I was hoping one of my Buds would get a crack at them...Almost did...maybe tomorrow.

Ill be your buddy,all I got to do is gas up the truck and Ill be on the way from Fla. Those guys are huge.

The first one was a dandy...I got lucky early this year so I will wait it out for a slammer.....plenty of time left and the rut is just starting to kick in.

looks like you are hunting in the backyard

If you call 40 plus acres a backyard...I guess so.

Makes me wonder why all those boys from LI make the drive up to my AO in Schoharie County.

I just got lucky and have gotten permission to hunt a couple of private pieces....If I had to hunt county / public land on LI...I'd make the drive as well

Thought the same.

It's somebody's back yard, just larger than most.
