Came back early from my ADK trip to work, joy!   Great time with the guys.  Congratulations to Dominick for getting his first ADK buck, the only one taken out of Moose River so far this year, according to the Ranger.  Stories of a brute 12 point roaming the area had us in high hopes but I never found his tracks.  No snow again makes this area very hard to hunt as usual.  This was Dominick's 2nd year with us and he took the deer around noon and it was his first day!  Awesome trip!  My buddy Mike with his red war pain looks like a bad tan job, and my green war paint make me look like a horrible hulk, lol.  Meet some old friends and had lots of fun!  Buddy Shawn was the lucky hunter who got to help with the drag, left side of picture with me.

It was a good time, wish I could have stayed longer.  Shot was 15 yards with a 30-06, and people wonder why I use a 44 Mag.  Not that you can't use the 30-06 but many times it just seems most shots are close.  Overall a great trip with some good success.  I think we now have a new permanent member in the hunting club!  I think this was his second deer.

I did not see any chasing or indication that the rut was in full swing.  But I was told a buck was chasing a doe the week before so just because I did not see it does not mean it is not happening!  I would imagine it is on up their now.

      Reclaimed Wood Pedestals
      By stabe710
      Guys,
       
      I make and sell taxidermy pedestals made from a special reclaimed hemlock. This reclaimed wood is very unique showing a lot of grains and knots that give the pedestals a one of a kind look. If anyone is interested in purchasing a pedestal please give me a call or shoot me an email. 
      Thank You,
      Jonathan Stabe

      Buck at licking branch
      By Buckstopshere
      Kind of cool, looking back through last fall's archived trail cam shots. Back in November, I got a text from a hunting buddy saying a landowner saw a buck standing in the middle of the road in the sunlight, around 10 am. Obviously, in love. Luckily, I had a trail cam on a zip-tied overhanging branch not far away. So I drove there, pulled the card, and sent a photo of the buck to the landowner. He ID'ed it and said it was the buck...5 point, no brow tines, tips of tines broken from fighting already. That buck hit that scrape no more than 10 minutes after it crossed the road. I never got a photo of the buck before or since. To me it shows as the rut progresses, bucks get the urge to move more and more in the daylight and ...late morning is potentially as good as early morning on the stand when they are on their feet.

      Junkyard, roman-nosed buck pesters an 8 pt. until he gets driven off. He will have nasty attitude next year with real antlers. I pity some of the other bucks in the group. He's going to drive them crazy.

      Dominant Buck in my area. Help
      By vrettosjames
      Hello everyone! 
      This past weekend, I was in the woods doing a little walking around with another hunting buddy, and stumbled upon a Massive Rub. (take a look at the pic). During the early and mid bow season, i snapped about 300 pictures of various 4 pters, 6 ptrs, and 2 really impressive 8 ptrs. (see second pic). So far this gun season, we have taken 3 small bucks (2 spikes, and 1 4 ptr)  off the property. (new hunters wanted their first deer, i know i know let em grow....) The other big deer are NO WHERE to be seen. MY guess is that this rub that i found is from the big boy, and he is pushing everything else off the property. 
      The rub is located in a Hard-to-get-to spot deep in the woods overlooking a tight funnel, with a stream about 200 yards away. 
       
      My question is: How do I go about finding this guy? what are some of your tactics in getting him to show up? I've been in the woods every weekend for the past 8 weeks, and havent confirmed seeing him except on the camera in August. The third pic is right in front of where the rub is. Just passed the first row of trees, is a stream that runs through the border of my property. 
      HELP PLEASE!
