  1. Hey Everybody! This is my first contest so I'm really excited! I'll be hunting VT rifle (11/10 - 11/25) and NY Northern Zone rifle (10/20 - 12/2) for a buck. I also applied for a special shotgun season in Southern NY (1/7 - 1/27) which would allow me to take either gender. There are some really high herd concentration areas down there so I hope I get that permit! I've gotten some scouting done close to home and my gear's in order now just gotta sight in the rifle. Our weather in the NE has been great compared to a lot of the country, had a dry spell early in the summer, but late summer was plenty wet. Mast crop looks to be good. Weather has been great past few weeks cool at night, we've had a couple frosts already. Good luck everyone, be safe! PS: Late comers sounds good!
  2. Last call for the deer contest sign-ups I'm in, thanks Redkneck!
  3. Really awesome! Looks great! Agree with others, a bit of foliage in there would look good, but not to much.
  4. I think there is room for one more on team8........correct? I posted up in the signup thread, I think it looks like there is room.....? Will be deer hunting more than ever this year, which is not a lot compared to most of the other guys. lol! I only rifle hunt right now so my season is fairly short, I'd hate to slow the team down...
  5. Room for 1 more still on Team 8? If So... The Bug House 38 Vermont (Nov 10 - 25) NYS (Northern Zone Oct20 - Dec 9) If not, good luck to everyone!
  6. Hope everything works out for you.
  7. I had something similar happen to me while turkey hunting. Still dark, setup against an overgrown stone wall with my eyes closed and a little bird lands right on my face! My RT leafy hood works like a champ. Sure got my heartrate up!
  8. I agree that an unhealthy sports obsession is no good, but I think that the positive lessons (Sportsmanship, Teamwork, Physical fitness, Discipline) outweigh the negatives. As far as causing cultural demise, pro sports come in way behind the likes of the Kardasians, Lindsay Lohans, Paris Hilton's, honeybobo's and about a million other dummy's that somehow pollute every media form with their inconsequential nonsense.
  9. NHL hockey I don't think it's looking good for this season. Luckily I've been able to go to several D1 college games a season.
  10. home Welcome back to the lower 48! Hope you're feeling good, and better every day.
  11. Yup....hard frost yesterday morning. Was out early scouting, then went to my buddies land to hang a stand. Shot some squirrels while we were out as well. Left the house at 29° and rose to 55° within a few hours, leaves are turning fast!
  12. Noticed a sign at the Rod & Gun Club yesterday. Unfortunately the website has the wrong dates and no activities listed. Your clubs activities look GREAT!!

    Bored

    Bored Nope!!!! Lol! Been working nights for the last few months, glad I'm off tonight but it's boring with the family sleeping!
  14. Hunting in the rain. One of the experienced guys here (I forget who) told me once "The only way to guarantee not shooting anything, is not to go out" lol! I've seen lots of wildlife while hiking/camping in the rain.
  15. I guess there is really only one way to find out.....I'm just not one for conspiracy theories.
  16. Frost advisory here for the next 2 nights it looks like, Freeze Warning up at the camp tonight! "Lows in the mid 20's"
  17. I never tenderized venisom like that before, but I'm going to try that this year for sure! Also......now I'm hungry! lol!
  18. Venison loin wrapped in cobb smoked bacon on the grill is my favorite.
  19. ETA: The song itself is mild at best and completely benign.
  20. Agree with wtnhunt, way to much legal leverage on his side for him to have been canned just for writing the song. According to this report he was fired for obtaining parents emails from the school system, which also sounds like weak reasoning to me. LiveLeak.com - Coach Says He Was Fired Because Of Anti-Obama Song I'd wager this was a personal vendetta by an uppity board member or admin. It's unfortunate that this sort of half-baked rhetoric incites such hysterical paranoia:
  21. Cute girls MH!! My two have very similar dresses and are about the same age!! lol
