i'll have new trail cam pic's for ya tomorrow, hopefully Chucks buck made an apperance!

[joe skipp]

Don't worry Ken....Chucks more excited about getting a shot off at a black squirrel...  :eek:  

He also stated any turkeys that come by he'll try to push towards Stone Knifes son....I'd pay $10 to see the Woodchucker pushing a flock of turkeys towards Joe...Do ya think he can keep up with them?? LOL

[adkmountainken]

so many turkeys this year i would be very suprised if a 3 or 4 people don't get shots at them. MANY young ones, the sight of ole Chucker might just scare the youngins stone dead!

[woodchucker]

I'll chase them turkeys all over that mountain,just you watch me!!!!!

Now I'm not much for "taxidermy" mounts.....I have one mounted deer head and it's not even in my house(it's at my Dad's)the rest I just hang the horns on the wall,but if I whack one of them Black Squirrels the little bugger's gettin' mounted on a piece of chunk wood!!!!!

[adkmountainken]

ok bro, black squrriel rock or buck rock, where ya want to be????

[mcgroundstalker]

Hey Ken! Dosen't Chuck look like the Turkey Float in Macys' Thanksgiving Day Parade?         I'd think THAT would scare the peanuts out of 'em!

great hunt today, hot as all hell but great hunt. brother coyote sang to us on and off in the morning as well as a couple owls and hawks. i worked up a sweat getting to my stand let me tell ya! got settled down, relaxed and nocked and arrow. was just starting to breathe normal again from the hike and i look up to see a BIG deer workin its way towards me! i was thinking holy cow here comes Chucks buck as it was BIIIIIG! as it got closer i could see it was an extremly large doe with 2 more doe behind it. they were walkiing right towards me. with fingers tight to string i was thinking man the will be about 5 yards when they pass through, about the time i was thinking that the ole fat lady took a sharp right with the other to in tow, dam!! tails were flickering as they walked, not scared just happened to rake another trail. this was all at around 25-35 yards which is out of my comfort zone. as they walked away i got to see the last doe turn and bleat, what a sight!!! 3 adult does, bow in hand, hunting with a good friend on my favorite mountain, that is what its all about!
  Only a few pic's on the trail cam but here is one for Joe.   Joe meet Jake.

I'm not going to be able to get any work done this week. I feel like a 7 year old the week before Christmas. I'm even trying to be extra nice!
I can smell those leaves! The anticipation is harder than I expected.

A friend of mine just offered to let me hunt on his property here locally. A primo spot. I now have about 130 acres in 2 different spots within 5 minutes of my house to hunt. If anybody wants to come this way, let me know. There is lots of abandoned farm land around here. We have loads of deer.

Man ' I got lots of work to do , put tires on camper , check wheel bearrings , inspection , install heater. I best get at it or i'll be down to the last minute with her. Great story Ken , wish I was there now:0) Drew

[Stone Knife]

Nice story great bird, Drew we will have to get in touch this week for sure. I will be busy this week with my Mom but we will make the hunt for sure. I sure hope that turkey wants to pose like that at about 10 paces for Joe, I told him he cant hit a bull in the butt with a snow shovel     but I think he would make that shot  

[Adirondackman]

Ken - sounds like you and Chris had a great day in the woods. Wish that I could have made it. Really looking forward to this weekend.
