G-Man

Last day , best buck for the oldest member of camp, his personal best from 55 years of hunting! one of my.personal personal goals this year was to get him a chance.. bonus on drive I took buck as well but it had shed its horns..

Yep got one today had dropped this week sometime pericles almost healed over

Li like to see one for region 9 meet ups... just sayin

Imo the pellets are part of the issue, they do not completely fill the board and will create a ring of unburned powder. you basically make a mini pipe bomb every time they are used. Second issue is pellets do not let you get any where near the maximum efficiency losses powder does. I can raise the impact of my muzzleloader 1 inch at a time simply by adding 5 grains of powder. A true benefit on a non scoped gun with fixed sights and easier than blowing powder out the barrel and trying to adjust scope. You should hear sharp crack with no flame or excessive smoke if your shooting the correct amount of powder.. some of my guns perform with 85 grains ,115, 95, and 55.. all combination impossible with pellet that may vary 5 to 9 grains per pellet.. shooting correct amount of powder will eliminate the ring of powder that you encountered while sighting in trying to load bullet.

Drives. Jump.a buck and you know where it lives.. keep in mind for future years hunts.

Prefect example of themain problem with antler restrictions in high hunter densities. The best ,most potential 1.5 year old bucks will be shot as they meet the requirements. Soon all sub bucks will pass on their sub par horn and you will have giant 4 and 6pt dominant in the woods as they are untouchable..

Hit a tree instead of the buck tonight..I'll be here till muzzleloader as my.vacation is coming to an end..

Will be a bad year next year.. best years are after poor season success especially when weather forces some to stay home. Lot taken this year already means less for next year..sick of people complaining about everyone else getting big bucks and wanting 1 buck rule and ars.. gets worse every year. Be happy for others success and stop pressuring yourself, enjoy the show nature provides..

Amazingly done with out mandatory state ar....

Another reason I dont like them...wonder if he will ever use one again..... https://www.newyorkupstate.com/outdoors/2019/11/dec-forest-rangers-others-rescue-deer-hunter-hanging-by-his-feet-in-tree-stand.html

Thanks for all the Birthday wishes!!

Over 300 plus acres .. could use about 10 more

Know the feeling running 19 cams at the moment

I'd still go with the lever

Almost got shot on the big 10 pt, by himself came across neighbors wood 200 yards to 35 40 yards then circled down wind around 60 yards out. To thick.. ... still some time left.. ..

Nice I get my 2 sealed tomorrow I weigh the big female then looks about same as yours.. 18 to 20 was my guess

Yes booted soon if not already.

Hope to get a few young hunters into spots where they will see and have an opportunity at a doe or buck. Fortunately all the youngins got doe permits. For myself.. idk not.really in mood to shoot anything. Season is so long......

1895 guide gun topped with a 2 to 10x leupold scope with hornady 350.grain reloads. Taken many deer and bear. My favorite gun!

Guy that moved to iowa that hunted with us for years use to make a 9 layer lasagna on sunday before monday opener... took him all day too boil sauce down ...wish it was still mondays....and he didnt move away...

Strip steak,mashed or boiled salt potatoes,green beans, pie for dessert

Our hunting numbers continue to dwindle.. https://buffalonews.com/2019/11/12/the-lost-hunting-season-western-new-yorks-diminishing-hunting-culture-in-five-charts/

They make sticks for that.. hands are too valuable....

I would guess liver.. you must of got.quite a bit of snow I only.for 2 or 3 inches.. body lump would stick out and crows find dead things quickly

I have had good luck with mine, a few years ago they had issue with collars opening premature or not at all. The new ones correct this, perhaps you have an old bad set..I tend to buy new every year as I dont reuse them and a deer or two and a smaller game the 3 have need to be replaced..
