Good luck with the recovery!

For anybody that may take meat to Painter's meat processing in Elkland, PA, just a heads up that the owners are retiring in January when they finish their current orders (due to both of them having health issues). They started on their Facebook page that they are not accepting any venison at those unless you have a gift certificate to redeem. Also, congratulations to everyone that has taken a deer in the past few days! Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thought this was a pretty cool trail camera picture...buck on the ridge and my step dad on stand in the background. Just waiting for the right one to walk by. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Perfect wind for my favorite stand tonight. Got to the woods at 1:30pm, pulled a card from the camera that points directly at my stand....4 bucks on camera from 730 this morning until this guy walked by at 1130am. 2 hours before I got to the stand. Unfortunately I was not able to hunt this morning! Even have a great video of two bucks fighting with the stand in the background at 730 this morning. Not sure if I can upload videos though?

Nice job Fishmandan, congrats!

Good luck on the recovery! Also, don't forget that if you lose the blood trail and feel like you might need some help, there are a few contacts on here with recovery dogs. Can't wait to see pictures!

Saw these two bucks as i was leaving work yesterday. Wish i had time to get in the woods this week!

Had an interesting experience when checking our 4 trail cameras last weekend. The first location, the camera was missing from the tree. Upon closer inspection we noticed claw marks on the bark of the tree, so we started searching around the area. A few minutes later i found the camera 25 ft away from the tree it was on, with the plastic buckle snapped off. Sure enough, lots of pictures and videos of bear on that camera (notice the two cubs in the background of the first picture - one on the ground and one in the tree). On our way to check the 3rd camera, we were riding the fourwheeler up through a mowed path through the berry briers and 50 yards away from where the camera was we had 3 decent size cubs run across the trail about 20 ft in front of us....no idea where momma was, but i was not sticking around to find out! Put the fourwheeler in reverse and back down the hill! Skipped that camera and went to check the last camera on the top of our property. Saw the sow and all 3 cubs again as they made their way up the hill. Had bear on 3 of the 4 cameras, and more bear pictures than deer pictures in the last few weeks.

Thanks for the replies, i appreciate it!

I looked it up online and it looks like woolly aphids. I've never seen them before this year, but noticed them on several tree branches throughout our hunting property. Mostly wondering I'd this is something to be concerned about (do they continue to spread?) Will they go away on their own, or do we need to try to treat it with something?

Thanks for the input Pap & Prayingmantis, it sounds like a logical place to start!

Thanks Mike, i've been keeping up with your fishing reports on FB! Looks like you had some good fishing as well.
