Yep Bill I can believe that, on my way home from work the other day on 390 in the median of the road near the Avon exit was a blonde yote mousing at 4:30 in the afternoon . There wasn't even a bush in sight and traffic heavy on both sides on him.

I live on north littleville rd avon we have heard them several times across the street in the golf course yipping

 

here is a pic from a winter past same area i killed that big female they cruise through there looking for small does i need a 3006 semi auto lol

totally.... high water is a plus for past years fished in Hemlock my 2c

oh yeah they roost like raccoons , lay out in the sun , eat your tree...repeat easy to spot 

We had a family living under a shed years ago on the Almond property. They wouldn't  stir until we were gone for the week after hunting the weekends . They stripped that shed down and all our plywood it was unreal the damage . 

All the pine trees in yhe area have some kind of bark condition some went brown after too much feeding . I had a family of 5 on trail cam last fall man they just cycle back but ya gotta keep after them it helps killing a few adults. 

hey i miss it out there nice fish

my daughter and i sighted in the new 1187 for youth turkey weekend . Always a porky around to practise up on we hope

here he is huge male when they free fall 30 feet or more they bounce lol 

hate these bastards they eat all my beautiful pine trees on my Almond property.  Got one with the crossbow in a tree last Nov. it was sweet!! I'll post the pic when i find it what a thrill watching this monster tumble 30feet after the rage chopped him.

Just keep shooting Ed i have definetly seen a reduction since the 4 i killed last 2 years. I hate these things.

Wow the dark phase is beautiful never seen one in Allegany they all come so light colored even had one run past during deer season years ago almost white adult the 12gauge slugs were flyin all over till he was outta sight but he lucked out that day.

Thanks guys i watched her work in from way way off they definetly circle down wind . She stopped a few times but the camo worked and a good 25 feet up helps right. 

We have a good population in Almond and now they need to be careful . Next year its on  !!

look at this nice female i took last Sat night with the 870 called into 45 yards the 3 inch mag #4s took care of the rest. I have seen tracks in this area all winter just needed a quiet rainy evening to call from my favorite tree stand. 

First one i am hooked man what a thrill!!

My Dad and I trapped coons and fox back in the 80s best of times alot of fun taught me alot about wildlife and being resourceful  .

Thanks very much for the posts i am excited to get back into it next year still have a pile of our old Victors!! 

Your kidding right? That's a dream come true man good luck

Perfect love the pic too

Wow nice smoke pole buck !!

Interesting stuff this is a great read. Our woods in Almond has almost no Hemlock or many pines anywhere but a few giants. The deer seem to like any thick over grown browse any type they bunch up in these areas on the sunny side of the hills.

Migration no just an adjustment of a mile maybe until the snow melt .

They also like the dirt roads winding through big oaks alot of akerns are washed into the grooves they paw into a foot or 2 to dig for them.

Always amazes me how they gut out the brutal cold and deep snow down there. Tough tough

All great ideas guys!!

Try smoking your jerky strips right off the dryer over charcoal...just 10 minutes over rolling smoke... hickory or mesquite chips comes out pretty good

My .02 is if it keeps people buying licenses and enjoying the outdoors I don't care if u want to hunt with a spear. If it gets the youth of today in the woods and off the electronics, bring it.

Jumping all over this !! You got just get em out there!!

Rediculous ...wow is right. How does that thing hide carrying a tree around

Wow awesome job beautiful buck!!

Let me start by saying I use a crossbow in the woods. Crossbows need to be treated the same as a bow when shooting a deer. Guys that think long shots are ok to take are irresponsible! You can hit a bullseye at 75 yards no problem with them but there are too many variables in the woods. You should not be taking shots any further with a crossbow than you do with a compound. Deer still jump the string due to the fact they are loud when they go off. Don't punish the crossbow hunters that are responsible and only take responsible shots.

X2 on this!! I had 3 chances to fire my new crossbow at deer this year and passed not totally confident on my shot placement . Off hand is a serious challenge and I need more time. This thing is way way more powerful than any compound bow but I still don't feel at all like I have extended my range . Why do crossbow hunters feel this way? Still a 30-40 yard max for me . I did take a huge porcupine we have several eating up our trees on the property . This one was roosted well up about 35 feet or so the cross hair and bolt did a job on him. I don't think I would have taken a shot with the bow gear . I am totally for a crossbow class of some sort not freaking 2 days of blah blah either keep it short and informative these weapons are very unique.

I have had trespassers in the past years not wear orange at all!! I watched a guy cross an adjacent property above mine and straight over my line wearing an older real tree brown...no sh!! I was shocked I ran to him wearing orange he acted stunned ...unbelievable the made up sh;; you here when caught in the act...

Post your land and add keep out signs and trail cams it helps..ALOT

Hey awesome job the 270 is a good choice!! Congrats to you guys!!

Oh yes keep them like they are!!
