    You have purchased some of the best, richest land in New York state; if you can drain it. I could only wish for land like this. First a word of caution, Keep Fire Away. Once muck is on fire, it can burn for a long time. I have seen muck land burn underground for months , loosing several feet of soil. Nice thing about humus soils are their dry very quickly, in drying weather of coarse.I have seen muck with a foot of water over it in the morning, then pumped out and tractors working on it in the afternoon with the dust flying. Roots crops do the best on muck. I seen corn planted on it; big wind comes up and the corn tipping out by the roots. Lower growing crops are the best bet. What a score! Good luck with it.

    Sitting in a cut corn field with three antlerless deer. Snow is whipping in my face. Feels like sand stinging my eyes at times. Those deer are acting like no wind blowing at all. To young to takem, but sure is nice to see' em.

    What happen to the term Siberian Express? Cold weather = hunt the foods sources.

    It's funny how different it is across the state. We don't fire a shot for a week to ten days after Southern zone firearms season begins.

    I went out this morning armed with one of those fancy breakfast bagels, Paula"s donut, an orange ( for the healthy side) and a thermos of black pekoe tea. Watched the fawns in a very relaxed atmosphere. They were having breakfast as I. They moved on by 7:10; right about the time my thermos tipped over, spilling the goodness. Southern arms season ends what; about December 22nd, LOL.

    I like to plant things the neighbors (6, 7 mile radius) don't. On a lean nut and apple year like we just went through coupled with a 60 year drought; I had to come up with an offensive plan of attack; a quick growing salad bowl. We started getting the rains in mid August which really added the vitamins for a strong team. .Add I didn't need to deflate the ball to turn a potentially bad season into a clasic, LOL.

    We applied rule number 9 this past Monday afternoon; 12/5 on a mature doe.

    By time I get done going through all the meat with little to no fat and silver skin on it, the neck meat doesn't get as clean as i like to see it. Most likely the fat, a thin layer always forms at the top of the water.

    I have to cook neck meat in the crock pot outside. MY wife says it stinks up the house.

    The cough last for weeks.
  11. landtracdeerhunter
    LOL.
  12. landtracdeerhunter
    Everyone else give you advise; now it's my turn, LOL. If you live in an area where "you" think deer numbers deserve a rebound, don't shoot a doe.
  13. landtracdeerhunter
    I agree 100% about the season.
  14. landtracdeerhunter
    On my wont to do list is to make a smoker out of an older kitchen oven. Racks are already in place and just add the water soaked oak woodlets.

    We are taking our doe decoys, which has in storage for several years out this afternoon to see if this will shake things up a bit.

    The DEC.found the answer to your question with doe only areas in Lake Plains and 9F areas last year, during first two weeks of bow and muzzleloader season. Very few. Season is back to where it should be; thanks to the hunting community overwhelming strong support against.

    Saw deer a few minutes after 7 this morning when the wind dropped. Got hammered by a cold shower while coming up. Feels like the temps are falling. I overdressed yesterday and underdressed today, LOL.

    Deer were out of the corn field hours ago, Just sitting absorbing the day. You all should feel this beautiful sunshine on this last day of November. Enjoying the large flock of robins landing in the corn field along with morning doves and an occasional wood cock.
  19. landtracdeerhunter
    No way Niagara County has bucks that big, LOL.
  20. landtracdeerhunter
    I see that trailer on Day Road in Lockport .

    The chances of getting shot are there every time one ventures out hunting. I don't know the percentages, but it's there. Wearing hunter orange can only lower the percentage; that again, I don't know. how much, but surely the percentage lower significantly. With the shootings and deaths across the state this hunting season; lower that percentage for yourself, wear orange!

    Nice balmy sit on 11-28 eve. Seen some deer; watched squirrels caring ears of corn back to their nest. Still seeing morning doves and wood cock. Another mild years end like last year? This morning was a woods hunt. Great wind to get in quiet with. Reminded me of a May turkey hunt with the balmy weather continuing. Nothing this morning, but it sure felt great sitting there.
  23. landtracdeerhunter
    Nice frosty morning, SE breeze here also. So nice to have a more relaxed environment again. Most of the shoot'em up squad has gone back to work here. Now, we hunt!
  24. landtracdeerhunter
    Far better to loose a little deer hunting season than to live by a very limited diet and suffer through tons of agony . Just keep an eye for the nearest bathroom for a while till you find out what you can and can't eat. Fatty foods will be your worst enemy your future. Ex lax will never be needed again, LOL.

    We continued our tracking efforts several farms over. By the look of the blood where the deer first stopped, one would have thought that animal laid not far from the stop area. We had to do many half circles just to regain the dry blood on leaves and brush. We would find good blood, then down to barely a drop or two. I began to think a stomach or liver hit, but no evidence of bedding. We worked right up till dark, using blood tracking flashlights. We backed out just after dark, marking the spot well. My cousin, that shot the deer is about sick over the whole thing. I continue to regain his composure, and show him that when a deer is shot, give it all you got till every last ditch effort is exhausted. Will go back in the morning and hope that not to mach rainfall over night falls.
