3 more long days New York!

[Izzy]

Just in time for opening day, my shooting s##ts the bed!!! Silly me runs into this every now and then.I mean, I can hit vitals but not pick a hair. Got a few days to tune back in or I just wont shoot until I do.I hate to make excuses but this really hit me after I had a really bad cold.          

[Izzy]

To be more specific,,, this is with a particular bow that I planned on hunting this season. "Old Faithful" is still stacking em in the bullseye but I was hoping to take another gal to the dance.  The good news is all 5 of my tree stands are very active and I have 2 separate ground blinds that I put quite a bit of effort into building that I will hunt this year. :rolleyes:

Good luck men.I agree with the October first opener.

Hey , it opens on the 27th of September, Take a drive and hunt the big woods..........

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Good Luck guys!

Terry, not sure if we talked about it but I didn't know you were the father of 2 eagles. and a former Scout Master.  I was an assistant SM for 2 years after graduating Scouts .  My Father was a SM and had 2 Eagle sons. That's cool.

Izzy, Take the bow you shot the squirrel with. If you can kill a squirrel while trying to sleep....    :rolleyes:    

Oct. 1st?        thought I was the only one who thought this way.

[horatio1226]

I wasn't going to do this, but I can't help myself. This is where I'll be.

Be glad your guys season is over the rut.Ours ends the last sunday of October.     Was wanting to get a NY license this year but with the moose hunt next week and the Ohio trip next month it may be too much.Might still get one...kinda still up in the air.

I hunt near Morrisville & Otisco NY. If anyone wants to come on over just PM me. Very pretty areas around here with a fairly good chance of some close encounters.

Brian, that is some beautiful country. You are just across the river from where I am. I'm not real far from the Stockport Creek railroad tressel.

Izzy, your bad shooting is better than my good shooting.

Charlie, I've been in scouting for over 20 years and have been everything from a merit badge counselor (still am) to troop committee chair.

PhilNY, that is a very generous offer and you certainly are in some very good looking deer country.

I'll be meat hunting on Saturday so if it's brown it's down. Unless it's a 1 1/2 year old buck. I just can't shoot them. Actually passed on a @100" 8 pt last year from the tree I'll be in on Saturday. I'm hoping he made through and added 30" of bone. All out of deer steaks. Got a little ground venison left, but the roasts and steaks are gone and I put 5 in the freezer last year. Beef tastes funny! Some good butterfly backstrap wrapped in bacon and cooked on the grill with some mushrooms on top. Ummm, ummmm!

[Izzy]

Good luck to all you folks. Brian, your pics look like Iowa! Im at the range with work today and tomorrow and then 4 days of hunting barring heavy rain. Mikey, Ron ,Charlie and Brian,,, Im crossing my fingers for you fellas. I know you all got what it takes!  

[nybowman]

I can't wait. Good luck everyone.

Brian,

That Forecast sounds great. I'll be looking out the window form a stupid work training then going to a surprise B day party for the wife's G-Ma.

I can Justify the work only because 2 reasons, I'm glad to have a job and 2 the overtime will help a couple extra bills this month.

Cant wait for the stories. I may have to check in on our break from the training.

Thanks for the good luck blessings guys.

[horatio1226]

Ahhh, use the overtime for a new bow! The bills ain't going anywhere!
