Cool pictures . I live in Monmouth County as well but I am seeing something completely different. I have a farm behind me that I take care of and I have never seen the herd so out of whack as it has gotten the past few years. I'm covered in bucks with a few does that trickle in from time to time and the amazing thing is that the bucks will tolerate each other all year, even during the rut. Just recently a mature doe and two fawns moved in, and they stay in their little corner in the clover plot every night. A few of the properties close to me had some pretty significant EHD die offs last year and doe sightings were as never as lean as they were last year, but I have noticed that the does have been leaning out and more throughout the years and more bucks are moving in as full-time residents. There was a total of 18 deer in my clover and turnips last night with 15 of them being bucks (not one worth an arrow), a doe and two fawns. There is a tremendous amount of building going on around me lately and two of the larger woodlots are now developed with town houses. If anything, I figured I would see more does moving in and had hoped a few mature bucks would get pushed on but that never happened. I'm thinking the bucks are keeping the does out of there because they probably get tired of the constant harassment.

Some pretty amazing Yankee Injuinity on here. Listen to Booner. Blow a hole in the vertical insert the horizontal and weld it. The last thing in the world you want is that pipe coming down on your head.

I haven't hunted a buck in New Jersey in 3 seasons and this will be the 4th. I spend the majority of my time in the Midwest and if a deer crosses your scent line or gets downwind it is game over no questions asked . If you have convinced yourself that they can't smell your rubber boots or your clothes that is awesome. There is nothing like having confidence in your gear and set up but IMO I don't think it is even feasible.

Just my opinion but I don't really agree with this because I think they can smell you no matter what you do. I feel you can just get away with more in certain areas because they are used to human scent or may tolerate it to a certain degree.

Donate the meat to HHH. Keep the giant rack !

I pay way more attention to access routes in to my stands and where my wind is blowing while getting to my set. I have taken plenty of mature bucks, making bad choices on the wrong wind but I have never killed one that I have bumped out on the way in to try to kill him. I practice zero scent control anymore as I feel it is a complete waste of money and time. I shot my Archery buck this year in blue jeans, sneakers and a flannel shirt after working all day and then driving 15 hours straight to get to my lease. I am sure I smelled ripe as hell that morning !

can you post some pics of this vehicle up or pm them to me. I have been looking for a truck to keep down south on my property. Everything I have looked at in that range is rusted out.

how did I miss this? must of been the topic with spam on it.

I would imagine they were in the high wires hunting. Looks like a good spot. Lots of places to get big behind the warehouses etc. and ties into the golf course.

that telephone pole is all rubbed up in that pic. Must be some big ones in there !!!
