  1. Seems like it should have a name.
  2. Pull the same as dipsys.
  3. In that case you don't want deer feeding near the road, plant more evergreens. You will help keep poacher-eyes out of your deer fields if you screen the road view in with two layers of pines.
  4. Need more details on time of year you plan on coming up. Time of year and water temp will dictate how we fish.
  5. Hinge cut your less $ trees. It will screen in naturally. Deer will feed on blackberry brambles all winter. Deer don't get any nutrition from evergreens only thermal cover. It sounds like you have that covered on your farm already.
  6. Your kid's soccer net makes for a horrible ground blind.........just saying'
  7. Sure would serve well on spring browns eh Ken? You would be hard pressed to find a better deal in Canada.
  8. But I thought if you shoot them with a rage, they drop every time?
  9. Nice buck Dan.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Yes lots of deer feeders and Mountain Lions near Mendon.
  15. 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.
  16. Fingerlakes spoon Browns along shore in spring Walleyes on Erie Steelhead offshore
  17. Pick up your bow. Change the game.
  18. RD9, I know you fish mostly Erie......knowing where the fleet is definitely would help to know where the Walleyes are.
  19. Wow. Very hard to get to 140” with eight points but that bad boy looks over.
  20. Nice buck and story. I wonder if the buck wore his hooves bad from rut chasing? I have seen similar.
  21. Get him aged. It might be 4.5 looking at it’s face. Nice buck for anyone.
  22. She is a beauty!
  23. That wound does not look that old. Was the meat green around it? Was there any stink or puss? If not, it might be only a few days old. The Whitetail's clotting factors work amazingly well.
  24. Got to love recycled bloody arrows.
