HAHA yeah I paid mine the check must have gotten lost in the mail :D

I love it :D

And next to your lawnmower with the christmas lights there are piles of bird seed to bait the squirrels out so you can shoot them for dinner!! (This might be normal in the country but he lives in the middle of the city : ) or... You hooked up with your present girlfriend as a result of a message on the wall of the mens' room at the Flying J Truck Stop. (Again This means you Darien!) :D:D:D

Awesome buck!!

Awesome buck, congrats.

Nice buck, congrats, looks like your grandfathers gun still works great!!

I would want something different than a vets arm for my last supper!!!

I use the Copper John Dead Nutz 2 micro and love it. I bought the micro which stands for micro adjustment so you can fine tune your sight. It also has a very bright orange ring around the outside of the sight which makes it easy to line up your peep sight and your sight the same every time. The pins I have are .19 and are very very bright with any type of light. If you can't see these pins then it is way way to dark for you to be shooting at anything anyways. It also has a level in the sight which allows you to make sure that you don't tilt your bow which can really mess up your shot placement. Really nice sight. Here is a pic.

Awesome thanks

Cool buck, and awesome to get him on the trail camera. Welcome.

You are right many people would have given up in that situation, I am glad that you did not and found your deer

Do you think this is because they have implemented AR's and are trying to grow bigger bucks?

Thanks Steve, great card!!

There are a lot of differnt view points on this, I have heard some say yes, human urine does affect deer movement and some say no it doesn't. There is no clear answer 100% one way or the other. I have heard of people and know people that could not get deer out of the woods without going to get help and pee'd next to the deer to keep coyotes away and it worked. I know it worked because it was very close to the den and heard them howling that night and they were very close to where the deer was, any other deer would have been eaten when the person got back with help. So there just might be a difference in human urine smell, I just don't know. The coyotes knew it was not the smell of the deer's urine. Also there are people that go out and have a few adult beverages, ok maybe alot of adult beverages (to clear this up I mean the night before they go hunting and have sobbered up for the hunt) or coffee or even some foods affect the smell of urine, what happens when you have that smell?? Deer don't usually recognize that smell. There are a lot of coffee drinkers on this forum that would say it does not, but there are some that say it would, I just am not willing to take that chance. I will let you keep doing the experiments, I don't find it a bother at all to carry a bottle in the woods.

I agree with William, I would still hunt for awhile, with all the snow in NY you might be able to get close enough to a deer to shhot one, just make sure the wind is right and then you can sit the last hour or so if you have warm enough clothes. You should be able to tell where the deer are going to be by the tracks in the snow. Or at least have a pretty good guess. Good luck.

1) What brand of scent control apparel are you familiar with? - ScentLok - ScentBlocker 2) What is the brand of scent control garment that you have purchased within the last year? - ScentLok 3) What was the main reason for your selection of this brand? - Brand name - Scent Control Performance - Recommendation of a friend or salesperson 4) What type of odor control are you most interested in? - Antimicrobial

You try that and let me know how it works, until I hear the results from your study I will continue using the practices that I believe work. If you want to pee in your woods I have no problem with that and if you feel that it works go ahead by all means. Call me stubborn if you would like I am ok with that : )

Not willing to take the chance and honestly if you have a 4 1/2 or 5 1/2 year old buck smell your urine from a distance you will never see him to know if you spooked him, in all my years of hunting I carry a bottle, everyone that hunts our property does.

That is awesome, congrats to your son!!

We have a lot of mature deer on our property and I am not willing to take that chance, ever!! I carry a bottle with me nd empty it at the end of the night if ti use it. No matter how many steps humans take they take enough scent with them when they go into the woods, I don't want to leave any extra when i am there. Just my .02 cents

Spunds like a lot of fun!! Congrats

You think someone took your deer??? Man that would really really upset me

Awesome story and a great buck!!

Congrats on your first buck, he is a nice buck!!

Congrats Casey, nice mature doe!!
