I have to scout a few areas, going to place a few trail cameras out. September is a great time to pattern the deer for bow season which opens in a few weeks. This is a good reason to get in the woods.Early firearm season is September 10-25.

Almost signed up for a guided hunt a few years ago. Seemed like it was possible to drive and you can bait certain times of the year. Any suggestions?

I plan on going up to NH to visit some friends and go on a bear hunt. What 7mm rem mag ammunition( not homerolled) do you shooters of the caliber use as bear anchors? I'm thinking 175gn but not sure of bullet brand, construction.

I'm heading upstate this weekend with my wife to bowhunt / hike / scout, and she is uncommonly afraid of black bears... to the point she was asking about bear spray. I always forget - do you play dead or make yourself look big and "fight" a black bear? I told her if she plays dead, I'll run or...

I'm going hiking this weekend and would like to get some bear spray just in case. Anybody know of a place in Suffolk county that sells some?

I have a confirmed 400 pound plus black bear in Bethel. The logger has seen him again and said this bear wasn't afraid of him on his skidder when he was driving through the woods. Might have use my .300 Weatherby Magnum!

Only when you have no other choices. Please DO NOT go and intentionally try this during hunting! it may not have the same result!

It was nice of you to stop and introduce yourself upon seeing my LIF sticker at the Sore Thumb. It is always a pleasure to meet other members, especially when they also fish. Nothing materialized after you left so you didn't miss anything. Just two blues on the bay side at demo, and one guy...

I heard on the radio that a hunter bagged a 700lb bear In NJ this weekend. Any info on this?

I had a bear come by me on Thursday at last light. Made a 27 yard shot. Tracking a bear after the sun went down was not going to happen so I had a long sleepless night. I got four friends together the next morning to make the recovery. He turned out to be much larger than I had thought. It took...
