  1. So how did ur season go? I used to hunt in Cumberland... Great woods, I sure do miss it.
  2. I was icefishing today in northern NY.. 12* is really cold... Eyes on my pole were freezeing constantly.. Had good luck caught bout a dozen sunfish 3 crappies and 1 nice smally.. seen alot of pike being caught too... didnt fish to long considering the forcasters predicted different temps than what actually was, and i wasnt dressed properly. gonna go back in the AM !

  10. WICKED!!!! Congrats to the lucky hunter, what was the weight on that cow?
  11. Very nice buck indeed.... CONGRATS!
  12. I've never had a negative issue, just a too much damage issue. You hit a bone and these bullets are devistating. I dont like shoulder shots because it ruins the fronts and parts of the backstraps. I dont know if we can post semi graphic photos but I got one picture from today of the guts hanging partially out. The bullet hit a rib and just made a softball size hole for the exit! I went from a 168gr to 150gr hoping there would be less mess. Oh forgot to mention. its for a 30.06
  13. we got to Cambridge on the 5th and hunted 6 days straight. I saw over 100 deer and seen many nice bucks chasing. I missed first morning, my buddies all missed once also. It got frustrating after the first 3 days, they wouldnt stop. Payed no attention to anything but that purdy tail infront of them. One thing I did notice is that the coyotes are rediculous, 3 times I had doe in the field and they we pushed out by the dogs. The last night I hunted I had a huge 7 point, busted off G3 40yrds from me and dam dogs chased him and doe out again! I would say we hit the rut on the nose...
  14. ill be down friday night. hunting guernsey too. cant wait to see the rut. missed it last year by a week. hopefully this year is cooler.
  15. We Need snow... then its push city!!! It gonna snow friday they say... I cant wait!:hammer1:
  16. the time has finally come... A long 5 month wait and now I get the chance.. A bunch of guys and I are heading down to Ohio in hopes that we all get a nice Ohio buck... I'll make sure to bring back pics
  17. I'll be out Saturday also.... Just outside Zanesville.... from what im hearing its not total mayhem right now... I've seen a few around here in CNY doggin does so its anyday i guess.
  18. I've seen that pic posted a many sites and everyone is claiming to be a friend of a family member.... PA, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio..... Geeze talk about a bunch of Liars out there!
  19. Clock is ticking and just over a week to go...
  20. I think this year was a better year at the end of the season for me. I didnt get to harvest a doe or buck, but it wasnt that i didnt have the chances. Just couldnt capitalize on em... Hard to shoot deer when your sleeping.... Any1 have those problems...lol.. (just happened once) People I talked to all said it was a very productive year.. The snow helped i think for Southern Zone...
  21. Wow, thats awesome but still aint gonna help. There are way to many animal rights folks out there to throw a wrench in that kinda situation. There is an area south of where I live that has a plethera of anti-hunters and tree huggers. I dont know if you guys herd of Ithaca NY, yep thats the town that makes me sick. cayuga heights I think is part of the area where deer are ungodly over populated. There are areas that have been posted and are concidered forever wild. You guys have no clue how mad I get when I have to work in those areas and see all these people buying up that land and doing this.
  22. That is an awesome situation. I seen the video on you tube. Man those bucks are monsters.
  23. scent blocker without a doubt! I own many scent blocker suits, all of them have helped me over the last few years to stay scent free. I dont know if any1 else had read an article but I thought it was funny that 3 guys were trying to sue scent lok for there product being a sham... I dont know what they were really thinking.. I find it funny. Doubt that will go anywhere. The article was in a PA news magazine.
  24. rocky buck stalkers 1600grams thinsulate. I call em my moon boots
