Hey Andy, does that mean I should keep hunting? .

Thanks for the offer Ray, I don't get down that way very often but hey have a Merry Christmas and a great New Year. Mike.

Cam-man. go to the fish and game recipes for smoked jerky,I think you can do it in your oven,just don't dry it to long.

Nice healthy looking doe,well use to be healthy doe.

Cam-man, I can't help you with the smoking and curing, sorry. Send me a MP on that buck, haven't heard about it. Mike.

Hey Camoman, did you get a new computer? If you know someone with a slicer just put a hunk off ven. in the freezer till it stiffens up and slice if up and pull it into smaller pieces .On a good season I slice a hole deer. This year it tag soup for me. .

Nice buck, my first one was a 7pt with patch and ball. can't beat the old smoke pole.

WTG Ray you the man, Oh your brother too.

Don't feel like your alone, I haven't seen a deer since the gun season opened. Theres plenty of deer around, there using a cloaking device. . or darkness. We need some steady cold and snow to get them moving.

Looks like I'm not the only one not seeing deer,I haven't seen a deer since the gun season opened and I'm hunting private land. Jakeybabey, Nice going with the bow and BP.

The hunters dog stepped on the gun in the bow of the boat and it discharged hitting the hunter in the butt. The doctor patched him up with Fix-a-flat.

Trouthunter, I've been shooting the power belts through my 50cal.TC Renegade with iron sights and got 3-4" groups at 100yds. I'm going to try the belts through the 45cal. and the Hornady Sabots with 100grians of 333seven and see what happens. Nice eating deer .

WTG, That little buck is going to eat a lot better than the 12pt you think you want next.

Back in the 90s on thanksgiving afternoon we just drove a small woodlot and were heading for the truck when I spotted a doe coming out into a cut corn lot and shortly after a nice 12pt jumped the fence got his leg cough in it and went ass over tea kettle in a heap, you can tell where his mind was. watching them with the glasses I kept seeing another buck in the background . My son and his buddy were going to try and get around behind them and I stayed where I was. Shortly a doe ran past me and stopped about 25yds away,an other doe came out,no it was a spike buck, good size with 12in. spikes and mounted the doe, I had the scope on him but I didn't shoot, I turned back to the run they came from and I could hear the big guy coming grunting all the way but the spike had his way with her. Maybe it was just a warm up for her. We look at the spike to be the lesser deer but she saw things differently. . This season I think ThanksGiving was the main rut give or take a day or two. Last season the end of BP season I was lining the sights up on a nice doe running on three legs, thought I'd do her a favor before the dogs did when a nice 8pt. came running up the hill to check her out and went back down the hill and out of sight. The season before on the last day of BP I watched a good buck, 8or10pt. chase a doe into a corn lot and mount her right in front of God and everyone. I'd say the 30day second rut is right on.I also saw where a buck was putting in scrapes in two foot of snow at the end of gun season witch was most likely a year with a early rut.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!! MIKE.

Themes some good looking perch . gone a-try Tuesday .

I tried something different yesterday, went out late, got in my blind at 9am till 2pm. At 12:oo I had a nice 8pt. come in behind me out in the hay lot. He had a nice high rack, I had a small window to shoot through so I stopped him but I didn't get the shot before he beat feet. About 10min. latter I heard two buck below me banging horns, it didn't last long. I still haven't seem a small deer this season. One more try in the morning. Be safe sat. good luck. .

WTG.

Nice shot.

I think this is one for Ray K.

Reel Doc What area did you get him at.maybe 3 seasons ago I watched a very small buck tracking a hot doe, she had about a 10min.start on him, he came through the hedge row and past me, he had a fork on the left and a spike on the right that grow out and down the side of his face. He circled nose to the ground and walked up to within a foot of me turned and walk away. He was seen the next season about a .5mile away, outside of Honeoye Falls. He barely came up to my crotch .

Kappy, I've got a conduit sled I pull mine on, its great till the snow gets to deep.

I was told by a local last Sunday that the perch were hitting on the east shore at the town of Volouis on rt 414. look for boats in the bay.Sliders are a paddle tail crappy size soft bait. Google Sliders.Find school anchor off to the side quietly and cast to the perch.Good luck. I got this info. from a fishermen on Ice shanty.com due to hight price of gas I didn't get to try it .

Ya Kappy,to seasons ago we started out on Sodus from Davenports after they got 3ft,of snow, we only got about 300yds and quit, coming back we all most called 911 to come and get us. . Nice talking to you at the launch yesterday Doug.
