:D:D:D For you TV ignoramuses, check out the series “Parks and recreation” on Netflix (.com). Chris is the funniest! and that was a good interview, I thought

Ugh! The infamous flagging tape!! Unfortunately, like Bruce said, my experience is that it’s not only from hunters around here, but also, and mainly from overzealous hiking trail maintenance volunteers. While I applaud their overall good work, Some guys of the NY-NJ Trail conference, of which I’m a member, are the worse, and they feel that they have to nail a blaze macaron every 5 yards, which not only makes trails look like Times Square at rush hour, but also, and most importantly deprives city hikers of the benefits of having to pay attention to where the hell they are going!! The new fad is also for some individuals to bushwhack and blaze new trails with orange flagging tape! :x:x:x

I usually remove excess macarons, and definitely every piece of flagging tape, sometimes filling both cargo pockets to the brim! 😀

No I don’t think they were hunters, Dave! The tarp and the 1/2 length floating loungers they were using to sleep on were brand new, probably bought for the occasion! 😀 Probably kids or people coming up from the city. Anyway, it clearly was someone who never camps, or doesn’t do it often!

Well, the end of Southern NY deer season is over! I hunted from sun up to sun down yesterday! Really fun day! I had another encounter early with probably the same doe with fawn as last week, but she was even wiser this week, scanning my spot for 10 minutes before deciding it wasn’t safe, and walked away. Early afternoon I worked the top of a hill which is a nice hemlock (mostly dead) and oak flat where the leaves were torn upside down by hooves. I didn’t see any deer but I stumbled onto an abandoned campsite! And a sorry one at that! I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning it up. I got a new tarp and two swimming pool lounge chairs out of the chore! 😛 After bringing those plus some trash back to my truck, I still had an hour and a half before sunset so I parked myself between two trees below thick mountain laurels bedding area. My phone died as I was taking it out of my chest pocket, but not before it took this cool, mossy picture! With sunset came the rain, so there it is… Now, I will be concentrating my NY hunting on hopefully a coyote or a rabbit, while waiting for the January 1st opening day of New Jersey “Winter Bow” deer season, which runs until January 31st! It’s a lot of fun hunting in group along the Delaware river with the Jersey trad boys!! After that I probably will burn out and call it quit!! 😀

Merino wool! I’ve been using the Smartwool brand for years. For camo pattern, check out Kuiu or Firstlite.

My comment to the midshipmen was–don’t ever complain about Annapolis in the winter again. That looks like a 4 year sentence:D

Alex time to schedule that visit.

Mike

Yes let’s schedule it!

Sunrise over West Point this cold morning! Sitting at my favorite spot. One little forkie showed up, but stayed a little too far. It was fun watching him react when he finally got my wind. 14 degrees! Man, my feet got cold! Time to go buy a few full length foot warmers!!!8)

Oh yes Bruce! Another week in NY state then until New Year’s Eve in Westchester County, NY, and then “Winter Bow” season the whole month of January in Jersey!! And I also have until March to get a coyote, which I almost did two weeks ago. I would have got a shot had he walked another 30 yards!

Wojo, I will see you at Mike’s!

I should have went out this morning too! It has been raining pretty steady for the last 36 hrs and not going to let up unitl late tonight. I spent a lot of miserable days in the woods this fall. I decided to sit this wet/cold day out.

I will hit it hard next week. Hopefully I can connect on the 6 point I have been after all fall!8)

Hey Wojo!

I hunt middle Hudson Valley, in the Hudson Highland State Park. Some of it is bow only, and some shotgun/Muzzle also. I was in shotgun area today, but there’s no one in the woods around here after Thanksgiving! Just hardcore hunters! the yahoos are gone! 😀

I killed a nice big bodied spike 2 weeks ago> You should have gone out! you know the drill: you won’t kill’em from your couch!! well technically you could!:D

where do you hunt?

Little selfie in the drizzly, foggy mountains this morning! 😀

Nice stalk on a doe with fawn! Almost got within 20 before they ran off to a less crowded acorn flat!
