Mmmmmmm, veal.

Pheasants?

Those are some funny looking pheasants DB. But a great looking dog!!! Looks like she goes out to get the job done, like yourself. Nice shooting.

I have no scanner, so the pics can't make it, but I had one of the best years of hunting this past season. Lots of birds... quail, wood****, pheasant, mallards, woodies. and a couple of deer for the freezer.

Small game ends tomorrow and I don't think I'll make it out, but there is coyotes until late March. Planning on going out to get a couple to help out the deer in my favorite spots. NO luck the one time I went out last month.

Only 2 months until TURKEY day!!

hunting season

Doughboy,
Did you make it to that meeting regarding Mt. Sinai Harbor? I stayed a few extra days at my cabin in PA and took advantage of the snow and missed it. Any word on the outcome?

I only got out twice for duck this year, mainly because the pheasants had me busy every weekend throughout the fall. I did have a classic duck hunt though in January. Walked to the marsh armed with only three decoys, extra high tide, still flooding, snow coming down hard and sideways, had five flocks of 3-5 birds come right in. Only problem...all blacks! After I took my first, I just layed along the bluff watching the others swim with my decoys, play in the water, walk up on land only ten feet in front of me, never knowing I was there. Only one duck in the bag, but what a classic hunt. No pictures but I hope I painted a good picture for you.
Pete

Brown Trout, good eye. I forgot. That was a mixed bird (pheasant and mallard) tower shoot. Sounds like you had a lot of fun with the birds this year. I like bird shooting much more than deer. Lots of action, and you get to work with the dog. It's the best when it all comes together for a few birds at the end of the day. I'm also looking foward to turkey this season.

Pete, I posted a summary of the meeting on the "duck hunters, help" thread. Supposedly there is another one scheduled next week. I'll post when I find out. Sounds like a fun time even if you couldn't blast em. I hunted in JI this year and couldn't believe the amount of blacks around. Every time out we would literaly see hundreds. Seems that the feds should really reevaluate the bag limits, at least for our area. I don't shoot divers, so I practice my calling to them, and I enjoy watching them buzz the spread and mingle with my antisocial dekes.

Mike, He's got a great nose and he used to do a lot of grouse hunting with me while I was in college as a pup. But he got an injury in his "ankle" joint that hardened into a lump, which restricts his running. The vet told me it was inoperable for some reason, so now he is basically just a retriever. I'll take him to run occasionally because he loves it so much, but he'll limp for the next day from it. Now, I would like to get a Weim for upland hunting but the landlord is against a second dog for now. Labs are awesome when they get birdie, but seeing a dog lock up on point from a flat out run is really spectacular.

Chris, we'll have to trade trips next year. Deer for Waterfowl.I only deer hunted twice this season. Had a lot more fun with the birds and bass, but I'd like to return to woods more next season. Nice P & Y.

SandFlee, nice doe. Don't look so down

SOMBF Great looking animals. What area did you harvest them from (LI, Catskill, Adirondacks or another state)

Here's a picture of my first deer, a small basket rack ten pointer shot with a bow before school when I was in eleventh or twelveth grade.

Just got off the phone w/ my neighbor who tells me the spot he has in mind for us this spring had 80+ turkeys today. I was also seeing them regularly in my deer haunts,so this spring seems to be shaping up nicely.

Just got back from a walk w/ the dog and found some yote sign as well as deer and turkey. I hope the deer can hold out a few more weeks!!! This cold and snow is a real threat this year.

DB funny what you mentioned about the blacks. I was seeing a lot more this year as well. I never got to pull off a sea duck trip this year. I got the tidal wetlands permit in mid Jan. I seem to recall talk of a Nor East rabbit hunt too back in Nov. What happened?

LTM I think it's time for some more of that venison/mallard chili this weekend. Weather will be perfect for cooking this Sat. NICE deer!! There's ducks right in your back yard in Echester. I'll let you know if I'm planning anything this fall...like there's any question lol. Were you at the Westchester Bowhunters meeting last month?
