    A Sassafras tree. Are those the ones that smell like root beer? I don't have the nerve to ask for pics, lol.

    Sadly, I believe the youth hunt is the DECs start to get gun In archery season. It's been stated that archers don't harvest near enough deer in some WMUs, at least what DEC wants harvested. The goal, I believe ,is to get an early muzzleloader season in early southern zone archery. This is the only regret to an early youth season, opens the door, and I really don't want that door opened.

    Body wise, he looks in better health too. That drop tine by his right ear is unique. One nice animal.

    Starting to read this thread, I expected to see pics of him 2012. It really great that u took that attitude. Some hunters would be all po. Been nicer on your wall, but hey; u got pics and at least Mr. Cotter found him. Any idea what he scored?

    Never thought hunting pigeon was such a popular sport. Thanks for all the replies. Took the 20 ga. out a few evenings. Almost forgot to replace the turkey choke . They hovered over the wheat field, but were very shy come in gun range, like they knew. Had a lot of morning doves kooing at me. Seem to have a flood of black birds. Think their still eating army worms. Hum, wonder how they taste? Using pheasant load. Maybe we'll get a crack at'em another. Was great to get a gun in hand since turkey.

    No matter how bad I wanted a deer, never would I take that kind of shot. However, a farmer friend always shot them in the head, always tines, no matter how big, but he never missed. Like the picture quality.Those Coverts sure take nice pics. Hay looks good in those pics.

    The amazing thing about that doe, she only had 42 lbs of meat, neck meat included, deboned. Had so much fat, and mixed in with the meat. Fatty most doe I've ever done up. She was prepared for a hard winter,lol. Maybe her age made that. I dislike processing does.

    The way this years going, with everything a month ahead or better. I'd say flipping a coin will give you as good a choice. It might be snowing on Holloween To me, with the way this years going, all bets are off. I'd hate to be in your position with the choice, u have to make, but for what it's worth, good luck.

    One word- family. The memories will last a lift time. Your kids grow up so quickly. Enjoy the hunting experiences with them. I am so glad, I did. It does make a big difference with them when they grow up, believe me. I applause people taking their kids afield. I know your enjoying every minute of it, and they are too.

    Wouldn't anyone call the law right away? Get a report on file in case any problems down the road. Let law enforcement handle. It's their job.

    Looks goods. Corn depends if it sweet or field. Some short growing day sweet, don't get much taller. If it's field, it stunted, and will, most likely have nubs for ears. Their are some newer hybrids, that get maybe 6' to top of tassel though. Are the deer foraging the corn? The deer here use to eats the leaves right done to centers.

    All looks very good. A lot of work there. Very lucky to have apples. Trees here are very spotty.

    Fine looking crops. Did a nice job, and it shows. My second cutting hay look sick. Grasses all dead. 3 acre clover from frost seeding, 3".brown. Deer are hammering last years plant wheat, that's left from army worm. Pumpkins dead. A little frustrating, dry summers, bugs. Maybe things will green, seeing got an inch rainfall. Going to shoot for fall plantings, hope for the best. Shipped in a new 66' rotary tiller, that's gotta help.

    A deer that size is far more, than one person wanted to handle. Get a deer 200 lb. on the hoof, believe me, much nicer handling with two or more. Also terrain, slash'ins makes a huge difference. Oh, prefer dragg'in the big boy out. Of coarse. Had 164 lb doe, which we didn't mind dragg'in last either.

    Very interesting video. We've know the height theory for quite a few years, less spooking deer. Found this out, quite by accident. We always try to install cameras a least 6'., some farms, 10'., also for security reasons. Don't have to worry about scent so much. The video part makes sense, but doesn't it use film card space more rapidly,and shortens battery life?

    Talking chicken- Here a strange thing. Not a sitting hen this year. Young, middle aged, old. Didn't hatch one chick. Never happened before. Blame it on the year? Gona have to call Murray- McMurray.

    The way our local store looks here, say their on the verge of being sold, just opinion though. When u see the inventory cards go up off season, then u know.

    We like the final phase, Nov 28- Dec7, the big buck harvest stage, lol.
  21. landtracdeerhunter
    I'm really interested in the spring harvest data 2012. Expect harvest #s to drop low here. But the big guy I saw 2 days ago lifted my spirits.
  22. landtracdeerhunter
    Welcome aboard.. Indeed, their are some nice ones, smart ones here too. Good luck with your adventure. It's an enjoyable ride.
  23. landtracdeerhunter
    The DEC. states their are high numbers, as well as low numbers in NYS, all could be in the same WMU.. They complete a 4 year management plan in 2009? turkey survey plan.htm
  24. landtracdeerhunter
    Some very interesting points brought up, all good ones. Very strong arguements. Makes me wonder how 1000 hunters can make the determination for the whole hunting community. They lean towards the majority, but 1000 hunters at 20 meetings ,come on. Out of all of the 100s of thousand of hunting licenses sold in NY, Then they do a scientific survey, this decides the fate of the 5 year deer plan, OMG. Oh and the 30 day comment period, someone reads them and tosses in the garbage.
