Sal and Eric. I'm sorry I do have to work tomorrow. I apoligize for any inconvenience. I was working /not working. This morning we got the go ahead. I really want to meet up with you guys down by you. Look up Sweet Water Hollow on the NJ LandTrust Site. I hunted there years back. Bow only. It was a nice piece. That's something to look into also. Hacklebarney State Park is another nice spot. I used to hunt that around Pottersville off 206 North off 287. We WILL get togeter . One more Saturday CORRECT?

It would be a good place during the week Sal Just walk the power lines look for runs Left side of the power lines were always better but close to the houses could be productive as well. Good Luck to you and Eric!Let us know how you make out!

Do you really think we need to walk in that early? I was thinking if I was at your house around 5:30, we should be good.

I just printed out the paperwork for Sweet Hollow if you want to check that out tomorrow too.

Still no bow...hopefully tomorrow. But I did get a dozen shafts today to keep me busy while I wait.

I said 5 AM if others where coming... Since it is just Us... 5:30 am I'll be ready... stand & pack is ready.. I just sharpened my arrow points...I'll see you at 5:30 AM then Eric... remember how to get here?

fyrfyter43 · « **Reply #487 on:** February 01, 2008, 06:59:00 PM »

I think so. Just keep an eye out for me.

I guess I'll be getting up early to pack, since everything is out in the shed, and it's pouring out.

Will do.I'll see you in the morning.

I'm gonna send you a PM with my number, since I don't think I ever gave it to you.

Eric & I set out this morning to mild temps with a nice breeze. The light coming over the mountain was out of this world. ( Wish I had my camera ) As the sun started to peek over the mountains the nice breeze turned in to a steady 1 to 2 mph hitting me in the back, not good. I then started to move to the other side of the ridge. I then started to follow a nice rub line. Mean while Eric was still sitting on his tree seat and (He'll have to finish). I walked for a bit then sat down and did it all over again. This went on for about 3 hrs & followed one after another rub line spanning over 200 yards. I found a lot of nice spots. We didn't see any deer, Still a great morning. Around 10:30 - 11:00 am we then went to check out Sweet Hollow Preserve. We only walked one spot of it, but really looks good .. Not because we came up on 3 wood'n stands & 5 metal ladder stands. This area is Bow hunting only.

Next Saturday we are going to check out the other part of Sweet Hollow Preserve. As we where driving around to find the bigger area of the Preserve, we came across 20 hen turkeys walking just off the road in someones wood lot/home.

Like I said it was a Great Day

Just got back from spending the afternoon with Larry and his son Andrew. We had a good supply of blunts and judos with us hoping to stir up some rabbits or squirrels. No shot taken up on Wildcat Ridge but we sure had some fun. Scouted some nice areas along the powerline that I think I'll have to allocate some time to next deer season. Thanks Larry I can't say that enough. I enjoyed your company in the woods and I look forward to hunting over there with you again.

Hey Vaughn,

Any time you want to come back and hunt with me is ok with me. We enjoyed being out with you today.I think Andrew will sleep like a rock tonight after getting all that good fresh air and doing all that walking. Thank you for making the trip.

We found some interesting areas to try for deer. I can't wait till fall already!

I was up there in the morning with the .36 flintlock for squirrel, really tough but I managed one. It was really cold and windy so the squirrels weren't active. Winter squirrels are spooky in those open woods given all the other animals that try to eat them both on the ground and from the air.

Was the dirt road closed due to ice when you guys got there? Was this morning but I went around the barrier, road was a sheet of ice and most of the trees had a nice coating of ice on them.

Glad you folks had a great day. It isn't about killin' is it? GO GIANTS!!!!!!!

**DONOTDELETE** · « **Reply #496 on:** February 02, 2008, 10:55:00 PM »

Killing is something you choice to do at times... Go New England ... Because My Eagles didn't make it...

Recurve50LBS · « **Reply #497 on:** February 03, 2008, 01:42:00 PM »

Mike the barrier was up but we drove around it like you did. We walked several areas but saw no squirrels. Glad you got one with your smoke pole. Your right Tom, it isn't about killin. Mostly enjoying the outdoors with your family and friends.

Come on Sal you could at least root for the NFC Team......Go Giants !!!!!!!

**DONOTDELETE** · « **Reply #498 on:** February 03, 2008, 02:02:00 PM »

I can't stand NYG,Dallas or Washington... the onlt time I'll pull for one of those teams is when the play one of the others that has a better win/lose.

MikeC · « **Reply #499 on:** February 03, 2008, 03:34:00 PM »

Larry,

Not sure where you guys walked but I walked past the powerlines and off to the left a bit all down hill where I came upon a swampy area with small boulders all over the place and two little creeks run. Posted signs and a house up on top of a hill. Looks like a great spot to hunt deer but the drag out would be nearly impossible for all except maybe Mr. America.

What time did you get there? I was back at my truck around 10:00.
