We were hunting out in Yaak Montana (the same place where Tom from Mountain Men on discovery is from) population about 14 and 60 miles from anywhere else with nobody to call and hit one. It was late at night and he was still alive so we didn’t know what to do. Wouldn’t you know there was one of those giant mailboxes you could fit about 6 weeks worth of mail in 100 yards up the road so we put him in there and closed it so he wouldn’t be hobbling around the middle of the road. Found a fish and wildlife guy the next morning out making his rounds and brought him to the mailbox and much to our surprise the door was still shut but no owl. We still laugh about what might have happened but I’m guessing with where we were whoever’s mail box that was had more than turkey for thanksgiving.

I know my uncle shot one in Montana about 10 years ago that fish and wildlife out there aged at 9.5 the taxidermist tried to put it on a plaque and the shoulders were outside of the edges. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Today I’m thankful for someone (who doesn’t have permission to be here) building a nice little blind and leaving a lawn chair in one of my favorite powerline spots up here. Now i just need one of the 15 big bucks in the whole Adirondack Park to walk by. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Awesome buck congrats Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

How old do you think he is now? I was thinking 2.5 with the little bit bottley nose still. I’d imagine he’d be hard to pass next year Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Congrats to your son Rob. Im up at my grandfathers in the Adirondacks for thanksgiving we have about 150 acres to hunt here surrounded by state land right at the bottom of the hill behind his house is all thick pines and swamp so I waited for the thanksgiving day drives to conclude and just headed out to still hunt that area. Figured I’d keep it traditional Adirondack hunting for thanksgiving and brought along my 1932 model 99 .300 savage. I learned a long time ago from an old guy out in Montana that you can always tell a 99 from the ADKs because the blueing is worn down on the receiver from long walks in the woods and mine is no different.

Figured I’d share this pic and story since it just came up on Facebook (and since i don’t have any new stories to tell lol). 10 years ago today i killed my first deer in Yaak Montana, 13 years old. My dads buddy that I’m with in this picture (not known for being the greatest shot) had shot the twin about 5 minutes before came over the radio and told us he’d hit a buck, after his second or third shot we stood up to go help him and this deer came running by. My uncle grunted and he came right back to about 40 yards staring right at us. I remember like it was yesterday watching my crosshairs circling around his chest and pulling the trigger to “lead” my excitement. Deer flipped over backwards and ran about 20 yards.

Congrats everyone. Bucks are moving this morning. I just missed a nice maybe 2.5 year old 8 with my car by about 2 inches 100 yards from work. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Awesome first buck congrats to him Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I feel your pain. I had a bunch of stuff to get together before heading back home so I didn’t go out this morning. Went to set a camera at the spot I sat yesterday morning and almost went to this morning. My cousins had gone around the property checking for trespassers on their Gator at about 9 they said. At 10 when I was down there about 100 yards from where I sat yesterday there was a huge buck track on top of the tire track of the gator. After spending some time hunting with and doing a lot of listening to Tom Blais who used to hunt with the Benoit’s and was their cameraman for years I’m not sure if it was a huge buck but I can say it was a mature older deer for sure.

Zero for me tonight too today definitely goes down in the “days that sucked” category Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Nice one Congrats! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Just got out of the woods changing it up to a different spot. On the walk out bumped a doe and small buck out of some thick stuff about 300 yards behind the house, only deer I saw all day. Almost shot the doe but figured she was locked down with that little buck I should let her breed and hope she makes it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Anyone know how deer react to starlings? I know they’re annoying me, never knew how much noise a flock of those things could make Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
