Völkl's Racetiger GS World Cup stock skis are compliant with all FIS and USSA regulations and are intended for racing in all-mountain conditions, with groomed snow. Note that this product is strictly the ski itself and does not include bindings. The core is made of layered, laminated wood and is supported by flat titanium pieces on the top and bottom. It uses Völkl's vertical sidewall outer structure, and one main feature is that the sidewalls have a proprietary coating that glides like the bottom of the ski, potentially increasing speed and reducing friction on turns. These skis are intended for experts and are available in five sizes.
- FIS and USSA compliant sidewall and radius
- Ideal for racing
- Layered and laminated wood core
- Titanium support layers above and below core
- Durable vertical sidewall construction
- Sidewalls function like the bottom of skis
- Sizes: 175, 177, 183, 187, 193
- Intended for groomed snow

Begin with 10 lives
Before starting a new game, go to the fortuneteller (in the toy box) and keep selecting cards until you draw the ?Extremely Lucky? card. Then begin game.
Change view
Press Select during game to switch from center to edge view. Hold Up or Down to move camera up or down.
Compose Your Own Music
You can compose music using the Toadstools in the secret room (see the Round Table code)! Have you noticed the gibberish in front of the "Thank You!" words in the letter from Peach that comes up when you start the game (only if you have beaten world 8 in Original mode.) That mass of letters and symbols is the music that plays! You can compose your own music, too! All it takes is a miniscule understanding of music. Go to the Toad that is just to the right of Peach, or go to peach. Go to the ENTER text mode. Switch from the text to the symbols( by clicking the green ABC), then put down a note (quarter, eigth, or sixteenth). Then enter capital letters, A-G to make notes. After you enter a letter, add an UP or DOWN symbol (to change octaves) or a # (sharp.) Periods (.) make rests.
Here's an example, the Star Wars Theme: (hi-D = D with an UP arrow, lo-D = D with a DOWN arrow, . is a rest.)
[EIGTH] DDD [QUARTER] G . hi-D . [EIGTH] hi-C B A [QUARTER] hi-G . hi-D . [EIGTH] hi-C B A [QUARTER] hi-G . hi-D . [EIGTH] hi-C B hi-C [QUARTER] A . lo-G .
Now select END and press START to hear your music!
Fly Over the Level
Pause the game. Then press A,A,A,B,B,B. You will then fly over the level.
Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2
Score at least 300,000 points in the Classic game without continuing, saving or restarting game. A new ?Super Mario Bros. for Super Players? mode will be unlocked.
Play as Luigi
Press Select at the map screen.
Quick and Easy Unlimited Lives
Original Mario Bros
In world 3-1, go to the end of the stage where the stair case to the flagpoll is. Let the first turtle walk down all the way, but stay on the staircase. Next, stand as close to the block as possible, and when the next turtle walks on the block your facing, jump lightly and you should instantly continuously bounce on the turtle giving you mega points and eventually give you unlimited lives. You can get up to 127 lives this way.
Lost Levels
On level 1-1, hit the second block to the left to get the first mushroom of the game to come out, being careful not to hit the turtle walking there. Next, get the mushroom, power up and go back underneath the turtle and the blocks. Time this jump and break the block so the turtle is trapped on the right, walking back and forth, left and right from the edge of the block it's walking on and the block it can't walk through. Then, break the block left of the used powerup block, jump up, break the blocks above you all except for the one above the turtle walking back and forth. Jump against that, so that you land on the turtle and you'll bouncing continuously giving you again, mega points and eventually 1-ups until you get 127 lives.
Race the Black Boo
To race the black boo in the "You Vs. Boo" mode, race the normal boo, get to the end of the race before the boo and hit the flag dead on. This will not work if you hit the pole either above or below the flag. The option of racing the black boo will only be activated in that level and can be deactivated the same way you activated it, by hitting the flag dead on before the boo reaches it.
Reveal Yoshi egg locations in Challenge mode
Locate a Yoshi egg, then select Yoshi?s head in the toy box.
Select Mario?s form
Press Select at ?You VS Boo? bonus level on the mode selection screen to cycle Mario through his fire, normal and super forms. (Note: Cheat may also be activated in multi-player mode.)
Select level
Successfully complete the first quest.
The Round Table
Beat the first four levels (the first world) and then go to the toy box. There will be a little hole in the wall in the lower left corner. Enter it, and you will see a round table. Each time you beat a world 1-7, a new Toadstool guy will appear, and the princess appears after you beat world 8. The Toads let you print things! If you go to Peach, you can change the message that appears when you start up the game (now that you have beaten world 8.)
Toad Medal
To receive the Toad Medal, the most challenging award, you must complete the game, attaining the high score for all of its levels.
Unlimited continues
Hold A at the game over screen.
Unlimited lives
When a live is lost, hold A until the map screen appears.
Unlimited points
Kick the first turtle shell to the right in stage 3-2. Immediately run after the shell. It will run into enemies and earn an increasing number points as it goes. After it nets a 1-Up, let the shell hit your character and repeat for the desired points.
View fireworks
Successfully complete a level with a time that ends in a 1, 3, or 6.
Warp Zone
On any levels that have one block roofs break through them or go on lifts to get on top of them. Play the whole level on top of the roofs to the VERY end of the roofs. At the end there will be one or more tubes which will warp you to the level shown.
Warp to Levels 2, 3, or 4
On stage 1-3 on the second system of lifts (after the red turtle), ride the lifts to the top of the stage and jump onto the top row of bricks. Run along these until you come to a pipe room and go down whichever pipe you want.
Warp to Levels 6, 7 or 8
On the level 4-2 go stand on the right side of the first falling platforms. Stand underneath the three blocks. Jump up and there will be hidden blocks. Climb on those blocks and hit the left block of the three. A beanstalk will appear. Climb it. You will now be in mushroom land with tons of coins! When you finish this small level, which has no enemies, you will come to a warp zone, where you'll have the chance to warp to the levels 6, 7, or 8.
?Lost Levels? bonus levels
Score at least 300,000 points during game. Then select Luigi at the title screen.
?You VS Boo? bonus levels
Score at least 100,000 points during a game. Then select Boo at the title screen.
Hidden Blocks
In some parts of the game, you will discover hidden blocks. Just jump anywhere in the air and sometimes you will discover a hidden block. You need this trick for yoshi eggs and sometimes coins. Sometimes discover starman, super mushrooms, and fireflower.
Warp zone
In dungeon levels like world 1-2, there will be a warp zone. I will tell you how to go to this so called warp zone by explaining it in world 1-2. So anyway, at the almost end of the level at the part with the platforms, jump up to the ceiling at the end and keep running. It will say 'WELCOME TO WARP ZONE!'. you can pick which world you would like to go in.

Martin is importing data into a worksheet from an SQL view; it comes in perfectly. Excel automatically creates a defined table using the imported data. Martin then inserts new columns in the middle of the table so he can start to work with the data, but once these new columns are inserted he cannot sort the worksheet—the option is grayed out. Martin is wondering why this is happening and how to fix it.
The problem is probably due to the fact that the data is being imported as a defined table. Defined tables can have some "peculiarities" (shall we say) that affect what you can and cannot do with them. You can figure out if this is what is causing the problem by following these steps:
That's it; if you can now add information and sort your data, then the problem is solved. If not, then it could be because the SQL connection between the data source and Excel is somehow limiting what you can and cannot do with the data. You may need to poke around in the Trust Center settings for external content in order to figure out what will work with you situation.

Week One Matchup Podcast Notes
Each week, John Hansen and Adam Caplan break down all the games in the matchup podcast with our NFL Analyst, Greg Cosell. You can listen to the podcasts here, but also read below for an overview of Cosell's thoughts.
Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints
With WR Sidney Rice out, Percy Harvin needs to become the top receiving threat. We don't know if he'll be able to do that right away tonight.
QB Brett Favre was able to be effective against the Saints last year because he is a veteran who recognizes late movement and can get rid of the ball quickly. However, Favre may be less mobile this year because of his ankle, and even though he got rid of the ball last year, he still was hit a lot.
RB Adrian Peterson is a confrontational runner who has too many negative and short runs because he sometimes doesn't allow things to develop. Titan RB Chris Johnson picks and chooses better with patience [...]

Best Enjoyed: Early to Late OctoberApproximate Length: 155 miles
Visitors are welcome to enjoy the MSU Horticulture Gardens and 4-H Childrens' Garden, and the Clarence E. Lewis Landscape Arboretum. A student learning arboretum at the site of the campus nursery, it has many mature specimen trees. Also at MSU, the W. J. Beal Botanical Garden was established in 1873 by Professor William James Beal as an "outdoor laboratory" for student learning, conservation and research, with emphasis on plants of the Great Lakes region. It is the oldest continuously operated university botanical garden of its kind in the United States.
Leave the city behind on US-127 north to Round Lake Road, which curves past Round Lake. At Hollister Road turn north to Sleepy Hollow State Park. A river snakes through this 2,600-acre recreation area in Laingsburg, where you can stretch your legs and take in the fall foliage on 16 miles of hiking trails through prairie and forested areas. Watch for some of the 228 species of birds that have been sighted here, including waterfowl that favor the park's Lake Ovid during fall migration.
Continue north on Hollister Road and at the crossroads at Ovid make a detour west on M-21 to US-127. Turn north to Uncle John's Cider Mill, a family farm for over 120 years. Enjoy fresh pressed cider, baked goods from the Pie Barn, and a variety of amusements at this St. John's attraction. Take home just-picked apples, apple and dessert wines, and hard cider.
Pick up Hollister Road and continue north to M-57, then turn east and roll through pleasant countryside to South Hemlock Road. Turn north and, after crossing several rivers, turn west on M-46 at the hamlet of Hemlock. Follow M-46 west to the neighboring cities of St. Louis and Alma, on the Pine River.
Continue west on M-46 through Edmore a couple of miles to M-66 (not that one!); head south on M-66/Sheridan Road, and plan a stop at Anderson & Girls Orchards, cider mill, farm market, and gift shop. Continue south to Stanton and follow Stanton Road west as it passes Dickinson and Clifford Lakes. Jog north on Lake Road then west on Route 522 to Langston and Route 91. Follow 91 south past Turk Lake to Greenville, on the Flat River and surrounded by lakes. Continue on 91/Greenville-Storey Highway to M-44. The pretty town of Belding, also on the Flat River, is just east of the intersection. Follow Route 44/Belding Road west to Lincoln Lake Avenue. Turn south and take the country road south to one of Michigan's treasures, Fallasburg Covered Bridge in Fallasburg County Park. The 100-foot, single spanning the Flat River was built in 1871, and is one of the oldest covered bridges in the state.
From the turn-of-the century village of Lowell, take M-21 east, a scenic route that parallels the Grand River. Cut across the river at Saranac, and take David Highway east to the Ionia Recreation Area. Hiking trails, designated mountain bike trails and equestrian trails criss-cross the 4,500-acre mix of meadows, forested areas, rolling hills, highlighted by Sessions Lake.
M-21 leads to Ionia, with its historic downtown. Hit M-66 again, heading south to Grand River Avenue. Follow that to Portland, where the Looking Glass and Grand Rivers meet. Enjoy the parks and pedestrian pathway. Continue on Grand River Avenue east to Lansing. Wrap up your color tour with a visit to Fenner Nature Center on Mt. Hope Road at Aurelius Road. The 130-acre park has three ponds and four miles of trails through a variety of habitat including a mix of brilliant hardwoods and green pine trees, a peaceful place to relax and take in a taste of country in the city.

Earlier this week, a new tool called CarrierEditor surfaced that allows for custom carrier logos without jailbreaking. Since then, helpful members of the iFans community — namely ValleyForge — have been taking carrier logo requests within the discussion forums. With the absence of an iOS 6 jailbreak for many devices, this is an interesting way to customize your stock device.
If you want a custom carrier logo for your iPhone or iPad, be sure to use CarrierEditor yourself or make a request in the comments. All you need to supply is your carrier version number — follow this tutorial — and custom logo you would like. Hopefully we'll see some other members help out with fulfilling these requests, as there are quite a few that continue to be made.

Threat description
IBM Germany distributed a number of infected original diskettes in January 1996. The program in question was "VoiceType Vokabular". It was shipped on permanently write-protected floppies, which were infected with a boot sector virus.
Since this virus is pretty new, there's still some confusion about the name. F-Secure anti-virus products starting from F-PROT 2.21 detect it as 'Newboot_1', but the CARO name has been decided to be 'Quandary'. Other names for this virus are Parity.Boot.Enc and IHC.
The virus itself is very simple, basic boot sector virus. The only unusual thing about it is that it infects the MBR of all hard drives connected to a system, including the non-bootable slave drives.

A.G. Schneiderman Announces Funding To Equip Officers In Finger Lakes And Southern Tier With Bulletproof Vests
More Than $60k In Invest Partnership Grants Will Support Purchase Of 175 Life-Saving Bulletproof Vests For 14 Law Enforcement Agencies Including The Steuben County Sheriff's Office, Binghamton Police Department, Watkins Glen Police Department, And The Horseheads Police Department
Program Provides Financial Relief To Agencies Hurt By Drastic Cuts To Federal Vest Program
Schneiderman: We Are Doing Everything In Our Power To Protect Those Who Are Sworn To Protect Us
BINGHAMTON – Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman today announced awards to law enforcement agencies in the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier, through the Attorney General's inVEST Partnership, a statewide program that helps law enforcement agencies purchase bulletproof vests for sworn officers. The funding awarded today includes $16,817 to support the purchase of 71 vests for the Steuben County Sheriff's Office, $10,465 to support the purchase of 26 vests for the City of Binghamton Police Department, $4,847.94 to support the purchase of 12 bulletproof vests for the Village of Watkins Glen Police Department, and $4,387.50 to support the purchase of 9 vests for the Horseheads Police Department, among others.
In total, the Attorney General announced $60,535.95 in grants today to support the purchase of 175 bulletproof vests. This is the fifth round of awards. Previously, Attorney General Schneiderman announced more than $2.6 million to support the purchase of over 7,500 bulletproof vests for law enforcement agencies in the Southern Tier, Western New York, the Capital Region, Central New York, the North Country, New York City, Long Island, Westchester, and the Hudson Valley.
"When our brave law enforcement officers go to work to keep our communities safe, we owe it to them to do everything we can to keep them safe," said Attorney General Schneiderman. "The inVEST Partnership grants we are announcing today will arm brave officers at 14 law enforcement agencies in the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier regions with life-saving vests they might not otherwise have, adding a critical layer of safety to one of the most dangerous jobs in the world."
In 1998, the federal government passed the Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Grant Act, which established a competitive grant program to provide up to 50 percent matching funds for state, county and local law enforcement organizations to purchase bulletproof vests. Unfortunately, because of partisan gridlock in Washington, BVP grants to departments in New York State have dropped precipitously in recent years. In fact, since peaking in 2010, grants awarded to law enforcement agencies in New York State decreased by 81 percent, or approximately $3.27 million. In June, Attorney General Schneiderman announced the inVEST Partnership to replace funds cut from the BVP program.
The danger that law enforcement officers face on a daily basis cannot be overstated: between 1984-2014, 71 officers in New York State have been shot and killed in the line of duty. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) estimates that bulletproof vests have saved more than 3,000 police officers' lives nationwide during the same time period.
On July 28th, New York Police Department Detective Mario Muniz was shot multiple times, including once in the chest, while attempting to execute an arrest warrant on a suspected sex offender. The round that struck his chest was stopped by his bulletproof vest, likely saving his life, according to NYPD Commissioner William Bratton.
Binghamton Mayor Richard C. Davidsaid, "Bulletproof vests are critical tools in keeping our police officers safe while protecting our neighborhoods. I thank Attorney General Schneiderman for recognizing the importance of public safety in our community and sharing in the City's commitment to protect those who put their lives on the line every day."
Binghamton Police Chief Joseph Zikuski said, "I thank Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for demonstrating his commitment to the safety of our law enforcement officers. With recent cuts in federal funding for bulletproof vests, the funding his office is providing will help save lives and keep our officers safe."
"Each day our law enforcement officers go to work to protect us, and we need to do all we can to protect them," said Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo. "The inVEST Partnership will equip more officers in our community with life-saving vests, and I thank Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for his efforts to provide this critical funding."
The Attorney General's office committed $3.5 million from criminal and civil forfeiture funds to create the inVEST Partnership. The office began accepting applications for the inVEST Partnership on June 9th. The awards announced today represent the fifth round of funding. Subsequent rounds will be announced in the coming weeks. For those departments that receive awards, matching funds will cover up to 50 percent of the total costs of vests, vest carriers, attachments, inserts, fitting, shipping and applicable taxes. Funding is available to equip newly hired officers or to replace expiring vests for veteran officers. Vests must conform with the performance standards delineated by NIJ in its most recent testing report.
The inVEST Partnership will provide matching funds for up to 10,000 vests. Although the initial priority application deadline for the inVEST Partnership has passed, law enforcement agencies still in need of funding for protective vests are encouraged to apply. Late applicants will be reviewed based on funding availability, on a first-come, first-served basis. In order to apply, an agency must be a member of or join the United States Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Equitable Sharing Program. Approved departments will be required to submit receipts for reimbursement by the end of this year.

$ 14,344.50

Emma Watson graduates, but there was a little surprise for anyone who tried to mess with her on the happy day…
"Proudly collecting her degree with a friend by her side, Emma Watson looks as though she has achieved her aim of having a normal student experience.
"But appearances can be deceiving…
"For the fellow 'student' accompanying the actress to her graduation is actually an armed police guard. And beneath the undercover officer's black graduation robe is a gun.
"Miss Watson's high-security approach to her graduation ceremony at Brown University is a marked contrast with her stated aim of having a 'normal' experience as a student at the elite US college."

I'm just going to be honest. I'm a little upset Christopher Dorner has been "confirmed" as dead. I know that sounds as if I lack humanity, but there was a small–okay large– part of me that wanted to see Dorner successfully achieve his revenge.
For those fuzzy on the Dorner details, the former cop and U.S. Navy vet was terminated from the LAPD in September 2008 for allegedly falsifying a police report. In his report, 33-year-old Dorner accused his then partner, Teresa Evans, of using excessive force and kicking suspect Christopher Gettler in the face while handcuffed. An internal review later concluded Dorner lied and he was let go from the department. It was because of his termination that sparked the largest manhunt in LAPD history, which included the death of two cops, the daughter of a LAPD captain and her fiance.
More Good Stuff: 10 Great Michael Jordan Moments
In Dorner's 6,000 word manifesto, he outlined his angst towards the police department (along with his love for George H.W. Bush, Ellen DeGeneres and Jay-Z) and why the killings had to take place.
Now, before I continue, let me say this: I know the difference between right and wrong and what Dorner did was wrong. We've all been the recipient of the short end of the proverbial stick. That does not give you license to go around killing people.
The LAPD is notorious for their racist police tactics within their own departments as well as the countless "accidental" deaths of urban youths, most of whom are Black males. To finally see one of their own, with knowledge that he's acquired from being on the force coupled with his Navy training, I couldn't help but feel all their sh*t came back to bite them in the ass.
Like Giant on Facebook to keep up with the latest in Men's Lifestyle, Entertainment and Culture!
It felt good to learn a rogue police officer was outsmarting the same institution that taught him, and according to social media, I wasn't the only one who felt this way. "We Stand With Chris Dorner" Facebook Fanpage boasts nearly 25,000 people. What makes it even sweeter is that Dorner, a Black man, merited a $1 billion bounty for making–even if just for a moment–LA officials look like fools! Pure fools!
Like Django, Dorner went after his modern-day slave owners and Klansmen, except instead of hiding behind white robes, they hid behind shields. I enjoyed seeing LA officials scramble and not have any real answers for reporters at press conferences or as they said "We don't have that information at this time." My internal jubilation came to an end when I learned a shootout near Dorner's alleged Big Bear cabin ended in a blaze and the charred human remains were positively identified as Dorner.
More Good Stuff: Tinashe Takes Us To Ecstasy
Like I said before, killing people isn't the answer and the other half of me, the half that knows the Roman scripture "vengeance is mine sayeth the lord" shakes my head in disappointment.
But the human in me can't help but to salute Dorner.

Adirondack Buck
After our Maine hunt we returned home in time to hunt the opening of the New York deer season. We still had a couple days to prepare so we loaded the camper and the next day headed over to our favorite spot to set up which was nestled along a dirt road 14 miles off the main road. After the setting up process was taken care of we did something that we always like to do and that is taking a walk up a couple of the many trails that run through these mountains in search of wild mushrooms.
My suggestion to you at this point if you decide to try this is to make sure you know the good ones from the bad ones. I was taught by an old neighbor I had that had picked them for years and showed me which ones he gathered every year and I enjoyed the taste so much that I started this same trend. I didn't realize how many people go in search of them every year but soon found out. Anyway, back to the story.
We found a few of the mushrooms called "Hen-of-the-woods" at a couple places we know of and took them back to camp to prepare them for freezing to enjoy at a later date except for a few which we had along with our evening supper. Two things were accomplished while in our search for them, we were also seeking out active deer trails which crossed along our way. We passed through an area which held many oak trees and seen alot of fresh sign that gave us high expectations for the next day. Upon returning to the camper we cleaned our found treasure of great tasting wild mushrooms, had supper then sat outside watching the sun as it disappeared over the mountains and listened to the sounds of nightfall as the last of the light faded away.
The alarm went off at 4am as we rose and prepared for the day's hunt. It was a cool morning but the weather report was predicting temperatures to be in the high 60's with no rain. We dressed accordingly and headed down the dirt roadway to our spots. My wife again went to her ground stand on one side of the road which was near where we seen all the sign the day before. I inturn headed up to my favorite area high up on the opposite side of the road where I've hunted before near a feeding area but still well within radio range of each other.
Predawn, I reached where I was going to sit and settled in to wait to see what the day would bring. Well, daylight came and about 15 minutes into it I heard the sound of something coming my way from over the hill. It wasn't long before I saw the familiar sight of a Fisher Cat headed towards me not knowing that I was there and walked to within 30 yards of me before stopping dead in his tracks. Maybe he saw me standing there or something else bothered him as he turned back the way he came. Disappearing back over the ridge I smiled to think that these are normally very wary creatures and seeing them in the wild is not something that happens a lot.
The sun was rising now and with its first rays I welcomed the warmth it brought and knew it was going to be a nice day. A couple hours had passed by without seeing any sign of an approaching deer as I sat listening intently to my surroundings while watching the red squirrels as they played among the trees and chased each other along the ground. At 9 am I contacted my wife on the radio after finding out that neither of us had seen anything yet and agreeing to contact each other again at noon I returned my concentration back to the woods.
When it reached 11 am, I decided to still hunt over to the other side of a flat area I knew only to well from a previous year's hunt. The sun was high in the sky by now and hardly a cloud could be seen anywhere. The temperature feels to be in the 60's as I slowly make my way across all the time watching and listening for any sight or sound. When I reached where I had planned on I picked out a good vantage point at the base of a ridge to sit for a while and watch a trail that lays just below me. Off in the far distance I could hear an occasional shot and each time thinking to myself, there's another buck down, whether it was or not, but just hearing other shots gives you hope about the area. Over the hill behind me and down the mountain side lays the Lake and with no roads between us, only woods gives you hope that one could be wandering about feeding. I've only seen two other hunters up here in past years because not many brave the hike up the side being as steep as it is, but knowing deer like their privacy and upon seeing the sign I've seen I know it's a good area. Across the lake about 2 miles from me is a small town and depending on conditions, occasionaly I can hear the sounds of a tractor trailer's jake brake as he makes his way down one of the many hills and roads that run along the other side.
Its now noon time and I can hear the siren that sits atop the fire station far across the lake as they sound it off each day at 12 as a test. No need to look at my watch to see that its now time to contact my wife again. With the ear piece in our ears so any noise is kept to a minimum, we talk for a couple minutes making sure each other is ok and whether anything's happened. Putting the radio away I take out a sandwich and thermos to have my lunch after making sure there's nothing happening around me.
After I have my lunch I look at my back pack which lays open on the ground beside me. I figure what the heck, nothing's happening anyway so I slowly pull my deer grunt call from it and give a couple low grunt sounds and set it back in the pack. Not 3 minutes go by when I hear footsteps coming from behind me. As I turned my head ever so slow I saw a deer walking along the side of the hill about 40 yards away now. Surprised, I see it's a buck as I see the antlers. Did he hear my grunt calls? Was he laying down not far from me? Questions, lots of questions quickly run through my mind as I raise my rifle to my shoulder and take aim just behind his front shoulder and squeeze the trigger. It all happened so fast I didn't have time to let the event sink in. Jumping to my feet and chambering another shell staying at the ready I hurry to the deer being as excited as if it were my first. Thank you Lord, and thank you dad for this I say as I approached the buck. I don't care how many bucks the good Lord allows me to take I will always have that excitement with each one.
An 8 point lay on the ground in front of me as my heart rate returns to normal now and I retrieve the radio to tell my wife who I know at this time is waiting to hear. What a day, what a hunting experience. Never would I have expected it to happen this way. I think silently to myself, right dad, you always said they'll appear when you least expect it.

Thanks for a great story. It looks from the picture like New York has a lot to offer. I've never been there and had no idea what the scenery was like at all. I also enjoyed your stories about the mushrooms, I love to eat them but would never pick any as I have no idea what to look for or what is safe to eat.
That's a beautiful buck and proves once again that dedication and planning are what counts to make a successful hunt.
Thanks again for sharing your experience with us.
I still think that you are a crazy man !
Submitted by groovy mike on Thu, 2011-03-17 12:22.
I still think that you are a crazy man to get in the woods that long before daylight, but it sure works for you! So I can't argue with success. Those Fisher Cats are cool. I've seen them a couple of times and they always make my day. They are neat little creatures – kind of like pygmy wolverines, or weasels on steroids! One of these days I have got to go mushroom hunting with you so I can learn which ones are safe to harvest. They sure do taste good friend up with a little butter and onions!
Feeling encouraged about the area when you hear other shots is a great attitude to have. I should try to adopt it instead of feeling like somebody else just shot 'my' buck every time I hear a shot on opening morning.
I know what you mean about that excitement with every deer we are blessed to see in the woods during deer season. I feel the same way too. I think that is why we hunt! Its that addiction to adrenaline that keeps us coming back year after year!
I still have never taken an eight point or better. That is a fine deer for the Adirondacks and a beautiful day like you describe is a great day to chase them. I don't know if I have stood in exactly the same spot your photograph was taken from, but pretty close to it! I know that hill! I think maybe the next time I hunt there, I'll try going down toward the lake. It would be a long drag if I bag a buck, but there sure won't be many other hunters in there.
Thanks for sharing the photo and the memories of that great day in the Adirondack deer woods!
I agree with that last
Submitted by jaybe on Thu, 2011-03-17 11:56.
I agree with that last statement. You just never know when they'll come in and where they'll come from. I have even had them walk in on the same path or trail that I used to get to where I was. Deer are curious critters, and sometimes it seems that their curiosity is what causes their demise.
When you spoke of the mushrooms, I couldn't help but think of the Morels that we often find here in Michigan. Every year, many people come to certain areas of Michigan to hunt for these tasty fungi. But like you said, it is imperative that you know what you're looking for. Especially with the Morel, because there is another one that looks very much like it that is locally called a "false morel". Some people refer to them as "Caps", because the top is set on the stem like a cap, whereas the true Morel is all one piece. Some people can eat them with impunity, and some people get a mild case of indigestion from them. But many people get downright sick if they eat them. I never wanted to try them when the real thing was usually available as well.
It's great that your wife likes to hunt with you. It sounds like she enjoys just being out there and is content to sit at her favorite stand - I assume that it's not too far to walk. But you like to wander and explore other spots that are past-producers - as well as probably some brand-new spots.
Thanks for the great story. That picture really shows off the beauty of that particular area.

Thanks for a great story.... I spent the morning up there with you. From that picture, it is some pretty steep stuff you were in. I can see why that weeds out a lot of by-the-road hunters. What beautiful scenery!
You said you would have never expected it to happen that way... why? You did what it takes to "make it happen" that way. You put yourself in a position to succeed. Ya know, I've been called lucky a lot of times when I taken animals. I like to tell people that I have found my luck runs in direct proportion to the amount of work and effort I put in. I work very hard (and I love this kind of work) at hunting and it pays off.
I enjoyed reading about your entire hunt. You are lucky to have your wife along. And oh, those mushrooms!! Wild mushrooms are so very succulent and flavorful. Just think, that night you could have had fresh venison tenderloin with fresh mushrooms on top. It just doesn't get much better than that.

Congratulations on a very nice New York 8 point. Thanks for the story, it was a great read. By that picture you have there of the lake it looks like there is some really nice scenery there. I liked how you summed up your story with your last line. I can't tell you how many times I have seen that happen, appearing when you would least expect it.
