  1. Well it's 35 degrees warmer than it was yesterday. Expecting an inch of snow today then freezing rain. Where I live along the eastern shore of Lake Ontario we get what's called lake effect snow. Expecting up to 2 feet of the white stuff Friday.
  2. Adrenaline affects everyone differently. We had a kid who used to get so hyped up he couldn't even tell us which way he was shooting. Typical conversation, Us: Sully, was that you who shot? Sully: Yup Us: Where was the deer when you shot at it? Sully: I don't know Then started the 20-30 minute grid search for blood
  3. Merry Christmas to my entire Realtree family!
  4. Merry Christmas Lynn & Nellie! Good to see you back!
  5. Well my season ended Tuesday. Put in one more try with the muzzleloader. Near the end of the day a nice 2.5 year old 8 point skirted me. I took crack at him and a sapling jumped out in front of me and committed suicide for the buck. Oh well, that's the way it goes some times. Have a merry and blessed Christmas guys!!
  6. Things I have that I consider trophies. The 9" beard from a hen I got A coyote pelt that hangs in my man cave because both my kids were with me. Some wing feathers from my daughters first duck. Plus some from my son's first duck A 5 point rack that I never would have gotten without the help from my brother and dad. The tail from a black squirrel. The fan hanging in my garage because it was the first one I ever killed on my own property. Like Luke said. It's all in the eye of the beer holder.
  7. Congrats Al on another big buck. Our gun season ends Tuesday then 5 days of ML season. Then it's all over for another year. Got a nice 10 pointer running the property. I'm hoping to put him in my sights this weekend.
  8. It's been the strangest deer season that I can remember and I've seen 37 of them. The bucks are rutting but they are leaving little sign hardly any tree rubs or scraps. Usually they are everywhere. I've never seen anything like it.
  9. Hi everyone! Our big opening week is over. Had record cold temperatures that limited how much we got out for a few days. I have nothing to upgrade with yet but my son dropped the hammer on his first deer then another. Four deer came through and he decided to fill both of his doe permits. I'm very proud of him, took only two shots and both deer piled up within sight. They weren't the biggest deer on the hill but I told him he could shoot whatever he wanted. He told me that he had a chance at an 8 point earlier but didn't have a clean shot so he passed on it. Once again very proud of my little man.
  10. Wow Al that is a great buck!! Congrats!! Our gun season opens tomorrow. My first priority will be getting my son his first buck but I will upgrade if the right buck comes by. Good luck everyone!!
  11. Good to see you back here Dan! Good luck this season!!
  12. Congrats Frank!! He's a great buck!!
  13. Congrats teammate! Great buck!!
  14. Hi everyone! Been hunting hard with little to no rut activity in my area. Been hunting here for 30+ years and have never ever seen anything like this. Should be peak rut and I have yet to find a scrape. normally my treestand is surrounded by them. I did finally have a 4 point chase a doe by my stand. It was fun to watch. 30 minutes later this 6 point came by to see what all the fuss was about. He looked good to me so I let him have it. 11 more points for team 4. Gun season starts soon so I'm going to learn some new property this weekend with my son. It will be his first deer season and I couldn't be more excited. Congratulations to Al!! That's a dandy buck! Don, thanks for sharing the video, very cool.
  15. Great shot on the coyote!! I hate them things. I will be in the woods tonight and for the next few days. Waiting for the rut to kick in here. I've seen two pencil thin spikes but no big'uns yet. Waiting for the neighbor to cut his corn then things will bust open. Good luck everyone!
  16. As they said in the movie Midway, "Scratch one flat top". I put a dry doe in the freezer. I'm not going to enter it just yet. I have 2 months of deer season left to go and several more does. I will keep her in reserve unless something keeps me from deer hunting.
  17. They movie clip at the end, what movie is it from??
  18. Good to see you back Al. Some of us are still here.
