More expensive guns don't getya more deer.

I understood that any meat market, butcher shop, or any other type of processor' that sells any other type of meat to the public, cannot process deer in the same building. Is this true? A chinese fast food take out place in WNY was closed down for processing deer in their kitchen a few years back

Always BO during gun season. Our old vest were faded, not showing up as they use to, so I bought everyone new Seculsion 3D this year.

To me, the season has really gone by fast. Heck, still have one tree stand to put up. Guess might as well wait till next year now. Still out for bow- muzzle. Usually this time of the year, we see no deer or large groups. This years a little different, we're still counting 1- 3 at a time and not as nockternal as their still working food sources. Might be the mild weather. Maybe, harvest numbers are down?

WNYBuckHunter, from what I understand, Butler Creek covers were cheapen a few years ago. Their quality went way down according to some of the reviews. My son just snapped one off his gun last night. We have the plastic type, complete junk. Steve863, Kind of agree with U, but they do keep the lenses clean when not in use. Mine are open right now.

Got a nice new scope this year for the muzzleloader as a gift. Put on a new set of Butler Creek flip open, scope covers, which lets say had a high failure rate, allready. What does everyone use, and how do u like?

Could you imagine if all 3 were made into full mounts.. What a conversation piece, of coarse,a rather large room would have been needed.

This all sounds well and good, but lets be real here. A certain amount of people have a limited amount of time for hunting, and just want to get their deer. They don't care about deer numbers or management in that area. It's nice to think that their is a lot of deer management out there, a small percentage, I agree, but on a large scale, it not happening.

We have to all remember how DEC positions are filled. Who they represent when the seat is filled. They have several intrests that are considered. The sportman fit in there somewhere.

We don't really know how accurate the story has been written for news(entertainment purposes). How much is fact in that story? Elk had escaped from a zoo- preserve. Two elk were shot by hunters, and reported to DEC. I'm not one to pass judgement to quickly.

Stay on his tracks

Buy the new gun and keep the 870. They are a super, fun, trouble free gun. Nothing wrong with having 2 shotguns. Besides, when you want a change in pace, you'll want to switch back to the 870.

We have the same on brighter days, but last night( rainy, darker), deer came in at 4:27p.m.. The darker days seem to alter the nocturnal thing, and it might have to do with the food sources this time of the year too. We moved trail cams twice already, since the main breeding. Put on new scrapes and rubs that are showing up. They have change their pattern twice, since last week. It will change more when snow stays on the ground.

A lot of hunters slow down this time of the year, but it is a great time to be out. Bucks and does are making and working new scrapes. New rubs have surfaced. Chasing and breeding is in full bore again. This time of the year is the most sucessful for us. The season is flying by fast. Get out there and hunt. ( So deer climb trees, do they fly?

Would of never believed it, if not for the pics. Had one about 10 feet in front of me on a dead limb once, but never that close. The fermented grapes idea sounds right, but I know I don't think of perching on ladder steps when I've had to many fermented grapes, lol.

Lost picture so added here. Attach this file always gets me.

My son harvested this buck on 12-1-11. Came barreling in from the woods to check out some larger doe fawns in one of our wheat fields. He put the scope on him at 20 yards. Heart lung shot, deer went 30 yards and ended up leaning against a tree. His left hind leg had a bullet hole through it, but was healing. He has great luck this time of the year. He hasn't seen a buck all gun season, but when he does, he gets it done. We really want to take a doe or two, but he showed up and was 8 of larger. Really proud pops here.

A prototype broadhead is being tested for 2012. I understand it has a 2.3 inch cutting diameter, heavier blades, and a new shock collar design, to replace the o-ring. It's a more effective mechanical then ever offered before.

Gonna be a nice conversation piece to say the least. It deserves to be entered in N.Y.B.B.C. record book. Hope the story shows up.

That a beauty. Any more info?

Congrats to your uncle. Hope he posts the story. Remember, opinions on this site are just that.

Haven't seen a buck since opening day, so decided to bleat a few goes with the old Primos can. A 4 pt popped out of the woods, to the wheat field and started feeding. At 4;51 ( 4:43 sunset) the thickets started moving. Eleven doe fawns and does surfaced. The little 8 came from 148 yds to my right and walked in front of my stand at bow range. They all fed in the field together with a few fawns running around. At last light, another , what I believe to be a buck came in. and started sparring with the little 8. There's no rutting going on here right now, but within the week, all indications are for it to start back up. You got to be in the right spots right now to see the numbers we are seeing. Seen to be on green grass alot right now for the carbs. Corn always pulls them in here too, but not like the grasses this year.

The problem is with these type of people, is unless they are knocked down a notch, they will continue to do it. His actions show this, as he has no respect for the law meaning. I would have called law enforcement right away. I would have no second thoughts on what you did. It was the right thing.

Little breezy this morning here. Someone had to get a deer very badly, early this morning. Two shots went off at 6:28 A.M.. Yesterday was so so in the A.M. Normal shots fired. The afternoon, deer came in, at 4:15, passed on an 8 at 62 yds. Happy with the pass, looking for something a little bigger. Seen a few others . Watched a doe work a scrape, had a shooter come a little later, working the same scrape, out of range.
