WOW did I miss archery hunting ===

Took the crossbow out and had an enjoyable three hour hunt late this afternoon. Naturally was hoping to see some bucks but that was not the case....

about 5:30 I had a grouse walk by but it would not stop for a clear picture...

Did get pics of some antlerless deer... not shooting them now, I have senior rifle next Thursday for that .

The woods shot is where I ended up sitting next to the open area..
by the downed tree

GREAT day, I am surprised how much I missed sitting in the woods this time of the year...

    This is kinda getting humorous. 
     
    Had this female fawn under me for much of the night.  Had a good time even though I didn't get to "spill blood".

    great picure Gene..

    I love watching deer scratching, it's sort of amazing they can get it done with hoofs, and not "poke their eye out" but I see our horses doing the same thing... yesterday I actually enjoyed the grouse and a chipmunk more than the 4 deer... The grouse came from my left about 50 yards away and I finally lost sight of it about 50 yards to the right... little bugger just kept walking along.. NEVER stopped for a second.... As I was walking out the trail to the truck I flushed four, so it must not have been my itself. I just did not see the others. Which answered my surprise because I could not understand just one grouse walking that distance with no "buddies"...
    I'll try my hemlock grove this afternoon, it will give me an idea of what's there for the senior hunt next week...

    Probably because he appears to be one of the anti-hunters posing as a hunter while visiting the hunting sites and working diligently to case as much division as possible within the hunting fraternity. It is a tactic that has become one of the most successful toward the anti-hunting movement. There are a couple in this board that kind of fit that profile.

    If nobody shoots the does then the bucks can't eat when there's ten times the deer the property can hold that's unethical if you ask me

    stuff it stuffy//// rsb..farthest thing away from anti hunter movement...this all started over shooting a yearling doe with a single little fawn that was nursing..my comment was let that one walk..did not say for him not to shoot a mature doe..yes. i am anti doe shooting. i seen what that did to our deer herd in the big woods..devasted it...you guys don't hunt or live up here like i do..so you can't compare your area with mine..should know more about this area before hammering me on doe shooting..NO to Sunday hunting...JUST ANOTHER DAY TO KILL A DEER..YOU PRIVATE LAND HUNTERS HAVE IT MADE..WE PUBLIC LAND HUNTERS ARE BEGGING FOR MORE DEER IN THESE MOUNTAINS..ONE MORE YEAR OF LOW DOE TAGS AND WE WILL HAVE A GOOD HERD BALANCE..

    No saying 270 is a undercover HSUS card carrying member, but hunters need to wise up to the new strategies being waged.  Obviously, RSB is well aware of them.  Many are not, and help the other side more than they realize which is why the new campaigns have been more successful than ever.

    RSB should be aware of the BS tactics being used since the PGC has been using them against anyone complaining about their Herd Reduction and RSB has a few of his own anti hunter Quotes on here in just the last week. ---------- A few disgruntled hunters---A loud vocal minority---- RSB's quotes on the type hunters who are dropping out, some of his others from another site wayne or deerfly posted a few weeks ago. For sure RSB fits the profile. I don't always agree with 270 But I think RSB's comment is the pot calling the kettle black.

    You have got to be one of the most negative and miserable members of these boards.  Top 5 anyway.

    That may be your opinion but it would carry more weight if you could show where my posts were just my negative views and not based on the facts at hand. I used to think the PGC walked on water, I had two family members that were part of them, rode with WCO's and DWCO's on patrol, and was going to join them until an employment opportunity came up I could not refuse which compromised my time.

    RSB is on record making negative comments equal to or greater than anything 270 has said as far as hurting our image and and while he is damming the HSUS in this thread his leaders have no trouble giving them legitimicy by parterning with them when conveinent. The PGC's own Legislative Liaison made the rounds of the PA House Legislaters with Sarah Speed who is the State Director of the HSUS promoting HB-97 that increased penalties for hunting violations. When I questioned why, RSB put me down and saw no problem with that. Sarah Speed came here in 2007. Before that she was a Lobyist in California for Animal Rights Legislation.(there's that Calif connection again).
    The HSUS game plan is to use any method to discourage hunters to quit the sport knowing the fewer hunters to complain the easier to topple the whole sport. they work the easier issues to start and move towards the heart and the PGC has no business going hand in hand with them to promote anything to do with hunting.

    Just because you don't like the message is no reason to damm the messinger unless you can show with facts where I am wrong.

    S 10...think Ironhed was aiming that at me...not you...you don't deserve that comment..I am NOT AN ANTI HUNTER..JUST ANTI DOE KILLING IN THE MOUNTAINS..I hunt with a camp full of buck hunters, not the only one that don't shoot does..the entire camp and camp's near me do not shoot does, like most of the people up here in 2G...

    I agree.  Folks need to wake up.  That is for sportsmen, the PGC,  members of our game and fisheries committees and anyone that supports hunters and hunting.

    It's not a matter of me liking or disliking any word you type, S-10.  It's an observation.

    Your posts consistently have a negative flair, especially when it comes to anything about the PGC, anything that Dr. Trout or RSB posts and most anything in general.

    You, and a few others, purposely sit back and wait to pounce on some of these guys each and every time they post.  Just let it go, man.  It gets really old.  Really, it does.

    I think most others would agree.

    Good luck hunting.

    I think you would be hard pressed to find many negative posts except when it comes to countering the posts of the two gentlemen you mention or some of the PGC's claims and that is when they post claims that I know are misleading or not true. When I do counter them it is normally with supporting data as in the previous posts. If someone says the sun is shining brightly in Pennsylvania and at the time it is midnight I will challenge them. When a WCO talks about the HSUS being bad when he just finished blasting me for questioning why his bosses are in bed with them then my reply will not be all warm and fuzzy. If your going to damm me for my posts do it with facts to prove why. If you just don't like me that's Ok but you should really meet me first.
