Steuben Jerry Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 This is in my daughter's back yard this morning. One after another, and there were three smaller following after these. Sorry for the quality, I think she took photos of her computer screen. All on the way to the feeder we bought her. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son in law joked that there are more feeders per square mile than deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard they dump corn by the pickup load, so I would believe that about feeders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, that is one high rack. Her early season starts 9/12, but you have to kill a doe first. She has never taken a doe and it reminded me of your preference when she says that.

dbHunterNY Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 NJ has some weird land. seems like it's unhuntable small stuff in neighborhoods or pretty deep into state forests. not much in between? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I went hiking in the woods behind their house with daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter on our first visit there last month. All they had was some lemony scented insect killer with deet, so we all put that on. We pulled two ticks of my wife that evening, and three embedded ones off of me the next day. Daughter wasn't feeling well a few days later, went to the Doc and got tested for Lyme and went on antibiotics. Test results came back last week positive for Lyme disease. Doc said she's fine though.

You know, down there and at a co-worker's old place in southeastern PA, they don't make a big deal out of it. It's more of a "don't be a big baby" thing. Weird, because I've read all about the long lasting effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got them a feeder for a housewarming gift. Bucks are just getting familiar with it from all of the other feeders in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t be this year, but I see an out of state tag or two for me in the future.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if it were my daughter We would be visiting her for Thanksgiving this year From what we’re learning, the nice bucks are all dead by then. They have a take a doe before a buck rule there and there is an early archery season starting in about a week or two. Local advice is get your doe in the early season so you’re not wasting time before all the best bucks get killed. Seems like people are getting their best deer in September/October, although you can hunt into January in NJ. Or at least that part of NJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lomax Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Maybe better go Trick or Treating time to get a crack at one them. I put some frosted Cheerios in that feeder and they will be bedding in her backyard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
