Got this guy on Sunday at 1:30 in the afternoon. He was following a few does behind some small bucks. I have trail cam pics of him from last year and this year, but it is the 1st time I actually saw him. I was happy to see the buck I was after show up. I've been fortunate to have a very good 2017 season. I'm now trying to get a doe with my 6 year olds in tow. Good luck to all.

Here's a story.... Friday before gun season, this Dairy farmer comes over to the camp I stay at. He Says " Well boys, its an end of an era. I bought the property. You guys are out. I will be a nice guy and allow you to get your stands." I call him on the fact he hasn't closed on the property yet ( only been for sale 2 weeks) and he has zero legal right to post it or kick us out. The guy looks around the camp and says "Well guys this used to be a nice camp....I don't want any trouble to happen...know what I mean?" I'm about to jump off the couch at this point... We ask the guy to leave.... My buddies tell me its not worth it...and they don't want any issues with the locals. Before the guy left he said there was an agreement between the landowners and him...and he sent them money already.... We called the landowner and they did have a verbal agreement, but hadn't received any payment..
Sooo.... The quest for a lease or possible land purchase starts.

Misdemeanor - You are a better man than me. That is a crappy way for that guy to handle the situation.

 

 

Karma...

I missed out on some land this year.  It was land I had hunted all my life and had excellent potential for QDM.  the Executor of the estate had some ridiculous issue which I still am not sure of with my family and wouldn't sell to me even though I was willing to offer more $$ and less hassle.  The feeling wasn't good but I always look at things from the perspective that things happen for a reason and the only constant in life is change.  The glass half full is that it is sold to a couple neighbors on the other side who practice qdm so I know they will treat it right and its their taxes - not mine.  I will get by.

So gun season for me has been pretty deflating.  I actually got excited last evening because I got to pass on my first deer of the season.  I don't like to shoot fawns - especially buck fawns.  I will hold onto my tags til muzzy if I have to...

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.

Freakin cats are all over NY now! I know several very reputable people who have pics on their cams, well I don’t but I know a guy who knows them and he’s reputable too!
