Jim, Be sure to let us know how you make out!

Good luck Fred.

Ron, Glad your ole Ticker still pumps hard when the deer are in close.  

Well guys,I shot over a good 8pt. down by the creek tonight.Better a clean miss than a bad hit,right?Didn't seem to bother him too much as he went back to nosing through the leaves for acorns again.Hoping to get another crack at him and make this thing right.  :rolleyes:

Jeff, you used up your big buck Quota. Tell Tyler to stop chasing girls, then get down there and kill that deer.

Bummer about the shot but you are right, you could have been tracking a deer for 2 days.

hey Ron and now ya know how i could not get a shot at that 8 point last year at 7 yards!!! good luck man!!!

Charlie,you might be right about the "Quota" thing...or maybe I just made a crummy shot.Since the boy got a license and wheels he hasn't been in the woods much.When do you think you and the guys might be heading down this way?

here we go...
and who can forget the most comfortable looking spot ever!!!

Good times Nathan , good times!      
Thank you for posting

F-Manny

LOL thanks Nate!

Jeff we were down last weekend. I sent you a text but figured you didn't get it in time.  we hunted in New Paltz Sat. night. that's where I almost had the shot at a very nice black bear!

Thanks Nathan!!!!!!!!!!

It was a pleasure having the Gang down for the weekend!!!!!    

As you can see, they're already corrupting my kid, LOL!!! Tyler's a fast learner... At least he's learning from the best of them!!!    

Just cause I sleep at the drop of a hat doesn't make me a bad guy, just an outstanding mentor for tyler!!!  Thanks a ton Guys!!! These are the times that carry me through!!

Nathan

Charlie,may sound dumb but I don't know how to text or check 'em.Lots of bears down this way,a father/son team got 2 last week.

Nice pics Nathan, good looking crew  

Hey Guys. This is a little off topic, but what Trad shoots/shows are there in NY?
I haven't lived there since 1998 and am out of the loop.
Is there a State Traditional Archery Association?
I want to go to some trad shoots next year in the NE.
Thanks in advance.

Now that is quite the "group"!!!!

Glad you all had a good time.  Can't wait until I get to spend some quality time with this fine group.

I'm sure you all gained a little in weight after eating Nate's cooking!!!

Jim - I'll send you a PM.  Lots of shoots in this region in the summer.

Wish you could have made it Tony!!!!!

Hope to see ya again soon!!!

Just came back from my evening hunt,was hunting my groundblind in the apple orchard behind the house.Got in my blind at 4.30,nothing moving just some gray squirrels running back and forth getting apples.Then I heard a real commotion about 40yrds to my left.thought it was squirrels making a racket a bunch of them in one tree.It turned out to be a bear.Never seen anything like it before.He was getting apples.He finally climbed down then right back up another.Watched him from my blind for a good 1/2 hour.Finally he climbed down again and off he went.I knew he was around by all the sign he leaves.Not many apples this year and he has them all skarfed up.He is a young bear it was a great time out just to see the show.

3feathers that is why we hunt, so we can see the unseen.

I swear thats the James Gang..Yikes...Critters beware...LOL

I see that the picture is taken from a low angle. I was curious and was wondering if Mike(Mcgroundstalker) took the picture or in fact was there
