Gill-T

Used to go to Nipising every year but heading up to North Bay on a two lane road with all the population growth in Ontario turned a long drive into a nitemare. Added restrictions and making the walleye opener later killed our Memorial Day tradition. Oh well, we just learned how to fish Oneida, Chautauqua, and Erie. Business and growth is booming in Ontario....they don’t miss us Americans.

I can’t believe Capt Vince hasn’t put a picture of his Canadian Buck up on this bragging board.

Ya that steep gulley needs a name.

Looks like a nice southern tier deer camp you have there Chris.

Seems like it should have a name.

Your kid's soccer net makes for a horrible ground blind.........just saying'

Sure would serve well on spring browns eh Ken? You would be hard pressed to find a better deal in Canada.

Nice buck Dan.

Evolution has a way of weeding out the weak. Life is very much a game of playing the percentages. We make choices every day that keep us safe or put us at risk.....turning left at an intersection at rush hour with a yellow light turning red comes to mind. Those of us that have been driving awhile know the dangers of such a scenario as many cars will blow thru the red light and t-bone you. With a car accident you probably walk away from it.......a bullet??.......I don’t want to play those odds. The buck I shot opening day passed behind me sitting on the ground (while wearing orange) at 5 yards.

Mink, in my case I identified my target as a large man wearing brown Carhart and correctly identified him as an idiot and not a deer. You would probably be safe with me in the woods but the "other" guy with poor eyesight.......not so much. Listen to the DEC video posted above.....someone shot a brown pick up truck because he thought is was a deer!! Hunt state land and listen to how early or how late people shoot before/past legal hunting time.

Agreed scary. When I was a young hunter I put a scope on a guy wearing full brown Carhart walking thru heavy brush. Shook me up. People are still ignorant about deer being colorblind. I routinely have deer within 5-10 yards of me sitting on the ground while wearing an orange camo vest.

Despite a few incidents, glad hunting accidents down. Can’t believe that woman walking her dog was shot at 5:30! I think the greatest cause of decreasing accidents in NY is opening up areas to rifle hunting. Buy a rifle - you put a scope on it - you have a high power scope, you can better identify your target.

Yes lots of deer feeders and Mountain Lions near Mendon.

Misdemeanor let me know if you want some ideas for state land hunts. I fill as many tags as I want/have hunting state land mostly.
