I am so excited :campfire:
Thanks to Izzy who generously donated this hunt to the St Jude I will be hunting squirrels in September.
I am thinking of using my regular GT trads, with VPAs small game upfront. What do you think?

I hear that New York squirrels can be pretty cantankerous; Hillary and Schumer are two examples, not to mention Anthony Weiner. Be careful down there!
-
Good snag on the hunt!
Izzy is good folks so you are guaranteed to have a great time!

I always carry my big bowie when in the woods :readit: :campfire:
Amazingly enough, squirrels are considered fut bearers in Ontario and Quebec, so they can just be trapped

We all expect pictures and stories of those P&Y squirrels :biglaugh: !!
Sounds like a grand time!

They are on my squirrel food plots heavy now and should be pushing 2 lbs a piece by september.
-
And those fish that are a part of the package???? They look similar to these, only fatter from a summer of good eating. :readit: (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/IMG_20140603_150756818-1.jpg) (http://s122.photobucket.com/user/2crazyboys_photos/media/IMG_20140603_150756818-1.jpg.html)

Manny, Better us those Big Jim Broadheads :readit: ;)

These are from the waters we will fish and were caught during an early school dismissal last week. If we kill enough squirrels we can use some as bait on the bad boys.

TTT skwerl season is a comin.

What ever amount of arrows you planned on bringing bring 1/2 as many more...
Idk about where you from but ticks are bad, bad here in pa. Idk about ny but I would soak my pants in sawyers.
-
I was at the farm just 2 days ago hanging stands and not a single tick. They haven't been an issue in much of the area this summer for some reason. Jackson treed a couple big squirrels and the woods were full of them.
-
That's great! Ticks kinda keep me out of the woods more theses days as it's that bad.
Be sure and post up lots of pics for us. Good luck!!
-
I can't wait!
I'll have a dozen arras ready for this hunt!
:campfire:

Cant wait to see the pics!
-
Manny, those Orange arrows you have would look good with Squirrel on them :readit: ;)
-
I threw some new cards on the table for my Canadian bud. Bigger cards! :readit:
Call me any time tomorrow Manny. Not pushing you either way but I got blessings from my other landowner as well. :campfire:
-
Izzy, if you and Frenchy want to take a night of bowfishing or smallmouth fishing on the Hudson with me the invitation is open. Just let me know the dates you want to go.
-
Wow!
The squirrels suddenly got bigger!
I am starting day dreaming of wide necked whitetails...
Can't wait!

Thanks for the invite Terry. We'll see what happens.
-
OK Boys Squirrel season has arrived!
I am excited for you. Good Luck!
-
Ive seen more bear sign in my home area than ever before. Some good tracks and they are open in almost all of my areas Mr. Manny. Things could get very interesting. :pray:
-
Very happy to see you guys get together for a hunt finally. Excellent times to come for sure ! :campfire:

Mr. Manny,,,, I hung a stand at the top of this hill today. Guess who's gonna be sitting it soon? If this pic doesn't clearly show the activity on the trail, you'll have to just wait til you get there. This is one of many.
The property we will be hunting was logged 3 years ago and its full of jewel weed and other greens and the deer are just everywhere. I can't wait! :jumper:
-
And if that one doesn't pan out, there is this one about 200 yards and across several ravines west . Pretty sure they're being used by totally different groups of deer. This one has a scrape at the top of this hill.

There are dozens more like it and half a dozen tree stands and more natural blind/ blow downs than you could hunt in a lifetime.

Hey wait... Might this turn into a deer/Bear hunt?
If so AWESOME!!!!

Manny I am scared for you to be in proximity of your B heads.
Izzy's place looks Great.
Have any Dates Been set?

Todays report from our alternate area: Seven doe, 5 turkeys spotted. Almost got run over by a group of 6 deer. I have it on video but can't figure out how to post one. Our prospects are delightful.
Squirrels may give us trouble. The mountain is crawling with them but a Hex head or two will silence them at least temporarily. :goldtooth:
-
:campfire: :coffee: Did this happen?????
-
More to come Ron, More to Come... you can count on that! :campfire: :archer2:

-
So they aren't hunting squirrels.....? :dunno:

We wound up doing more dripping that dragging. It rained hard and the wind blew harder. We saw a deer as soon as we arrived in the landowners side yard. I thought that was an omen of good luck but the rain picked up by the minute after we got out of the truck.
We sat through the rain and I walked through a bedding area hoping to send one Mannys way but to no avail.
We ate extremely well and drank some fine New York craft beer and laughed and talked until too late into the night. Manny got along just fine with my 90 something pound dog Jackson and had to share his bunk with him weather or not he wanted to (Sorry Manny I Had No Idea). l :rolleyes:
Hopefully this is the 1st of many hunts and you are always welcome to hunt with me.
Thanks forth bid and it was my pleasure to share my home and a hunt with you.
Back to work this morning and the deer sure are moving, next time we'll do better with planning.
-
Sounds like great Camaraderie. I know the weather wasn't great for bow hunting but sounds like you made the best of it. :thumbsup:
-
It was a great hunt, and an even better time with a brother from South of the border!
Can't wait to do it again!
Thank you Izzy
