Good luck and be safe fellas.Rain scheduled all and week hopefully thatll cool it down a bit. But the game is still moving up north even with fishin weather.It looks like a lot of TG,ers around the country are having some good luck on deer even with the heat.

[Stone Knife]

It's going to cool down some for the opening weekend. I'm ready! good luck to all Trad Gangers.

[ishiwannabe]

Im ready to take my first trad deer. I cant wait. Now if the wife will just have the baby so I dont feel THAT guilty about being in the stand opening day.....    
I have five stands hung, three trees already set up for the climber, and a few ground blinds made. Im hunting the wind....any wind. LOL.
The weather should be cooler, it is here today, and the rain seems to be forcasted. Either way, I will hopefully be out there.
Good luck to all.

I'll have a small group of JLMBH Pink Guys up at my place in Cornwallville. Gonna try to do some heavy cover scent drives. Should be fun!

[MYSTIKBOW]

Good luck next weekend fellas. I'll be headed to camp on Fri. afternoon down around New Hope.  The sign has been good this year and a couple of nice bucks have been hanging around the area of my tree stands.

[ishiwannabe]

Hey Mike....good luck to you and "Team Pink". I hope to spend some time hunting with you and the rest of the guys this year, even if it is just for bunnies(a blast!). Hopefully we can getout into the deer woods too....Good luck.

[mcgroundstalker]

Tell ya what Jamie. If it gets cool enough I'll wear my JLMBH Pink Fuzzy Hat with Turkey Feathers and Pink and White Beads. (In honor of Joe Skipp) How does that grab ya?

... mike ...  :p  ...

PS:  You are welcome to come hunt with me/us anytime.

[ishiwannabe]

Im not surprised you still have it....lol. If you wear the hat, who is wearing the bikini? Dont be looking at me....  

[horatio1226]

I'm looking for fish skins to back some bows with if any of you fellow New Yorkers catch any big ones give me yell. I'd take some skins off your hands.

[oneshot1]

Ahhh Dang thats a super idea....the spotted back of a brown trout or the silver sides of a steelie would be scweeet looking...I dont kill many fish, but if I do I'll keep you in mind.

John - where around new Hope? One of the Bear Swamp camps? Grew up there near Carpenters Falls and fishing summers in the mill pond. Still live just one hill west in Niles.

I have 56 stand sites ready to go and I will be out there for sure. I am not gonna hunt many mornings early this year as I think ya educate to many deer but I have the Nov. 3rd. through the 19th. off, so it should be good! Shawn

[Rico]

Did you say 56 stands sites is that tree stands? Or is it 5-6 stands LOL thats alot of sites. Good Luck

[Shawn Leonard]

Rico, I have 56 stand sites ready to hunt. Most sites use a bracket system but about 20 have portable stands and a few have permanent stands, I have cut back from maintaining over 100 stand sites, I used to maintain that many and did not hunt some for 4-5 years at a time, but they were always ready and cut out so I could hunt at any time.

[Shawn Leonard]

TTT! Shawn

Good Luck, Everyone! And if you're in a Treestand... For those you love... Wear Your Safety Harness! And Keep you Tether Line Tight!  

Good Hunting!
