  2. Hi all, It's rare when I plug a listing of mine, but I feel that this one is truly exceptional. It is a hunting paradise tucked away in the Highlands of Ringwood, NJ, and it may be just what you have been looking for. (I would hate to see this place fall into the hands of a tree hugging anti.) This fortress was constructed in '05, steel beam construction, 3 acres surrounded by even more land, perfect for hunting and riding. It features all of the bells and whistles. $689,900 Most of the deer in featured in this home were taxidermied by a fellows on this site, and they came from this property over the years. Even driving in to take the photos, I saw some velvet and wild turkeys. If you are interested, check out the video tour and the 3D tour of the house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T9S5luGf6Q&t=3s 3D Tour
  3. I found this “blog article” on Penn State’s College of Agriculture web site in their Deer-Forest Study section and found it interesting so I thought I’d share: Winter Babies MARCH 2, 2020 An email I received February 22nd made me do a double take. I thought I had already answered it, but it was déjà vu. The email read: “I am a rural mail carrier in Luzerne County. While on my route some days I will see 40+ deer. Today February 22, 2020 around 10:30am, I came across a group of doe (7), what stood out was a very small doe, but even more interesting was the doe/fawn was covered in spots and appeared to be something like a typical July fawn in size, shape and color. I have never seen anything like it. The doe and fawn even crossed the road in front of me. Unfortunately, when I went to take a picture my phone froze up on me. Have you heard anything like this or can explain??” The reason this email took me off guard was I recently responded to this one: “I’ll first say I love reading the deer-forest blog. Keep up the good work. [We love getting email that starts out like this!] I have a question about spotted fawns in October. I was hunting a local game lands here in Lancaster County on the first day of archery. I had a doe and a fawn come in and the fawn had spots. I watched them for about an hour and the fawn was still suckling from the mother. Is a fawn with spots unheard of this time of year? I figured most fawns have lost their spots by now. The fawn looked pretty young. Is it a “fluke” or an indicator of the herd in the area?” These two observations may seem odd and out of place. You can really starting chasing your tail…and that’s exactly what’s going on there. A few years ago [we’ve been at this blog thing a long time now], we published a couple of posts about the timing of female pregnancy. Since this is the result of the rut, it’s always a popular topic. If you don’t want to go back and read them, the Cliff’s Notes version is that average conception dates for deer don’t change from year to year. And since fawns are the result of breeding dates 200 days later, it is a key part of these recent sightings. Fifty percent of females are bred by 13 November. That means about half of all fawns are born by May 31st.That also means that half of females are bred after November 13. Check out the tail of this graph. If a fawn is conceived on the 7th of January when it is born? July 26th. When is that fawn up and moving around? Late August. Is it still nursing in October? Yup, fawns are weaned at 10 weeks. Spots in winter? You betcha. At the extreme, the Pennsylvania game Commission has documented fawns being conceived the 3rd of March. That fawn would not born until late September. So seeing a fawn with spots in February is not impossible, although certainly improbable. White-tailed deer (and many other species including people) have synchronous breeding to capitalize on favorable environmental conditions. After fawns are weaned, summer is at its height and food is plentiful giving them time to get as big as possible going into winter. Born too early and fawns are likely to succumb to springtime cold snaps; born too late and they are likely to die from winter weather. As you move south in latitude different factors influence birth dates. If the climate is fairly constant (like South America), the window of time for fawn births can be very wide. However, if there are environmental factors that introduce seasonality in weather patterns, such as rainfall, you may see births timed to coincide with periods when forage is abundant (like Texas). Even if their birth date is a little off, fawns can still make it. But some things still have to give. Growing a new coat is one of them. Because all their energy is needed to keep the system running, shedding those spots is not a priority. Their coat gets shaggier, but spots stay prominent and very visible. In this century, we are likely to see changes in the timing of births as our climate warms. Winters are becoming milder giving early- and late-born fawns a higher chance of survival than in the past. Day length will continue to drive the timing of breeding in white-tailed deer. It’s in their genes. But in ecology variety is the spice of life. Those females that get pregnant early or late are going to have a better chance for their genes to be passed on. The ever-adaptable white-tailed deer. -Duane Diefenbach
  4. Does anyone know of a someone who would be willing to take me on a first deer hunt? I can pay for reasonable expenses. I’m looking to do shotgun for deer. Specifically: I’m more interested in how to find dress the deer and responsibly hunt. If anyone is interested or knows anyone who would be, please reply or message me. Thank you!
  5. I know I'm stupid for trusting in humanity. I recently had placed my trail camera in an area that looked promising on public land. After seeing nothing but a small buck and lots of doe I decided to change locations closer to my house in Howell. I placed my camera on public land again with corn and attractant to see whats in the area. I know there is plenty of deer from living here my whole life, I just wanted to see if the spot was producing any good bucks. I return a week later to all the corn gone (assuming the deer gobbled all 80lbs no problem) and my trail camera gone. I did not place a camera lock cable on it because I figured 1, this is an area the general public does not stroll into so only hunters would be there, and no ethical hunter would take another persons belongings. However, there are degenerates I assume go through the woods because I have found plenty of beer cans and other waste. So I am leaning more to it being degenerate teenagers in the area. Hoping no hunter would take that camera. I still plan on hunting the area because there are lots of positive signs of deer in the area (rubs, tracks, eating all food placed for them). I was just wondering if anyone has any advice because now I am a bit worried about leaving my climb on stand out there. I bought a tree stank lock, but did not know if there were any similar instances or suggestions from y'all. Just sucks because normally I turkey hunt and this is my first year giving deer a try. I was excited for the season but this has put a big damper on it for me.
  6. Out in 5 again jumped one coming in then at 615 got snorted at at 630 big loan deer at my buddy spot who is not here. And a red fox was playing with the deer. Then the farm next store was yelling deer left .fun morning so far but still beat sitting home
  7. Last year I bought a swiss army knife hunter. It has a locking main blade, bone saw, gutting blade, can opener/screw driver and cork screw. Costs about 35 dollars. I never thought about actually using it for deer hunting, until my fixed blade Buck knife broke and is now sent back for warranty repair. Tonight I had the chance to use the Swiss army knife on a nice size doe. Bottom line it worked perfectly. The main blade, gut blade and bone saw all work exactly as intended. Clean up of the knife was a 5 minute job with hot water and dish soap liquid. I doubt I will get my Buck knife back this season, but will have no problem with the Swiss army knife.
  8. Hey all, It's almost that time of year! I am the head guide for the Lodge at River Valley, a members only fly fishing club situated along 2 miles of the Musconetcong River in Asbury, New Jersey. Last year we launched a limited hunting membership for 6 members and we have 3 spaces still available for this year. We are looking for a 3 bow only members to join for deer season, keeping our maximum at 6. Members will have access to overnight accommodation (at a rate of $65/man), as well as free range on over 240 acres of farm and woodlands that are prime deer habitat. Full kitchen is available for use. The herd at River Valley is about 45-60, with 6-8 unique bucks. The entire property is managed for regenerative farming and wildlife, which has a halo effect of positive stewardship to the deer population. We are located in Zone 7, known for it's large population of trophy bucks. The Lodge is home to 2009's trophy buck of the year. Taken by shotgun, it is the 4th largest buck ever taken in New Jersey (NJ Deer Hunting Records). Pictures attached. The genetics of this large buck are still very much influencing the current herd. Membership starts at $1700 per person for the season, up to 6 members. Also included with membership are dining privileges at Hawk Pointe, a course just down the road from the lodge. Please send me a message or reply to this thread if you are interested or would like some more information. Check out the Lodge website for pictures of the property. Cheers Alex Ford
  9. If someone came up with a foolproof system that 100% fooled the deer's senses of sight, hearing and smell and as a result you could hunt fully undetected and kill them at will would you do it? It seems to be the ultimate goal of many products on the market. If not why buy into to all the gimmicks anyway? I would not because I love the chase and its not all about the kill. I do not want easy.
  10. So your hunting Halloween 🎃 one of the best times of the year. Your stand is right on the edge of yours and the adjacent property. Right around 730AM you see the biggest buck of your life 190 class monster on your property heading south right toward your stand. Just before he gets to your location he crosses the creek onto your neighbors property. He gives you a 10 yard clear shot but he is NOW on your neighbors property. Do you shoot or let him walk.
  11. I got my email confirmation that I drew my Kansas Whitetail Tag yesterday. Kansas Fish and Game stressed out a lot of hunters this year with their bullshit. I wont go into the long winded reason why but, any one who applied there knows what I am talking about. Anyone else get theirs or a waiting for a Tag any where else.

  14. Here is the first of a series of short clips I plan to produce as the season goes on. Hopefully, they will be useful to those looking to learn some of the things that I have about deer and hunting them. Not an expert by any means. Just a deer hunter with a lot of seat time. Thanks for watching.
