cOMON NICK ITS CHRISTMAS DONT YA NEED SOME SPARE MONEY MORE THAN A SPARE CANOE AND MOTER.

The referral to urban deer is that they are pushed from the big woods nearer to populated areas ,thats why some who hunt less remote areas see more deer. the 228 valley in odessa ny has a heard of deer so small and spooky a friend of mine who hunts nearly every day has not filled any of his tags ,tho he did let 9 bucks walk in bow season,,so again their there but very,very,sparce and the dog tracks are everywhere in that valley,,,today their is several "lost dogs" in the local paper , a coon hound or beagle was the norm in the past but now ,lots of people are posting "lost dogs"and cats. ...and their not the hunting breeds. I miss the days of watching deer wander without a care other than hunters, I could of shot many deer this year so its not that i dont see them , its just the challange of the big one,and the time spent alone in the woods with my "brothern bear" ..........and chipmonks.

5 days man the doors.... dont sleep on the job....this wasnt a bash tom just a representation!! (notice the really bumpy conditions anyone would get sea sick in those conditions!!!!)

comon jax we know whhat ya want ,pinkflamingo and ,cindy.........

BUMP

well after 40 years huntin the same 3 spots its a fer shure the herd is way down ,,yes cars take there share but have ya noticed how many more deer get hit latley?? then in a day the carcase is gone.hmm,also when is the last time ya seen 1 doe just wandering alone eating???hmmmmm,yesterday in one of my honey holes i saw 14 doe,and 2 bucks 4 and a 8pt.to get to this spot you have to cross a river by canoe,hike about 1 hr straight up to get to this spot,to do this i put all my jackets in a backpack and spare shirt by the time i get to the top im totally soaked even 35 lbs lighter ,and thats going slower than normal speed trying to be a little quiet....today i sat from dark to dark cept for a get down stalk to warm up a bit about noon ,i saw 4 doe down over the hill feeding,then i went back to the oaks 80 yds the other way from my stand to see if the deer were in their at all last nite,,well i found 5 huge sets of tracks and 3 smaller sets ................ all coyotes trust me their ant another hunter dumb enuf to go through what i have to to get to that spot and the lack of hunter tracks in the snow prove it,, it is with 100% cerenty that the dogs are putting a major hurtin on the deer , now bobcats (big ones) are a common track to find also, this is just 1 pack in 1 area i bet they go through a deer every 2 or 3 days in this cold weather,,call me nuts ,dig deep and find reports from the dec that coyotes dont pack up,,try to convince me that they dont hunt the deer along roads where the deer are forced from the big woods for safty, also have ya noticed the rise in urban deer latley,,,???? im shure the 60 permits a year the farm at the bottom of the hill is issued has its impack but before the dogs arrived in numbers the herd was still ok in fact there were lots of bucks in those woods ,,this year i havent seen 10 diff bucks,havent seen any limping deer (other than the day it was hit)..tha farmers do there part with good cause fig 100 deer at 5 lbs of corn a day and there profits on the corn shrinks every day...From some one who spends 40 pluss days a year in the woods hunting their is a lot more killin the deer than the average hunter sees.

ohio,i shot it

MOM Nick is teasing me again!!!

wouldnt call it a favorite but a cool shot of the toronto skyline.

The Big Birthday of the year is upon us. Many call it Christmas,Some use this time to show themselfs in Church for the second time of the year (Easter too)..And thats OK, in the sence that a little is better than none. Its a story thats been told for 2009 years of the Birth Of Jesus...As anyone who knows me knows I ant The bible bashing type nor do i roll down the isle during service, but my FAITH has helped in some needy times ,Comforted me in down times , and Guided me in some lost times...Im shure many of us are in the same boat as me(not the buffy part) of tuff times on money ,but to many in this country "WE Got It Made", so remember "The Kettle",,,(forget the bell ),,slip a food gift certifacate to a needy family,,,Walk around with a smile for the week or longer(everyone will wonder what your up to),,Dont Bash MUSKYBOB (till after Christmas), Open a door for a stranger and say "Merry Christmas", Ok you get the drill ,another words lets all do are part at least for the week,and if ya like the results Keep it up!!!(cept the merryChristmas line in may might get ya some strange looks)... We are A Family Here , maybe only connected by a series of "1"s and "0"s (Binary system),but none the less a family... SO TO ALL A GOOD DAY AND ALL A GOOD NIGHT !!

Ah ,"I LOVE THE SMELL OF FISH SLIME IN THE MORNING" (or was that napalm). Its called a challange "OVERTAKE OVERCOME" sometimes I have to "ADAPT TO THE SURRONDINGS", if what i have doesent work then i "IMPROVISE" at the "END OF THE DAY" the deck is bloody ,the surface of the water is red with blood,and i can drive home with the "PEACE OF MIND " that i did my part on the enemy for that day..............................BUT for now I gotta go wipe out every deer in "SECTOR" 8Y..............HIT THE DECK INCOMING!!!!

I like a little driftwood in the background.,foreground ,overhead,under....oh heck im a driftwood fanatic...NOW!!

I use a 6 lb rigger weight with my copper..makes a great thumper setup for 600 ft of water.....UT OH the light bulb just went off im respooling my downriggers with copper ,,,no more reeling in by hand

Gettin outa my range.....!!!!!!!!!!!!next item...

YOU GUYS ARE BRUTAL..$2.40 LETS SEE YOU CHEEPWADS TOP THAT!!!

DONT KNOW $2.30KEEP BIDDING !

son of a gun ...ok $2.00

Ill start out this bidding process $1.00

kingslam 99.9% of the time your right but when the rut is on ive walked to within 20 yds of a smasher buck with a doe ,it was on posted land and i was on the road he never moved till the doe got up and ran,30 years ago i probly would of got the gun out, but after all the poaching (tresspassing) on the land i hunt ,and hearing stories of how people got their "big one" and had them mounted too i could never say with pride ......"check out the one i got last year" .....

put it on the back of the boat................hey wait if its on the front thats one less thing to net around..

i agree the guy who said the score is kinda a bs er ,,mine taken 2 yrs earlier was 131 and only a 8 pt so i think if this is a good 8 its definatly a 150 plus the kid holding it is kinda big 5 ft 10 260 lbs but i need to see it or better pics before i give it a shoot from the hip score

Using a alberta clipper or roamer liberator is another way for a fixed slider then if ya wanna play games run a free slider in the mix (the tangle game) sometimes when im hunting (looking for fish) ill run this rig usually 1 fish (tangle) will get ya back to reality ...but when your alone its a good way to get 6 lures down with 2 rods ,I just keep a couple back up rods ready to deploy while i fix the mess ,but it ant always that bad usually 5 min and your ready to go (1 min with a sharp knife)
