nj starts in sept , but i wait and hunt ny ..much better , colder and not every moran is out.plus you can hunt sundays

 

First cool air came down,sure feels like autumn is on its way. Bought a new (used) fema trailer,fixing up the place for the camp.

 

It's archery season here, but there was a little accident with my crossbow and I'm not going to be able to hunt with it this year since I won't get it back in time. I'm going to have to wait until gun season.

I've got 8 tags. 4 bucks and 4 does. Might get some extra doe tags if I fill everything before the late doe season.

 

I can't wait so I'm going squirrel hunting next week instead. I have my mom's old 20 gauge bolt action that I haven't even shot yet, and a bunch of ammo. I have a case of ammo for my 12 gauge auto too. Even if I don't see anything I can burn up some ammo and enjoy the smell of the smoke.

this Wednesday is small game.. last time a coyote comes near our alpacas

 

16 days till NY bow season opens... i am freaking pumped!!! shoot straight

 

I just got really enthused after the buck I seen tonight while out scouting. Monster. 8 points on one side and 7 on the other. Made the shooter 8 point that was with him look positively juvenile. Huge, huge deer. Oh I hope I can get a shot at him this year. He would look fantastic on the wall.

I try to scout out the deer pretty extensively leading up to the season and don't take a buck unless he's one I've previously picked out or really, really big. Passed on a really nice 8 last year because I seen a much bigger 12 that was hanging around the CRP. Didn't get either one.

 

Dat's almost as big as Da Turdy Point Buck.

 

You need to buy yourself some of the new "Deer-o-flouge"...it makes the hard to kill bucks give up early and let you have a shot at them......price is right!

 

Antelope season opens a week from TODAY!.It's been pretty warm here --mid to high 80's---but it cooled own last night and rained.Forecast is for cooler temps all next week.
Good luck everyone...and be careful!
