Hey there stranger, it's been a while...

It has been the better part of a month since I have updated the minions with my travels. It's been a lot of hunting. I actually skipped Moose fest for the first time ever to stay at the camp in Canadagiua to bow hunt, to no success. I have seen 3 different bucks down there since the bow season has opened, so it is not like I'm not seeing deer, or not having fun when I go out. I just have yet to connect. But the season is early and I am optimistic. Anyone with a real knowledge of the NY hunting seasons, might be surprised to see me posting at 10 AM on the opening day of Northern Zone rifle. Well let me tell you, I was up at 5:30 AM this morning to go out, turned on the back porch lights and it looked like I was in the middle of a damn hurricane. Easy decision to crawl back into bed with Meaghan. Plus it's a nice opportunity to grab her ass without getting slapped.
Work is good, and we have started to slow down from the craziness. I hope to get back in the boat soon, maybe this weekend. I feel like Kurt....

Well I think I am going to take a drive this afternoon, see if there are any deer still daring enough to be standing in the fields. Wish me luck...
Cheers!

Happy ROctober!!!

Well it has been a busy couple of weeks for me. September 27th was opening day of Northern Archery hunting. Saw a bunch of deer but couldn't get one close enough. So far I have three days on stand with nothing to show for but I have a feeling the pre-rut is kicking in and the deer are becoming more active throughout the day which should afford some opportunites.

Sunday Jim, Ron and I as well as the Placid/Watertown/Hudson crew were on the Bottom Moose for the first of the scheduled fall releases. The level was around 4', but all 4' was going down the bottom 4, as the power station is down right now. This made for a pretty juicy run. The lines at powerline and Crystal were really fun, and really pushy.

Wednesday I am having wisdom teeth pulled, so this coming weekend is questionable for boating, but definately game to go chase some game. We'll see what happens.

Sabres are 0-1, Bills lost to Miami yesterday but hey the Yanks are waiting to see who they will be playing in the ALDS so it looks like I will be keeping the sweaters and Bills jerseys in the closet for now and sticking with the pin stripes for at least a week or so....
