Title: I am booked for a trophy hunt!
Post by: Frenchymanny on June 12, 2014, 06:03:00 PM
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!

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

Manny,

Izzy may not be the guy you remember.

Rumor has it he is growing his hair out to fit in at Hippie drum circles.   :readit:  

You should have a  great time regardless.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :campfire:

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.   (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/IMG_20140603_150844139.jpg) (http://s122.photobucket.com/user/2crazyboys_photos/media/IMG_20140603_150844139.jpg.html)

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.
Title: Re: I am booked for a trophy hunt!
Post by: Izzy on August 21, 2014, 08:10:00 AM
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.

Post by: RedShaft on August 21, 2014, 09:14:00 AM
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!!

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:

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:

Post by: Izzy on September 09, 2014, 08:02:00 PM
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.    (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/IMG_20140909_172548735.jpg) (http://s122.photobucket.com/user/2crazyboys_photos/media/IMG_20140909_172548735.jpg.html)


 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.

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:

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.
