Legacy

Decided to go to a cut bean field. Just got settled in at 230 and first deer just walked out. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I plan to be back at it this pm. Trying to decide on cut corn, cut beans, or winter wheat???

Well between my kid's basketball tournament and getting some work done during this warm trend, hunting has been brought to a screaming halt. Good news is that it should leave my schedule open for muzzleloader season. It aint over yet!

Just thought I would share this customer service story... So as you guys have probably learned I have replaced all of my misc trail cameras with a dozen Browning cameras. I had one that one that was malfunctioning due to the IR not working. According to my pictures it just got worse and worse until it just stopped working all together resulting in dark pictures at night. I emailed Browning and of course their response was to send them the camera along with the receipt. I responded back to them stating that I didnt have a receipt. The customer service rep looked up the serial number on the camera and said "no problem, It is under warranty. Just send it in". Well a month later, I have a new camera in the mail. No screwing around. Love these cameras, love the customer service!

December 6 pm 30 degrees NW wind 10-15 Cloudy So to start the night the neighbor sat in the field 150 yards away and with the wind direction, blew any chance if deer coming from the SE corner out to me. ugh... Well... Walking out I had a bunch of does pop out of the woods. Followed close behind was a 2.5 year old buck bumping them. He seem to have a bit of a limp to him.

great picture

And even with the recent "great" king fishing on the west end we still have to rely on the offshore opportunities most of August and September. Steelhead during this time become an increasingly vital part of the catch. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

December 4 pm SW wind 10-15 mph Mostly cloudy Deer sign like crazy in the snow but no deer sightings. The snow doesnt lie. I know what they are doing and how they are getting there. I think i just need to get guys out of the woods and get the woods to settle down. Love to see these deer stop being so nocturnal. #bringonthelateseason Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Spend some more time at the range today. I bought a rest since the last time I shot. For the price you can't go wrong. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003FSQOTU?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Shot the savage 220 again. I just can't say how impressed I am with that setup. Shot the old muzzleloader just to make sure that was good to go in a pinch. I put another 12-15 rounds through the new muzzleloader. I increased the powder to 100 and I think I am happy enough with it to hunt late season. Elevation was an easy fix but windage was a bit sensitive. Every adjustment seem to over compensate. When I have more time I'd like to try a dozen rounds with 110 and also 120 grains. It's a slow learning process but I am getting there. And once again... Love the setup.

32. Local. He knew what he was doing. No blaze orange. No back tag. Crossing obvious posted property. Acts of a experienced trespasser and now poacher. Certainly far from an act of innocence. Certainly not something I would ever think of tolerating. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Wow! Where do I begin! Last Tuesday I past a buck because it was 30 minutes past sunset. Well tonight the conditions were perfect to go after that deer. I literally setup in the woods where I bumped him a week ago. About 420 or so I heard a gun shot within 100 yards of me. I text the neighbor and he tells me he is not hunting. I tell him he has a trespasser then. We agree to dispatch the DEC and to meet up. I pack up my gear, throw on my blaze orange, and start walking towards the shot. I circle around the woods and I notice a deer in my field flopping around. It's a hundred yards or so I call the neighbor and let him know I have a half dead deer in my field. It lifts its head and it looks to be a buck. I put glass on him and he's a mature buck. God damnit. I patiently wait for a poacher to approach the deer. Maybe five minutes or so and a hunter from the neighbors woods enters my field and puts another round into it. He notices me and calls out. I ignore him, start walking away, and call the neighbor. The snow doesn't lie. I head out to my truck as I don't want to spook the guy. DEC and the neighbor meet up and come in from the opposite direction. Once they are on site, I go grab my truck and drive in from my side. They find the guy with the deer on the neighbors property. The guy gets run through the ringer from the neighbor and tickets are issued. To make matters worse the trespasser shot the deer from the neighbors tree stand. The reason I mentioned the deer last week because I would be willing to bet it is the same damn deer. His left side is the tell. I am so glad we caught the guy but what a heart breaker. Just some local guy who thought it would be a good idea to go in there. Even though everything is posted up tighter than tight. By the sounds of it, it wasn't the first time he had been in there. Although he tried to convince the DEC otherwise he literally walked a straight line from his residence to the neighbors stand. Craziness... Here's a bad on site picture . Main frame 10. Stickers on g3 left side make him a 12. I'm literally sick to my stomach. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
