LOL - this post would have got you banned (again) on NJH!

just choked on coffee. You ass!!! lol

Please let me know if you need a rod that would be better than the boat supplied rod, I have several extras. I got cat-boy covered, but I am not baiting his hook.

I can attest that this is a great climber - I bought one slightly used a few years back and was quite impressed. It's easy to set up, grips the tree very well yet slides up the tree with ease, and is very steady and secure and comfortable. Put a pair of backstraps on it an it's pretty darn lightweight too. If an old fart like me at age 54 can use it should be good for just about anyone else.. GLWS

Last 2 listed have not confirmed yet - would like to know by end of today.

yeah that buck is special. Small compared to what he got in Ohio same season though!

I have hunted NJ since 1974. I have been to Ohio 4 times and Illinois twice. I have yet to even see one let alone take one. It's just another cool feature about what makes the whitetail such a cool animal. I generally get excited about the overall "presence" of a mature buck and may not even notice if a buck had them to be honest it's just a feeling about it being a "shooter" (unless I had time to glass it in advance). Nice 2013 NJ buck John!

Greybeard out - OMC in... FrankieD on deck - still pending some deposits as well.

Is it any wonder Dan's favorite bait is "GULP" ?

Jay said he is taking equipment with him which suggests he is going to do the same down south. Not sure how cost-effective it is to move a giant walk in chiller and equal size walk in freezer though?

You got a problem with that?

So what are our best options for Sussex and Northern Warren county now besides "DIY". I can DIY and have done plenty but I prefer walk in chillers and someone to package. Jimmy Young in Blairstown? Used him once - don't' recall if there is a chiller there?

SSS 'nuff said

Came out great Ken - his roommate looks quite exceptional as well. Congrats!

Congrats Jay - so your two 2017 bucks up close and figured you would win!
