    Blue Deer Pee?

    in Big / Small Game

    Posted

    Hello All,

    This winter I have seen something in the woods that I have never noticed before.  In a couple of locations, there was deer urine-soaked snow that was tinted blue.  I mean real, windex-shaded blue.  Made me wonder if deer get porphyria like King George III.  What might cause this?  Do they sell salt licks with dye so you can track them somehow?

    Tying Mark's Carpet Fly

    I once wrote a shaggy dog story that had to do with your only choices of hiring a guide on Oak Orchard were either Jay Peck or Pennsylvanians with peg legs.  The punchline was that the tourist brochures, under fishing guides, said "Pick a Peck or crippled Muppers".

    That ad I show at the beginning of the video is the one you're talking about!  Here is one of my favorite stories of his:

    Mark had plans to meet some friends to go down to the river and fish together.  He got impatient waiting for them at his house, so he left them a note letting them know he would be down on the water.  Mark wanted them to know that the day before, the fishing was amazing and he had caught a jillion.  His way of doing that was that his note included a signed confession to mass murder.

    Now, here is the thing that could ONLY happen to Mark.  The police had found a dead body in the river, and just so happened to be knocking on doors asking if anybody in the neighborhood had seen anything.  That's when they happened across his note!

    The cops waited around, and when Mark's wife came home from work, they were very terse with her, asking if everything was ok at home.  His wife noticed they were acting strangely and asked what they were getting at.  That's when they showed her the signed confession to mass murder - and she burst out laughing!

    I used to practically live on the OO in the spring and fall from the late 90s to about 10 years ago.  The increased crowds and diminished runs of fish have kept me away.  In the old days, when the fishing was no good you'd go hang out with Mark and see what kind of outrageous stories he'd have.

    Deer Hunting on Horseback

    Hello All,

    I have a young friend who has made a YouTube channel for his hunting adventures.  I have known Louis' family for years - he was just a little tyke when I first met him.  Well he has been hunting hard as long as he could hoist a gun or bow, and already has a huge amount of experience.  I just watched one of his videos and am impressed at how professional a job he did.  Here is a link - have a look and you will likely be very entertained!

     

    Hunting Leases- WNY

    Hunting Leases- WNY

    Hello. I have posted these two large hunting leases in the past. The landowner has come down substantially in price, so I am relisting. Both are on the Cattaraugus/Allegany County line. One is in the Town of New Hudson, 287.5 acres of field, woods, and hills. Good crop of oak timber to supply food for deer and turkey. $5,060 per year for exclusive hunting rights for all game seasons. The second is in the Town of Lyndon, Cattaraugus County, NY. 426 acres. It has an excellent swampland for waterfowl hunting, as well as cropland, and wooded hills. There is also a good deal of oak timber that would supply acorns for the game. There is a derelict cabin on the property - I haven't seen it in a while. Let me know if you would want to make use of it. $6,390 per year for all game animals. You may have as many hunters on the lease as you like, but all hunters must sign the lease. Only commercially made tree stands may be used. ATVs may be used only for deployment of tree stands or retrieval of downed game. If interested, email me and I will send you maps. You can go at your convenience to have a look, and only then will I take your call to discuss a signed agreement. First party to come through with a check and signature will get it - I can not hold it for anybody. I am a professional forester. These are the only leases I have available.

    First time I heard of the superstition was in a Pat McManus story called The Claw of the Sea Puss. He had such a bad experience on a charter boat that he mutinied by eating a banana.

    HUNTING LEASES - WNY

    Hello. I have three hunting leases available for the upcoming seasons.

     

    1. Town of Lyndon, Cattaraugus County, NY. 426 acres. Has some cropland, a cattail swamp, and high hills with oak timber growing at the top. Cabin on property that is in poor condition, but you may use. $8,000/year

     

    2. Town of New Hudson, Allegany County, NY 287.5 acres. Some cropland, some swamp and high hills with hardwoods growing on it. $6,325/year

     

    3. Town of Amity/Angelica, Allegany County, NY 85.5 acres. Stream, brush, cropland, and hardwoods. $1,539/year

     

    I am a consulting forester, and these leases are for a client of mine (a dairy farm). These leases are all I have available. Because I don't earn much by doing these leases, I have a streamlined process in which I do them:

     

    Email me for which lease you are interested in.

     

    I will send you a map, and you go look at it at your convenience.

     

    If you like what you see, you can write or phone me and I will get you a lease agreement.

     

    I can't hold the lease for anybody until you come to look at it or come up with the money. So many people look at a lease before they buy, that it is a race to the finish line for your signature and check.

     

    Sign the lease, send a check, and you are signed up for a 12 month contract. the lease comes with the following stipulations:

     

    You have exclusive hunting rights for all game animals.

     

    You have first refusal if you wish to renew your lease.

     

    No use of ATVs other than to deploy tree stands or retrieve downed game.

     

    Only commercially available tree stands allowed.

     

    NO nails in trees, or cutting of shooting lanes.

     

    No camping on property (other than the one with the cabin)

     

    You can have as many people hunt on property as you wish, but all hunters must sign lease.

     

    Please do not phone me until you have emailed, and seen a property that you want to hunt. I just do not have the time to take your phone call until you are serious about buying a lease. I will give you all of the provenance you need to assure yourself that I have the authority to sell these leases for my client.
