The lost art of still hunting
eaglemountainman replied to Northcountryman's topic in Big Woods Hunting
All good advice. If you think you're moving slow, slow down. Lose the sling. Hunt with the sun at your back. Always, stop near a tree or sapling to use as a rest. If conditions are dry and noisy, or crusty snow, move when the wind blows. Be still when it doesn't. It's great if you can hunt into the wind, but if I did that where I hunt, I'd walk in a 60 foot circle all day. I do use milkweed fluff to stay aware or the wind however. A couple/few times a day, in an area that looks especially promising, I'll take a seat on a rock or log for a 1/2 hour or so to stretch my back out. It also gives my eyes a bit of a break and I feel fresher when I continue on. Been hunting like this my whole life. My dad and gramp taught me how. I may not see game everyday, but I have a great time every time I go out. And I have been very successful at it. Wouldn't hunt in the eastern woods any other way unless there was fresh snow on the ground. -
Thanks, Al. I was very confident in that particular 99F out to 350, though I much prefer not to shoot game beyond 300. That goat was getting mighty close to the limit. This past summer I spent three days in Pa. with a group of Savage 1895/1899/99 collectors. There were all kinds of variants present, and I got to shoot quite a few of them or witness them being shot. I don't recall a single one that didn't impress me with it's accuracy.

KUIU Gear
eaglemountainman replied to UpStateRedNeck's topic in Hunting Gear Reviews and Gear Discussions
After losing a bunch of weight, I needed to buy all new hunting gear. I looked at Sitka, Kuiu, First Lite and Pnuma. That wasn't happening. I ended up going with Kryptek gear. I bought three different weight pants and two jacket combos, plus a vest, a packable puffy and a few of their other pieces for layering no matter the conditions. From cool early season to single digits, I should be good to go. It's light weight, has excellent warmth to weight component, seems exceptionally well made and I didn't have to ransom one of my grandkids for it. Not wanting to sound like a fan boy here. I just posted up for those who might be looking but weren't aware of this option. -
Browning Wasp. I've had the same bow since around '72

Since I'm retired, I can take all of it. I'll probably head out from Florida and get to camp by 11/10. I'll stay till the end of muzzleloader season.

I'm thinkin' 2.5. His body hasn't filled out yet, and he has no belly sag.

The guys in my club come to camp only on weekends. I drive up for the entire season from Fl, and so I have the place all to myself all week long in between their short stays. They always ask me, " Isn't it lonely up here all week, alone? ". I always reply that, I might be alone, but I'm never lonely. I love the solitude of being the only one on the mountain and in camp. My wife suspects that I might be a sociopath. There might be some truth to that. I do admit to deeply missing my dad and grampa, but in reality, they're with me every time I step in the woods.

Initially, I thought you meant spiritually, because that is how I feel whenever I'm successful. Very glad I was wrong. I miss those cherished moments with my dad and grampa. Wish you many more years with your dad.

I know, but that one is very large and inverted from any I've seen.

Oh yeah, he'll do. He's got an unusually large white chest V. And it seems to be opposite of norm.

Hunting Leases - Southern Tier

Jeremy K, take him up on that invite. There are few things in life as special, to my mind at least, as being part of a good deer camp every year. -

Log back in to the DEC site and work your way back to the, "Licenses and Priviledges", page. There will be a column on the left of the page. Scroll down to where it says, "Previous DMP Selection". It will show your 2019 and all previous years. Good Luck.

Don't know your specific setup, but the Any Angle seat can even be placed on a horizontal log.
