    Rain

    Went up to change out the battery in my camera this morning, noticed a fair amount of fields aren't even turned over I suspect because of the rains we have been having
  4. I will say it is rare for these encounters and probably less that 5%. So 3 bad ones out of 50 the rest blew out fast. One big boar did not like us in his territory and same bear ripped down and destroyed 3 cams within a mile and a groundblind and treestand.
  5. They are wild animals, you just never know. I have been followed and mock charged and put in check a few times. Just recently me and hunting buddy locked eyes with a big boar and both yelled screamed to warn him and he just kept coming closing distance and we had a dog with us. He slowly veered after i banged the treestand with an axe but he had closed in to about 40 yards A young bear followed me for a mile until i hit railroad tracks. Not good feeling to get followed. I had screaming cubs while scouting a swamp and mom running at me and snapping. You just never know. These encounters werr all deep in woods.
  6. Been watching her for weeks knew she had to drop soonI became a proud father of 2 and I believe on mother's Day, Clinton. Too dark to take pictures with my phone but I'll get em.
  7. I;m looking for one person to go on a 5 day Sika hunt in Maryland 2,400 Lodging and dinner arrive Nov 1st leave Nov 7th Branded Outdoors about a 4hr 15 min drive One stag and after that one hind. Please let me know
  8. Caned air is for keyboards like Jay said compressor with the little nozzle or shopvac on exhaust
  9. I got my archery license @ 14 way before my gun license best thing I ever did.Tip all the big bucks are shot during the bow season before shotgun!!! https://dep.nj.gov/njfw/hunting/hunter-education/

    I hope it ends soon. Not helping the turkey population at all.
  12. Yeah, I think they just call it firearms now and group it all together.
  13. Oh ok time's changed I had to do both separately back in the day
  14. If you feed them they will come. And probably stay.
  15. the shotgun test automatically now comes with the rifle license
  16. I remember that! It was a wing https://www.archerytalk.com/threads/wing-take-down-recurve.1092654/
  17. Today
  18. Believe you could have taken rifle and muzzleloader at the same time as shotgun, Wilson New Jersey can be complicated read the digest again and again and again any questions never hesitate to ask a lot of knowledgeable members here! Good Luck, it can be addicting and expensive.lol
  19. Fred has struck out 9 Mornings in Northren,NJ. And all 16 Mornings in a Row so far in New York. One Morning ,I hunted both States. Tough Season so far. 2 Reasons. Very Pressured Public and in Orange County- an extremely high Hen Turkey Population. Back in 2015- NYDEC Totally changed the Fall Turkey Format in huge NY Zones 3 + 4 in 3ways to increase the Turkey Population. And increase it did- especially the Hen Turkeys- which is great. 1. Slash the Bag Limit of 2 Fall Turkeys to 1. 2. The Season opening date of October 1st with everything else like Pheasant Hunting- was pushed back 3 weeks to late October. ( You would be surprised that a good Pheasant Dog will put all Unpressured Turkey Flocks into the air. ) And many Pheasant Hunters were very successful at killing flying Turkeys. 3. And cut the Fall Turkey Length of Season from 6 weeks to 2 Weeks. 10 years later- a Very High Hen Turkey Population. Perhaps it is time for both NY and NJ to drop their Fall Turkey Seasons for the good of the Wild Turkey. You guys here would be surprised how many members on nywoodsandwaters want the Spring Take cut from 2 Turkeys to just 1 Gobbler.-- That would be a huge Mistake. Cut the Fall Season first. Anyway this year in North,NJ,Iheard alot more Birds than last year. So it seems the Population is increasing some.
  20. I remember back in '82, a bow manufacturer offered a "Len Cardinale Signature" recurve bow. It may have been Stemmler, but not sure. After all, it was 42 years ago! Sure wish I'd bought one.
  21. Maybe post areas your interested in hunting, how far your willing to travel so guys know.
  22. Thank you! Yes I have gotten my shotgun license. Will be getting bow soon. Didn’t realize could do both at the same time!! I will definitely look into the preserve. Thank you
  23. https://www.facebook.com/share/QD4wmMc4U4DH2WKi/?mibextid=oFDknk I hope the link loads
  24. Anyone remember to promote bow hunting especially for those who didn't have a car or hunting parent or friend len used to rent a bus you could sign up for, they hunted some land in ledgewood somewhere ,I think that's how Mark Kronyak started
