Making a soup for the JLMBH Chuck? I have my Bow/BP either sex tag, and my regular season antlered tag. I gave away my doe permits to very deserving people.

I have tags

"Tag Soup" seems to be my "specialty" Jamie.....

Bowspirit · December 15, 2009, 09:22:00 PM

Boy, have I got a slew of tag recipes from over the years...

Don't forget them Tags are good for the last 4 days of September in the Northern Zone. Chuck you will have to take a road trip.

Hello, I'm new to this site. I did OK this year, I have 2 Doe tags left. But I don't have much time off from work.

All tags intact at this moment. Still hopeful for the weekend.

Izzy · December 16, 2009, 08:41:00 AM

Pegen, yes that is right.My bud shot a 151" buck in the Dacks in late September with his Shrew this year.Its like winning the lotto but he did it and with a stale tag even.Today I cant leave til 10:00 am but Im heading out with the Griffin.Im dropping off my Christmas gifts for the landowners but when Im done Ill be looking for deer and squirrels .They gotta be real fat from all the acorns they had this year.Im just gonna still hunt and see some country.Ive decided not to kill a doe on this property this year.

I still have four DMPs for 3S (Westchester). Pickins have been rather scarce lately. Maybe some holiday hunting will be more fruitful.

woodchucker · December 16, 2009, 09:11:00 PM

I'll be up there John, You can bet on that!!!!!

Pegen · December 16, 2009, 09:33:00 PM

IZZY, thank you for the confirmation! I still have my regular season buck tag, one 3N doe tag, and two 3S doe tags left.
It ain't over yet. two weeks left ( counting Westchester)
psyched. I went for a hike on some land that is left pretty much untouched all season. I saw white tails fleeing the scene everywhere in the space of 1 and a 1/2 hour

Adirondackman · December 17, 2009, 07:27:00 AM

Good Luck to all you guys for the last weekend. I hope to get out Sunday for my last shot with the bow this year. Then it will be time for some ice fishing.

Izzy · December 17, 2009, 09:50:00 AM

Yesterday was a good hunt.No deer sighted but had an awesome time chasing bunnies.No shots but I drew 3 time on a couple.Also saw 4 eagles.Looked to be 2 adults and 2 juvies, very cool.The landowner tells me he doesnt think the big 8 I saw was killed as he saw him several days ago.Im probably done for the year but I fel like I had a good season.

Shawn Leonard · December 17, 2009, 07:58:00 PM

I am not done yet. I have one bonus tag left! Cindy asked me what I wanted to do for my B-Day sunday and I said sit in a stand from noon until dark!! I have not hunted with the curve much this year but will carry it sunday. I have had my best year in 5 years, shooting 3 nice bucks with the bow. Sunday will be for another buck but only a nice meat deer. Does are few and far between these days. I hate to dwell on this but just read an article in outdoor life. It states without a doubt coyotes are killing deer at an alarming rate and it is only gonna get worse. I spoke to a gentlemen the other day who has hunted the same 150 acres for 30 years, he says everything where he hunts has stayed constant the last 20 years.Meaning same crops, same hunters, no new homes being built, traffic has not increased, etc. yet deer sightings are a 1/4 of what they were just 6 or 7 years ago. He says the only thing that has changed is that back than they would go all season and see maybe 1 or 2 coyotes, now someone in their party of 4 sees at least 2 or 3 everytime they go out. Please shoot everyone ya see and maybe our herds will rebound. Why eat rabbit when ya can have fresh young venison, that is what the coyotes think!! Shawn

The antler tip overlay on my bow cracked at the lamination. I may be out for a while unless Ron continues to let me borrow a bow until mine is fixed.

Shawn Leonard · December 17, 2009, 08:03:00 PM

Charles I have bows ya can borrow if it will keep ya in the woods. PM me if ya want one and ya can run down and pick it up tomorrow. Arrow to match too!! Shawn

razorback · December 17, 2009, 08:07:00 PM

I wish we still had a season up here in the northern tier. The now is too deep to chase rabbits, loose too many arrows, and it is bloody cold a the moment, -7.

ron w · December 17, 2009, 08:47:00 PM

Charlie, you can use the Mikuta as long as you need to.I'm in no hurry to get it back.... I have a couple to shoot..lol.I would like it to warm up just a bit,5 degree wind chill sucks!!!

ishiwannabe · December 17, 2009, 09:16:00 PM

I saw 15 deer today, mostly does. I had a buck at 20 yards broadside but I passed on him. He had no antlers, and judging by the half dollar sized circles atop his head, I think he might be a bruiser next year.
Found out today that a neighbor got a 140" class buck. I have seen one more...

I hear you about the coyotes. I saw six this year while deer hunting. All of the scat I find is loaded with deer hair, one can only hope it is from gut piles and such.

Charlie, if none of their bows work, I have a few too...
