Thats funny Chris...I'd love to see a kids face when something like that is handed to him:D. But it is something my 3 boys might likely see in the future:p But for Dads with Daughters...if you haven't heard this song, I think you'd like it. Very on topic.

Kris, I commend you for taking the time to introduce your Mom to hunting. Follow the advice above and it should be a good time for both. Were looking forward to the pics of Moms 1st deer. Good Luck to both of you.

Thats a lot of candles:D! Happy Birthday everyone.

Congrats Tim! Those does are tasty;)

Good Luck Tim Have a safe trip.

Big ole does fill freezers:D Congrats.

Congrats to you Cristina. Good going! and a BIG congrats to you William and Mrs wtnhunt too. Thats a nice doe.

I'm surprised Joe. I hope they make it right for you. The Gander Mtn we use is pretty good on exchange policies. Good Luck.

My wife always sends me to camp with about 5lbs of home made Aginettes...lemon drop cookies. Those cookies don't last 4 days:D

Very good. Dummy is right:D

I hoping to see him around too Joe:D

I agree completely.

Congrats! The 1st ones are always special. She will make good eating:)

Have you ever hunted Kansas before? Well...go then. The deer will be there when you get back. Go enjoy yourself and bag some birds:)

Wow, any childs loss of life is sad...That father...what he is feeling now. Jeez...Prayers out to that family. What a tragedy.

Welcome Brett to Realtree and dig right in...

In my local paper today. Not in my area but across the Hudson river. last month a cow moose was hit by several car on the interstate and killed. Now... A Cougar sighting. http://www.lohud.com/article/2008810270344

Welcome to the Realtree forums. Your a good man helping a friend get into the sport for minimum cost. Hey...you have a new hunting buddy now;)

Mine is a 95 K1500 Silverado 4X4 with a 5.0 that has 165,344 miles on it. Burns no oil and the tranny don't slip. Runs great.

I would fight it. Most likely there will be a plea bargain to settle the summons at a lesser fine. Thats at minimum, at best, thrown out. Take clear precise pictures and statements from witness'. I have fought many, living so close to and working in NYC, and if you take the time to fight it , you have a good chance of beating it. Good Luck

My condolences...Prayers to you and your family.

They look like Rage has finally perfected the less drag when opening, maximium expanding broadhead that does the job well. The slip cam seems to work well as opposed to the over the top type. Dang Chris...That is some buck...Congrats again pal.

There were a bunch of 1sts that happened with this hunt. Weds afternoon I get up to my deer camp in Sullivan county. I go out the next morning and freeze my cha chas off. It was 20 degrees I sat until 9am and went in. Didn't see a thing. I came back out at 2pm. At 5pm I hear rustling and 2 fawns come out to eat apples. 12 minutes later...2 mature doe step out and take the long way to the apple tree. I see them, I draw sitting down, searching with my lip for the kisser button through my mask... and I hold... waiting for them to get in my sight picture. They take the long way......15 yards...20 yards... they stop at 30 and start grooming themselves...I'm holding...I'm holding...One goes over to the fawns...I get a bead on the doe thats all alone. (I know she is a hair over 30 yards, I hit that spot with my rangefinder before... when I got set.) I settle my 30 yard pin on her chest...exhale, aim and let fly...She jumped the string a bit, but I hit her good and the arrow drove right up into her chest( she was slightly quartering while grooming) and she took off into the brush with the arrow buried to the fletch. I waited 20 minutes and it got dark on me. I came back the next morning with a neighbor. All I thought about was the coyotes in the area. We picked up the blood trail again the next moring, found my arrow and her intact. She ran uphill instead of left or right. Weird... This was a special deer to me and I have shot a bunch of doe with my bow... Why?... I consider a Sullivan county deer, as opposed to a Rockland county deer(where I live), to be a honest deer. They are less tolerant of human odor and intrusions. Know what it is like to be pursued by predators and really forage for a meal. Not have lush landscaping to hold them over in the harsh winter food periods and peoples yards to hide out in. This was the 1st time I ever had to leave a deer lay over night and recover it the next day...1st deer I killed in this stand also. AND... It was the longest shot I EVER killed anything with my bow. 33 yards. A big mature doe. There has been a lot of talk about Rage heads and the holes they make...Well take a look at the entrance Hole a 100gr Spitfire did. I'm sticking with my Spitfires:)

Heres my son Joe and I last week with his button buck. and me last July 4th having fun:D
