings a smile every time.
